What a place, what a people. I remember when 🦍 first opened and I thought to myself 'Is Brum ready for a Cycle Cafe' the answer? An emphatic YES. The cafe is great, the people are wonderful but here's a particular shout out to the lads in the workshop (yes they have a bike workshop hidden away upstairs). I had a complicated job I needed done and it requires both skill, diligence and focus. Boy did they deliver! So so grateful. A truly great place!
Recently had brunch here and the food was amazing. Really interesting and varied menu, including some great veggie options. The coffees and harissa scrambled eggs were perfect!
Best place to get a coffee in kings heath. Also the bike shop is really helpful. Got mine serviced there and also got it repaired after being hit by a car. They were really helpful with outlining my options and pointed out some things to consider replacing in the more distant future based on my bike's wear and tear.
Very welcomed staff and phenomenal food. I ordered House made pancake
First time we'd been here... Its been open for years and we are local.. We are now asking myself.. 'Why did we leave it so long!!!'. What a lovely place. The staff were friendly and attentive.
Very clean, very busy, lovely atmosphere, all age ranges were in there and fantastic food. The coffees and food we had were soooo nice.
Thank you... looking forward to returning... quite a few times....
After a number of years I came back to the Gorilla coffee cafe and the food was as good as I'd remembered. I came in last week with a friend and came back on my own today and I had the same gorilla breakfast which was awesome, even down to the mushroom which was very tasty. The meat loaf bacon wrap thing was fantastic, never had this before. I had a hot chocolate last week and it was better than any of the place I've been too. Staff were very friendly, attentive, polite and helpful. Thank you from my friend and myself. We will be back.
Had the gorilla breakfast.. Was huge plate of food! 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausages, 2 eggs, fresh tomato, baked beans in a ramikan, spinach and mushrooms. DELICIOUS 😋! Great coffee. All served with a smile, in a clean cafe, which has a (road?) racing bike fixed on the wall. There is a quotation by Eddie Mercx, painted on the wall. Rack to park your bike.... And you can sit outside. Highly recommended. January 2023...it's just as it is described above. I had the gorilla breakfast again and it was DELICIOUS 😋. May 2023. Just as good last time!
Lovely little spot off the high street with outdoor seating, very friendly staff, perfect coffee and nice food. will definitely be back
Constant Disappointment

the food's so good omg, we were just looking for a basic caf for breakfast, wasn't expecting this. lots of vegan stuff, it's that sort of place, but the meatloaf was amazing. even the tomatoes were tasty af. friendly staff. proper brewed coffee and tea. nice sitting outside in the sun.
This is Bedder's Fish and Chips, Mad O' Rouke's Pie and Mash, Duran Duran, Ozzy and Toni are just some of the great Midlands collaborations. Well, throw in cycles and coffee at Gorilla Coffee Cafe! This brummie institution is a beautiful, bright spacious cafe that is finely tuned for the the road cyclist. If it's the start of your cycling adventure or you've got a thirst on after a heavy day in the saddle, get over here. The staff are lovely, the coffee is great, they even serve local ales. Just find a pew amongst the abundance of seats and rest your weary lycra.
