lovely bookshop and cafe with great baristas!!! I love going there to read and relax with friends!

The cafe has probably the nicest barristers in Birmingham.

The sort of place you'd take your Granny and your mates...

Staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful too. My favourite bookstore in Birmingham.

Never been there in my life, but some fine folks I know--or at least know of--enjoyed it there.

My favourite place to be! Especially when my knees are just killing me, so a coffee, slice of cake, a couple of bruffen, read a bit of Kafka on the shore by Murakami and buy a copy of Walden. Almost perfection.....

My favourite place in Birmingham to buy good books.

Love stopping here for coffee after choosing a book. Lovely staff

Love going to wAterstones birmingham has 6 floors 2 with cafes staff are excellent and friendly loved the book benches shame Burton haven't got the same visit every wèek even if only for coffee and quick read see you next week x

Just visited Waterstones Birmingham for the first time... Felt welcomed in immediately by the layout, the armchairs, and of course the books !!!! Such a choice, but not overwhelming. Came away with three books this time, and will be back for the books and the events. A very exciting eye opener!!

Just been to the Robin Hobb book signing and the staff were so lovely and accomodating when my mom was unable to wait in the queue. Thank you very much :)

It was a great evening meeting Lindsey Kelk and Miranda Jackson. Fab evening.

I went in for a mooch ended up helping a guy who had taken funny turn, lovely staff. Very helpful. Highly recommended if you have a funny turn and feel unwell

I popped in to Waterstones because I'd heard the author doing a book launch was the lady coming to our school as a visitor / entertainer for world book day. B.B.Taylor not only read the book but entertained and made real connect with the audience. I bought the book 'Murphy and the monster' and I can't wait to read it to my class. 10/10

I always love going to Waterstones being a lover of both books and coffee Waterstones ticks both of these boxes very well. The staff are always very helpful.

Had a lovely experience and staff were really helpful and friendly also cafe was really good value

Had a great experience and having my book signed by Johnny Herbert was awesome. The staff were really friendly and helpful too.

Great staff and very helpful. Attending at signing by Joe Hill was a wonderful experience as the staff seemed to be enjoying it too. They couldn’t do enough for you.

Great place for a coffee and a book! Really vibrant atmosphere. (Also great cake!)

Great friendly and helpful staff. Their events are always well run and organised and are always fun.

Got my Harry Potter and the cursed child book and it's siiiick.

Excellent event today at book signing by Cassandra Clare. We were vip guests and all the staff went above and beyond to make sure my daughters had a fabulous experience. Thank you

Books and Cake and lovely people.

Try the Red Velvet Cake!

Awesome dynamic bookstore, proposing lots of different activities, and the café is so great, it's such a pleasure to have coffee among the books !

An amazing place to read books , and to have a cup of coffee , they have unlimtied type of books , it's a highly recomended place for people who love to read ��

We went here yesterday for Joey Graceffa's book signing and although the staff were very good at organising and keeping things moving I didn't like the way they spoke to us half of the time.. plus now I font know if this decision was made by Joey's I don't management team I guess because he had to get to another signing that day in reading or if it was made by Waterstones but we weren't aloud to give him our gifts ourselves we had to give them to this lady.. but I've seen at other signings people giving them personally which was kind of a bummer cause I wanted to tell him something about them but didn't get the chance but overall a really good experience.

Took my daughter yesterday for the Tom Fletcher book signing , staff were pleasant and it was well organised

The service is excellent at waterstones birmingham. Me and. Sisters regulary visit yout store. Loved the book chairs. A while. Back and love meeting authors when they come to sign. My sister found she has been blocked on your twitter page and dosent know why And was wondering if you could tell us why please we always visit waterstones birmingham most weeks one of the best waterstones ever. With the cafes you can have a coffee tea and check out the good books my son loves the children. Book section. Brilliant shop xxx

Had really good service in here today. There was a girl up in the young adults section who was super friendly and helpful as I wanted a new book but didn't know what was good. She recommended several and I bought two of the ones she suggested. Didn't catch her name but I would love to give her a recommendation. Only gave the place a four cause I miss the other old building but the new building isn't bad at all.

Probably the wrong of year to go as very very busy. However lovely store with a Costa X

Events are good,but badly organised.staff are quite rude.It used to be the place to visit,now it feels uncomfortable.The layout is not great,and the staff constantly push add on sales even when your in a rush.Ive visited other waterstones and none of the above seems to apply.shame really,as we need a decent book shop in the city.

Something very wrong with the new basement. It 'feels' wrong. The lighting is bad for people that suffer with migraines and epilepsy. It is claustrophobic. Horror and sci-fi are mixed together. The lifts are too small to fit more than a wheel chair in. And the cafes... the one on the 1st floor doesn't do soft drinks. You have to go to the one on the 3rd floor. Staff hover to clear your table even if you haven't finished. Terrible changes. Bring back the other store.

Seen a mouse & the staff picked it up with a dust pan & brush , they said that they throw it outside
