Went for breakfast. The place is very airy and has a good vibe. We were seated promptly and presented with menus. Orrdered Huevos Rolandos and a cream cheese bagel with a side of smoked gouda grits. Everything was really good. Service was also great.

The hand crafted drink flavors alone are enough to visit. The awesome food is fresh, enough, and flavorful. I cannot wait to get back and have told everyone who will listen about my experience. I want to try everything on the menu. My picky teenager loved her beverage!!

I love Frothy downtown. The staff = some of the kindest folks ive ever met. I come here often and work/sit at the bar. Service is phenomenal and the food is 10/10. The coffee and fun mix of seasonal drinks and cocktails keep the menu fresh! I ? frothy.

Waited for our drinks for 15-20 minutes when the store was practically empty, then it took the waiter over half an hour to ring up me and my friends checks, the waiters were too busy socializing with another customer walking by our checks with cards and cash ready multiple times. I really never complain about these things because I understand being apart of the service industry as well but when they are only 4-5 other customers and 4+ people on staff upfront I really don’t understand why it could possibly take so long? We could viability see them sitting around doing nothing. Side note there were weird chunks in my drink (I got an iced coffee) and I ended up throwing up after I got home.

Nice place but the food isn’t very good and it feels like it’s ran by children, there is no organization, no one cares or has an understanding of customer service. Half the staff seems lost the other half seems happily aloof. If you want good food and especially if you want good service keep looking!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread here is terrible

Wasn't able to eat here. We waited for 20-25 minutes until someone finally greeted us. All the while, a line out the door was created behind us and we watched as 7 other tables were opened up. When they finally greeted us they said it would be another 20 minute wait. At least half of the line including us just left at that point.

Having been a staple in my Nashville routine, I was thrilled to find Frothy Monkey in Birmingham, AL. Despite its origins as a cozy coffee shop in Nashville's vibrant 12th South neighborhood, Birmingham's iteration leans more towards a restaurant vibe, yet it retains that unmistakable Frothy Monkey charm. I find myself here almost every other morning, indulging in their exceptional breakfast and coffee.The space is surprisingly spacious and comfortable, making it easy to forget that Frothy Monkey is relatively new to Birmingham. My go-to breakfast is the Farmer's breakfast, featuring locally sourced smoked bacon and gluten-free toast that's truly top-notch. And for anyone skeptical about their smoked Gouda grits, they're awesome.The staff here adds to the overall experience. Aaron, with his ever-present smile, greets you with genuine warmth, setting the tone for a pleasant visit. Tammy, whose efficiency and presence command attention. And Amy, a hostess who seems to know everyone, adds a personal touch that makes you feel right at home.Frothy Monkey has quickly become more than just a breakfast spot for me; it's become my routine. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is one spot you won't want to miss.

Came here today to meet my sister for a birthday lunch, we're from out of town, and HOLY COW, Frothy Monkey is immaculate. The space was beautifully decorated, the food was amazing, and the staff were so warm and friendly. Seeing vegan options on the menu was such a nice surprise. I will 100% be coming back here, hopefully for wine and desserts next time. Thanks for a great stop in Birmingham, Frothy Monkey!!
