Lostalgia is home to hearty lunches, cool clothes, racks of records and more
Fans of retro fashion, records and general vintage bargain hunting will find themselves at home among the racks at a cool Digbeth cafe that opened this winter.
Lostalgia is a welcoming cafe that serves hearty bargain lunches, fresh cakes and coffee in the Zellig building on Gibb Street.
The cafe doubles up as a treasure trove of cool clothes, records and other special vintage ‘bargains’.

Lostalgia launched back in November at the Zellig Building, at the site of the former Artisan Deli.
It’s the creation of Nan Summers Vintage, a shop that was on Digbeth High Street before the launch of Lostalgia.
It’s a daytime boost for Digbeth which is largely known for its thriving night time scene.
Lostalgia promises ‘bargains’ in store, with rails and racks full of clothing including cool sportswear and coats.
The cafe serves coffee from just £2.50, hot and cold sandwiches for £3 and jacket potatoes from £3.50. It sells rice bowls too.
Lostalgia is the second new cafe to open in the neighbourhood in the last year after Baked In Brick opened one of its Bakehouses.
Digbeth is known for being a go-to for lovers on vintage clothing with Cow thriving on Digbeth High Street and stalls within the Red Brick Market selling vintage wears too.
A number of new business have set their sights on the neighbourhood, annoying plans to open this year.
They include the Low Places country-themed honky-tonk and dive bar which will launch at the former DropShot venue on Heath Mill Lane.
Meanwhile on the High Street, cult movie-themed Spoilers will open in spring and on the corner between the High Street and Gibb Street, a venue called Sophy’s will take over the former Kilo Ziro space.
Lostalgia can be found at Unit 9 Gibb Street, B9 4AA.
