Excellent, excellent! No wonder everyone goes to Selfridges!! This place is awesome! This was my second time coming here; the first time This time I came here for skin care products. You don't need to go to any other store to get what you need! It's four stories and is massive, it's pretty much a mall in itself. It has a relaxing, cool vibe with dim lighting! People there are very nice and have excellent service! They always have what you need and if they are out of stock, they restock quickly and will tell when they will restock. I was looking for Kiehl's and unlike most lazy sales people, the woman I asked was very attentive and actually walked me over there to sight of Kiehl's. This was very much appreciated. You really are supposed to walk them all the way over to the area, but since she was by herself, makes sense. She was very kind and helpful. Great customer service!! Once I got to Kiehl's it had a nice set up with a large range of products! They had the items I needed unlike the useless Kiehl's store in Grand Central. Don't go to the Kiehl's at Grand Central. They are rude and they don't good stock of their products, even though they are the official store. Do not go there! (It's located at Grand Central, but go straight to the Kiehl's at Selfridges! You will have a great experience at the Kiehl's in Selfridges! :)) Back to the awesome Kiehl's at Selfridges!! They are very kind and the two women there were very friendly, inviting, attentive, answered my questions, knew what they were talking about and were so helpful! I was able to get the product I needed. It was in a larger size, but I'm glad they had it and I bought it! Even though the smaller one was out of stock, they were very honest and told me when they would restock. She was very descriptive and thorough which I really appreciated and invited me to come back next week to get the other product I needed, which they would have in the smaller size. They even set me up the Selfridges mailing list! Excellent! I will happily be shopping here more! So friendly and excellent customer service!! Go to Selfridges, go to the Kiehl's there, go to every floor and company they have there! They have everything and have excellent service!! Plus you get to leave with a cute yellow bag!! :) read more

Gucci Selfridges - Cute little bags at Selfridges! Love these! :) - Department Stores Near Me - Birmingham, BIR

Selfridges is still one of the most iconic buildings in Birmingham, it has managed to stay ahead of the times since being built as part of the bullring when it launched. It still remains my favourite department store in the city and stocks everything you could want from amazing food and drink through to homeware, fashion and cosmetics. The highlight for me is the food hall on the ground floor, I think you would be hard pushed to find anywhere with the diversity and range of things you can try and buy in one place. I could easily spend a whole afternoon looking at the many weird and wonderful items that fill every countertop and display cabinet in the open and modern feeling space. One thing to note is that this place only stocks the very best of everything they sell, so don't go here expecting the cheapest products in Brum. However you can get a bargain from time to time in the many sales they put on throughout the year. In my opinion Selfridges keep pushing the boundary in terms of what people expect from a department store. Forward thinking, well designed and and always changing to keep thing fresh! read more

Big shop, excellent range, superb quality! Special kudos for the ground floor. I wish I had a lot more money so i could come and shop here more often! read more

Beautiful store both inside and outside in a very depressing city. Because of the weak pound sterling you'll find great deals on European designer brands, if it fits you of course. Can't wait to visit the Selfridges in London later this week. read more

They made very good fresh Cupcakes in the shop Selfridges and Co. The price is normal. I recommend ! read more

From the outside this is one striking building! Fantastic! Going in and there's so much to see, this place is huge, and the brand names are everywhere. Excellent selections, prices are a bit high. and there's a Yo Sushi on the ground floor as you head towards the Bull Ring, v v good food. Enjoy! read more

Since Selfridges arrived in Birmingham with the re-development of the Bullring it has become a symbol of the city's retail revival. Its beautiful, curvaceous facade is instantly recognisable, thrusting out towards Digbeth, covered in smooth silver disks. I'm a big fan of the building, and I also quite like what's inside. Selfridges Birmingham feels a lot less stuffy than its London sibling. This may be due to the design; each floor has a high, dark ceiling with exposed pipes, and an airy, open atrium runs through the centre of the whole building. This is pretty dramatic, particularly when decked out with golden lights at Christmas. The modern design also gives the store an edge. The store recently had a bit of a reshuffle so that all of the menswear and womenswear are now clearly separated onto their own levels (1 for menswear, 2 & 3 shoes and womenswear), where previously the more high street and designer labels were on separate floors. The fragrace counters are organised by brand. 'Window' displays were introduced last year in the previously gaping entrances to the store. Bright, colourful displays now dominate the entrances on levels 1 and 2, with mannequins captured in what look like huge glass display cases. The floor I seem to visit most often now is the basement, or ground floor, area. This is the food hall. It ain't cheap, as you'd expect, but here you can find a huge array of foods, including loads of sweets, and booze. Perfect place to find a special gift. There are also eateries, including a branch of Itihaas, Patisserie Valerie, Crispy Creme and more. read more

