41 Best Coffee Shops near Center Point

“I’m not a coffee drinker. But a local chef(shout out to Whitney Simone!) I follow and patronize raved about Rochelle’s grit bowl, so I decided to try breakfast here. I wished that it was advertised that breakfast was sold here because I always thought this place was just a coffee spot. Anyway, I was sooooo impressed with the cuteness of the decor inside. It felt very cozy and intimate. Soft music played in the background. I love the branding on the cups and other merchandise for purchase. Upon entering, my friend and I were greeted warmly. We placed our orders and found a place to sit. The seats were comfy and a bright red that matched the theme of it also being a lounge. There was a little free library where you could take home a free book. There were several small tvs available to watch. Our food came out after a short wait. Yall….my grit bowl was absolutely splendid! The grits were creamy and perfect- not too thick, not too thin. The meats were delicious as were the eggs. My friend enjoyed his pancakes but also wanted to try the grit bowl after hearing me rave about mine. After he devoured his, he agreed that it was just as good as I told him it was. My peach smoothie came in this cute little sealed cup with the branding on it. I love a business that doesn’t skip on the branding! I enjoyed my experience here 100% and I’m even thinking of returning tomorrow morning for breakfast! One thing I would improve: I hope the owners consider advertising that they sell breakfast as well. Folks like me that may not be coffee drinkers but who love breakfast will gladly patronize the business…if we know they sell more than coffee. Overall, this place earned my 5 stars.“

“I actually really like this location and the drinks are great but only this time they filled my drink up with ice to where the ice was touching the top of my lid which left very little juice so next time just not so much ice I barely had any juice in cup. Other than that nice place“

“Dude…

This is easily in the top 5 coffee shops I’ve ever visited. Tim is a barista’s barista, pleasant to talk to, knows his craft and ready to share his excitement about coffee. The espresso was delicious, smooth, fragrant, sweet, not overly acidic or bitter. The other drinks celebrate the coffee without distracting from it, something I don’t see nearly as often as I’d like.

The shop itself is a welcoming space, lots of natural light, comfortable environment. Great vibe all the way around.

Prices are absolutely fair considering the quality of service and product I received. I’m absolutely coming back ASAP.“

“An incredible opportunity to live here!!“

“This place is adorable and has a great atmosphere. It has amazing coffee drinks and the staff is always very friendly. I live in Nashville but visit family in the area once a month. Makers is ALWAYS my first stop for an iced latte or a frappe. The baristas take great care with everything they make. Their seasonal menus are always a favorite when I want to try something new and fun“

“Lively! I am not from Birmingham but I am a coffee lover. From Orlando but, I wanted to see something new for a change from the normal city life. Noticed there were allot of coffee shops here than in any city I’ve been to which made it hard to decide on which one I liked to visit more but something about the atmosphere caught my attention. It was quite which made it easier to work. The environment even though it was quiet it felt inviting. The glass made allot of natural light come in and I loved being able to enjoy a good view while working. I definitely would come again even if it’s to relax. Unfortunate I’m not from here. Anyone who enjoys coffee I highly recommend to come here.“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“I had an incredible experience today with Grounds Coffee! Expertly crafted coffee and baristas that made me feel like family!“

“The brew had a strong aroma and a flavor that felt rich and satisfying. The body was smooth, with just enough bitterness to balance the taste. Service was friendly and efficient, adding to the positive experience. The finish lingered pleasantly, leaving a warm aftertaste. Overall, a cup worth coming back for.“

“Super good coffee at reasonable prices with ultra friendly staff!! The building looks like you're about to walk into a bank accidentally but if you believe in yourself and keep walking then you'll make it to the coffee shop and it's a really nice spot to chill and hang out!“

“Colette was a very good server. Food was above average. Bloody Mary wasn't worth the $10.00. However, we get our bill and we are being charged $2.00, a piece, for a biscuit..... WTH??? The menu never mentioned an additional charge for a biscuit, toast, or etc... I even told the brunette waitress that looked like a manager but she was probably the dishwasher. We love the Frothy monkey too but I think you just lost some customers. PM me if like“

“Great place to do Pilates 💛“

“The best place to study in Birmingham“

“I recently had gastric sleeve surgery and have had a terrible time trying to find stuff to drink that is calorie free and no artificial sweeteners. A friend suggested that I try the tropical tea. I did and I was hooked!! Their customer service is amazing and when my order was put on back order, they were so friendly and did everything they could to get my order pushed through.“

