After more than two and a half years of uncertainty, the long-shuttered Yorks cafe on Birmingham’s Stephenson Street is finally set for a fresh start. Following its temporary closure in late 2021 and subsequent signs of decline—including moss-covered awnings and the shuttering of nearby Yorks branches—new signage now announces Mosa Coffee as the incoming occupant.
Mosa Coffee is gearing up to bring a distinctly British coffee experience to the area. The signage reveals little beyond its web address and a promise that all coffee will be roasted in the UK. According to Mosa’s website, the brand prides itself on its organic, single-origin beans, emphasizing freshness from roast to cup.
The cafe’s commitment to local sourcing extends to its milk, which comes from British farms, and its freshly baked pastries available daily. Describing itself as “a quiet, genuine moment,” Mosa Coffee aims to offer customers a peaceful pause amid everyday bustle with a focus on quality and locality.

Though the website is still being developed, it hints at a menu featuring coffee, matcha, toasties, sweets, and pastries. This new venture is a welcome addition to Stephenson Street, an area that has seen several closures and relocations in recent years, including Tiger Bites Pig moving elsewhere and All Greek Street Food shutting down.
As Mosa Coffee prepares to open its doors, it promises to breathe new life into this once vibrant street, offering locals and visitors a fresh spot to enjoy quality coffee and treats. More details on the opening date will be shared as they become available.
