Yorks Cafe & Coffee Roasters

Due to being a frequent travel through Birmingham, i have always been wanting to see what Yorks Cafe was offering (I only wanted something to drink since i had a huge breakfast).

I was greeted with a wonderful server who asked if i had any special requests or allergies, before coming around to take my order. The atmosphere was a nice vintage look inside. Personally I do love that style of environment.

Moving on, they have a large variety of food and drinks and i tried one of their special lattes which had turmeric, cinnamon and ginger. The taste was unique and i had nothing like it before. It definitely refreshed my pallet.

Overall, i am very pleased with the coffee and the staff and will definitely have to revisit within the near future. Thank you so much for your service.

The carrot cake was lovely, vegan too! Wasn’t dense or dry, really nice. Also enjoyed an oat latte with some beautiful coffee art on top. Staff very friendly. Lots of vegan cake options and a few savoury food options. I was able to work on my laptop here for an hour and it was a nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

Too greasy for our liking.

We ordered two dishes, the house breakfast and the two chicken stuff, drawn by numerous positive online reviews to this restaurant. However, upon arrival, we were informed that the menu had changed, leaving us to navigate a new menu and new prices.

The house breakfast (15£) featured toast so thinly sliced and deep-fried it resembled croutons more than bread. Unlike most other places, the sausage was overly soft, lacking in texture. The mushrooms and bacon were unremarkable, though the poached egg was delightful. It was disappointing to find only one enjoyable element in the dish.

The ‘two chicken’ (14£) was overwhelmingly greasy. The thick toast was drenched in oil, making each bite akin to swallowing oil, and the chicken’s thick batter encased dry meat, with the dipping sauce doing little to cut through the grease. The only saving grace was the refreshing pickles.

On the bright side, the drinks met our expectations, with both the chai latte and flat white being satisfactory. The location is convenient and the decor pleasing. However, for those seeking a tasty brunch or mindful of their diet, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

I was in Birmingham for a City break with a friend and we discover York’s on google when we arrived at the Train station. Last Sunday we were starving after our journey coming from London so we decided to have a brunch.
The cafe was very busy but we didn’t have to wait long to get a table, we ordered a Yorks House Breakfast which was so delicious, Fried chicken & French Toast with a beautiful sauce on the side and the Masala fries which were very tasty. Staff was really lovely and friendly.
Also great coffee selection and perfect atmosphere for a Café.
We went back again for more coffee and Avocado smashed and Feta cheeses on Toast, so yummy!
Probably one of my favourite cafes ever!

First time visiting Birmingham and this is hands down the best place around for brunch. I had the butter chicken with French toast and wow… never had a better breakfast in my life. Amazing atmosphere with friendly atmosphere. I am gutted that I don’t live nearby so that I could come back regularly. Compliments to the chef, brilliant food and warm establishment.
