    Joe & The Juice - Iced Gingerbread Latte (2023)

    This is a pretty cool Joe & The Juice location, which meets the usual high standards set by the…read morechain. it is a large kiosk area in Birmingham's Grand Central, it is just outside the John Lewis unit. I think the location is a huge benefit as it allows the store to keep trading even though John Lewis has closed, unlike my local Joe & The Juice in Manchester, which closed permanently due to being located inside the Debenhams store in the city, which closed. The area really does feel cool and modern, from the large juice bar to the seating area (decent size, could be bigger to cope with demand at peak times), which is comfortable, unique and has nice views of the Grand Central complex, I sat overlooking the balcony and it was super relaxing. I ordered an Iced Latte with vanilla milk, it is a shame the largest size is only 16 oz compared to rivals such as Starbucks who offer up to 24 oz. The price came to £3.50 which included 10p more to sit inside (I've never heard of any other coffee shop charging a tax to sit inside?), which was a little pricey but I would say the quality warranted the price. PRO TIP: Use their app to pay where you can sign up to their loyalty scheme to get perks. You can even buy a gift card that gets you any food item/coffee/smoothie at a reduced price, the only catch is you have to buy them in bulk, but then you can use them whenever you want. My drink tasted really good, I loved the coffee quality and the refreshing, innovative sweetness of the vanilla milk which complemented the drink superbly well, I just wish there was more of it! The staff seemed friendly and eager to help whenever possible. 4*

    Ok, ok, look. Part of me wants to give this place fewer stars, because it's an expensive, (though…read morefresh juice is always pretty expensive) juice chain-- a chain that even exists across the Atlantic in my hometown of New York. But like, I don't own a juicer. And you know what, Joe and The Juice makes really great juices. That's why they are a successful chain. They know how to juice. They have tons of interesting fruit and veg combos to try. So on occasion I will shell out what's left of my meager savings for a delicious, refreshing cup of pressed fruits. Plus, it's convenient, smack dab in the centre of Grand Central. And it's a nice alternative to a cup of coffee (although if you want coffee, they have that too). In sum: juice is delicious, and it is here, at Joe & the Juice. And my wallet may not be happy but my stomach is. And if you're *not* like me and have that juice money to spend on the regular, then you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in Birmingham City Centre that has this many juices available.

    This place has been bookmarked for too long, to be honest I think I was a bit over excited when Dan…read moresuggested we try it out. There's something really drawing about the whole place, I mean there's neon lemon signs for goodness sake. I'd been to other bubble tea places before, and I think the Happy Lemon focuses less on bubble tea flavours and varieties and more on differed oddities all together. You also have more customisation here than ever, what kind of sweetness you have have your drink (30%,50%,100% etc.) our server even made suggestions and recommendations on what we ordered. She was also really patient whilst we tried out the different 'cheese foams'. This place is perfect if you want a drink but are bored of coffee and don't fancy alcohol. I'll be honest I was really sceptical of Dan's 'Green Tea with Rock salted cheese' but it works! Think caramel salted latte, but if anything way more refreshing.

    The Birmingham Happy Lemon is a fairly new bubble tea and specialty drink store with inspired…read moreflavours that you'd find on the streets of Taipei. The chain is barely a decade old and already has amassed 500+ stores across the world. While the name suggests an abundance of lemons, you'll find that and more with a plethora of very interesting boba combinations. Some of the menu items are milk based while others are simply a refreshing tea. In total, you have drinks divided into the following categories: milk tea, rock salted cheese, lemon smoothies, milk tea smoothies, fresh lemon tea, fruit matcha latte, and a variety of specialty drinks. This is the first boba bar I've seen with rock salted cheese as a flavour, and it's apparently one of their more well-known drinks. Happy Lemon is well sited between New Street Station and the Chinese Quarter. I've found that it's the perfect after dinner treat on the way home or a good way to jump-start a night out. The drinks come in a medium or large size, and the price can vary widely depending on what ingredients you request. There is also an additional surcharge to make some of the drinks hot. I've tried a couple of the drinks so far, and I feel that their fresh teas are a real strength of the brand. They are seriously refreshing, with most balancing between sweet and sour on the flavour profile. I can see myself drinking them a lot more this summer when it's warm out. I've also tried their more experimental flavours, such as the red bean & pudding matcha latte made hot. It's basically caramel (or mango) pudding mixed with milk and red beans. As a hot drink, it's great on cold nights. The drink may sound unconventional for some people, but it's worth trying at least once. If you like Happy Lemon's drinks and plan on visiting here often, I suggest signing up for their 'LoyalTea' loyalty card. It costs £5 up front, but you get a free drink of your choice. Each drink purchased gives you 1 point, which can either be redeemed for Happy Lemon branded merchandise (Happy Lemon iPhone case here I come) or at 10 points, a free drink. Overall, Happy Lemon does a great job focusing on one product that it does really well.