This place is Cooooooooooooool! It is sectioned out in a pretty phenomenal way. The beginning has all the eatery, restaurants. I noticed YO! Sushi, which got me quite excited. I haven't had good sushi in ages. An American friend of mine suggested going here to look at the "American" items in stock, and to see if I wanted to get anything. I noticed pop tarts, cereal, Betty Crocker, BBQ sauce, American beer. Of course, everything was incredibly marked up in prices because of the export fees/taxes. But for any one needing some candy or anything else from the States, I suppose this would be the place to get it! :) Then in the back area you have bits of shops all around with novelty items. I noticed home ware, anime/Japanese stuff, British items (of course!) and just the most random of random techie things. Like old school techie items. This place is seriously great. Be prepared to spend an hour just wandering around looking at the most random crap you'll ever see. Ever. read more

Such an iconic building the Selfridge's building dominates the city's skyline. Its striking and oozes style.. There's a lot happening inside too, thus place is just huge, lots of top brand names and had a very good selection but prices range from high to stupidly high. But this is not a place to find a bargain unless you're really lucky in the end of season sales. The ground floor is dedicated mostly to eatery's which are good place to visit and the place always smells great. They have a coffee section to the back which I love. If you haven't been. You must visit, your bound to love something here. read more

I am very often here browsing the beauty hall, and having a look around the lovely shoes. Having said that though, the ground floor is where I often am. The food, the stationery, the lovely home wares, and of course, there is a quiet Jo Malone stand away from the main stand in the beauty hall. Perfect if you want to browse without the pressure of lots of shoppers around you. My best makeover ever was courtesy of the Giorgio Armani team. Though I have to give high commendation to the Charlotte Tilbury counter too. Worth popping into the Umberto Giannini blow dry bar too. They can do a wash and blow dry, dry styling, and all kinds of creative braiding. Perfect for before a night out for cocktails in town. read more

I love the shopping here, though there are some items that are just uncalled for, the selection is great. The food court on the ground floor has selections for every taste bud, plus a whole sweet emporium for the kids...just kiss goodbye to your credit card. As the floors go up so does the price in items, so choose carefully and you're likely to find something within your budget. The staff are friendly, approachable and [though biased] useful for advice on shopping. Dont forget to check out the Gallery Bar and Restaurant on the top floor. read more

Great place for food and shopping. Many good choices and perfect place to spend your time with friends. read more

Gucci Selfridges - Breakfast - Department Stores Near Me - Birmingham, BIR

Ok, it's not as big as the London store and unfortunately just as costly to shop at, but this Selfridges has a far more welcoming ambience. I've rarely shopped here for clothes due to the prices, but I've often shopped at the food hall which has an extensive variety of cuisines. I especially love Morelli's gelato and their staff are always so nice. I'm not a huge fan of the Bullring (or shopping malls in general), but I do love the iconic architecture of Birmingham's Selfridges. read more

Always worth a look around when you are in Birmingham shopping. Yes they sell some expensive stuff but they also have reasonable priced things here. I love the food court they do a lovely salmon, tomato and basil skewer as well as sesame prawn toast! They always have a good sale on and after Christmas last year I picked up a few perfume sets at half price! I am on the mailing list and I occasionally get emails offering 10% off purchases so its worth joining up for the emails just to keep an eye out for those! read more

Selfridges Birmingham is an amazing building with a great layout and design. There are always a very different but amazing variety of things to buy but are pricey! However over the last couple of years it does seem the stock has stayed the same and has never been rotated. Definatly worth a visit though if your in Birmingham - the food department especially! read more

