Seeds Coffee Co. - Homewood

Their cappuccino may be my favorite in Birmingham!! Also, I love that their seasonal beverages and flavored lattes are not too sweet!

Difficult to get to area. Looks interesting from the outside but was rather disappointing when I went in as it was rather loud and a weird cramped layout. My order was to go though so that wasn't really relevant to me today. What was relevant is they were out of chai tea and the coffee that I ordered with some of the worst I've ever had. The cranberry orange goat cheese scone was an epic fail as it couldn't decide if it was supposed to be sweet or savory and was just a weird combination furthermore it wasn't actually a scone, as it was very greasy and had more of a cake texture than the denser biscuit texture of a true scone from Europe. The service was decent , however, you would think when she told me they were out of chai tea she would have pointed out that they have a whole second small menu over to the right of the register in addition to what's on the menu on the wall. Because I didn't see that till after I had ordered and gotten my order I missed out on an opportunity to try something more interesting than the awful coffee. Wouldn't recommend and won't be back

The coffee is SO GOOD but I wish I could get the lemon cake latte in a gallon size. The avocado toast is divine. You get a lot of fruit on the side too! And the Sriracha honey is a mussssst! (The sausage was extra, it does not come with the toast.)

Although there are positives, it pains me to have to write this review because I know what this place is capable of doing.

I lived in W. Homewood for years and made Seeds a fairly regular stop. Always consistent, fresh and delicious. I moved out of town for a year and recently moved back. I don't know what happened in the past year, but someone in the kitchen doesn't seem to be paying attention to the details.

Positives: The drinks are very consistent, delicious, and well-crafted. And the vibe is cool with lots of seating options inside and out.

Negatives: The food I'm most familiar with is the biscuit. It USED to be so good that I never saw the need to order anything else. Here's where they fell far short. In the last week, I've been twice. I order the scrambled egg, provolone and avocado biscuit each time. First time, not much flavor or cheese, and biscuit was just okay. I get that anyone can have a bad day so I decided to give it another try. However, today, it was worse -- no flavor (not even salt/pepper, something, anything!) and barely any cheese. But the biscuit was rock hard, (as if it were a day old), tepid, and altogether unappetizing. I was surprised this was even allowed to be served. To be clear, all the other food looks appetizing, but I haven't tried it.

I hope whoever reads this takes my comments to heart and makes it better. I want to support a LOCAL coffee/breakfast spot.

I have been coming here for a few years. Its always a great spot to unwind or to get work done on the computer.

At 07:30 they werent ready to serve any dishes with potatoes. What left to try was ok. The cream for my plain brew was sour and I had to ask for a fresh cup of coffee.
The interior is spacious with plenty of seating either solo or with a group.

Honestly, I like Seeds, and I feel a little bad for this review, but guys, I waited at the register for a good 8 minutes before someone took my order. My Pumkin muffin was good, so was my drink. Nothin fancy, just wanted to relax a little. I’m just gonna say it…. Whoever is choosing the music needs to have that responsibility removed. Heavy Trumpet Weird Jazz, so dark in the beginning I thought about calling the Crisis Center and now 30 MINUTES LATER INTO THE SONG is this weird Wild Bohemian Nightmare Fuel Symphony. Come. On. Man. I added a video. Don’t know if you can hear it but it is 2:30pm on Friday. I’m so wound up now imma have to take a zbar to regain my composure.

Stopped on a road trip - great coffee ! A bit of a line but they cranked em out pretty good. Got an iced van latte, an iced mocha and egg+avocado toast. Lots of seating options inside and out and friendly staff. Loved seeing the barista use a scale for every espresso shot - I'm guessing you can trust a consistent cup here 😀

Serious coffee guy here. If you’re looking for third wave / speciality coffee in Bham, congrats—you’ve found it!

In my view, Seeds offers the best specialty coffee in our area (other than my own kitchen! coffee nerds will know what I mean).

As a top notch roaster, they’re offering fresh coffee from fresh beans, which provides the best flavor experience.

These days, it’s crowded. If you’re hoping to stay and have a conversation, you might consider going at an off-peak time of day.

The service is solid overall. It’s a fast-paced cafe environment, but the staff are usually nice and helpful.

The Red Bourbon pour over was incredible. Highly recommend this place! It is tough to find parking but well worth the walk if you have too.

Just have to follow up with what everyone is saying...it's excellent! They do a wonderful job making coffee taste great. It was not too sweet and incredibly flavorful. Also helpful staff!

Excellent coffee, 10/10. If you’re visiting the Birmingham area, this is the spot to try. Get the specials - we tried the blackberry jam latte with oat milk and honey cinnamon latte with macadamia milk. Delicious!
