I had some time to kill after soundchecking for a show. I went to the warehouse cafe to get a bite and walked into a jazz band rehearsing for a show. I got a veggie burger and a beer. Was delicious and soon people started to show up. I stayed for the jazz bands set and I had such a great time. I had to get back to the venue for my own show though so I had to split! I would go back here in a heartbeat if I lived here. read more

I am a meat-eater, but I do LOVE a good veggie dish... Vegetarian and Vegan food doesn't get any better than at the Warehouse Cafe. Situated a little out of the way, but really easy to find when you know where it is (Head to Moor Street Car park opposite Selfridges, under the bridge and then follow the arches; literally 4 minutes walk from the Bullring), the Warehouse is a real treasure. Now run by two of the chefs from it's previous incarnation, the menu is always changing to offer the best seasonal local produce. As well as a range of food options, the juice and smoothies are also excellent. New flavor combinations are offered all of the time to help you get your 5-a-day in! The inside feels lofty and airy with hardwood furniture and floors. It's a lovely warm space that offers WiFi - and they now do "Bottomless" tea and coffee at selected times on weekdays if you're looking for somewhere new to work. Now... one of my favourite bits... It's BYOB! They have a very good selection of grown up soft drinks (Fentimans and the like), but if you want to take a nice bottle of wine or some beers in; it's up to you. It also keeps the cost of a meal down! The food isn't pub cheap, but is very good value for the quality and not what I would term as expensive. In summary, if you want to get some healthy food in you - head to Warehouse. Grab a bottle and I can guarantee you a comfy, delicious and reasonably priced dining experience! read more

Lovely place ! The Classic vegan burger was to die for, so tasty : perfect (you may add some cheddar or halloumi if you want to) ! Chips were ok, served with ketchup and vegan mayonnaise. We also tried the desserts : Apple pie and lemon tart, both were really good too (with a little preference for the lemon tart ;-)). The restaurant is on the 1st floor (stairs only, I think). I definitely recommend ! read more

The Warehouse Cafe - Vegan burger ! - Vegan Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

I have been to Warehouse Café over 10 times since it re-opened under new management (I should have done a review sooner right?!). I love it that much! It's a place that's when you tell someone about it, or take someone there they say "I never knew this was here! It's amazing!" It's vegan, vegetarian and has gluten free dishes which ticks all the boxes for me! I can honestly say that every time I have been in, there has been a different starter, main course and desert (and drink if you are lucky) as special in all the times I have been to visit. Not many restaurants can boast that right? SO don't forget to check the board! Every time I have visited, it has been busier and busier each time and Friday and Saturday nights are usually fully booked. The menu has something for everyone drawing on lots of cuisines, and adding a sprinkle of originality. There are 4 types of burgers that I would recommend you try. On my last visit last weekend, I had the millet salad which contained an variety of components with a delightful dressing. Perfect for a lunch I would say, They don't do the alcohol but you are allowed to bring your own with a small corkage fee. Ant and the whole team are so friendly and accommodating that is a joy to visit. They even know about my issues with food now so make feel so I don't feel like a weirdo so much! I don't want to make my review detailed I as I just want you to go! The Warehouse Café makes me so proud to be from Birmingham. read more

