“Super high quality coffee without the snobbery, quite the opposite in fact.”
Edward Rivera, Google review
Reviewers keep saying the same thing: the team know their coffee, from processing methods to milk pairings, and they’re happy to help you choose. Some come back to the table to ask how it was.

“I had a great time at the Coffee Bar Collective. Went there a couple of times while on tour in Birmingham and had 2 exceptional pour over coffees which were really interesting. The pour over menu is extensive and each coffee is brewed using a different method and following a specific recipe. I also have to add that the guys working here are very knowledgeable and happy to help you choose a coffee you might enjoy. They're also so nice it's actually ridiculous. Fantastic service.”

“Visited the coffee bar today and had a great experience. I was warmly welcomed, got curious and asked about the different roasts available. Alan took the time to explain the flavour profiles in a clear and helpful way. I tried a guest coffee which stood out straight away, and I ended up enjoying it a lot. I also asked for recommendations on beans and got some thoughtful suggestions. Overall, a great visit and I hope to be back. Keep up the great work, guys!”

“One of the best coffee experiences I’ve had in Birmingham The coffee itself is absolutely outstanding excellent quality beans, perfectly prepared, and you can really tell they know their craft. What impressed me even more was the service. Very professional and genuinely passionate about coffee. They even came to our table afterwards to ask how the coffee was such a small detail, but it says a lot about how much they care about the customer experience. Amazing coffee, amazing people, and proper coffee craftsmanship. Definitely coming back”
