A French-inspired coffee house has opened at The Cube, in Birmingham.

La Madeleine is on the seventh level of the complex and offers baguettes and artisan coffee, a range of traditional French pastries and loaves, as well as a lunch menu including fresh salads.

Owner restaurant entrepreneur Mike Nayla said: “Madeleine is a continuation of my investment into Birmingham, which is home to some of the most celebrated culinary names in the country and it is really exciting to be able to play a part in its delicious diversity.

“I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to take on a second unit in The Cube and am looking forward to driving the success of this new venture.”

Madeleine is now open for breakfast from 7am with lunch from 11.30am. Future plans include afternoon tea and, with the venue being fully licensed, there are additional plans to serve a small selection of alcoholic beverages.
