The food was good and the full English breakfast was very delicious. The special lattes are also a hit, I would recommend the Mermaid Latte if you want something eye catching and tasty. The area where this place is situated is absolutely beautiful and the service was also really good. However the only thing which was concerning, from the visit I made recently, was that the decor seems very tired. The menus were dirty, and the walls were also quite dirty. It seemed quite unhygienic.

This was an interesting place to visit on our walk along the canal. The place is modest with limited variety - mostly brunch or hi-tea options. The quality and serving size was good, the drinks were great and the place had a cosy atmosphere to it. The avocado toast with chicken should ideally be grilled chicken and not fried, but overall a good experience.

Took Mom for her b'day the place looked amazing inside g right by the canal! The afternoon tea was delicious 😋 Things I will 100% have again. Our server Paul was a superstar really welcoming & friendly & although place was busy, he always made sure he didn't forget anyone, or anything, needs a pay rise! Ziania who served us towards the end was lovely also🌟🌟 Definitely would return & already shared photos with my sister so we can go next time she's in B'ham 💯 Thanks for a great experience 💞

Lovely little place just outside the mailbox. I booked the afternoon tea and it was a delight! The scones were warm and fresh and the cakes and sandwiches were an acquired taste but we throughly enjoyed them. The setting is very picturesque which is abit of me. Only thing I would suggest is maybe limit the amount of customers you have in at a time as the place is small and can get cramped and humid! Also the service was quite slow but there was only one person serving at the time so we understood! The custom was lovely and I will definitely be making a return. 🌸🫖☕️🍰🧁💕

Had a great time at this place! Location: It’s literally a hidden gem in Birmingham near the canal. It’s quite small but cosy. Menu: Has breakfast, brunch, desserts (little options), milkshakes and variety of other drinks. Taste nice. In my opinion, everything is reasonably priced considering how they present the food and the place. Had the desserts and it was delicious! Interior: It has a flower wall and a table with flowers in it with lights (pictures below) which are good photo ops. It also has nice decorations on the ceilings which makes the place feel more welcoming. They also have nice music playing but I sometimes found that it was quite loud and everyone was talking over one another. Staff: The staff were lovely and were able to recommend what they thought were good. They offered us a free slice of cake if we posted the food on social media in which we took them up on! Unfortunately did not get a picture of the cake (it was really tasty) but I had the chai cake. Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting this hidden gem!

It's been four years since I've been to England and alot has changed in this lovely city of Birmingham. My husband introduced me to this delightful tea room, the service was fantastic and the food was amazing. I never though I could eat Belgium waffles without having to take a dairy-pill (recently became lactose intolerant) but they have vegan friendly options and very fancy drinks. Weather you're a resident or a tourist, I highly recommend this place if you like sweet and , surprisingly, savory meals!
