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.“

“My partner and I were in town from California and this place is the ticket for true coffee consumers. Clean space with a great vibe . The coffee is fantastic and the staff is spot on and friendly. Can t wait to return. Thanks guys“

“Been meaning to try this place out for a while, and finally had the time to today! Such a cute atmosphere, the staff was super friendly, and the service was quick! Not terribly crowded at all, and everyone there was just chill and having a good time by the looks of it. I will be returning when I can! The iced coffee I got was also very scrumptious, just what I needed this morning ^^“

“Friendly staff and customer service is wonderful. Drinks are unique and they are always coming up with new seasonal flavors. We love you guys.“

“Love this gems from walking in , friendly service and quality. Jalapeño bagel was yummy and my latte was perfect . I forgot to ask to make it less sweet, but it was perfect like I want it too.“

“We had a nice lunch on the patio and enjoyed our coffees and sandwiches. The cortado was not sweet, ymmv, and the cold brew was good, not weak nor very acrid. We enjoyed a Japanese egg salad sando, a schmancy BLT, and this avocado toast with a medium-fried egg that was fantastic. The service was great and they also offer pastries from the nearby Last Call Bakery that looked delicious. It was a little pricey, thus the 4-star. Despite this, we already have plans to return.“

“Great place to hang out and work/study! Great staff and delicious coffee plus try a homemade poptart if available!“

“My first visit was today and I loved it! This place is so cute and the coffee is delicious. I will be returning soon!!!“

“Awesome addition to the Crestwood neighborhood!“

“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“

“An incredible opportunity to live here!!“

“I've practically lived here for the past month while studying for a difficult board exam. I love how the drinks are very customizable, and the general vibe has to be my favorite of any of the coffee shops in Birmingham. Super friendly employees too.“

“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.“

“This coffee is located inside the Region's center downtown and open to the public. The ladies who run and manage the place are amazing and always have a smile on their faces. The coffee and treats are sweet. If you don't know what to choose, they are more than welcome to recommend a drink based on what you like. Keep up the good work ladies.“

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

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“I usually enjoy 7 Brew drinks, but my recent visit was disappointing. The server brought my drink out while digging in his mouth, which felt unprofessional and unhygienic. Handling drinks while touching your face can make customers uneasy, especially when it comes to food safety. I hope management addresses this so future visits feel cleaner and more professional. Overall the drinks are great, but the service experience needs improvement.“

“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.“

“I had the chipotle tex-mex bowl with brown rice and chicken. It was probably the best bowl I had in a long time, all the ingredients went together really well and the sauce was, wow. Service was good and the food was ready in under 5 min. Will definitely come back.“

“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“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“K & J’s elegant pastries suggested I go to Santos coffee so I walked around the corner. I wasn’t sure what to order so I asked for suggestions so I Got me a large iced caramel coffee. It was so good. I wish I wasn’t in a hurry I really liked to have checked this place out a little longer. Really good vibe and the smell of coffee is so relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place and I definitely will be going back again.“

“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.“

“The best place to study in Birmingham“

“I am a 7 Brew lover and have been for awhile now. I basically begged the mayor for one here. I’m so happy that we finally have a location closer so I don’t have to drive 30 mins one way for a drink. Yes, this one is a little slow.. but I don’t mind the wait. I can see how that would be annoying for some people though. It has definitely gotten better recently. I go to 7B pretty much every day, sometimes twice a day and enjoy talking to the employees that I see regularly 😃“

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

“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! 🥐💛“

“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!!“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Very great ice cream and great people. Would highly recommend stopping in!!“

“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!!“
