Medicine was born out of a discovery of abandoned space, of new possibilities and an inquisitive quality for creating something vital and diverse. An artisan bakery and kitchen, café and gallery, which is rooted in its heritage in both Birmingham and Wolverhampton, Medicine represents a new format of social space. It finds its niche through a carefully curated menu of ethical products, whilst offering a daily fix of cultural inspiration in an environment which promotes a debate about art and culture. Please note bookings are for diners only and there is unfortunately no wheelchair access

    My food was cold. We had tea/cakes after it took ages for the drinks to come although it wasn’t busy. My only bad experience so I will go back, maybe just a bad day!

    We have eaten here a few times and would recommend it all. Everything we have eaten has been freshly prepared and the taste and portion size make it extremely good value for money in our opinion.

    Amazing baked goods. The food was excellent. Unique vibe. The service was unfortunately quite slack and one of us was brought the wrong food. It was taken away but only the wrong item, leaving the correct dish to go cold by the time the other dish was brought over. Then we had to ask twice for the bill.

    Hi Matt, Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. I am sorry the service was not up to scratch, i will be investigating further, to ensure when mistakes happen, they are dealt with quickly and correctly. The team should have picked up any issues on check back. We are always striving to improve and we have continual team training, to keep our standards high. I hope it will not put you off visiting us again and we see you again over the festive season. We wish you a very Merry Christmas. Medicine

    Just lovely food and friendly service. Was very busy so the drinks took a while to come out but it was totally acceptable given how busy it was.

    Service very extremely very slow . I had booked a table for 12pm . we were put at the end of a table that another part of 5 were seated. I would have expected a table for two I booked in advanced.
    Medicine Bakery - New StreetResponded 6 days ago
    Hi Bal, Thank you for taking time to share your feedback. Unfortunately, New Street is a community cafe with many sharing tables, so can not guarantee single tables. Please in future, you could pop a note on your booking and the team will accommodate whenever possible or visit The Mailbox, where the restaurant is set up with individual tables. We hope to see you back in the future. Regards Medicine

    Food was delicious and came out quickly despite it being very busy! Would definitely book in advance, especially on weekends, as there was a bit of a queue. French toast was amazing - would recommend!
