Rustics Cafe

"I had a such a lovely experience at this charming cafe today!! On entering I was instantly lifted by the Rustic quirky creative interior and the smooth vibes playing! The owner a local lady was delightful as of all the staff and we were made so welcome. That’s just for starters!! The brunch.. After feasting our eyes on the fantastic menu that considers all pallets we were greeted by the enthusiastic Chef who invited us to try her legend eggs Benedict.. We went for the smoked salmon & avocado and it was beautiful! We then had Coffees which were an experience in themselves as they tasted so good! So if you’re after a cuddle in a coffee, a luxurious brunch or lunch at very affordable prices.. I can highly recommend!!"

"First time in there. Lovely clean interior. The Food was great and staff friendly. If in area again I would definitely go back."

"Came across this gem of a cafe last Friday. I'd missed the train from Spring Road and the next one was delayed. I wanted a coffee and saw Rustics and was initially impressed by the exterior. The interior was equally impressive. The decor and layout is stylish, relaxing and all very welcoming. The young girl that served me was excellent as was the Coffee and the English breakfast which I decided to have. Will definitely go back. Can't recommend enough."

"A deep and meaningful coffee. Google Maps, thank you for shining your satellite on The Rustic Cafe, when I was checking out nearby cafes. It's been ages since I visited Acocks Green. I have rose tinted memories of the area, especially Acocks Green Bowl that I used to frequent as a teenager. Back in the 90's a game of bowling was £1! good times. I digress. As I walked through the tail end of Storm Eunice, I impressed upon The Rustic Café. The beauty of its exterior was like a warm glow. I entered and the warmth was upped a notch thanks to the welcoming staff. I took a look around to appreciate the interior, a clash of colourful, lacquered, rustic tables hit by ceiling strung, modern jarred lighting. It's a cosy place. I took a look over the shoulder of the staff to see a La Cimbali espresso machine... A lovely piece of espresso technology. I explicitly requested their finest flat white with latte art. The staff responded with "I'll try my best". A response I love to hear. I don't care how much barista training you've had, if you put effort into latte art it indicates to me that you care about coffee. The coffee isn't artisanal, but it was a thing of beauty thanks to the colourful ergonomic mug. I began chatting to the staff member. It wasn't small talk, it was a chat about life that delved into human vulnerability. I learnt a lot as a consequence. And I wonder why I love popping into coffee shops. I will have to return. The staff are soon to have barista training. I can't wait to see what latte art they have mastered."

"Stumbled across this gem of a place. The cafe itself is set out beautifully and as for the food....exceptional value for money without any compromise on flavour, great choice of food and coffee was really good. Staff warm and friendly... All you could want from a local cafe and much more. Go seek them out....."
