Commuters, travellers and NEC visitors now have even more reason to arrive early at Birmingham International Station. Our newly refurbished Gourmet Coffee Bar & Kitchen officially reopened on Monday 16th February, unveiling a stylish transformation designed to enhance the travel experience at one of the West Midlands’ busiest transport hubs.
Since first opening in 2013, we’ve proudly served speciality coffee, fresh food to go and a relaxing selection of draught beers and wines for passengers travelling through to the nearby National Exhibition Centre and Birmingham Airport. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for quality, convenience and great service.
Following a major refurbishment announced in late 2025 and completed in early 2026, we’ve re-opened our doors with a fresh new look and an expanded offering, all designed with our customers in mind.
A Major Investment in Birmingham International Station
This transformation represents a significant investment in our Birmingham International location. The project was proudly supported by a West Midlands development grant delivered in partnership with Solihull Council, which funded 50% of the upgrade.
This backing reflects a shared commitment to strengthening key regional transport hubs and improving facilities for the thousands of passengers who pass through the station every day.
