In the heart of England's second city, one café has cooked its way to the top, earning the title of Birmingham's highest-rated spot for a classic Full English breakfast.
The Award-Winning City Centre Eatery
Grand Central Kitchen, situated directly opposite New Street Station on Stephenson Street, has become a beloved institution for locals and commuters alike. This relaxed city centre café has achieved an impressive Google reviews rating of 4.8 from more than 2,000 reviews, cementing its reputation for quality and service.
The café's excellence was formally recognised when it was named the Best Cafe in Birmingham at the 2022 Birmingham Retail Business Awards. Despite its compact size, the eatery maintains an easygoing atmosphere that draws in crowds daily.
The Famous Full English Experience
Their signature breakfast offering lives up to the hype, providing a truly traditional fry-up that leaves customers thoroughly satisfied. For £11.95, the substantial plate includes two sausages, two bacon rashers, fresh baked tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and a choice of cheesy omelette or poached egg, all served with white or wholemeal bread.
During a recent visit, the full English arrived promptly despite the café being packed to capacity. The portions were generous and well-prepared, delivering excellent value for money in a central location. Vegetarian customers are equally catered for, with a meat-free option available at the same price point.
More Than Just Breakfast
While the Full English breakfast has earned Grand Central Kitchen its fame, the menu extends far beyond morning meals. Throughout the day, customers can enjoy a variety of wraps, pizzas, sandwiches, baguettes, Paninis, and Ciabattas.
The service consistently receives praise for being both quick and efficient, even during the busiest periods when staff are handling large crowds. One satisfied customer captured the general sentiment in their Google review, stating: "Excellent place for breakfast, good service and food cooked to perfection."
With its prime location opposite Birmingham's main transport hub and commitment to serving fresh, fast food at its best, Grand Central Kitchen has firmly established itself as an essential destination for food lovers in the city.
