boston tea party has to be one of the best tea/coffee shops in birmingham. originally started in bristol the brand has spread across the south west with birmingham being one of the first of it's cafes outside of this region. they are a family owned company who realise that "being bigger is not always better & we want to remain a cafe to be discovered, recommended & returned to".
the birmingham cafe can be found at the very top of corporation street, which can be a bit of a walk to get to but is well worth the time of foot. it's also round the corner from eastside city park so is a great place to pop into beforehand. offering, in my opinion, one of the best cooked breakfasts in birmingham (the west country breakfast) which is available all day for a great price of just £6.95. it also has a fantastic cake selection freshly baked on site which my housemate, a keen baker, loves and recommends.
the drink offering is as you would expect up to scratch too offering a wide range of fantastic loose leaf teas in individual teapots with strainers as a nice touch. don't be fooled however, they do offer coffee, soft drinks and even beers and ales.