Since I have visited The Warehouse Café early this year in a Yelp event, my curiosity about the food just grew bigger. Luckily, as part of my new food" educational plan" where I am fully vegetarian (by choice and pure enjoyment), the chance of trying the menu just arrived this week. When I tracked down to Digbeth with my friend Melissa, occurred me that I should have booked a table. I heard it's a popular restaurant during the lunch time and I was right. We had the table but in some minutes, the place was packed. The menu at Warehouse Café is not full of option but they have exactly what I was expecting for a vegetarian restaurant. A welcoming orange juice to open my appetite and I was prepared for a starter. My choice was falafel to start because you can't go wrong with some chickpea falafel and a delicious beetroot tzatziki ( which I just found out is a Persian dish made with yogurt, very popular in Greece). Love it. Very refreshing and perfect in the summer! As main, another curious one: Bulgar salad. I think chickpea is a new hit now in my cooking! This delicious dish (in a very fair portion) got me. It reminds me quinoa salad but the combination of flavours of roast veggies and a nice touch with nachos really is something. As I am not eating any kind of bread, it was an easy option for me as well. No dessert this time but It was good to know they also sell cordials. So I brought a delicious (made in Selly Oak by Cuffufle) ginger & lemon one back home. I confess I am curious about the burgers and I may go back there for them, in some point. The service is wonderful. Everyone around are pretty nice and a smile of the face is the best business card indeed. read more

Situated just behind moor street station, the Warehouse Café may be overlooked by some, but is quick becoming one of the most popular vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Birmingham. Especially considering how busy it gets! I was here last night for a friend's birthday celebration. After picking up some booze (as the café is BYOB) we ventured down and, as it was after 5.30pm, we rang the doorbell and were quickly escorted upstairs. Once the whole crew had arrived, we heard the specials (which included tagliatelle with roasted vegetables and stilton burger) and spent the next few minutes deciding what to have. While my starter was a an easy choice (Port and Stilton pate), the main proved difficult. I just could not decide between tortilla filled with cheese or halloumi 'fish and chips'. In the end, the birthday girl decided for me and I got the halloumi. The pate was just as I said, Port and Stilton. For the first time, pate actually tasted as it was described! The accompanying salad and bread were perfect and I was fully satisfied, I just wish I could have had more! The 'fish and chips' was battered halloumi served with home-made potato wedges and pea puree. Again, I couldn't get enough of it and the halloumiwas a decent size. We were offered desert but I was far too full at this point to have any more but the small taste I had of the chocolate brownie was fabulous. According to my friend who had it, it was not too rich nor too sweet and went perfectly with the accompaniment. The Warehouse Café is a perfect little establishment that is one of the gems of Birmingham. On leaving the other night I booked a table for the following Friday for a special meal with my partner. And yes, you have to book! The place gets incredibly busy on the weekends, a sign of its worth and growing popularity, not only among vegans and vegetarians, but all in the community. read more

I have been meaning to go to the Warehouse Cafe for a while now. Thanks to our lovely and thoughtful community leader Vix, I had a chance to go. There is plenty of parking around the area which includes pay and display car parks and street parking from 70p upwards. This restaurant is a quirky and beautiful. They change the decor every month and all the pieces are on sale to the public there after. What a nice idea! In particular, I love the tree bark plant pots on the window sill. I noticed that they have a 5* food hygiene rating. 5 is the most that any establishment can score. I was really pleased to see this. I ordered the normal veggie burger with sweet potato fries. It came to my table rapidly, even though the cafe was very busy. The waiters were very attentive and polite. I also ordered the mix fresh fruit juice with ginger. The taste was stunning. The burger was tasty, it included nuts which was fab. I can't wait to go back again. I felt so confident eating food that had NO MEAT CONTAMINATION!!! Yipee. read more

We popped back to the Warehouse Cafe today with a friend. We shared the mezze platter and fritters which were delicious & perfect starter size. I ordered the burrito wrap ( containing refried beans) and potato wedges - it arrived with a lovely small salad too. But I was very disappointed with the filling which was barely existent. I left feeling full but mainly due to the large potato wedges which were fabulous! We shared the orange chocolate brownie for dessert but asked for no marmalade. It arrived with berry compote which was tasty but perhaps in future it is worth advising customers that the dish has changed. Great service as usual and a really enjoyable experience! read more

I have been going to warehouse cafe for over a year and can't believe some people still have never been here before or what they are missing out on! It was recommended to me by a friend who i assumed was just a little over enthusiastic about the place. How wrong i was. The service is first class and the the food was second to none. I can honestly say we had one of the best meals we have ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection. The staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable and coupled with the great atmosphere and fantastic food made the whole night brilliant and was a great end to my evening. We will be back! read more

