Our Story
A little café with deep Digbeth roots
We opened in a former leather workshop on Floodgate Street in 2019 — two of us, one second-hand La Marzocco and a stubborn belief that Digbeth deserved coffee as good as its music, murals and makers.
Everything is still built the same way: beans roasted a few miles away, bakes made each morning, and a room that stays open long enough for a proper conversation.

Kind Words
Recommended by the people next door
"The nicest room in Digbeth to lose an afternoon in. Warm light, old brick, and the flat white is genuinely the best I've had in Brum."
"Staff remember your order and your dog's name. That's the whole review, really — but the cardamom buns deserve their own paragraph."
"I work from here two days a week. Fast Wi-Fi, no one rushing you, and brunch that beats anywhere in the city centre."
