The Courtyard
Industrial-chic taproom and cafe hybrid, porridge by day, craft beer by night.
About
Porridge with seasonal toppings by day becomes craft beer and cask ales by night in a converted industrial courtyard.
The Courtyard is a stylish cafe and taproom from the team behind Morridge, Birmingham’s beloved speciality coffee roastery. By day it’s a cosy breakfast and brunch spot serving signature porridge with seasonal toppings, fresh pastries and toasties alongside excellent flat whites. The space itself-set in a converted industrial courtyard with high ceilings, exposed brick and steel girders-shifts into a relaxed bar come afternoon, with cask ales from Church End, craft beers from local breweries Attic and Birmingham Brewing, plus wine and cocktails. It’s a genuinely community-focused place: monthly quizzes, yoga classes, dog-friendly with treats on the bar. Card payments only.

Read all 5Such a lovely space, a real gem within Harborne! I’ve been here a few times now and whether I’m popping in for a relaxed Sunday morning brunch or for drink in the evening, it’s always a pleasure. Prices can be a little steep sometimes but for the most part I think this is justified by how nice the space is. Most recently came for the jazz night and would highly recommend :)
As someone who can't support local/ independent businesses enough, I remember when Morridge was just a bike trailer in the Great Western Arcade in 2018, so to see them open a second branch really warms my heart. Both Morridge and The Courtyard have such a friendly, calm atmosphere and just feel like home, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, the decor is so cosy and comfortable, and the food options are always so filling and delicious. I'm so happy they do yoga classes and have a run club as well, I only wish the yoga was more than once a month! I recommend Morridge porridge to so many people so often - we all need more colourful wholesome food and chill vibes in our lives ❤️

I recently visited this café and had a great experience. The place is spacious, cozy, and has a unique interior that really adds to the atmosphere. It's definitely a comfortable spot to hang out and have long conversations. I ordered an iced latte and a slice of chocolate cake. The iced latte was delicious — smooth and well-balanced. The cake was a bit too sweet for my personal taste, but that’s just a matter of preference. Overall, the food and drinks are quite affordable, which makes the experience even better. This café is definitely a great spot to relax and catch up with friends. Highly recommended!
A fantastic local venue! High quality coffee served and fantastically cozy interior! The brand new back garden is very peaceful and perfect to sit out on a warmer/sunnier day. Good selection of beers on the tap! The staff is very welcoming and friendly! Definitely a go to place in Harborne!
Came for lunch on a week day and had the kimcheese toasties which was delicious. Also had a very good oat flat white and biscoff cake. There was such a nice chilled vibe, it felt tucked away from the world. Would like to come back on an evening for drinks.