I've visited warehouse a few times before since being cows milk intolerant for a worry free meal and tonight didn't disappoint! Had the Lebanese garlic bread special to start which came with hummus and salad and was delish. Had the trusty halloumi fish and chips- the wedges are amazing! Then the bitter chocolate dessert. I normally have the brownie but deferred and wish id stuck to the brownie (which is delicious) as the fruit on the other was a bit too spicy for me. Good times all round though and left with a food baby and very contented! read more

The Warehouse Cafe - Halloumi fish and chips - Vegan Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

How have I neglected to review the Warehouse before now?!? This wonderful little Vegetarian and Vegan restaurant nestled away just round the back of Moor Street Station has been a semi-regular staple of ours for a while now. Even as omnivores the Warehouse has a lot to offer. Since re-opening recently(ish) the Warehouse has gone from strength to strength under the leadership of Ant and Rob who continue to develop and serve fantastic veggie/vegan food at superbly reasonable prices. The 'fish' & chips is an absolute must, perfectly cooked battered halloumi and thick cut chips - you can't go wrong! The decor is very stripped down and simple without attempting the 'minimalist' vibe that a lot of places seem to be aiming for these days. It's understatement allows the quality of the food to shine through completely. One of the main factors, aside from the food, that keeps me going back here is that it's BYOB. They serve a variety of homemade smoothies and juices, as well as tea's, coffee and soft drinks but the lack of a licence for sale of alcohol means the price of everything is driven down and you can have a fantastic meal without breaking the bank if you want to. The service has never been short of exceptional - I'm so glad the guys re-opened The Warehouse! read more

Reviewing a venue with a great reputation is always a bit of a challenge because its a little boring to just agree with everyone else and you start to pick apart the experience. This is just on a side street less than 5 minutes walk from Bullring. Into the rather random reception area and then up the stairs to and turn left. The waiter knew Vicky our community manager which meant we were already "known" food and service were excellent and I had the "fish and chips" Very tasty and I'd bring Birmingham newbies here just to show them the tip of a foodie iceberg that is eating in Birmingham read more

The Warehouse Cafe - Fish and chips!! - Vegan Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

This was my first experience in a meatless restaurant. Sometimes I will pick the veggie option but this time round that was my only option! The menu is very simple, a small choice of starters, a slightly larger choice of mains and 3 dessert options. I had been eying up the halloumi fish and chips but in the end I decided to be brave and go for something I wouldn't normally choose - in this case the Lazy Dumplings. I'm glad I made that decision and ordered something out of the ordinary - I will however not order it again. There was nothing wrong with it its just apparent now it didn't blow my mind. For drinks I opted for a hazelnut latte, I usually order hazelnut flavoured coffee - hell, i keep a bottle of hazelnut syrup in my desk draw! I had a feeling this would be different though, i wasn't wrong - it wasn't sickly sweet like usual nor overpowering in the coffee. It was the nicest hazelnut coffee i've had so far. I rarely have dessert, usually the portion sizes of the mains in most places are too large anyway - but this time I thought i'd give it ago. I had an apple crumble with soy custard - and I think the trendy way of describing it is a 'deconstructed' apple crumble. You'll see from the photo I had a pile of crumble (very tasty and not coated in sugar), a pile of apple sauce (hopefully not from a jar) and the remaining third of my bowl was reserved to the soy custard (which tasted like regular custard). The actual cafe is up a narrow and steep flight of stairs, so unless I missed the lift I'm afraid its not wheelchair accessible and the loos are also down stairs and round the bend, and shared with male and female. I think I would visit again though, the staff were lovely and you can tell when someone actually cares about there work - but it's not going to be my go to place - to be honest I think i'd need to map my way there. read more

