28/04/2024 Been back again for brunch, visiting family here from Plymouth. Arrived dead on 9.00am luckily as the cafe filled up quicky and we were a party of 5 so managed to find a table. Service on arrival was good as usual with another Spanish lady who seemed to be in charge. Drinks were taken and bought to our table by a young girl who unfortunately wasn't of the same calibre we've come to expect, she didn't smile and didn't know the menu very well, I ordered a decaf mocha which wasn't as great as the single shot mocha I had on our previous visit. The menu had changed slightly since the last time we visited, I ordered the breakfast bap again which was just as good. Bap soft and doughy, fillings so tasty and the perfect runny egg. Hash brown fries just as good. Tried one our parties toasted sandwich which was tasty and filling. We didn't have time for a cake to takeaway this time unfortunately which I was gutted about as the counter looked jam packed with delicious treats. Still a lovely vibe in the cafe with good music playing, only let down a little this time with the young waitress, but the other lady who greeted us on arrival also food checked us and settled our bill was just as great as our last visit so not all bad. Look forward to coming back soon. 06/03/2024 Just been for brunch, I had a hazelnut praline single shot mocha which was delicious, I also ordered the breakfast bap with a side of hash brown chips, which was very well presented and tasted delicious. Maria was our server and she really was the life and soul of this place, there was a lovely vibe in the cafe with lots of hustle and bustle but at the same time very relaxed and chill. Can't wait to come back soon and eat some more tasty food and drinks. We had cakes to takeaway. I had the cookies and cream brioche which was gigantic and yummy, even had cream filling in the centre, could easily be enough to share between 2. My wife had the almond, rhubarb and orange cake which was rich and light and fluffy. Really really lovely place to visit.

So glad we found this place – we will definitely go back. We had a great brunch which included the mushroom toastie and the Italian breakfast. Highly recommend. All the dishes look great. There was a bit of a wait to get a table, but once we were seated, customer service was really good. We went on a Monday morning, can imagine they have a really long queue at peak times over the weekend!

Early Bird is our favourite brunch place ever! The menu is always interesting and varied, and the cakes and pastries are incredible 😍 plus the team are lovely! Sandra and Maria made my birthday so special with a stack of hash browns as a birthday cake! So good that I took a bite before I took a photo

We stopped in for brunch and had a lovely experience. I had the Cubano and the hashbrowns with a cappuccino. There are a few veggie options on the menu which look delicious but if you have a plain eater with you they’re a bit fussy. The cakes/pastries look divine but we didn’t partake on this occasion. The service is friendly and attentive.

This is a sister cafe to the Perch cafe in the city centre. Both sell the same things, the food is great, although the Turkish eggs wasn’t as good as the last time I ordered it. We also ordered the mushroom toastie, hash browns and coffee. All lovely, especially the hash browns, but £4 for 4 pieces is extortionate. The coffee is not my favourite, I think they should offer other blends as I find this coffee quite harsh.

Unique, exquisite taste to the mocha! Renowned for it's freshly onsite prepared pastries, 'The Early Bird' was surprisingly very pleasant. There is sometimes a short queue outside at peak weekend times, alas, success breeds certain minor problems. What stands out apart from the standard of the product, is the exceptionally polite & neatly turned out staff, an owner & head chef with a personality - which clearly resonates and impacts the staff. Quality personnel is important. Of course, this is my personal opinion but the place overall still attracts & retains a certain middle class professional clientele - The traditional 'Bohemian Moseley '! Unlike most other coffee shops in Moseley & Kings Heath. For many, this is a very important aspect of their coffee shop experience. It is a place you can sit and enjoy with out encountering the more undesirable members of society, pitching camp beside you. I reserve comments upon the food as i have not eaten there but it looks and smells delicious. Just two negatives: The size of the cup (volume) is small for £3.60. Also no loyalty cards exist. The latter should always exist as an appreciation of customer loyalty. I strongly recommend 'The Early Bird' if you want a traditional & quality experience.

Early Bird Bakery produce some of the best pastries I've ever tried - the variation of flavours is great and they are always keeping the menu up to date with the seasons. Anything 'black forest' that they make is always going to be a winner in my eyes! Top tip if you are wanting to eat in is to get there before it opens and wait outside (especially on a weekend) as it gets very busy around lunchtime and you can be waiting up to an hour for a table if there's a few of you.

Arrived once before hearing great things, however due to its popularity there was a waiting time, and I was unable to visit. You will need to que up if arriving late morning. Don’t let this put you off, after returning on another day at an earlier time the wait was well worth it. Wow the service and food was amazing. Only good quality ingredients used and delivered very well presented by their top chefs and staff. It is more expensive than your common café breakfast but with a difference in quality! I left with the wow factor upon tasting the food. I’m looking forward to returning to try some of the other dishes. This small business is a great addition to Kings Heath and clearly loved by many. Thank you all at The Early Bird Bakery! I will recommend endlessly based on my experience here. 5*
