An independent coffee shop in Birmingham has moved to a new home in the heart of the business district.
The Coffee Bar has opened in 4 Temple Row, having relocated from the Oasis Markets in Corporation Street.
The café is run by Al Mehmet who returned to Birmingham from London to follow his passion for coffee after working for Microsoft for four years.
His ambition is to grow a thriving, sustainable coffee community, connecting like-minded people with workspaces, workshops and eventually cocktails.
