Medicine Bakery New Street is a bakery and cafe at 69A New Street in central Birmingham. The first floor restaurant occupies a former Victorian gallery, where high ceilings and natural light create a memorable place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Its character comes from combining an active bakery counter with a spacious dining room.
Food is made by hand, from slow fermented doughs and pastries to house sauces and complete brunch plates. Avocado tartine, Turkish eggs and the Medicine breakfast sandwich show the savoury side of the menu, while strawberry French toast and fried chicken French toast bring a sweeter contrast. Seasonal specials keep the choice changing.
Cruffins, pain au pistachio, cinnamon buns and almond croissants fill the counter alongside breads and cakes. Plant based and gluten free options are available, although the bakery environment means traces of wheat and nuts cannot be ruled out. Halal chicken and turkey bacon provide additional flexibility, but guests should confirm the latest details before ordering.
Coffee, smoothies and cocktails allow the room to shift easily from a quick morning stop to a longer lunch. The bakery works to source close to home and reduce waste, while its breads and pastries are produced using traditional artisan methods. Medicine Bakery New Street offers ambitious daytime food in one of Birmingham’s most atmospheric cafe spaces.
