Siena Coffe and More

You'll find Siena tucked away on Moseley Road in Balsall Heath, a stretch that's quietly become one of Birmingham's better spots for a decent bite and brew. It's the kind of place where the owner actually cares about what's coming out of the machine – proper espresso, the sort that doesn't taste like burnt regret. The food side of things leans Italian, which makes sense given the name, and there's a real sense that they're not trying to be something they're not. It's unpretentious in the way Balsall Heath does best, with regulars who clearly know their stuff and staff that treat you like you belong there immediately.
