A new coffee shop and patisserie is set to open in a historic Birmingham village that dates back to medieval times.

The venue has announced the date it will start serving customers and said that it will be offering coffee, cakes, bagels, panini and more.

The new coffee shop will be called Colanzo and it is opening at the back of the former Lloyds Bank on Kings Norton Green, overlooking the Green. There is a seating area outside the building which has floor to ceiling glass doors and windows. The grand opening is taking place at 11am on Monday, November 6 with brunch and desserts on the menu.

The Colanzo joins a selection of food and drink venues on The Green, including the popular Chas Mann shop which serves beer, wine cocktails, food along with hosting live music. There’s also a burger bar called Moza Buns, Mahfil Indian restaurant and the popular Molly’s cafe renowned for its breakfasts and lunches.

Kings Norton Green is home to Birmingham’s finest selection of medieval buildings which date back to the 15th century. There’s Tudor Merchants House - where Queen Henrietta Maria stayed one night during the 1642 English Civil War; an old Old Grammar School dating back to 1434 to 1460 and St Nicolas Church which dates back to 1231. Other nearby hospitality venues on The Green include the Bull’s Head pub and the Navigation Wetherspoons bar.
