This great store is a great addition to Birmingham's shopping complex…read more These people know their food, know what they're talking about and are very positive. They sell fine food and wine. I tried the special sun dried tomatoes, and they were lovely!! They offer a great selection and plethora of other delights such as Bacon jam!, and many other special food items that you can't buy in most shops, other than this specialist. Hampers are also available in the old fashion type cases, together with flours and pastas sourced worldwide. The items available will make your Christmas that extra bit special, or for that extra special occasion! This is not just any retailer, this is Anderson and Hill retailer!!

Superb sandwiches. A bit more expensive than some competitors in the vicinity but the sandwiches…read morehere are in a different class. The quality of the meats and cheeses is top drawer. Although all of the sandwiches are made fresh they are now knocking up a batch for the lunchtime rush which has sped up the service considerably. I'll be back very soon...

A lovely little specialist shop of the kind that you only seem to really be able to find in smaller…read moretowns. This is filled with cheeses from all round the world, with lots of local specialities as well as more exotic types. The cheeses are often of the whiffy variety but are really something to be tried. They often have samples out and the sales assistants are very helpful and willing to advise you. Some of the varieties are on the expensive side but there are things for smaller budgets as well.

The woman here seems to have an issue with non-white customers. She was really annoyed to have us…read morethere and extremely unhelpful. Intentionally misunderstood us and couldn't seem to answer any questions about the cheese she sells. It left us wondering if she was ignorant to her own business or just racist. It would seem we aren't the only ones with this experience sadly. Perhaps avoid this spot if you prefer professionals with manners.

She was not…read morevery helpful and when we asked her for recommendations she seemed rather annoyed to have to help. Was sad because looked like a very lovely shop. We still bought cheese but thought i should make a note of the service.

I love this deli it sells so many fantastic food producs, even sells freshly made baguettes and…read morehome made cakes. The meats counter is great with a good selection, they sell so many different sauces, jams, herbs etc etc. I could spend hours just wondering around and looking at everything. Not exactly cheap but most things you would struggle to find in mainstream supermarkets so worth paying the price.

Walking between charity shops in this fine city, I spotted a small arcade that I'd not seen before…read more My reward for being super-aware this time round was to find that there's an independent cheese shop nestled in there. They've actually got Snowdonia Cheese Company Amber Mist! Whenever SCC cheeses are sold there's usually plenty of their Black Bomber, but I find Amber Mist is quite hard to get hold of. It's the best Whisky cheese, in my opinion. (And that's including anything available at Farmer's Markets in Scotland...) So I'm having a truckle of that, and I'm committed to being disciplined enough to save it for Christmas. What else? After I've had short rave, the owner can see that I'm quite keen on the yellow stuff, so she offers me a sample of Harlech. Just when you think you've tasted and seen all the cheese in Europe, there are still surprises left. This is cheddar with horseradish and parsley. Cheese AND condiment. My two favourite foods in one make me buy a few hundred grams of this. It's going to be perfect on top of a veggie pattie to make a piquant burger. Next up is Worcerster Hop. I've had Hereford Hop before, so I'll trust that Elgar County's version is similarly tasty. Always a good match for a US India Pale Ale. The last two didn't last long, though the Amber Mist is sat in a scared space in the fridge. I'll be back at Cheese to Please to stock up for Christmas. Independent with a charming owner, here you'll find tasty delights beyond the usual supermarket fare. Discover a world beyond Wensleydale and Cranberry this Christmas. (Though they had that in too when I went.)

You can't go wrong with great cheese. Ask if you don't know staff are great…read more The guys here stock a wide variety of cheese, crackers, chutney and many other little bits and pieces. If there is something that takes your fancy or you just need a hand choosing your latest and greatest cheese board. It's not the biggest shop in the world but sometimes good things come in small packages. Prices are middle of the road to high but you get what you pay for. It's always nice to get some good cheese and this is a great place to fulfil that need.

The proprieter was exceptionally knowledgable and was kind to cut me for relatively small pieces with which to make a lunch. The cardo, a washed rind goat cheese, was particularly amazing.

Needing some lunch to share with colleagues recently we visited and picked up some wonderful food. The best thing we tried was definitely the salad boxes loaded with plenty of delicious cheese and cold meats for around £4 each. They have a very good selection of takeaway food. They stock lots of Italian style preserves, dry foods and olive oils. We also enjoyed some of their Italian biscuits and they stock lots of after dinner goodies. They serve excellent coffee, to stay or go. The staff were very friendly, patient and helpful as we made our choices. If you are looking for something special as a gift or a nice treat for lunch this place is perfect.

This new Italian Deli coffee shop is refreshingly excellent…read more Very friendly Italian's so absolutely authentic. The quality of service and food is extremely good.

You can eat in or takeaway both options being a wonderful experience of superior eating, tucked away in High street Sutton Coldfield Birmingham . You must try this!!!!! Many regards Dennsi

When my mum last came to visit me in Birmingham, we stumbled across the Little Tea Shop and tempted…read moreby the name, we went in. The shop itself was small but the decorated tastefully. On offer were your normal hot and cold drink selections, alongside what looked like homemade cakes. As we went in on a Tuesday afternoon, we were able to get a table so we sat down and enjoyed a slice of chocolate cake and a couple of hot chocolates. It was a pleasent experience and a great stop off point before getting a train.

It's often hard to find a nice independent, intimate place to grab a meal in a large city centre,…read moreso coming across The Little Tea Shop, a short walk away from New Street Train station was an extremely pleasant surprise. As the name suggests, this eatery is small and friendly and on top of that serves up some great quality grub! You can get yourself a delicious handmade sandwich or opt for the more traditional option of a good old fry up. Obviously being a small business, seating is at a premium so it can be difficult to eat in on a busy day, but if that's the case then simply grab a sandwich to take away and eat in the fresh air, although on a typical Birmingham day this can present its own problems due to our less than favourable weather most of the year round.
