Well guys, it’s that time of year again when there’s a great excuse for eating lots of chocolate!!
We’re going to be closed on Sunday 4th April, and our opening hours on Monday 5th will be 10am-5pm. However, there’s still plenty of time for you to come in and munch on some of our easter goodies, from our Easter Chocolate Loaf Cake to our Bunny Muffins!!
Have a great Easter everyone!

Well we had our alcohol launch on Wednesday, and i’m sure you’ll all be pleased to know that it went very well!!
Those of you who came, i’m sure, were happy with your goody bags that included a bag of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee (from our wonderful coffee suppliers ‘Absolute Coffee’), and a couple of vouchers to use in store at Urban Coffee Company. We also went round with lovely mini cupcakes from the ladies at ‘Kiss Me Cupcakes’ and samples of the ‘Purity Ale’ ‘Mad Goose’ and ‘UBU’ (whom to both companies we are extremely grateful for).
The night was a great success and we hope that slowly but surely, everyone will get used to the idea of having a great cup of coffee with a cupcake, followed by a beer to send you off into the night!

We like to try new things here at Urban Coffee Company but this time I think this may have gone a little too far!
Jamie one of our Urbanistas, wanted to participate with today’s celebrations in the Colmore Row Business District. We have seen the Guiness flowing at both Bar Utopia and Hotel Du Vin so what were his thoughts? Yes you’ve guessed it……green coffee!
Do not worry we haven’t let him anywhere near your lovely coffees with the green food dye but we had to let him have his fun on his own!

I am nearly at the end of the next book club book which is ‘What was Lost by Catherine O’Flynn’. An easier read than the previous choices but I just haven’t had the time to read it in a couple of sittings.
The next book club is on Thursday 25th March at 6pm. We meet upstairs at Urban Coffee Company, enjoy a coffee and have an enjoyable chat about our chosen book. Come along if you fancy doing something new on a Thursday!

The keen eyed amongst you will have noticed that we have had some great Art on the walls of Urban Coffee since opening. The art was created by the very talanted, Erdington based artist called Artskki.
Artskki specialises in oil on canvas with a particular flair for painting local buildings. All the paintings in Urban Coffee are for sale via Artskki’s website so if you see something you like snap it up.

You could be forgiven for thinking Flat White is a new coffee drink that’s only just arrived on our shores. Well it’s not! It originates from Australia and New Zealand and has been around for years. Urban Coffee has been serving it from day 1 and all Urbanistas are trained to make them.
So why have the high street chains suddenly introduced it to their menu? Well Starbucks introduced it in December 2009 & Costa in January 2010. Now I don’t think that is a coincidence, I would suggest that Costa planned their launch first and Starbucks got wind of it and beat them to it. But why introduce it at all? Well the cynic in me would suggest that they are now realising that there is not much difference between the high street coffee chains and they needed something to differentiate them from each other. But the two chains, by both introducing the Flat White, have cancelled out any differentiation so the status quo remains.
Our approach is to have a superb product with superb service-that’s how we roll at Urban Coffee!
@stef well we do have giant bean bags from @bean2bed...!!! hope you enjoyed either way and have a good evening!
