“Come down for a Somali breakfast and to work away from home for a bit. Food was 10/10, the liver was tender and full of flavour. Great Somali tea and excellent customer service. Overall, a very clean, comfortable and affordable cafe. Will be retuning”

Visited on recommendation and it was well worth the 25mile journey! The food was all absolutely delicious with superb flavours and generous servings, the Somali tea was divine and I had my first taste of dream cake! Food is freshly prepared on the premises from family recipes, cakes and desserts choices change regularly. Family run - very friendly and welcoming, clean and comfortable.

Absolutley amazing, had a private event and was catered for. The food we got was to die for... Real somali flavours!!!. The design and decor of this somali cafe is top notch probably best in Birmingham.

“This is a great addition to the high street and we were not disappointed. Upon arrival the place was not too busy and we were seated very quickly which is always a bonus. The menu was not over complicated and the choices were varied. We opted for the salt & pepper squid and spring rolls for starters. The squid was fresh and soft and the springs rolls were devoured with ease. For mains we had the chicken pho, beef pho, slow cooked beef stew and beef vietnamese coconut curry. The pho was very filling and the taste was on point. The slow cooked beef was amazing and so soft that I would try this again. The curry was also very tasty. All in all it was good experience and have no issues in coming back again. The staff are also very friendly. Keep up the good work guys!!”

“Not much to look at from the outside but the friendly welcome and amazing food definitely make up for that! Very generous portions of very decent food! We'd only popped in for a light lunch and could have shared one dish to be honest. In addition to the food we also had brown sugar bubble milk tea which also hit the spot - actually not too sweet! We also received complementary green tea which was very refreshing. Will definitely return again!”

“I visited here two weeks ago. Prior to coming, I messaged the cafe via instagram to find out if they catered for gluten free and diary intolerances (not the same person). To my delight they said they did and so decided to pay them a visit. When you step inside here, you cannot believe you are in bearwood. It has a lovely atmosphere. We were there for a friend’s catchup, but there was also a mother and child sat nearby and also couples. The cafe does not take bookings and so be prepared there may be a wait. We were fortunate enough to find a table. The cafe were very accommodating for me and my friend who is gluten free, and were great at suggesting substitutions. I ordered the sweetcorn fritters and asked for the cheese to be removed as I have a diary intolerance. They asked if I wanted more avocado instead and I declined, instead opted for more pomegranate. (I think there was already half an avocado on the dish anyway). I also ordered a side portion of turka beans. The food was generally yummy. The sweetcorn dish was really tasty. I was also looking forward to the turka beans, which didn’t go with my meal, but had them on the side and in fairness was a large sized portion. I didn’t really enjoy them though as they put hard crunchy chickpeas in throughout. I still ate them as the side dish was expensive, and just picked the chickpeas out and gave to my friend! The above lunch cost me over £20 hence the 4* rating. Food was nice, but feel the price was a bit steep for a small cafe in bearwood. Or has everything just gone mega expensive?!”

“If you are out for a walk in Warley Woods, or around the Bearwood area, you have to stop by the orange van to see the Happy Coffee Man. A big menu of drinks with absolutely superb coffee, delicious freshly baked cakes and pastries but most of all, friendly warm service. The staff are absolutely lovely and great to have a chat with. I visit every week with our mum's and babies walk group and they always serve everyone so quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend!”

“Lovely little gem in Bearwood! Staff are super friendly, the pistachio cookie served warm was a pleasant surprise and the milk cake was light and tasty. The newspaper style menu is a nice touch. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely revisit.”

“An amazing establishment, highly recommend if you’re looking for a breakfast/brunch spot. High quality food with authentic homemade twists. Tomatoes were seasoned lovely, the homemade beans were so flavourful and not your typical out the can rubbish. Potato rosti perfectly seasoned, best breakfast Ive had in Birmingham! The hot drinks were top quality too!”
