Birmingham City Centre
Food scene
A great place for coffee or food near Grand Central Station. The menu is breakfast and Lebanese-inspired dishes and I really recommend the Arabian eggs. They also do lovely cakes - all made on p[remises. Open all day on Stephenson Street which is right opposite back entrance of Grand Central.

Amazing baked goods & coffee in the 1sst floor foyer of the Mailbox where there's lots of comfy seats to chill. But they also have a restaurant just in the corner where you can get a great brunch.