Really welcoming little restaurant tucked away behind Moor Street station. Food is all vegetarian and all delicious! Spoilt for choice! Corn fritters were so tasty -good starter for only £4.50. Banana and chilli trifle for desert was also 'interesting' and had a bit of a surprise kick at the end! I am not vegetarian but I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a relaxed night out with friends. The staff are so friendly and chatty and really welcome peoples views on their food. Service is also quick. It's also a bring your own alcohol venue, so this can help cutting down on the bill at the end of the night. read more

I like the Warehouse Cafe because it feels like a hidden surprise. Just behind the Bullring, it's not something you'd stumble upon unless you knew where it was. Food is always hearty and tasty.. the regular menu tends towards standard vegetarian fare which is wholesome and healthy, and then their ever changing specials offer something a bit different which can often be a tasty surprise. It's a great place to pop to for lunch, though if you wanted somewhere for a posh dinner date I might choose somewhere else as it has a very rustic cafe feel to it even though it does do dinner. read more

Visited the warehouse cafe for the first time this week, after reading a lot of good reviews. What a hidden gem !! Was very pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing had a refined bean Tortilla couldn't fault it at all. I loved the chill sauce on my salad really good . The service was great too staff are really friendly make you feel welcome. The drink selection wasn't really my thing but you can take you own which is a bonus. This place is a must visit nice and cosy atmosphere, food was amazing and I can't wait to go back and try more. read more

Situated in Digbeth, and only a short walk from Selfridges and the Bullring, this is a must for any food lover. I am veggie, and really adore this place. Airy, great service, and a well thought out food menu that also reaches out to vegans and those of you that are gluten intolerant. I tried the corn fritters for a starter, which were very tasty, Halloumi 'Fish and chips' - with proper oven baked potato wedges, battered halloumi, and a crumble with ice-cream and mango jelly dessert, I couldn't have faulted the food. My friend, had a veggie burger, and I can honestly say I have never seen so many wonderful options for a veggie burger on a menu. Although I would've liked a bottle of wine with my dinner, they do offer the option that you can bring your own wine. A busy place and well worth a visit. I'll be back... read more

Last time I visited was maybe 5 years ago, I can't remember it that well because it wasn't that memorable. We each had a mildly soggy veg burger, mediocre chunky chips and a yucky cup of tea and the place was empty. However, we had a team event on at the nearby Impact Hub and needed a close by place to scoff lunch for around 8-10 people. I thought well it's veggie and prices are OK, so no one will likely worry given most of our group were Muslim and we needed Halal. Booking was fine, just a quick call that I followed up with an email. We arrive right on time and our table was there ready. The place was pretty much buzzin' with lunchtime diners. Service was polite and friendly, ordering was pretty simple and once completed we sat in anticipation of a long wait seeing how busy it was. But to my absolute delight scoff started coming out quite quickly once drinks had been served. We all managed to be served close together too so there was none of that should I chow down now or wait for X or Y to be served (finally!) kind of agony! The food was good and represented very fair value. I had the battered haloumi with chunky chips and I rate it. I'd set a £15 ordering limit for our group but even with drinks we came in well below that. Service throughout was entirely fine. We were dealt with efficiently. There was a sense that the guy and gal on duty were old hands and knew everything about the business and how to serve customers. They earned their tips. I would have no doubts about returning. This last time my expectations were not that high. I was hoping for at least OK for my group, but it was way better than that. Well done team! read more

A favourite of the girlfriends, Veggies galore. I was a bit skeptical on visiting a place where no meat was served, I love meat, steak, ribs, burgers, you name it I love it. I was looking at the menu and I believe I had one of their mexican veggie burgers with tortilla crisps on top. The meal itself was surprisingly nice! Great flavour from the burger and the coke which is brought in from a local manufacturer was so good! Better than normal coke! I couldn't believe that the burger tasted so nice without any meat. The staff were lovely and friendly and very accommodating and the space where the restaurant is, is a cute quirky space with a few local art pieces on the wall. Overall it surprised me more than anything but was really nice and worth the money and somewhere where I would go again, but being a meat lover only if the girlfriend was adamant on it haha read more

