Head here straight from the train - Edit
This is one of those carnist places where the vegan options are so good that it feels like there’s hope they’ll fully switch one day?? I took ages to choose what I wanted because there was loads that could be veganised, and unless I misunderstood the menu, the club sandwich I settled on was just vegan by default. I also got a milkshake which was exactly the right flavour/consistency and the staff couldn’t have been nicer considering how busy they were! Highly recommend

Amazing vegan brunch! - Edit
Wow, so good! We adored all the food at Cherry Red's! We had the hearty vegan breakfast, the vegan breakfast burrito, and the strawberry vegan pancakes - all epic!

Visiting Birmingham properly for the first time, and found this place. Can’t recommend it enough! Amazing menu options, from fake meats to pancakes, cakes, fry-ups, you name it! And so many great drinks on offer too. Lovely vibe, lovely staff, will definitely be going back! 💕

Absolutely STUNNING vegan brekkie - Edit
Menu had quite a lot of options but I went for the hearty vegan and an iced oat milk latte which was so so good! You can tell the vegan options aren’t an after thought as this came with toast, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash brown, spinach, tofu scramble, sausages AND vegan black pudding! I am definitely sorted for the day 😂

Vegan Treats in the City Centre - Edit
Lovely independent cafe at the heart of the city. Seems to be a community hub. I had delicious banana and caramel cake and a coffee after a long walk.

Vegan English Breakfast!!! - Edit
I am so happy to find a vegan English breakfast. Everything tasted great, especially the tofu scramble and the veggies. Staff were careful with answering my questions about other items and doublechecked when needed, which is always comforting to me. This is a very cool spot - lots of room upstairs if downstairs gets too crowded, which it was when I went around 10am on a Saturday.

Our food arrived quickly and there was plenty of it. The toast was really nice and a generous portion. Always good to get spinach in a vegan breakfast.

All-day allstar! - Edit
I went three times in my week in Birmingham: once for pancakes, once for a big breakfast, and once at night where everyone else got drinks and I got carrot cake 😅 Each time was great, would recommend!

One of the best breakfasts in Birmingham - Edit
This place has everything you could want in a breakfast! Sweet and savoury options and you can build your own plate. The tofu scramble is fantastic on the pancakes which are enormous. There are vegan cakes (yes, plural) and the lunch options look fantastic as well. It’s right by the train station as well for convenience.

Nice place - Edit
Came here on a recent trip to Birmingham before a conference. We came just after opening in the morning and it was very busy, which meant everything took a long time to be ready and I ended up having to eat my breakfast wrap while leaving the place. It was okay but definitely not the nicest breakfast wrap I have had. Loved the place itself and the vibe. Some staff members were friendlier than others 😬

Old favourite - Edit
Always enjoyed a stop at Cherry Reds. If you’re in the mood for a coffee pit stop and perhaps a slice of cake, they’ve got you. Equally, want a hearty breakfast or lunch, the food is top notch.

Great for vegans in Birmingham - Edit
Great options and great prices. Didn’t really like the bacon pieces but the rest was very nice. Loads of kids options for cheap too e.g. fishless fingers. Does vegan pancakes and milkshakes too. Staple option for birmingham vegans.

Our 'go to' place in Birmingham for brunch. The hearty vegan breakfast is huge and offers a greater variety on the plate than other establishments.
