Regular readers may have noticed I’d disappeared and not posted the usual 3-4 times per week in the last month or so. The reason is I’ve been doing a large project for new in town Yelp.
Yelp is a review website, born in San Francisco, now everywhere. They wanted to get Yelp Birmingham off the ground so for the last 5 weeks, I’ve been writing reviews on my beloved independent businesses around the city. It’s been fun, exhausting and challenging but I have loved writing reviews in my own style. Each day I’ve been writing for them I’ve also got to know more about Yelp and I know they will grow quickly and become the go-to place to find out about brilliant Birmingham.
All my reviews (so far) can be found here.
There’s also a (growing) list of the indie coffee shops I’ve talked about here Coffee Birmingham













Wow, you have been busy. And thanks so much for including Midlands Discovery Tours among your reviews and write-ups, along with many great businesses and organisations that make Birmingham such a fantastic place to live and work.
Awesome that you are writing for Yelp! We use it for everything here in the States!
Hi Raquel, thanks for your comment. I’m loving that Yelp is all about the independent business and that it links people together!
