I only now discovered this place after two years of coming from time to time in Sutton. I had already adjusted my expectations regarding coffee and when I discovered this place and tasted the freshly roasted specialty coffee it was like hearing a choir of angels sing. Loved it.

Great place for coffee (tea) and cakes and we’re always happy to support small local businesses rather than sharks. Coffee and cakes are far superior than other coffee shops and this comes at a great price too. The place is always busy so that’s always a good sign. Keep it up.

Firstly the coffee is delightful - I can only comment on their flat white, but it's a step above any other that I've tried in the area. Velvety, revealing, consistent. Secondly, the sheer number of books I have begun reading here, that I haven't been able to start anywhere else, is testament to the atmosphere the owners have created. With a quiet library feeling too much like school, and a house being home to chores and responsibilities, the people, the music, even the seating, help make a novel feel more like a short story. 10/10 - I could go on, but I have a book to read and another coffee to order.

Some of the nicest coffee I have ever had, echoed by my partner too, who is a self-proclaimed coffee snob so it must have been good haha! We sat in and there is a pleasant but peaceful vibe in there. I wouldn’t say it’s cosy, but it’s a great place to enjoy a coffee and have a chat / get some work done. The quality of the coffee is unmatched though, and they seemingly roast their own beans? I mean they have a roaster but we forget to ask as we left. Either way, outstanding coffee, worth a visit just for that. A flat white and a black coffee did the trick for us! There is a small cabinet of cakes and treats but we didn’t sample them unfortunately, but they are there if that’s your thing! The service was lovely too, clearly very knowledgeable guys who love coffee. Effect and chatty, it was a joy to drink here.

Lovely local independent. My oat milk was steamed to perfection (the texture was so perfect I thought they served me cows milk!!) lovely coffee and cakes with quirky flavours (ginger and rhubarb) and great value at 2.5 each. A must if you’re in Sutton town centre.

If you really appreciate a 'damn fine cup of coffee' then you need to walk past all the high street chain coffee bars in the main area, and head a few hundred yards up the road to here. Has to be one of the best independents in Brum, serving consistently excellent coffee, in whatever form you wish. Also happen to have a lovely range of locally made cakes on display, at sensible prices.
