Review by sammyboy

Rating: 4.00This place is ideally located next to the bars and clubs of the arcadian and has excellent decor and a brilliantly welcoming and clam atmosphere, i had a chicken papaya and vermicelli which was totally delicious, it really went down well and i even used chop sticks to eat the whole thing.

The food was lovely and was cooked expertly, in fact the whole experience is one i hope to enjoy again soon, next time i am in birmingham city center. I recommend cafe soya to amyone who appreciates chinese food and like to eat in comfortable friendly surroundings. Well done to the staff and particular praise to vanessa the owner who made me feel really welcome. Im feeling hungry just talking about the restaurant and cant wait to visit again.This place is ideally located next to the bars and clubs of the arcadian and has excellent decor and a brilliantly welcoming and clam atmosphere, i had a chicken papaya and vermicelli which was totally delicious, it really went down well and i even used chop sticks to eat the whole thing.

Not usually a mad fan of cafes but this is quite close to where I live so sometimes if im hungry and im up northfield, i pop in here and get something to eat and sit outside and watch the traffic rushing by as i drink my coffee and eat my jacket potatoe!

Very good food here and quite cheap too and you don't usually have to wait too long. Sometimes, you get a lot of miserable people in here and they are so rude, its unbelievable. The staff are okay at times but sometimes, if they are busy, they probably don't seem friendly like they normally are.

Serve the best egg and chips around too!! would recommend to anyone.Not usually a mad fan of cafes but this is quite close to where I live so sometimes if im hungry and im up northfield, i pop in here and get something to eat and sit outside and watch the traffic rushing by as i drink my coffee and eat my jacket potatoe!

Molly's - Molly's by jdmerry

Rating: 5.00A lovely little place to go for a bite to eat. The Village Green itself is a nice place to browse around and Molly's is definately the best place to eat whilst you are there.

Unlike most cafe's you have the option of healthy food too, so this is really a good option for the weight conscious. That being said, my favourite is a bacon and mushroom baguette, at Molly's it will be cooked to perfection. I'm drooling just thinking of it!

I don't drink tea so can't tell you if they make the perfect cuppa but the coffee I can recommend.A lovely little place to go for a bite to eat. The Village Green itself is a nice place to browse around and Molly's is definately the best place to eat whilst you are there.

Coffee Republic is a great coffee shop - Is not as crowded as Starbucks and even though a similar price everything tastes so much much better and fresh.
The staff are very friendly and helpful & the facilities are nice and clean.
It is a lovely cosy & has great relaxing vibe to the shop.
I had a delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate cake which tasted homecooked and fresh.
There are also many sandwiches & wraps plus other hot & cold beverages so perfect for a quick bite.
The price was quite fair & I have been back many times if I am in the area and looking for a quiet break.
The Toilets were clean & tidy which was a bonus as I find most are just neglected apart from twice daily cleaning.
10/10 from me for the lovely service & food.Coffee Republic is a great coffee shop - Is not as crowded as Starbucks and even though a similar price everything tastes so much much better and fresh.

Hawthorn Cafe - Fantastic farmhouse by Brunetteandred

Simply the best farmhouse breakfast for miles. Perfectly cooked every time and all for Â£3.95. They also do a vegetarian breakfast.

They have an extensive menu and the staff are always friendly, even when busy. Can get very busy at lunchtimes on Saturdays and is popular with senior citizens (who have special meals deals).

Children catered for amply.

Open on Sundays until 2pm.Simply the best farmhouse breakfast for miles. Perfectly cooked every time and all for Â£3.95. They also do a vegetarian breakfast.

Pastico Cafe and Coffee Shop is situated in the Millenium Point building which houses the Imex Cinema and The Thinktank. I visited The Thinktank with my grandson and we had lunch at Pastico. It is a very clean, airy cafe and the service was very efficient and friendly. They offer a range of hot and cold food. The sandwiches are made fresh to your choice and they offer meal deals with an inclusive price for sandwiches, crisps and drink. The hot food included jacket potatoes, pasta and chips. Sachets of sauce etc. were available and free. The coffee was very good and they had a wide range of cold drinks. You can also pick up sandwiches from the chilled cabinet if you are in a hurry. Nice atmosphere and well worth a visit if you are at the Think Tank or the Imex. Excellent if you have kids with you.Pastico Cafe and Coffee Shop is situated in the Millenium Point building which houses the Imex Cinema and The Thinktank.
