Druckers Vienna Patisserie

Bigger than most Bullring cafes. Chicken salad on a croissant… Whaaaaaaa??? Such a strange concoction I just had to try it, a combination of sweet and savoury that I will most definitely be back for. The prices here are very acceptable, even my mum agrees and she doesn’t like spending in expensive cafes!
I visited during the hectic Xmas shopping time and they were heaving, however the tables were cleared and cleaned quickly and the staff were all smiling.

I lost track of the times I visited this place! I only order café latte and the custard cake (Mille Fuix… I don’t remember the spelling, it’s French)
The cakes, pies, tarts, and sandwiches here are so good and fresh! The coffee is so good as well! One of the few good places to buy cakes even though it is a little pricy!

Always a treat when on a trip to town (its a shame a couple of the shops have shut in other locations) — this is a favourite stop off for tea and cake (especially after an early morning flight or a heavy day’s shopping)

The food is consistently good, but the service today was awful. I wish I could rate the two separately!
Service:
We arrived first, placed our order, and while we waited several others placed orders. However, the girl at the register made us wait while she rang up the people in line behind us, despite standing there at the till with our tray. It was strange and rude. We’ll try another café next time we’re in the Bullring.

I have a secret soft spot for Druckers.
I’ll confess that I’ve never tried the coffee, I always end up with a pot of tea. But the cakes, oh the cakes. Banoffee eclairs make the world go round.
Druckers is my favourite place to go for lunch with my mum, mostly because it can be a bit pricey and I know she’ll pay for it. Cheeky, I know.
It can get very busy at weekends and lunch time and the service can sometimes be a little slow, but the staff are always friendly.
Well worth a visit if you’re not watching your calories or your wallet.

I have visited this coffee shop on many occasions, mostly to have one of their cakes of which there are many varieties — carrot cake, apple cake, blackforest you name it and they are likely to serve it!
If you fancy lunch here there is soup, jacket potatoes, painins, quiche and that’s just for starters! They also offer a variety of hot and cold drinks — hot chocolate, italian coffee’s and fruit smoothies.
There is plenty of seating here, although it can get busy at peak times e.g. lunchtime and if you fancy a late lunch such as jacket potato you are likely to be out of luck as they sell quick!

I’ve really enjoyed Druckers every time I’ve been in a shopping frenzy and needed refreshment before I passed out in my Kurt Geigers.
The pastries and little parcels of delightful decadence gracing the bakery cases in Druckers can never be denied, so DONOTIREAPEATDONOT, go into Druckers if you’re on a diet. How in the WORLD can you deny the yummy yummy soft goodness that is melt-​in-​your-​mouth pastry and a thousand calories in every bite? You can’t, so don’t try to deny it.
Druckers is on the expensive side, but that’s because it’s a posh little café. There are never squalling children in here, because parents don’t usually want to buy their child a £5 chocolate mousse whilst on their way to The Entertainer. It’s just quiet, couth adults reading or having a quiet chat over their delicious Viennese treats.
Druckers also do very nice sandwiches, toasted or non, and some nice savoury salads and a few other sides. Their coffee and selection of teas are broad and all very tasty.
The service is nice and polite without being cloying. It really is a nice quiet atmosphere in which to get away from the hoi polloi whilst at The Bullring.

took papers and sat in corner on a busy sat morning was ok my cheesy ham asparagus croissant was nice big cup of mocha set me up for the day £7.00 is about the going rate staff were good at clearing just wot i needed shopping trip start of very successful its quite good for people watching if out on the balcny aswell

the cakes and patiserrie here are just out of this world, me and my family and nearly all my friends just love this place for its yummy and almost heavenly cakes and the coffee and capucinos are not bad aswell. Lovely staff also work here and it is perfect after a hard days work or shopping.

Went to this place just before Christmas whilst shopping in the Bull Ring. OK it was heaving busy but no excuse for no communication between staff and customers. I had to wait ages for a bad coffee. Their sandwiches were very expensive and not that creative. Left the place and they won’t see me again.

Ok this place is about the only decent seating area that I could find in the Bull Ring. Not bad at all but I don’t like sandwiches left out for ages — my bread was a bit hard. Staff nice — Manager present too makes a change! Find it at the end of top mall

This place has been a favourite of mine for many years. A great place to stop after a days shopping. They do a wide range of hot and cold drinks and both sweet and savoury snacks. However it is the cakes that are to die for and the hot chocolate is also worth a try.

A fantastic coffee shop, with lots of choice both sweet and savoury.
Although the sandwiches and other savoury snacks are an ideal lunch stop, the cakes are amazing and definitely worth a mid-​shop snack, some of the daily specials are to die for!
The biggest problem is that because it is part of the Bull Ring, it can get very busy and crowded unlike some of the other Drucker’s branches around the city centre.
Service has always been fantastic in Druckers outlets and this is no exception and the standard of the food is unbeatable. Definitely worth the calories for the experience and a wonderful mid-​shopping treat.

I love Druckers — it’s something of a Birmingham institution as it was started here originally by a man from Vienna who wanted to re-​create the Viennese coffee shops he remembered from home.
This branch in the Bull Ring is a little larger than the standard Druckers branches you find and has a nice atmosphere because you feel you can relax a little more — there’s usually free tables so you don’t feel you have to hurry up as others might be waiting for the table.
As it’s part of the Bullring complex, it also opens in line with Bullring opening hours, meaning it’s open until 8pm every evening except Sundays, so it’s longer opening hours than you’d usually get from a Drucker’s too.
The main thing that lets it down is the staff. I’ve never known a Druckers with such indifferent and variable staff. Some of them are lovely, but the majority seem rude and indifferent to service.
They also have a very strange set up at the counter — they always place the drinks, cakes etc. well back on the counter near the till, so you have to reach across to put them on your tray yourself. If you were short or in a wheelchair or something you just couldn’t do it!
I’ve never known a Drucker’s where they they don’t supply a tray at the counter and load it up for you, then hand it to you. At this one, you have to take the tray at the start, but there’s no reason for that because it’s not self-​service, and you end up having to lean right over to get the drinks and food which they seem to delight in putting as far back as possible! For this reason, I find this particular branch a bit of a letdown.

Croissant sarnies, cream cakes and hot chocolate

Really like the chicken salad stuffed croissants Drucker’s do, I think they are reasonably priced and it is a great place to sit and have a relaxing drink and a snack. They also do wonderful jacket potatoes with a great big side salad. Have tried the soup of the day when its a cold day too and found it to be lovely.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service! You can choose from a great variety of drinks, such as herbals, good old english tea, hot chocolate, cold drinks and smoothies. The cakes are delicious, and you can also buy savouries such as croissant with cheese and tomatoe. I would recommend buying tea, you get it on a tray with a lovely mini kettle and cup, it is all laid out meticulously and looks great, making your visit a little extra special.

A busy and bustling place at weekends and a nice quiet afternoon treat in the weekdays.
Whenever you visit you will be impressed by the quality and standard of both the food and place.
The prices vary and once you taste the food you won’t care how much it cost because it is so delicious!
This is a must for a treat now and then.

An ideal place to stop for a spot of lunch whilst shopping in the Bull Ring.
They have a great selection of savory snacks and mouth watering cakes. Personally, I love their filled croissants followed up by a fresh fruit tartlet, but really there should be something to suit every taste. There’s only one downside here — the way they organise serving can create considerable queues at lunch time. If you can avoid peak times I think you’ll truly appreciate this place. P. S. Forget the calories… Afterall, you only live once!
