Besa Coffee

Besa Coffee is a speciality coffee shop on Ludgate Hill in the Jewellery Quarter, a short walk from St Paul's Square. It serves espresso drinks, matcha and other lattes, smoothies and a counter full of bakes, and every drink can be made iced. The space is designed around working, pausing and meeting people. If you are looking for a coffee shop near me in the Jewellery Quarter, Besa is a welcome new arrival.

The coffee list covers every classic, made with care. Espresso comes as a bold, concentrated shot with rich crema, and from there you can work through macchiato, cortado, flat white, americano, latte, cappuccino and mocha. The flat white is a good test of any coffee shop, with velvety microfoam over a double shot.

If you are not a coffee drinker, the non coffee menu is just as interesting. Matcha latte is made with stone ground green tea, and hojicha latte uses roasted green tea for a nutty finish. There is a turmeric latte, a chai latte, a proper hot chocolate, speciality loose leaf tea by the pot, and a babyccino for younger visitors. Most of these come iced too, which makes them a refreshing choice on a warm afternoon.

Smoothies add a fresh option: Berry Blitz blends strawberry, blackberry and raspberry, Green Goddess combines mango, spinach, broccoli, avocado, coconut, lime and ginger, and Endless Summer mixes pineapple, mango, strawberry and kiwi.

The sweet counter is generous. Cinnamon buns come in flavours such as Biscoff, pistachio creme and cream cheese, and the brownies range from salted caramel to tiramisu and red velvet. There are loaf cakes, cookies, doughnuts and bakes, plus a vegan chocolate banana bread and a vegan, gluten free rocky road. You can see the full Besa Coffee menu on their website. The cinnamon buns come in regular and large sizes, which is handy for sharing. If you are comparing every coffee shop Birmingham has around the Jewellery Quarter, the range of drinks and bakes here stands out.

The space takes its inspiration from the Jewellery Quarter's heritage and is laid out with different needs in mind. There is a quieter area for working, with good lighting and room to focus, window seats for a pause on your own, and shared tables for meeting friends or colleagues.

That makes Besa a good fit for freelancers, creatives, locals and visitors exploring the area. It opens early on weekdays for the commute and stays open into the evening at weekends, which is unusual for a coffee shop and handy for a late afternoon catch up. Takeaway cups are available if you are passing through.

Besa also runs a mailing list with menu updates and community events, including a book club and a running club, so it is worth signing up if you live or work nearby. If you have dietary needs, ask the team about milk alternatives and ingredients, as most bakes contain dairy, eggs or gluten.

You will find it at Unit A, 48 Ludgate Hill, B3 1ER, close to St Paul's Square and a few minutes from Snow Hill and Jewellery Quarter stations. If you want a coffee shop near me Birmingham city centre with space to sit and work, it is well placed. It is one of the newer Jewellery Quarter coffee shops, and it brings a strong drinks list and a lot of bakes to the area.

Besa opens from 7.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday and from 10am to 7pm at the weekend. For enquiries, email besacoffeeltd@gmail.com or message them on Instagram.
