The menu keeps things simple and satisfying. Sandwiches are the main event, and several of them carry local names, including the Trafalgar, the Salisbury, the Oxford and the Woodbridge, each a nod to the streets around Moseley. They make the café feel rooted in the neighbourhood, and it is fun to work your way through them on repeat visits.

A cheese toastie is a classic order on a cold day, and paninis are pressed to order for something more filling. In the morning there is scrambled eggs on toast, and the menu covers enough options for breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. Everything is made fresh when you order.

Drinks are just as important. There are coffees and teas, from an americano to a milky latte, plus real fruit smoothies and milkshakes for something cold. Cakes and desserts sit on the counter, with chocolate cake and banana bread among the favourites, so it is hard to leave with just a drink.

The portions are generous, and the thick bread on the paninis means they fill you up. Meal deal bundles make lunch easy if you want a sandwich, snack and drink in one order.

The café does not list dietary information online, so if you have allergies or need vegetarian, vegan or gluten free options, ask the team when you order. They can talk you through the fillings and suggest what will work for you, and most sandwiches can be adjusted to suit.

Weekday lunchtimes are the busiest period, so arrive a little before midday or after 2pm if you want a quieter table. Weekend mornings are relaxed and good for a slow coffee and a toastie, and the smoothies make a good choice after a walk or a gym session nearby.
