If beer is your thing, then Attic could be a good destination for you. It will mean a cab to Stirchley, but a fun bustling place, particularly good for larger groups as it's got large tables.

This is one of my favourite and regular cafes. Whilst not in Moseley, caneat is worth the effort of driving or walking to Stirchley for an unusual brunch. There’s a a lovely garden out back for sunny days and they also do dinner Thur - Sat - probably won’t the booking for that. Menus online at caneat.co.U.K.

Very casual restaurant with amazing food in Moseley Village. Cheap and cheerful - there no need to dress up, just be ready to enjoy home cooked authentic Korean food. Eat in rather than takeaway is my advice. They have a branch in Selly Oak but I don’t think it’s nearly as good.

Amazing brunch option if you can get a seat. And fabulous indulgent cakes which can be taken-away. Often queues at weekend. But really worth a visit. Closed Mondays.
