This cozy vinyl shop doubles as a laid-back café, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city center with its carefully curated atmosphere and lofi background music. The space serves up quality beverages and light bites while maintaining an impressive collection of records and magazines for music enthusiasts to browse through.

Reviews
It is a spacious cocktail bar, with a very vibrant environment. There were enough comfortable sitting spaces both inside and outside. The decor of the shop made it an interesting place to visit. The stuffs were helpful, kind and welcoming. There were a manageable queue. Not much interesting option for snaks. I was looking for a non-alcoholic drink and the lady behind the bar suggested me to try the grape one. I tried it, and it was super good However the drink name Karma cola & gingerella really triggered me to buy but that lady said the best one would be the grape one. I recommend it too. Enjoy
It's hard to find a place to drink good tea. Good blends and brewing are hard enough, but tea is also about atmosphere. I hit up cafe Artum and I'm glad I did. It's more than a tea shop (it does coffees, sandwiches, cakes, hosts a chess and book club, and has a great collection of music records on display). My blend was brilliantly balanced and my friend said the brownie he had was "top... top quality!" One of the owners is a friend of mine. I know him to be a man of ideas, passion, and a committed artist. It shows in the quality of what he serves- they're crafted. What really struck me though was how peaceful the shop was (I loved the soft lofi-esque music playing). Time moved differently in Cafe Artum. It's the perfect space to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre and the office. An oasis. Independent shops have character- this one especially. Do check it out!
Great place happy to support local independent coffee shops also have a excellent range of vinyls to purchase wow!
Amazing music, interior is absolutely fabulous and the sandwiches and drinks are decent. There should be more places like this in Birmingham where people can relax and wind down.
Great venue with selection of vinyl and magazines, food served by Hockley Social Club street food traders change time to time. Events are amazing and supporting local artists and musicians. Highly recommended to check it out when you are in Jewellery Quarter!