We randomly decided to check out The Warehouse Cafe after a day out and about in the city. Myself and the MiniMonkey settled for a tofu quiche with salad and new potatoes and some garlic bread. It was scrummy. Never did I think I'd have to argue over garlic bread with a small person and never did I think he'd happily eat tofu Service was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Will certainly be back read more

Tucked away it can feel like a trek to get there and as a fussy eater who isn't vegetarian there wasn't a whole lot of choice. I did my usual default to a potato and cheese item off the menu. Having said that you can't deny the freshness and quality of the food and if you have vegetarian friends they will feel spoilt eating here. The Warehouse Cafe feels homely and really relaxed whilst being served food that really feels like its been made with love. Cheesy I know, but as you walk past the doors to the kitchen you get a sense of the professionalism and passion these guys have in what they do. read more

Possibly the best vegetarian menu I've seen in Brum. Freshly cooked to order, there's love and imagination in everything, check the chalkboards for specials. Just a five-minute walk from Moore St Station, there's no need to book, but the word's out so expect it to get busy. I ordered the fennel burger, it came with the sweetest sweet potato fries and a small side salad, at around £8ish I thought it was great veggie value for money. Be sure to check out the ever-changing artwork, they exhibit new local artists every month. It's casual and great for larger groups. Don't be put off by the side streets it's nestled in, this indie's well worth the short stroll from the bustle of Bullring, and for the drivers there's some on street parking too. read more

The Warehouse Cafe - Fresh n flavourful, fennel burger at the Warehouse Cafe - Vegan Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

This is a place that I had been meaning to visit for quite a while and I finally booked a table when faced with a dilemma over where to book a table for my strict vegetarian friend. The Warehouse Cafe managed to please them and a dedicated carnivore who was very pleased with their veggie burger. The staff are friendly and attentive so you feel comfortable. Overall, it's the best vegetarian restaurant that I have been to in Birmingham. The restaurant has an understated decor that is welcoming and relaxed. It's a bonus that it's BYO so that you can take your own wine. There's a good menu with additional specials so you have plenty of choice. I enjoyed the enchiladas which I would definitely eat again and came with tasty wedges and a spicy salad that deserved a review of its own. Despite feeling pretty full, I found myself polishing off a raw chocolate mousse topped with spicy fruit. It contained many healthy foods and I didn't realise that avocados could be that tasty. I will be definitely be going back, however I would recommend that you book a table as when we went, it was fully booked. read more

Unless you knew what you were looking for, you'd be hard pressed to stumble upon this gem of a restaurant, tucked as it is away from the main drag of both Digbeth and Aston. Serving exclusively vegetarian and vegan dishes. It's not fancy, but it doesn't need to be, preferring instead to espouse eco-friendly values over any kind of glamour. The food itself is very nice, and there are usually specials available to keep it varied. Much of the food you'll be unlikely to find anywhere else in town, at least in vege-friendly format! Prices are pretty average, which is to be expected from a down-to-earth place sourcing good quality ingredients. It's a bit of a trip, but if you're looking for somewhere to suit a fussy non meat-eater, The Warehouse is a good bet. read more

This cafe/restaurant has a lovely cosy, relaxing atmosphere that makes eating here really enjoyable. The menu is completely vegetarian, with many vegan options (including many vegan desserts) and is fairly simply and unpretentious food. The menu is fairly small but they offer a range of specials that change every day. I can recommend the sausages and mash (perfect comfort food!) and both the vegan ice cream sundae (on their regular menu) and their vegan cheesecake (often on the specials board) are FABULOUS! They also offer a huge range of interesting drinks, with a particularly large range of different teas. They are also happy for you to bring your own bottle of wine (and will even provide a wine bucket for you!) A great restaurant, definitely worth a visit! read more

