Sunshine Cafe

You can’t beat a good, old fashioned café, can you? Whilst it is popular these days to spend the best part of the price of a pint on a large coffee in a chain store, or else pay £12 for an organic fried breakfast in a Guardian-​approved urban café, the fact that the traditional greasy spoon survives is testament to our more basic urges. The other thing about cafes is that no-​one makes tea quite like these places. The Tea-​Urn cup of tea in a café is 2^nd only to the cup of tea you make at home after a rubbish day in the «Lovely Cup of Tea» stakes. Sunshine Café is one such place, and long may it continue to serve fry-​ups and tea to the folks of South Brum.

I find Kings Heath a bit of a strange place at the best of times but this café appears to be a slice of calm amongst the madness!
The café itself was small but the decorated tastefully. On offer were your normal hot and cold food choices, alongside your average drinks, crisps and chocolate bars.
As I went in just before the lunchtime rush, I was able to get a table so I sat down and enjoyed a tuna baguette and a cup of coffee.
The café was quiet and enabled me to relax for 45 minutes before going back to work.

A great little café for a nice strong brew! Popped in here last week and I thought it was pretty simplistic from the outside, but I really loved the name and so decided to give it a try. Inside is also quite simple, but it is just a little café and so I was not expecting it to be all fancy and sparkly. I ordered a cup of tea and the staff seemed quite pleasant, if not more concerned with their own conversations between each other. This did not really bother me too much as I just wanted a quiet cuppa anyway. The cuppa itself was just what I needed. Normally I am quite fussy with tea as I find that rarely any places can do a nice one, but this place made a good brew! It was cheap too. A standard café, worth a visit if you fancy a cuppa.
