Where to get Vegetarian and Vegan Brunch in Birmingham
Stalwarts like Juju’s and Yorks Cafe have long cemented their status among locals and with newcomers cropping up everywhere from Digbeth to the Jewellery Quarter, the city is keeping the plant-based flame alive: read on to see the definitive guide to veggie and vegan Brunching in Birmingham.
Lost and Found Birmingham
Housed inside a Grade II-listed building, Lost & Found's botanical theme is inspired by the adventurer Hettie G. Watson - as you can imagine, they make the most of those leafy greens in their Breakfast and Brunch offerings too. On weekends you can enjoy a Brunch plate and unlimited mimosas, bellinis, prosecco or Bloody Mary for £25, so we'd advise lining your stomach with a wholesome bowl of butternut squash & chilli hash.

Good things await inside Yorks Café: they brew their own coffee from a roaster in the back of the shop (which you’re welcome to have a gander at), the rustic décor and split-level venue make it perfect for wiling away a few hours and best of all they have ample veggie and vegan options. The smoked cannellini beans on toast are a great place to start, plus Greek tahini eggs topped with feta and pomegranate salsa.

The Button Factory
The Button Factory is the ideal sanctuary after a long working week, lined as it is with old-school pub sofas and an industrial-chic aesthetic (plus an optimistic outdoor terrace for sunny months). Every Saturday, help yourself to two courses of Brunch for £30 or upgrade to 3 courses for an extra fiver, which includes unlimited bellinis and prosecco. We love the hummus and dukkah flatbread to start, followed by sweet potato salad, avo smash or a Middle Eastern-inspired shakshuka.

Damascena
Brunching at Damascena is like dining in the Middle East. If you're unfamiliar with Syrian cuisine, chances are that you'll be starting your day with something completely new. From delightfully crispy falafel enveloped in soft flatbread and smothered in a rich Tahini dressing to mezze platters featuring salads, labnah, zaatar and more, there’s no shortage of meat-free joy to be had here. Many of the non-vegan dishes can be adapted to suit your diet too.

Three tiers of mouth-watering, entirely vegetarian small plates - arancini, sushi, Korean samosas, halloumi wraps and much more - are served alongside a range of martinis (we love the blood orange & vanilla).

Juju’s stunning canalside venue provides an idyllic backdrop to your weekend Brunch, perfect for al fresco dining or cosying up by the windows inside. Stock up on a veggie hash (which comes with crushed potato, cheddar and mushrooms and is slathered in hollandaise) or opt for lighter bites like Eggs Florentine and avocado toast.
