Coffee shops in Birmingham

Birmingham's independent coffee is spread out rather than packed into one district. There is a cluster around New Street and Colmore Row, another in the Jewellery Quarter, and student cafés out in Selly Oak. Java Roastery, which began as Java Lounge in Moseley in 2005, roasts in the city and runs four coffee houses.

Every Birmingham coffee shop we list

Plain links, so every venue is reachable without a map or a search box. Pages marked as unverified are published but not yet checked: we do not put prices or hours on a page until somebody has confirmed them.

Areas of Birmingham

An area gets its own page once enough of its venues are verified to be worth one. Until then the venues are listed here directly, because a card that only leads to a thinner copy of this list is a dead end.

  • City centre2 venues

    New Street, its shopping arcades and the office district around Colmore Row, all within a short walk of New Street station.

  • Jewellery Quarter1 venue

    Jewellers' workshops north-west of the centre, with daytime cafés around the Georgian St Paul's Square.

  • Selly Oak1 venue

    The student district along the Bristol Road near the University of Birmingham, a few miles south-west of the centre.

What coffee costs in Birmingham

What a Birmingham café charges depends mostly on where it pays rent. A coffee bar a few minutes from New Street station competes for commuters and office workers, while a café in Selly Oak serves a student neighbourhood with different rents and different customers. A roaster with its own coffee houses buys green beans rather than roasted ones. No independent survey of Birmingham coffee prices could be found, so this directory will record each shop's prices once they have been checked.
