This building dates back to 1876, when it was used as a junior and infant school. The school closed…read moredown in 1982 and the building was changed and adapted to become the Cradley Heath Community Centre and Citizens Advice Bureau. The centre has two large rooms and two smaller rooms that can be hired for functions, clubs and meetings. It is home to Cradley Heath Model Railway Club and also hosts loads of other activities including dog training sessions, Zumba classes, slimming groups and local councillor surgeries. I really like the building, but I fear that it is getting a bit run down and neglected. The community centre still plays a big part in local life and gets really busy during classes and events. Yet at quieter times, local kids tend to mess about around the building and I once saw one idiot climbing onto the apex of the roof.

I always thought this place was a school, til i saw the adverts for zumba outside on the gates…read more Well it was a school til it became a community centre and home for most the clubs in Cradley. Like the rest of Craldey is looks abit rubbish from the outside, and the inside still looks like a school. Everything here is council funded and in my opinion that means you'll find a leveled very safe and standard service throughout. Avoid if possible.

DO NOT USE THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I have never ever come across such outrageously rude staff. I cannot…read morebelieve they can still be running as a business when they have such poor customer service skills. There were 8 of us that had travelled across town and sorted out Childcare, but because of their poor organisation and communication they had messed up our booking and we had to go strait home. The man on the desk got very aggressive and argumentative and didn't offer us any kind of solution, or even an apology! If I knew who to report this disgraceful place to, then I would. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE! You don't deserve my 1 star Wheelspin Karting, but I had no choice.

Now closed. The new owners could not turn it around.read more

We stumbled across this place while escaping the rain at the Christmas market and it was such a…read moregreat find. A small flat white and small cappuccino for £6 total is a rare find these days and we both loved our drinks. So much flavour and nice, strong coffee. My only reason for giving 4 stars is that the layout was a bit cramped and it was slightly lacking in customer service. If you're just popping in for a takeaway coffee though, this is a fab spot.

I never normally do this anymore but I'm so in awe of this place that I'm writing the review before…read moreI've even finished eating/drinking. I knew I'd love this place as when I walked in, the smell of roasting coffee flew into my nostrils, Faculty literally had me at hello. So more about this love affair, the coffee is brilliant, the cakes taste fantastic and the tea is a relaxing and soothing as the cute little tea pot suggests. The staff working were friendly and happy to offer advice (to me and another customer who had 21 questions about the origin of the coffee) - credit where credits due, the young chap answering knew the answer to every question! They are also linked to next door, a sandwich shop which is perfect for lunch and you can even order from one side and go and sit in the other or vice versa. Owned by the same husband & wife partnership and matched with the same awesome decor. It's not often I'm in Birmingham but one thing for sure is this fling is sure to continue every time I venture in!
