The Rotting Pumpkin
Drip Coffee

“Atmosphere: Punch Love Coffee is a small, bright shop in the Makebhm space. There are several tables outside but only a few small tables inside, so it may be more difficult to come with a larger group. The interior is minimalistic with plants scattered around the cafe, as well as a giant monstera! Service: The owner/barista was very nice! One thing to note is that they don't have wifi, so this might not be the optimal place for working remotely. Food: We ordered a vanilla cappuccino and regular cappuccino. They were both served at a nice temperature -- not too hot or cold. The vanilla was a bit on the sweet side, but we still very much enjoyed our drinks. Overall: We loved how intimate and refreshing Punch Love Coffee felt. The drinks were good, and the vibes were positive and friendly. We'd say Punch Love Coffee is a great place to read, chat, and enjoy a drink.“

Coffee and Chocolate Gelato Half Scoop

“I don’t even know another place to get gelato in Birmingham, but Cannella seems to have a pretty consistent menu. Haven’t seen too many seasonal flavors, but I’m impressed with how creamy the lemon sorbet is without any dairy it. If you go there and ask how they do it, they might just tell you their secret!“

Pistachio Rose Latte
Black Sesame

“Visiting the area and decided to stop here for a quick caffeine boost one morning. I’m usually seeking out coffee shops that also have a nice selection of hot teas, with the London fog latte being my go-to. They were out of Earl grey when I went which was a bummer but I ended up getting the pistachio rose flavored iced coffee and it was good. The rose was very strong- which I enjoyed but if you like a subtle flavor profile be sure to try something else or maybe ask for less syrup than they usually use. It was packed and there weren’t a lot of places to sit and enjoy our coffees, but we took them to go. Overall a good experience and I would love to come back at some point to try a London fog latte.“

“I am loyal to Seeds for several reasons. (1) They are consistent with their craft. Always a solid Cortado, Pour Over, or latte. (2) They were early on the scene and brought excellence to the Bham metro regarding coffee. After Octane was bought, then Revelator failed, Seeds just kept marching on. Try them out. Awesome shop, great place to chill, and solid coffee!“

“The donuts are small, delicious, and fresh and the service is great! The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the cost to ratio of what you're getting. I suppose if you came in and bought a bunch of flavors, it'd be more worth your while, but for an individual looking for a donut snack, it's pricey for sure.“

The owner was very friendly and joked around with us. I will definitely come back.“

“This place has some of the best coffee I've found in my adventures of finding new coffee places across the country. My partner got the turtle latte minus caramel add hazelnut and I got the turtle latte just add hazelnut. They are so good and not overpowering on the flavor side. Their coffee isn't burnt so it doesn't taste bitter at all and their prices are super reasonable. This is our go to coffee place while we're in town. 10/10 definitely coming back.“

Best oatmeal bowl you can find, loaded with fruit, seeds and nuts. ?“
