Been here twice now because they do a gluten free breakfast. We were unsure at first about having to queue to get in but now I know why there is a queue in the first place! The food is absolutely delicious, made with good quality fresh ingredients. It's difficult to find a nice gluten free breakfast so I'm glad we gave Grand Central Kitchen a try. Also the staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble. 100% recommend. 👌
Super impressed with Verdo Lounge when we visited last weekend. Excellent service & amazing food! One of the best gluten free menus I have seen & staff were so attentive and helpful. Loved it, can't wait to visit again soon!
I have celiac, and I cannot overstate how incredible the staff here was. I told them I have celiac, they have a gluten free menu and everything on it is celiac safe. They brought out my coke and my dad’s beer seperately to make sure there was no cross contamination, which was just incredibly kind. The food was spectacular, one of the best meals I’ve had since I ate out. The directions on maps are kinda weird though, it’s on the second floor of the mall, not the first. Kinda tripped us up there. Solid price too, cannot recommend this place enough

Had such a good time!! Staff were lovely, really friendly and welcoming, food was delicious, wide selection and very inclusive with a vegan and gluten free menu. The cocktail menu had lots of options and the drinks were equally as delicious as the food.
It's a really nice size venue and the toilets are accessible and well maintained.
Visited Coffee Tales in the Jewellery Quarter yesterday while visiting Birmingham. We had the gluten free hazelnut cake and a jacket potato with cheese and beans. We have been in the UK for 3 weeks now and this was the best jacket potato I have had since visiting! SOO good! The gluten free hazelnut cake was amazing, I really liked the Nutella frosting! Plus the portions are huge, definitely good value for your money!
Food and service is always excellent - thanks to Ananya today). Our dog loves the outdoor space and we appreciate the heaters that keep it toasty. Tried the gluten free chocolate brownie which was delicious.
Honestly the best fast food service i have ever been to. The staff were very friendly and quick, there was a quiet, cosy and clean atmosphere and the food was 10/10. As someone who is gluten intolerant, it’s usually hard for me to have fast food and it be tasty and affordable but this place was spectacular. The food also contained the caloric and allergy/dietary requirement stickers on the menu which is very helpful. Definitely recommend and would come here again.
Disclaimer I didn't eat here, I'm coeliac and the restaurant were completely transparent and said although items were marked GF they use the same utensils and wouldn't be suitable for those with coeliac. It's a shame as the food looked amazing. Just be sure to ask about cross contamination etc, if you're intolerant and not that sensitive or can have trace amounts of gluten it's prob fine though
Super cute cafe we visited whilst on holiday and they have gf and vegan options. As coeliac it was lovely to have some options that were coeliac safe. The biggest thing that inclined me to to leave this review though is the amount of thought they put into cross contamination when preparing my drink. They cleaned the milk frother spout, the milk jug and prepared it before my friends order containing gluten. I even heard them say 'this is for the coeliac' when passing the drink to each other to give it to me. I really appreciated the amount of forethought they'd put into preparing my drink as that has never happened in my 6 years of being diagnosed coeliac so MASSIVE THANK YOU! It really meant a lot to me and made me feel safer to enjoy my order. Lovely setup and decor inside the coffee shop, lovely looking cakes and just the vibe was chill. Highly recommend! P.S. the latte was perfect!
Great food, full of flavour. Attentive service. Clearly labelled gluten-free options. Gluten-free bread has milk. There are many vegetarian options. Usually you need to wait for a table as it is busy.
Lovely food in a relaxing environment.
The team were able to cater for my gluten intolerance changing the bread for a gf alternative.
Many thanks to Kim, and Eliza for the wonderful coffee.
Thank you to all the team.
Came across this delightful cafe while visiting Birmingham Jewellry Quarter. We had the Harira soup, flatbread and a drink. Both were delicious. They catered for ny dairy free and my husbands gluten free diet. Will definitely recommend this cafe.
Always tasty and fresh. However, staff should be better trained not to put gluten free products together with gluten baked goods. We ordered over the phone a slice of the matcha raspberry cake and was put together with two other gluten baked goods. Because of cross-contamination my friend couldn't eat it. Also, since I was not present when the slice of matcha cake was cut, we were given the dry edge of the cake which for £3.50 it is not worth it.
Absolutely amazing service and hospitality from Hend and team at the Damascena Coffee House in Edgbaston; atmosphere warm, welcoming, pleasant music, clean and comfortable; Chef 👨🍳 welcomes with a smile... delicious and healthy cinnamon chai; free private parking off Hagley Rd available. What a delight to dine-in with family and friends OR take-away with gluten-free and vegan food available 😋 🙏 👏 ❤️
Unfortunately although the menu states that there are gluten free items on the menu, the owner let me know they can’t guarantee any of the food is coeliac friendly. (Double unfortunate as I had eaten there before not knowing this) I would advise removing the gf signifiers from the menu. Serving staff are wonderfully friendly though and nice choice of drinks!
Fantastic cafe visit now! Lovely friendly service very clean. Great range of breakfast options. Gluten free. Vegetarian and vegan. Great pot of tea. Delicious avocado smash.

It's okay. For the price, could have done with another, local sausage instead of the cheap one supplied. A few more beans and some nice local slice. Bacon was excellent. A pepper grinder and a teaspoon with the drink would have been good. Mocha didn't taste of much, either coffee nor chocolate. Did good gluten free toast.

Superb hidden gem. Lovely staff and allergen information about each item on the menu available to see on the counter. Had Gluten Free Big Breakfast ingredients from the Full English. Still very full. Yum. Thank you, Charlie's Kitchen. Hope to see you again.
We liked the informal and friendly atmosphere of the cafe. Food was excellent and service was great. The only thing that I was disappointed by, was the fact that they informed us that g/f bread was put in the toaster used for all bread - a big no-no for my wife who has Coeliac disease. The cafe had a supply of expensive g/f bread so I was surprised their practices stop real coeliacs like my wife enjoying them.
PROPER gluten free food! Not just alternatives made from supermarket items but proper soft buttery toast and big thick pancakes. I was so impressed! Lovely chai latte as well. I'd 100% come again when I'm in Birmingham. So happy to have proper decent gluten free breakfast foods, lots of choice of sandwiches and stuff too.
