A popular West Midlands bakery has announced that its newest location will be based in one of Birmingham’s most popular attractions.

Medicine Bakery, which operates seven venues across Birmingham and Wolverhampton, will unveil a new venue in the 15-acre Grade II-listed Birmingham Botanical Gardens later this month.

Led by founders Simon and Francesca Jones, Medicine Bakery was formed following the closure of Digbeth’s Medicine Bar back in 2011. From their Wolverhampton HQ, the pair have continued to develop their craft, inspired by French and New York baking traditions, while using locally and ethically sourced ingredients.

Chris Maher, Head of Commercial and Visitor Services at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, commented on the news: “We’re delighted to welcome Medicine Bakery as a new partner.

“We’re excited to work with a distinguished Brummie business to create a destination café at the Gardens. Medicine’s values and commitment to quality align closely with our own, and we believe their reputation for excellence in service and food will be an amazing addition for all visitors. We have a huge spring and summer programme of events and activities ahead at the Gardens and we can’t wait for this key part of our visitor and events offer to open.

This partnership will also be a huge addition to the Gardens venue hire offer, including away days, conferences and weddings.”

Alongside locally roasted, barista coffee, guests can enjoy cakes and pastries, and savoury treats to go or dine on the terrace with beautiful garden views. On weekends, Medicine’s beloved brunch menu will also be on offer.

Medicine Bakery’s new space will be open seven days a week during the Gardens’ operating hours. To visit, you’ll need a Birmingham Botanical Gardens day ticket, or to become a Gardens Member for free year-round access.
