22 Best Coffee Shops near Chelsea

“Since Scooter’s showed up as a sponsor for the Shelby County Reporter Football show we regularly visit the Chelsea & Inverness locations. Great breakfast with a nice simple menu & by far the best smoothies in town. Service is always quick, courteous, & friendly. The only thing that would make it any better would be a location in Mt. Laurel. Great job guys!“

“We only do breakfast here. It’s always busy but the line moves very quick. Once in a while my hashbrowns will be burned but that’s forgivable in a place that does such high volume. Only issue is I can’t hear people through the drive-through speaker. They’re asking about some digital app something or other and I have no idea what that is. They kind of mumble that.“

“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.“

“This was my first time here and everything was excellent. My Turtle latte and the quick friendly service was great. My drink was how coffee drinks should be where the coffee shines over the flavors. I can't wait to return the next time I'm in Birmingham.“

“On the menu, you’ll find a thoughtful variety of espresso drinks, pour-overs, and seasonal specials. Their house blends are praised for balancing brightness and depth.  During the fall, Baba Java’s specialty drinks like the Pumpkin Pie Latte and Flannel Camel show they aren’t afraid to experiment with flavor.  The Pumpkin Pie Latte delivers subtle sweetness without overwhelming, while the Flannel Camel’s mix of cold brew, maple, and nutty notes is a win over ice.“

“Service is inconsistent. I’ve encountered extremely kind baristas and some that could be more accommodating and friendly to customers. The baristas are key to me being a returning customer. Once I experience one person who is unkind, I don’t want to return.“

“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.“

“I always have a great experience here! Particularly, another customer accidentally took my order from the pick up area, and after I explained the situation to the employee, they were quick to make it right and apologize, even when it was not their fault.

Additionally, this Starbucks is an awesome study environment and is kept extremely clean!!“

“I absolutely love this place! literally, this place is absolutely phenomenal. there's two separate bartenders that are there on any given morning... both these girls are absolutely fantastic. both of them are really really pretty and they've got amazing attitudes, they've always got a smile on their face and what's amazing is, you can walk in on a Monday morning like this morning, knowing it's Monday and it's overcast and those two girls were laughing and cutting up and smiling and it just put you in a really really really amazing mood to start your day. I'm of the belief that if we can be around people that can brighten our day, then we definitely should. these girls start my morning off on a positive foot. I don't feel like a customer, honestly I try to bring them either energy drinks or donuts and then eat the world's greatest biscuits and gravy, that gravy is absolutely amazing, and there's always a smile on their face, it's always an amazing time and I look forward to each time I come which is about 3 or 4 days a week. the stores always really clean, and it smells amazing. the restrooms are always in great condition, sitting at the bars amazing, there's never food left around or sitting around, they're quick to clean up the tables, these girls really run the show, and everybody else in the background does an amazing job too. really thankful for this place, and I'm really glad that I get to be a part of the BBB family! Yall rock“

“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 best place to study in Birmingham“

“Seriously the best Starbucks in town. Employees are friendly, fast, and they make the best chai tea lattes (I add some extra pumps and they always get that right). Consistent, accurate, and kind. I happily drive out of my way to come to this one at least 3xs a week (I’m one of the Starbucks addicts).“

“Wonderful experience! This is a family-owned, boutique-style bistro, where the owners are directly involved in every detail and experience of their business. My experience: excellent coffee recommendations - delicious blend of Mexican hot chocolate and espresso. The Churro Bites were warm with the perfect texture. The shoppe itself is so clean, classically designed, and beautifully decorated. The coffee! Jasmine’s intentionality in choosing blends that are complimentary to the ice cream selection (and the churros) - that is beautiful attention to details most people take for granted.“

“East 59 Cafe in Lee Branch is my favorite spot for a coffee, lunch or even alone time. I have had several birthday parties held here and will continue to go to them. Thank you always for the kindness shown to my son, daughter and I. All the best!“
