Cartlands Tea Rooms

You'll find Cartlands tucked away by Kings Heath Park, the kind of place where time moves differently. It's all vintage china, honest wooden furniture, and the sort of afternoon light that makes you want to linger over a pot of tea you didn't rush to order. The menu leans into what tea rooms do best—quality loose-leaf blends, proper cakes that don't taste like they came from a supermarket, and sandwiches that won't disappoint. It's family-friendly without being chaotic, and locals clearly rate it enough to keep coming back, though some reckon the experience can be uneven depending on the day.
