Quick info
About Saint Kitchen - JQ
Saint Kitchen - JQ is a coffee shop on Unit 2 in Birmingham, run as a family-owned daytime spot for espresso, cafe meals and brunch. Pancakes appear regularly on the menu, served with toppings such as custard buttercream, peanut butter fudge, candied peanuts and salted caramel, or with maple. The rest of the menu is largely sandwich-based, with the chicken katsu sando a recurring lunch option, and smashed avocado on toast often served with a side of bacon. Hash browns are a recommended item, and gluten-free options are prepared in a separate part of the kitchen so the full menu can be made gluten free. The menu changes regularly, so not every dish is guaranteed on a given visit. Seating looks out over the square, and it operates on a walk-in basis. Coffee and bread are also sold to take home.

Customer Review Summary
Hash browns draw the most mentions, called "magical" and "rather bougie", with one reviewer urging others to order them alongside the strawberry matcha. Pancakes come close behind, from maple to a version with custard buttercream, peanut butter fudge and salted caramel. The avocado on toast, Turkish eggs and chicken katsu sando are also named. Coffee is praised repeatedly, including dense, well-judged milk foam without bitterness, along with a dark and milk chocolate mocha and homemade chai. Reviewers also point to gluten free options prepared in a separate part of the kitchen, a setting that is not too loud for a catch up, and an outlook over the square. Staff are described again and again as friendly. The criticisms are small. The changing menu means a loved dish can disappear, and one reviewer wishes for a full English breakfast with beans and sausage. One parent recalls staff holding an order and making it once a late child arrived.

“Kudos to SK for opening early for the half marathon. We weren’t participating but we were leaving early for Gloucester and so getting in at 10am for a good brunch was perfect. We came here the day before for just toast and coffee but did a proper breakfast on Sunday. Lovely people, great service and really good food.”

“Came for lunch for the first time yesterday, and had a great experience. Staff were very friendly and upbeat. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, both my partner and I had the chicken katsu sando. Will definitely come back again in future!”
