We had lunch here during the eat out to help out. The food was really nice and the cakes especially. The staff were not all that welcoming, although to be honest they seemed a bit overwhelmed by the numbers on the day we visited. We had to ask for our table to be cleaned, which is not ideal in the middle of a pandemic. We were also a bit unsure about the staff handling cash/the till and also serving cakes without changing gloves, but there is sanitiser, distanced tables and face masks must be worn in the queue. We shall keep coming back for takeaway cakes but not sure we would eat lunch here again, especially not at full price.
It seems that nothing has changed since my last visit to this restaurant. I ordered a sausage and egg sandwich and was disappointed with the food. The bread was chewy and there was too much sauce, despite my request for none. My main issue is that I was only given one and a half sausages in my sandwich. Why was I shorted half a sausage? I suspect I was charged for a full sausage but only received half, and the other half was used in another sandwich. This is not a good way to operate a business. I will be reporting this to the local council and standards office.
Understaffed and messy. They will charge you extra to eat in, around £1, but still serve everything in paper cups and bags, not even any cutlery, just wooden knives and forks. Absolutely shocking profiteering on what is already overpriced food anyway. The staff are doing there best but the owners are taking the p out of them and their customers they don't even have time to clean the tables or the floor. Really don't bother No. 1 at the opposite end of the parade have plates and everything!!!
This place has really nosedived since they took over Sonias Bakehouse. They used to sell really well baked cakes, shortbread and my personal favourite was the iced buns, (which I found out recently they no longer sell). Been going to Sonias for about 30 years and the prices of the bread and cakes was always excellent, now the prices have skyrocketed. I didn’t need another cafe, they are a dime a dozen. Not worth bothering with any more, I certainly won’t be going back.

Why has this café turned into a fast-food joint? It used to be a pleasure to enjoy a nice pot of tea or a tasty cup of coffee served in proper ceramic teapots and cups! Now it's served in disposable cups, taking away from the inviting atmosphere. The sandwiches and cakes are still excellent and delicious, but now they come in paper bags! What happened to the high quality and standards of this establishment?
They advertise wedges solihull as a cafe. Don’t believe it! The guy serving told me they only do take outs We had paper cups and we had to eat our cake out of cardboard box and you pay extra to eat in! No proper cups or plates, tables dirty and bits food under table Photo on website does not represent reality. Don’t bother, go somewhere more civilised
I am extremely disappointed that all food and drinks are served in takeaway containers even for dine-in customers. There are only paper plates and cups available, along with wooden cutlery. This seems like a huge waste of resources. Despite the excellent staff and delicious food, I will not be returning to this restaurant.
This bakery is located in a local range of shops but it is also a café with a surprisingly spacious interior and some pleasant outside seating. We had two flat whites which cost £5.60 they were of good quality but unfortunately at the moment they are served in paper cups.

Nice coffee but still served in paper cups? What’s all that about, if I wanted a paper cup (which I never do) I would have take out. Cakes far too large and expensive.
nice place friendly staff relaxing m good coffee and great cakes and great bread and cakes to take home.
