15 Best Coffee Shops near Chelsea

“First time at a Scooters and we were blown away. These are drive-through only, fyi. Mid-afternoon on a Saturday there was no line, but even then our order was ready incredibly fast. Both the person taking our order and the person working the window were unfailingly cheerful and helpful.

Got a large Oreo Blender and it was fantastic! Could really taste the Oreo, and plenty of drink.

Parking: This is a drive-through only coffee shop“

“Food was very freshly made and delicious, but a little messily put together - McDonald’s signature, I suppose. They got all of our custom orders right the first time and checked on us before and during our meal inside. The play place makes it family friendly. Overall one of the better McDonald’s I’ve been to and the best in the area. The kids love happy meals and we will drive out of our way to go to this store even if another is closer.“

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

“Love this place and the owners!!! Such a wonderful business.“

“Literally my favorite “mom and pop” coffee place to go too. They are good every single time and everyone that works there is so nice. I’d rather give my money to a “small business” place and the prices are still not as high as Starbucks and are so much better. The whipped cream is also so freaking good pls try it.“

“In my opinion, the best coffee on Shelby County’s side of Highway 280. Have always been a fan of their location in Hoover so when they announced a new location here, I was excited. Great news is their coffee has the same amazing taste as their Hoover location. Highly recommend it to any coffee lovers here on this side of town“

“I usually get a drip coffee with steamed heavy cream but today I got a lavender iced matcha. It was so good I had to finally leave a review. LOL.

I am a regular at Santos Mountain Brook. I've tried several of your locations (and other local coffee shops) and Santos Mountain Brook is HANDS DOWN my favorite. I could be bias but it's probably your best location, service wise. The entire crew - from Austin, Alex, Collette, to alllllllll my girls (yes, they are mine because they treat me like I'm family LOL) - AND the strong smooth drip coffee really makes my day. You all really scored big when you established this environment. I've yet to find a coffee shop where I look forward to giving my money, as well as getting up on a Saturday morning just to get to my favorite table.

Thank you Santos for bringing this location to the neighborhood.“

“We walked up right at closing time and we were reading the menu and hours on the door. The owner opened the door and offered to serve us, 5 of us. The churros were amazing and the service was exceptional. I’m only in Birmingham every few weeks- but will be stopping by each time for a treat! Thank you going out of your way to let us try your amazing churros!“

“Very nice people great food“

“Food was good, but everything was cold. Really like the place the staff is excellent. Wish they would concentrate on making sure that the food arrives hot.“

“The employee worker at the window this morning was so kind. I can’t remember their name but I think it was Jason. Anyways, he had an amazing personality and truly made my day. We need more people to spread kindness in this world like him.“

“The best place to study in Birmingham“

“I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to the Vestavia Hills Fire Department for responding and arriving so fast at our house yesterday. We had an emergency and the whole crew showed up so quick. Thank you to all the guys.“

“Great atmosphere! The ham quiche is absolutely delicious“

“Love This Starbucks Location“
