I agree with the other reviewer that the place is big, but apart from the extended clothing are the…read moreother aisles have the same quantity and choice you would find at any other store. The difference is the wider aisles and more spacious approach to the checkouts. The feeling of space is continued by the ceiling height. Now my only downside is the inability of staff to be empowered to make a different decision and this IS symptomatic for large organisations. Arrived at 11:35 for breakfast having completed the shopping. Breakfast finishes at 11:30, I am told, as I cannot locate the menu. No option to bend the rules, or ask the chef if he'd accommodate. Result Sainsbury's lose 4 for breakfast. Not the greatest lost to them in the scheme of things. Would we ever return? No. Made our way to Chiquitas where their breakfast finishes at 12:00 (noon). Arrived at 12:05. I asked if we were too late for breakfast. Greeted with the answer, that everything is possible, and not any issue. Also, over the lunchtime option to provided free refills for the kids too. Will I return to give them repeat business? Yes I will. THINK ON SAINSBURY'S - ALLOW YOUR STAFF TO BE EMPOWERED AND MAKE PRAGMATIC DECISIONS. I COULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD IT MORE IF WE HAD ARRIVED A LONG TIME AFTER BREAKFAST CLOSURE, BUT AS THERE WERE ONLY 3 TABLES OCCUPIED......WHAT PROBLEM WOULD HAVE OCCURRED BY SERVING US BREAKFAST.... YES, WE WERE HAVING A LAZY DAY WHILST STILL ON OUR FESTIVE HOLIDAY.....

This small convenience store run by a friendly husband and wife team carries all the things one…read morewould expect, including essentials such as milk and bread, cleaning products and a small range of alcohol and tobacco, but it is particularly well-stocked with ingredients for more exotic cooking - they carry a wide range of Asian spices, Garam flour, and the like. It's by no means the cheapest of shops, but this is made up for by the long opening hours (he can be open as late as 10pm in the summer months. They carry a small selection of fresh vegetables which are displayed in front of the shop.

When I first visited this store, it was a bit overwhelming as there was so much stuff all piled into the place, which is not that big. However, it stocks a range of fresh fruit and veg, some of which is stored outside during the day, so I often get a box and help myself. It states outside that it is self service. It is not so cheap, but then again he is competing with a range of other stores that stock similar items on the same road. One of the things I like most about this store, is that it stocks a range of Asian products, such as herbs and spices, which is handy when I attempt to make my own curries!

There are a few located in Birmingham, this one is not the biggest but has necessaries. They are usually busy and fresh meat and milk do get cheaper before they close because they will go out of date. They dont have a reward system like other supermarkets like Sainsbury but they are generally cheap and the things in here are authentic and are really nice. They dont have a rating of how spicy they are unlike sainsburys though but recommended.

Have been coming here since I was a child when I thought it was the biggest store I have ever seen! Now it seems tiny in comparison. They are however, always well stocked and every time I have been are never busy so it's great when you need a few things and can't face the queues of the giant store. Less of a selection of things such as homewares, but if it's basic groceries you want they have everything really, even the more random things usually reserved for larger stores. The only qualm I have is the car park is not next to the store but off down the road, and the footpath can't accommodate 2 trolleys, so can be a bit of a mare passing! Still, not really Tescos fault there. Handy, has self serve checkouts and is always quiet.

This store however is pretty good, and usually quite quiet. It has a huge multi story car park behind it as well as a street level car park which is free to patrons so its always easy to park there which is a blessing when supermarket shopping! Seeing as its not all that big they have a great section for clothes shoes and accessories, an instore pharmacy and bakery, and a good selection of products. The store is always clean and tidy and the staff are really friendly.

They stock all of your typical convenience store goods; milk, eggs, bread, cereal and so on. It comes in handy when I'm on my way into the Jewellery Quarter and need to pick up something on the go. The cafe isn't one that I would choose to go to - Rosella's a bit of a weird amalgamation of services that leaves it all a bit substandard. Anyway it fulfils it's purpose of being a convenience store, as does the cafe - so perhaps the cafe is best described as more of a convenience cafe. It's not the most extraordinary of establishment that you'll ever visit (in case you were expecting that) - but it's prototypical, reliable convenience store to get a mars bar and a pint of milk when passing by or in your slippers.

They also have dry cleaning from here now and it's a point to collect post if you're out during the day. There is a cafe in there and I'm not sure if the attached pizza take away is ever open but I may find out one day!
