    The Medicine Bakery is a staple for those who brunch in Brum. The food is excellent. Well priced. Generous portions and overall delicious. From street level up the stairs you are greeted with a take away counter for loads of baked treat and bread which look and smell amazing. You then have a small hallway with bench seating where the coffee are made which did get a little congested as it’s so popular. We did book which I thoroughly recommend to not have to wait for a table. The dining room is large. Bright and airy with high ceilings, loads of green succulents and gallery walls. Current exhibition is a photography collection of black culture in the UK. Lots of bench style seating down the middle which means you may share the bench with others (something which never bothers me) The service speed is what lets the venue down. The coffee is excellent but always takes a long time to come. This has been a consistent issue with all my visits. The food is delicious. Beautifully cooked and seasoned. Though offering black pepper from a mill and not powered would be expected in a place like this. Overall it’s great with slightly nonchalant service. Book ahead and make sure you have a hearty appetite.

    Much more than just a bakery! Medicine is by far my favourite place for brunch in birmingham, the food is gorgeous and made with high quality ingredients. Presented beautifully and with really well-balanced flavours. The location itself is wonderful, going through a hole in the wall in the murky town centre is a bright sun-light filled room with art and greenery. A super welcoming change to the streets. The coffee is okay- not fantastic but the sweet treats are fabulous as to be expected. Definitely a spot worth hitting up if you’re in birmingham. Truly a gem in the rough. Service can be quite slow and inconsistent but it’s understandably very popular and busy during weekend lunchtimes. The food definitely is worth the wait and the fair prices. The harissa eggs benedict changed my life and the medicine is gorgeous too.

    The bakery is amazing, the vibes are great. The pastries they have are on another level. The seating area is great though looks like a big hall. The atmosphere was very nice. It was busy, the service was a bit slower than usual though still very friendly team. I recommend it Follow me for more honest reviews, honesty is the best policy
