The Early Bird Bakery
Independent bakery and speciality coffee shop with daily-baked pastries, cakes and creative brunch.
The Early Bird Bakery
The Early Bird Bakery is a beloved independent café on Kings Heath High Street, run by three passionate food enthusiasts with over fifteen years of industry experience. All pastries, cakes and savouries are baked fresh daily in-house using high-quality ingredients, with many sourced locally. The speciality coffee is supplied by independent local roaster Hundred House Coffee.
The small space operates with characteristic chaotic energy, often with queues out the door during weekends, so arriving early is essential. Despite the crowds, staff remain attentive and accommodating. The menu rotates seasonally, offering creative and unusual cakes alongside savoury options like mushroom toasties and chorizo breakfast dishes. Signature items include pistachio croissants, cruffins, seasonal creations, and the Lemon Baked Cheesecake. The kitchen operates 9am to 2:45pm daily, so come for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon cake and coffee.
Vegan, gluten-free and nut-free options are available, and they also offer bespoke cakes for events through their catering service.

The manager was so kind when we went as I hadnt realised I'd made my reservation for the day after my visit not the day of, but he managed to find a space to squeeze us in! Our waitress Michi was also lovely, attentive enough to quickly come over when we needed without it feeling like we were being hovered over. Can't wait to come back again!

Visited here last Sunday morning with my partner after getting recommendations from friends. Our brunch definitely lived up to what we’d been told. Service was friendly and we were glad to get a table immediately rather than have to wait around. We had a special and the cowboys breakfast and both were fantastic - easily able for money and super tasty! I particularly enjoyed the hash and belly pork in the breakfast. Also had some o the desserts which were very nice to boot. Would highly recommend and we’ll certainly be coming back.

Been here a couple times as I think these are some of the best pastries in the area in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere, I like that they always change their menu and whilst always having the classics there is always something new to try! (Including some interesting drinks!) I’ve had the pistachio croissant and sticky toffee pudding supreme during my visits. But I fear I need to try everything else!! Not tried the brunch menu yet as it does look a little pricey, but I’m sure this reflects their quality as others have said

The food is amazing. Prices are a little high but overall I think the quality is very good so it feels worth it. The coffee is beautiful and the staff are lovely. I found the French toast too sweet with the syrup so an option of outing the syrup would have been better but otherwise I’ve always loved the food and will keep coming back. Highly recommend. It does get busy so be prepared to wait for a table.
