The beautiful tearoom offers a range of delicious food and beverages in a unique and historic setting.
It’s the perfect spot to meet up with friends or family, whether you’re here for lunch or just coffee and cake.
Open Wednesday - Sunday, 10am - 4pm.
Our spacious tearoom is open to both museum visitors and passers-by. It’s fully accessible, family-friendly, and breastfeeding is welcome. We offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, along with a children’s menu.
We’re immensely proud to showcase some flavour of Birmingham and to be forging relationships with businesses from across the West Midlands.