Huge department store in Birmingham's Bullring. The building itself is a work of modern art. Inside there is floor after floor of gorgeous departments - favourites include the beauty counters downstairs selling all the usual brands as well as more obscure finds and the designer handbag department. The food department is also worth a wander. When your feet (and wallet) are ready for a rest, Caffé Nero downstairs is good for a cappuccino and people watching. read more

This selfridges is huge, its spread over 3 floors. Wide range of stock, loads of clothes & shoes & accessories etc. Housey stuff, but most importantly.food! Krispy kreme doughnuts. Amazing. I think it works out at about a quid per doughnut which is a bit steep for a poorly funded student but they taste good non the less! read more

You can't fail to find something to interest you in Selfridges. From its iconic 'bubblewrap' exterior to its multi-level retail experience, it's a fab hub for the serious shopper. From Louboutins to Krispy Kremes, Marmite chocolate to Agent Provocateur lingerie, it's all here. As far as I'm concerned, no shopping trip to Birmingham is complete without an extended stint in here... read more

If you can't afford to buy any clothes in here, go and buy some cakes instead! They are amazing! I recommend a visit in the sales, although its busy, you can find some really cheap designer clothes, and they last ages and look great. I got a pair of DKNY cords for about £25 about 6 years ago and they are still going strong! read more

Iconic building designed by Future Systems (if you are interested in architecture). Great to gawp at expensive things and even greater when the sales are on. Don't know if they are doing well as I have noticed some concessions not being there anymore. Feels abit footballers wives sometimes. update (28thNov08) they have a 20% off most things (10% on perfume) this weekend. some of the clothes concessions have further reductions. i've also noticed that they have a new place to eat - Tiffinbites - which looked busy and enticing. also, if you are into your coffee, Nespresso has opened up a concession - fantastic selection. finally sat 29th Krespy Kreme have special chocolate promotion - things to taste and t-shirts to win if you are quick! read more

The highlight of Birmingham's Bullring shopping centre, Selfridges is a fantastic (albeit expensive!) place to shop, browse and eat. They have rail upon rail of high-end clothes, and a wonderful food hall on the ground floor. With great cakes and pastries. The building is very eyecatching and photogenic from the outside too. read more

Good Points The service was very friendly and incredibly helpful the shoes that i bought were extremely good quality and i thought that when i spilt my drink on the floor they would get angry at me but they didn't i was very surprised at this as in other shops after spilling my drink i have been shouted at the service is quick and the staff will do anything they can to help you i was incredibly great ful for this thank you selfridges Bad Points I found dust on the window displays but there really wasnt anything i could criticise General Comments Supurb job selfriges well done i would recommend you to my friends and family read more

I adore the look of Selfridges - I know some people don't like it but I think it's an absolutely stunning, beautiful building that's really added to the Birmingham skyline. I also like the way they've sacrificed some space inside to have the atrium which lets a little natural light it. It's also a really nice fashionable place - not really a traditional department store but then you have Debenhams and Rackhams for that. My one criticism though is that in an attempt to be all modern and democratic in its design, I do think they're spoiled the experience a little. For example, in the downstairs area where they have cafes and food service area, you sit on high seats with your back right next to the narrow aisles. So whilst you'd sitting eating your expensive food and trying to feel all stylish and urban, a load of shoppers are banging your back with your shopping bags! I know it makes it look open-plan and welcoming, but it just doesn't work. They need to put some sort of barrier between them and frankly also take a little out and make the aisles wider. Also, some of the very expensive items are laid out so casually - some of the clothes sections look like jumble sales, and some of the items laid out on the big tables encourage people to treat it like a rummage sale. So in trying to be stylish they often spoil things a little. So overall it's a great store, but they need to work on some things to make it great. read more

It's always fun wondering around this store, as it seems to be ever changing. There's no denying it's a high-end shop, but there are some high street additions such as Topshop. The technology department is great fun for those who are technologically minded! The food hall in here is worth a look all by itself! Whether it's overpriced American foodstuffs you're after, or even chocolate covered ants - you can literally get it all here! The food stalls are a brilliant addition, especially the sushi bar with revolving table and Krispy Kreme store - there's always a queue at both of these places! The tattoo and piercing shop was an interesting addition - although the tattoos are very overpriced, so I wouldn't recommend going here JUST because it's in Selfridges. Tattoos are something that should be thoroughly researched, so find a decent tattooist and don't just go with one because it's in a 'posh' shop! In all, it's worth a wonder around here. There's always something going on - including once, I recall, a dj performing a full live set! read more

