I was visiting PMB from the UK and found myself coming here a couple of times during my stay. The coffee, croissants, and sandwiches were all really nice, and the croissants were always fresh. But what really stood out the most was how incredibly lovely all the staff were. Every single person I interacted with was so friendly and welcoming, and it honestly made such a difference. So a big shout out to all the staff!! I’d definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area, especially if you appreciate genuinely warm and friendly service.

Loooved it. The ladies started cleaning while I was still working because they were about to close. I packed up, and they felt so bad. One of them said, “Bhuti, we weren’t chasing you away,” — that really melted my heart.

L o v e d t h e B R O W N I E S! The coffee was good, but nothing could compare to the brownies. Two of our kids had shakes and one had a baby chino. Quick and friendly service. What a gem in the Midlands! H I G H L Y RECOMMENDED! Ten out of ten!
