I made a quick trip to Faculty Coffee for the first time and I have to say, what a pleasant surprise.
The flat white I ordered was made to perfection. What was even better though, was the incredible pastry selection - made fresh in-house. The pastry I ate was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Incredible.
Always happy that I can grab some Vegan treats in the morning & have some good coffee. The hazelnut cookie and peanut butter cookie was really good. Nice place recommended by the Coffee app. Always good recommendations via the app.
I was told it has the best coffee in Birmingham. I didn't believe it until I saw 2 other people I knew also visiting the coffee shop at the same time, and saying the same.
Personally I don't drink coffee, but the hot chocolate was dark, bitter and delicious.
Saw a bacon sandwich coming out of the kitchen and absolutely regretted not ordering one because it looked delicious (and was massive).
Great spot for coffee and a snack near the station. I was in Birmingham for work and visited Faculty for a coffee before work on the first day and lunch on the second. Service was friendly and the food is simple and well executed. 'The Staple' doesn't look like much: a slice of toast, an egg, butter, salt and cheese, but it's somehow much more than the sum of its parts and was a surprisingly satisfying lunch. I tried both the peanut butter cookie sandwich and the dark chocolate cookie and both were excellent, not to mention generously sized! I'll definitely be visiting again next time I'm passing through Birmingham :)
Update: their chocolate chip cookies are TO DIE FOR! 😍
A cute little café inside Piccadilly Arcade
The oat milk flat white and oat milk cortado were a little too strong for my taste, but both great
The V60 and The grilled cheese were perfect!
I get my coffee from here every time I’m in Birmingham. Well made coffee. Service is great and staff are friendly. Nice chill vibes
Nice tiny place in the city centre. Tasty cappuccino and well prepared espresso. Don't go here if you want some well dressed and cosy place, but definitely pay it a visit if.you like quality coffee and relaxed atmosphere.
Lovely little coffee shop close to New Street station with amazing freshly cooked baked goods! Went for a basque cheesecake and a flat white!
The Faculty is one of the best coffee shop in Birmingham. The coffee taste great, even I’m not a coffee enthusiast I can still spot the differences. I also ordered a cinnamon bun and a matcha & sesame sliced cake, both are way above average. I was expecting a more oriental taste since it is a matcha recipe but turn out its a very good combination of west and east. Well done.
The place is quite small, please be expected to wait for a table for a little while.
Finally, on my last day in Birmingham.
I kept this place in my wish list and saving the best for the last.
Look at the number of beans they have on shelves, one could imagine the traffic they have got.
I had two latte during my visit.
House espresso beans from Square Mile Coffee Roaster.
Guest espresso beans from DAK coffee roaster - thermal shock process, this is unique and complex, sweet and full bodied like tasting milk chocolate with a hint of cinnamon.