Selfridges with all its silver disks is the usual image of the Bullring Shopping Centre and it is stunning. It's a shame that the inside isn't the same. The clothing and shoes that are available are all designer items and as such are overpriced. With the hole through the middle running down to the Food Hall, there is also not much space inside for stock. That said, the Food Hall is amazing and I wouldn't be surprised if that kept the whole store going. There is food from every corner of the world and some lovely booths to stop and have a drink or snack at. There is also a large range of homeware and stationery items which can come in very handy if you are looking for a present for someone. read more

Selfridges in the Bullring in Birmingham has a bit of hard press with it being viewed as the poor relation to the London branch, I have to disagree with this. Although it is less than half the size of Londons Selfrdiges it has a lot to offer and the size works in its favour making it much more easy to navigate and shop. There are some great designers on the 4th floor and the layout is spacious and comfortable to shop. There is a strong fun buzz throughout the store. There is the usual eateries and champagne bar which is a great break from the endless shopping. read more

Selfridges is set in the Bullring in Birmingham's city centre. It is set across 4 floors and has pretty much everything you need under one roof. In the basement is a foodhall comprising of Italian, Chinese, American and Indian food. There is a fairly good sized menswear department selling brands such as Junk de luxe, Westwood, Paul Smith etc and a ladies department selling brands such as Whistles, Paul Smith, Agent Provocateur, Coast, Chloe etc. The perfumary and makeup department has a good range and very helpful staff. The Jo Malone counter has some particually nice things on sale. There is a car park attached to Selfridges so parking is easy but a little pricey, if you are spending the day in Birmingham it may be cheaper to park elsewhere. read more

as much as i've heard of the glory of shopping in Selfridges, unfortunately my stop was only at their bar to grab a quick drink before heading to the train station. although my quick stop made my bank balance happy as i'm not sure this store falls within my budget!! first off this place is pretty massive. it take up a sizeable part of the bullring shopping centre and i'm pretty sure it's set over three floors. i nipped up to the top floor and made my way to the bar. it's a fairly good space, very light and airy and chic. there is a bar to sit at or a few high top tables that sit along the edge of the mezzaine overlooking the shopping centre. i sat at one of these so i could do a bit of people watching while i had my drink. i was brought the drinks list and also a february cocktail list that had about half a dozen cocktails for a fiver. i took advantage of the offer and had a passionfruit bellini while spending 45 minutes just watching the world go by. it was both a really nice treat and a lovely way to end my time in birmingham. the staff were attentive but i was glad they mainly left me be until my drink was empty and i was asked if i wanted another one. this is definitely a great place for shopping but also a great place to just grab a drink and enjoy some down time. read more

Selfriges takes up one end of the Bullring. There are four floors covering a wide selection of items. The first floor is taken up with food and wine stores, Paperchase, a home selection (including a huge television!) and the Nespresso counter (my personal favourite). The food on offer is varied, from sushi to Indian to donuts to burgers. The wine selection is good and the staff are very knowledgeable and can help you pick out the perfect bottle. While the selection is good and some items you won't get elsewhere, as this is Selfridges, the prices are a little above what you would pay elsewhere. They often have offers on the 'top ten' wines. Also, there are often samples of drinks to taste at the weekends. I sampled the chilli vodka and quickly had to rush over to Ed's to grab a smoothie as it was so hot! The Nespresso counter stocks the full range of capsules that you can buy. There also offer samples of the coffee so you must give it a go! The second floor is clothing, both mens and womens and I would say that it is directed towards a younger audience. It includes American Apparel, Miss Selfridge, Topshop and Primark. It is just a smaller selection of what you would normally get in the larger stores. The sale areas tend to be put together in reasonably one location within each little 'store' so that's convenient. Sometimes it can feel overstocked and it can be difficult to move around. The third floor is cosmetics, mostly top range, perfume and men's stylist clothes. There are knowledgeable staff on the cosmetics counters who can help find the right products for you. On the fourth floor is a champagne bar (which I have yet to try) along with womens top end clothes and shoes. It includes LK Bennet, Agent Provocateur and in the bag section, Prada, Gucci and Jimmy Choo. There is always a good selection of shoes on offer and there seems to be always a sale on. There is a lot more space up here but this could be because the clothes are more expensive so only one or two are needed on the display! Overall, Selfridges is great to wander around and admire items. The food section is good if you want foreign, especially American, imported foods and the shoe section is definitely worth visiting! read more

