Ju Ju's Cafe Birmingham - Birmingham

D874

The atmosphere in this café is truly delightful. From the moment we walked in, the two ladies, who I believe are the owners, were incredibly warm and welcoming. Their friendliness and the cozy ambiance they’ve created really set this café apart from the more mainstream spots in Birmingham—it feels like a home away from home.

The coffee and Eggs Benedict were absolutely delicious, and I’m excited to try more from their menu. A charming touch is their well-behaved dog, who politely sits on a chair, greeting every customer as they arrive.

The outdoor seating area is a great addition, with umbrellas for shade and blankets available if it gets chilly. They have a lovely view of the canals. Overall, it’s a wonderfully inviting place that I’ll definitely visit again and happily recommend to everyone I know.

Whatever the event Ju Ju’s can pretty much look after you.

Revisit for one of their Sunday roasts.
I was looking forward to it for 3 days. When I sat down they let me know about the specials that day. Boy, I had a massive decision to make. I went with the roast. I've always told people their style of cooking is like getting a hug.

It's like sitting in a living room and surrounded by loved ones. Past and present.

The food was spectacular and we were almost crying tears of joy and humming with every bit of our roasts! ❤️

The thing that makes this place special however is the service and staff. Ju and Lynne made us feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment we stepped in. We felt like we belonged and really enjoyed all that this place offered. You can tell this place was made out of love for food and people! Defo coming back with the friends!

Had a wonderful late breakfast served by Julie herself! A lovely lady serving great food along the canal. We had the Croque Madame and split it, at her suggestion. It's a very generous portion, nice ham, and 2 eggs on top. Her scones looked good, but sadly had no room to try them! So we will definitely be back! Attentive staff and a relaxed conversation with Julie. Fun art and whimsical signs in the two room inside seating. Highly recommend it!

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with my recent visit to your restaurant on Sunday. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I had an extremely disappointing experience that will ensure we never return.

Given your location close to our home, we decided to try Juju Cafe, but this proved to be a significant mistake. After waiting 10 minutes without any service, I had to approach a waiter myself to place an order. The waiter informed me that service was slow due to being short-staffed, despite there being only 5 or 6 other occupied tables at the time. Eventually, we were able to place our order, with the waitress indicating a 30-minute wait, which is acceptable during busy times, though it was notably quiet.

My girlfriend, who is diabetic, injected her insulin after 20 minutes, expecting our food to arrive soon. However, we ended up waiting over 50 minutes. During this time, her blood sugar dropped, and we struggled to communicate our urgent need for juice to the staff, highlighting a serious lack of health and safety training.

When the food finally arrived nearly an hour later, it was not worth the wait. The dishes were shockingly poor in quality and value. One piece of cauliflower with cheese for £5.50, prawn on toast with only three small prawns for £9, and vegetables that appeared to be days old were simply unacceptable. The roast dinner served in a soup plate for nearly £20 was laughable, and the £3.50 charge for a small pot of gravy was outrageous. The total bill came to £68.50 for what was one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had.

To add insult to injury, a service charge was automatically added, despite the fact that I had to actively seek service for ordering, juice, and paying the bill. The service provided was minimal and far from timely.

Overall, Juju Cafe seems more focused on maximizing income than providing a worthwhile dining experience. The food quality, presentation, and pricing were highly disappointing. I hope you address these issues to prevent other customers from having similar experiences.

Amazing place, we liked the decoration, the view on the canal and the staff was very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. We will come back if we visit Birmingham again 🙂

We went on a warm evening and sat outdoors. We loved the location in a small square with canal views. The food was delicious and served by friendly staff. We shared cheese boards for starters with a gorgeous home-made chutney. Some of us had belly pork, others had the prawn in garlic sauce (a starter) with chunky chips as their main. Two of us shared a gigantic meringue dish with cream, fruit and a balsamic glaze - yummy! Would definitely recommend.

Had a late morning breakfast here on Friday. I like their veggie options and I highly recommend it. The customer service is superb. Thanks for a great experience.
