The Best Baguette

Excellent friendly service and tasty food. Highly recommended for a full English breakfast or a breakfast sandwich.

I recently started working part-​time in Digbeth and have been using Unilocal to find some of the less obvious eating places around the Custard Factory.
Best Baguette might have the slight appearance of a greasy-​spoon type of place, but the range of fillings for your baguette (or bap!) are plentiful and tasty, and somewhat simpler than some of nearby places. Fillings are more of the «cheese, ham, coronation chicken…» variety rather than goats cheese with three kinds of lettuce and fancy chutney. But sometimes that’s exactly what you want, and this place does it very competently.
I’ve only had takeaway from here so I can’t talk about the eating-​in experience, but they make the food up to order quite quickly and wrap it very well; no mayo-​dampened paper bags here. Also the prices feel appropriate. I’m not sure that it is the *best* baguette, but it’s definitely worth your time.
After reading other reviews on here I am resolved to come here earlier to try the £1 bacon rolls too.

This café went through many incarnations in quite a short period of time but Best Baguette seems to be the one that stuck and that alone told me it knew what it was doing.
Offering a nice cheaper alternative to Yumm (the other sandwich shop/​café in the very near vicinity) Best Baguette gives you the more standard fillings, cheese, tuna etc. as opposed to salmon crisis with a goats cheese flake… you know what I mean! Nonetheless, anything I have had from there has always been nice and tasty.
Nice friendly staff and best of all it’s open at the weekend, even Sundays! This might not sound like a real bonus, but as most of the trade in this neighborhood caters to the offices and factories finding a snack bar on a Sunday can be quite the oasis in the desert if you are staggering back from a very late Saturday night!

Not far from my Custard Factory office, this place is convenient for me and my colleagues because it means we don’t always have to walk into town to buy some lunch. Plus, if we are looking for something a bit cheaper then we can go there. We do have places like Yumm Café but sometimes I can’t always afford Yumm unfortunately.
So, the Best Baguette offers fantastic baguettes for a really great price and they taste good as well. They have various fillings and also do tea & coffee if you fancy one, plus quality English breakfast; which is always handy especially when you haven’t eaten in the morning.
I’ve not had the breakfast before but I have heard it’s splendid but I have had their baguettes a few times and enjoyed them. The staff a very friendly and always have a smile on their face which feels welcoming.

It sounds a bit daft but sometimes I wonder why it can be really difficult to find a place to have some Breakfast on Sunday mornings here! In Brazil we have the «bakery» culture and we usually get some fresh bread first thing in the morning, every single day of the week.
Anyway, it is not a problem at all if you are around Digbeth High street and visit The Best Baguette.
This independent Café is a paradise for those who fancy more than a very simple meal for a good price. And it is open on Sundays, from 9am to 2 pm, which is more important!
The Best Baguette counts on a friendly and helpful staff! This Café is a hot spot for tourists, bands, artists and public that frequent Digbeth! You can leave your event flyer in the place, read a newspaper or even just chill out for a while there.
They don’t have free Wi-​Fi but who cares about it when you can have a really nice chit chat during your meal. Talking about food, I particularly like the tuna baguette. Only £2.40 for a quality one! But my husband always goes for the full English and it worth every penny according to him!