The look of the place and its design are amazing - and were long overdue in Birmingham City centre let's face it. It is indeed overpriced generally speaking, as many others have commented on - but you are paying in part for the overall shopping experience and the environment you are in. Horses for courses folks- if you are looking for a bargain there are plenty of other haunts in Birmingham rag market, Primarket, H and M to name but a few). If you want some lovely high end treats whether it be toiletries, lingerie or the latest fashion this is the place to be. Ok - I am not the most designer kid on the block these days - but I still get annoyed at times when you see new trends on the telly or in your favourite mag and you cannot find a stockist. You can pretty much guarantee that the kit you see your favourite celeb wearing in 'Heat' will be in Selfridges within a week. The best bit though - the food !!!! every delicious thing you can think of . If you have a sweet tooth like me check out the jelly belly concession - its fab. Its also a brilliant place to find quirky gifts for those friends who seem to have everything. Well worth a snoop if you have not been already. read more

My favourite department store in Birmingham, easily accessible by public transport, the nearest train stations are Birmingham Moor Street or Birmingham New Street. Although, it is a short walk from Digbeth Coach Station. So, there's plenty of ways to access the city and this department store. I would say this most definitely a must visit for all those fashionistas living in the West Midlands or just taking a day trip into Britain's second city. This is the best place to shop if you want to get everything under one roof and the funkiest building in Birmingham. read more

Great choice, although expensive at times. Look out for the 20% off events.

Great shop, and much better than the one in Manchester which seemed a bit run down and unloved when i was there. The design of the building is just fantastic. The outside is now a pretty solid architectural icon in town, but they have been very clever inside as all the floors have a large open space in the middle, which allows the smell of all the lovely food to waft through, making you feel hungry. Before you know it you've put down those designer jeans and are sitting at Yo! Shushi. read more

Great store,love browsing round in Selfridges. So much stuff and loads of unique items as well. Love the gifts and gadgets, even if they are pricey. Love the hello kitty section as well :) And of course, how can you go wrong with a krispy kreme concession, especially when they give them away for free! read more

This Selfridges feels slightly smaller than the one in London (not sure if it really is, but it has that feel). It also manages to feel airy and modern at the same time, and is normally a nice place to shop, particularly in the week when it is less busy. There are a lot of speciality foods, and even a 'pour your own vinegar bottle' section! They have a wide range of global foods, and the fresh food counters always look delicious. However, most things are very expensive for their size which is the main downside. The rest of the shop is clothes, although there are some books( eg the kind you give as amusing presents to friends, etc.) and some electrical equipment (eg cameras). Overall a pleasant, if expensive, shopping experience. read more

This is one of the biggest department stores I have ever bee in! It is so big, it has cafes, a suishi bar, Krispy Kremes, and that is just the lower floor. They have designer clothes, highstreet brands There is also a tattoo parlour, also does piercing - although it is much more expensive than a regular tattooist! The stuff is very pricey in here. read more

The diamond in The Bullrings crown, this store is awesome! Service is great as is the selection. Prices are pretty reasonable compared to other stores stocking the same brands. The essential stop for anyone in Birmingham. read more

Amazing if you're looking for a variety of choices in the food section!

This is the best place to shop in Birmingham. It has every single thing you could ever want under one roof. From food, to handbags, to jewellery they have it all. It's the kind of place you would love to visit when your pay check come through. The have concessions of different designer stores from which you can buy the latest designer gear. For ladies, there is a handbag heaven at the ver top floor. Having said that, selfridges is relatively alot more expensive that your conventional high street shop, its just the kind of place you go to if you feel like splashing out. read more

I love this place. No problem ever finding an outfit here! Also very nice at xmas some great quirky gifts on the bottom floor.
