Since it was opened in 2009, Urban set the mark for the coffee culture in Birmingham. Located on Church Street, it’s one of the most popular coffee shop venues in Birmingham and opens seven days a week. It’s popular with everybody from the office workers having morning meetings to freelances quietly working away, or groups of friends meeting for a coffee and a catch-up. It has two floors that have become a thriving community hub over time, providing a perfect snapshot of the diversity and culture in Birmingham. We believe we create the best coffee this side of the moon. we do this by focusing on using the best equipment, the highest quality beans, a roasting partner with knowledge & instinct and lastly and we think most importantly – highly trained Urbanistas.
Urban is a long time partner of Origin, a small batch roaster based in Cornwall. Powered by the perfect blend of passion, precision, curiosity and caffeine, the Origin Roastery is where knowledge and instinct unite. Origin buys directly from farmers, supporting farm and mill partners directly, which gives Urban’s customers full traceability of the coffee in their cup. They pay at least 50% over and above Fairtrade prices, without exception. They visit the farmers or mill representatives at least once a year – in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia & Brazil. They like us are committed to environmentally and socially sustainable practices.
