Damascena opens fifth site in Birmingham

Independent coffee house Damascena has officially opened its latest venue at a prominent commercial development in Birmingham.

Damascena's fifth venue, a coffee house, delicatessen and bakery, takes up more than 3,000 sq ft of space on the ground floor of SevenCapital's Lyndon House.

Lyndon House will also form Damascena's new headquarters.

Anas Zein Al-Abdeen, managing director of Damascena, said: "The Edgbaston venue is a bold move in the current climate but one that we are very excited about, particularly given its prime location within popular Lyndon House in Edgbaston village.

"We're honoured to be bringing our unique menu and distinct vibe to another part of our beloved city, creating new jobs in the process."

Simon Dicken, senior director at SevenCapital, added: "The building offers an exciting opportunity for the brand to tap into additional markets within the city centre and will provide a new dynamic to Edgbaston's growing café culture."

Damascena's other sites in the city are Temple West, Harborne, Jewellery Quarter and \Mosdeley Village.
