Vegan Breakfast in Birmingham – 12 Places All Vegans Should Try!

Last updated on December 9th, 2023

Finding a decent vegan breakfast in Birmingham isn’t a challenging task at all. And this makes me very happy indeed!

It’s an exciting time to be alive with all the vegan choices and it’s only going to keep growing. So, if finding a vegan breakfast in Birmingham is such an easy job, why would you be checking out this post? 

I reckon there could be two main reasons.

• 1 – You’re new to this whole vegan thing and are after any support you can get, and if so, amazing, I’m here for you! Or
• 2 – You’re like me and get a bit stuck in a rut and keep going to the same places but today’s the day you want to mix it up. 

I found I was getting bored going to the same few places that I’m familiar with, and I wanted to remind myself of all the wonderful options Birmingham has to offer. So, I set off on a hunt to find the best places for vegan breakfast in Birmingham.

• Menu: Medicine Bakery New Street Menu

There are two of these in Birmingham City Centre. One is on New Street and the other is in the Mailbox. And they certainly have different vibes about them. The one on New Street is big, bright and beautiful but quite casual with a relaxed boho feel about it. Whereas the one in the Mailbox has a more upscale feel about it, which makes sense with where it is. 

I’ve been to Medicine Bakery on New Street a few times recently and I’ve really enjoyed it. I like the chilled-out vibe, the mix of people and the friendly staff.

For breakfast, they have some great vegan breakfast options including an avocado tartine (open sandwich), a falafel dish, and two grilled sourdough sandwich options, the mushroom one is fab!

One of the times I visited I’d already eaten breakfast so I just went with a coffee and a vegan muffin, which was delicious! Along with the muffin, they had a few other sweet vegan options such as cookies and flapjacks.
