It is quite nice cafe but the only problem is the toilet can be cleaner.

This coffee shop is a great spot to work or have a chat while taking a coffee and some sweets. I ordered an americano and an orange cake with chocolate topping, both perfectly prepared.

This may be the best thing to do in selly oak! The cafe itself is atmospheric with a great playlist and super helpful staff! They serve delicious toasties at a great value price (3!!) as well as sweet treats! Painting pottery was fun too - prices range form 4 - 15 and they provide you with paints, palates and brushes. As these aren't kilm fired you can take them home straight away too! They also offer evening craft activities like crochet club on a Monday evening. It was a real hidden gem when we visited and I will be returning again!
