Medicine was born out of a discovery of abandoned space, of new possibilities and an inquisitive quality for creating something vital and diverse. An artisan bakery and kitchen, café and gallery, which is rooted in its heritage in both Birmingham and Wolverhampton, Medicine represents a new format of social space. It finds its niche through a carefully curated menu of ethical products, whilst offering a daily fix of cultural inspiration in an environment which promotes a debate about art and culture. Please note bookings are for diners only and there is unfortunately no wheelchair access

    Not our first visit to Medicine and definitely won’t be our last either. This place never disappoints. Delicious food, quality ingredients, plenty of choice, great service and surroundings. It’s stunning. Highly recommended.

    I booked as last time we went it got really busy and I’m glad we did as it was full. The staff are really friendly and helpful, the menu is outstanding - I could have eaten anything on there - and it’s a lovely setting with the roof lantern and lots of plants. The portions are generous and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would absolutely return again and again. In addition, they sell delicious looking doughnuts and other treats to take away and they don’t hang around long!

    The food itself is good and the main dining area is really nicely decorated. However, cannot get over the toilet situation in there. Considering it's a large restaurant with a high turnover of diners, there is only ONE tiny toilet! Which is up an incredibly narrow set of stairs. Not sure what happens if that ever goes out of use. It really let's down the overall experience.

    My food was cold. We had tea/cakes after it took ages for the drinks to come although it wasn’t busy. My only bad experience so I will go back, maybe just a bad day!

    We have eaten here a few times and would recommend it all. Everything we have eaten has been freshly prepared and the taste and portion size make it extremely good value for money in our opinion.

    Amazing baked goods. The food was excellent. Unique vibe. The service was unfortunately quite slack and one of us was brought the wrong food. It was taken away but only the wrong item, leaving the correct dish to go cold by the time the other dish was brought over. Then we had to ask twice for the bill.
    Medicine Bakery - New StreetResponded on 17 December 2024
    Hi Matt, Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. I am sorry the service was not up to scratch, i will be investigating further, to ensure when mistakes happen, they are dealt with quickly and correctly. The team should have picked up any issues on check back. We are always striving to improve and we have continual team training, to keep our standards high. I hope it will not put you off visiting us again and we see you again over the festive season. We wish you a very Merry Christmas. Medicine
