This is not the best café in Selly Oak. I have been in here once as I thought I would give it a try one lunchtime. However, I was not too pleased. There were not many options or much even on display. I settled on a baguette, which I am not even sure was fresh. It is quite simplistic inside, but I am not sure that it is a good thing. I think the place could do with a lick of paint and just jazzing up a little bit. I think they could do with a few more options on the menu too as Selly Oak is full of cafes and so people will probably go elsewhere for more choice. The staff seemed friendly enough though and the prices were quite cheap. I think the place just needs some tlc and then I would go back and so would others.

There’s not so much an emphasis on pastry as the name would lead you to believe but on sandwiches so perhaps a different name would be appropriate. The front of the store doesn’t look to appealing and there are probably better establishments to visit in the Selly Oak area. You can grab yourself a decent baguette here but that is nothing special when you consider the array of options at eateries elsewhere. I’ve no doubt that some people will be fans of tasty pastry but unfortunately it just didn’t quite do it for me.

My experience of this place wasn’t an amazing one. The tables and chairs looked very cheap and the place was lifeless. Would it kill to play some music maybe? The pasties unfortunately all were bought in and being used to that high street pasty shop chain this was a big disappointment. There were no other pastry related items on the menu so the name was a bit misleading. The glass cabinet was sparse. After deliberating what to have it turned out that the menu on the wall isn’t accurate and actually there are quite a few things they are out of(whether this is usual I’m not sure). I settled for the coronation chicken baguette. It was nice. Coronation chicken is coronation chicken at the end of the day. I’d suggest walking a couple of metres in either direction(Selly Sausage or Café Face) for a better lunch.