Lovely food in a very unpretentious setting. It's mostly veggie comfort food, which is no bad thing at all, and it's all pretty cheap. Plus they have impeccable green credentials, which makes supporting the place a whole lot easier in this age of carbon footprints and melting icecaps. It used to be open at irregular hours, but it seems to have sorted that out now. It's still pretty out of the way, though - make sure you scan the doors closely when you get to the street it's on, as it's pretty easy to miss! read more

If you were to ask me what are my favourite restaurants in Birmingham, this is one of them. You can feel the love that goes in to the food here. Everything is very fresh, well sourced, and tastes delicious! Service is good. Tricky to find, you need to enter Friends of the Earth, then take the stairs to the right of the reception desk. read more

Very flavourful vegetarian food in a relaxed homey atmosphere. My husband and I enjoyed a late Sunday afternoon lunch here one day and had a wonderful experience. He ordered the thai curry and I had the veggie burger. We were both very happy with our meals and plan on returning to try more! read more

Best veggie food we've had in ages and the prices are pretty reasonable. Very handy if you're in the city centre as it's just around the corner from the Moor Street carpark entrance. Friendly atmosphere so I'd definitely go again. read more

Went to an evening function here (actually an anniversary of the Birmingham Vegetarian and Vegan group); it was a buffet and the food was all vegan on that occasion and good quality, with lots of choice. There are wooden tables upstairs (no cloths) so a sort of 'rustic' feel. Friendly people serving. read more

Always really nice food. Not cheap, but they serve you well and have a rustic, homely and friendly atmosphere. Great for light meals and special occasions. read more

As a vegetarian I often get bored of the same old options at a restaurant. There's only so many tomato pasta dishes I can handle so I get excited going to vegetarian and vegan restaurants. I especially like Bistro 1847 and the Warehouse Cafe is a more affordable option. I had three courses and two glasses of the mulled cider (very good). The options on the menu are three per course with some specials. I went for the sweetcorn fritters for my starter and I think that was my favourite course. I then had the cheese dumplings cooked in chocolate liqueur. It would not usually be my choice but I thought I'd give it a go. It was...interesting. The dessert was a 'deconstructed' apple crumble which was nice. It doesn't make me as happy as Bistro 1847 but it makes my bank account happier. I definitely will visit again though read more

This is a right little gem! I'm not a massive veggie fan but I absolutely adore cheese! My friend had the halloumi and chips and I had a burger, we shared and both were THE tastiest veggie food I've ever had! The halloumi was warm and gooey but salty and the burger jam packed with lovely flavours and filling! Everyone was friendly and I'm looking forward to returning for an evening meal. read more

Friendly staff with nice food.. would recommend the mulled apple for the winter. I go here with my sister as she is veggie and we have a good lunch of gossip.. never too busy and food comes quick. Apparently they heat their water with solar power and do their washing up by hand haha! read more

been for a couple of lunches and ordered a catered lunch for my seminar the catering for 50 people was quite strange i know it is wholly veggie but plates and plates of cheese and tomato rolls too many really but my clients didnt comment on this will try and order specifically next time lunch time at the restaurant is fab gorg falafeal and curries and enchiladas and burgers with nice fresh salad brill couldnt fault that part of it its good to know that they are busy ..... read more

A lovely cafe for vegetarians, vegans and people who enjoy a meal without meat every so often! They have a wide range of choices on there menu. It was so hard to choose a meal because I usually only have one or two choices. I went for the halloumi and potato wedges. The halloumi was delicious! The only downside to the meal was the small pot of curry sauce given. I would of quite liked some mushy peas or a bit more of the curry sauce. My sister and boyfriend had the risotto and both enjoyed it! The staff were very friendly and smiley! I can't wait to go there again! read more

Been here a few time, it's ok but the portions are very small for the price.