“This venue is one of the coolest rooms in B’ham. The staff is friendly and the bands are rockin!“

“Santos Coffee in Hoover offers a unique “crop-to-cup” experience, sourcing beans directly from their family-owned farms in Guatemala. This commitment to quality is evident in their diverse menu, which includes signature drinks like the Basil Lavender Latte, Café Nutella, and a variety of crepes and sandwiches.“

“I stopped by Hello Bakery and was blown away by their delicious croissants—but what really stood out was the owner's kindness! I bought four pastries, and to my surprise, they gifted me a free almond croissant! 😍

Croissant Quality:
The croissants here are perfectly flaky, buttery, and freshly baked. The plain croissant had a crisp exterior with soft, airy layers inside, while the almond croissant (my free treat!) was rich, slightly sweet, and packed with crunchy almond goodness. Absolutely delicious!

Customer Service:
The owner was warm and welcoming, and the free croissant was such a lovely gesture. It’s rare to find a bakery that cares so much about making customers happy!

Final Thoughts:
If you want top-tier croissants and a bakery that goes above and beyond, Hello Bakery is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back—maybe they’ll surprise me again! 😉 Highly recommend! 🥐💛“

“Highly recommend visiting, trying the baked treats and coffees. Delicious😋“

“My favorite local restaurant- delicious food, atmosphere and staff exceptional, and also fun to shop for unique gifts.“

“Great experience! The barista Becca was so friendly and very helpful! 10/10 recommend!“

“just now I was visiting the Birmingham Airport in Alabama and ordered 2 coffees from terminal C and I spilled one of my entire coffees right in front of the store. Quickly an employee sweet as can be came out and helped me clean up while the other employee remade my coffee for FREE without me asking!! It is my first flight and my nerves are shot and this act of kindness from both of your employees made my day better. Thank you starbies!!“

“The employees here are so sweet! I come here all the time and have always had the best service and my drinks are always perfect. Sometimes the lines are a little long, but they are busy because it’s good! Some of these reviews are so disappointing. I hope y’all realize that most of the employees are high school kids and this is a brand new location, so they are all learning still. I think they are doing great!“

“The guy at the window was super friendly and made my morning! Sorry I didn’t get your name😊 Fantastic service and drinks this morning!!“

“Used to go here regularly for cappuccinos, but they were always inconsistent and many times were cold or tasted like old shots. There were also a few times I'd go in the drive-thru and would wait for 5+ minutes with nobody answering. Not sure if this has changed, since I only go inside now.

However, their pastries and non-coffee drinks are always great.“

“My first time to order a coffee at the "new" Starbucks inside the remodeled Target. Starbucks was moved over to what was once the small in-store snack/cafeteria and it also got a nice remodel,. I ordered a regular coffee and the server asked if I wanted a flavor with it so I asked for vanilla and the drink was great - I really liked it as I have found most "regular" coffees in Starbucks are too bitter for my taste and required me to add much cream. This new Starbucks is nice, clean and lighting is great.“

“The Cedar House Cafeteria has been in business fourty-nine years in the same location. Throughout the years there have been changes made here and there but the quality of the food and service has always been
remarkable. Stop by and enjoy this iconic landmark and see for yourself what has kept the doors
open all this time. Delicious food, prompt friendly service all at a great price. You will become a regular Cedar House patron too!!“

“Great atmosphere. So glad there's another place like this in Birmingham! Great Coffee, great pastries, and fantastic entertainment. Can't wait to come back for a show to try some of their cocktails! After hearing about the owners sister who was killed by a metra train, it's so inspiring to see her keep thriving and keeping her sister's memory alive. ❤️❤️“

“as far as the Buddhist 8 fold path applies. I believe everyone at Starbucks and Starbucks corporation has right lively hood. a righteous way to make a living.“

“We absolutely love RedCar Creamery!“

“great doughnuts would try again“

“Quiet,small,intimate setting. We were initially sat in the middle of dining room, close to lobby, but was told we could move if we didn't like the area. We did ask to move and it was no trouble at all to the staff. Hosted by James, and waited by Olivia, they couldn't have been more accommodating. We had the Valentines Day meal, filet and duck breast, and it was wonderful. Chimmichurri meatballs for a starter was the suprise of the meal! Afterwards we visited the rooftop bar for a awesome view! Will definitely be back. A++“

“Quick order ahead service!“
