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

“This is an awesome Latin-owned coffee shop, right here in bham. Everyone who works here is always welcoming. And, perhaps most importantly, the coffee is excellent. The shots are consistent and the beans are great. Oscar who manages the store knows his stuff. I always end up getting the horchata latte because it was too good to pass up after I tried it once, but perhaps one day I will branch out. Glad to see the stickers keep growing on the tables :)“

“As soon as I walked in they punched me....with love and the best coffee experience I've ever had. Punch Love continues to exceed expectations in customer service & sweet beans.

I love the vibe - open to where you don't feel like you're touching shoulders with strangers, yet still cozy with plants & local art.

I've been coming by at least 3 days a week for the past month. I feel my money is well spent and appreciated at Punch Love. Quality is truly unmatched!“

“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.“

“OMG! 10/10 I RECOMMEND!!!

“Bought my first bag today. Bought the Honduras Ground Bag! Delicious! The Owner was very knowledgeable, and so sweet! I learned a few things and I've been making coffee for years! And they deliver fresh ground ! Great Coffee Experience ☕️😋“

“An incredible opportunity to live here!!“

“This place has such a great vibe! The coffee itself is not the greatest compared to other coffee shops but it's still good. The atmosphere is so fun! Very nostalgic with all the old retro video games. They have so many board games, gaming set ups, XL checkers, etc. it was very busy and seemed to be super popular spot!“

“I love city bowls! i have tried several locations and this one does take longer than the others which i think is because of understaffing (which I know is out of their control). But that’s the only negative I have about this location, otherwise just as good and nice as the others!“

“Awesome addition to the Crestwood neighborhood!“

“I came in yesterday for something cold and tasty and Santos did me right! Savannah and Bridget are friendly, hospitable, and know how to make a fantastic Chai - sweetened with Fennel?! That is unique. Grateful to have a solid coffee spot in MB.“

“Oh man where do I start??! The taste of this coffee is divine. The baristas are quick and kind, easily able to become your next besties. This place has not just coffee, but also REAL chai and REAL matcha from REAL ethical and sustainable sources. Need a snack? They’ve got everything from full breakfast meals to snacks before lunch to lunchtime sandwiches. All of this and it’s conveniently located in the downtown region center see you can pop by before doing your banking business! There anything more convenient or helpful??? You’ve got to try this place out I know you’ll fall in love with it <3“

“One of the best white mochas I’ve had in a long time. My mom got a London fog and my grandma got a vanilla latte. We each ordered a different type of toast. Everything was delicious and fantastic! Next time I’m in town, I will be coming back here!“

“Greeted by friendly faces and a chill atmosphere while I fill my cup (both literal and socially) so I can pour into others. The owners are so kind. I love finding local small businesses to support. Will bring my sister with me next time I'm in the area.“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“I stopped by the location in Montgomery by chance a few weeks ago, and loved their coffee. Was so pleased to see we have our own location in Birmingham as well! I got the cold brew with macadamia milk, and it was great! The store is bright and airy, and the baristas are helpful, kind, and efficient. There is street parking nearby for visitors.

Vegetarian options: bagels, pastries, yogurt, dairy and nondairy milk.

Dietary restrictions: Offers macadamia milk and oatmilk“

“I liked the Mayan coffee and the stoic service. I don't know what happened to my hearing that day but I had the hardest time understanding the barista. She took it in stride and after my third fumble she started speaking with an accentuation that bordered on the theatrical and a smile that showed more empathy than frustration or sarcasm. I guess a white beard comes with benefits.“

“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.“

“Friendly service and delicious food & bev :) I had a pimento cheese & sausage biscuit + a white chocolate & caramel latte ... PERFECT for Saturday morning errands!“

“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! 🥐💛“

“Cozy coffee shop in the heart of Homewood. Excellent customer service and atmosphere.“

“⭐️💵 ROCKS! ☕️ Got my Limited Edition, reusable Holiday cup! Peppermint Blonde White Chocolate Mocha!“

“Stopped into Santos Coffee & Bar Uptown for a quick breakfast snack while attending a convention at the BJCC, and it was a nice little find. I grabbed the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant — it was good, warm, and hit the spot, though not the best I’ve had.

What really stood out, though, was the strawberry smoothie — excellent flavor, refreshing, and made just right. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area and need a quick boost.

Friendly staff, good vibe, and a convenient spot to escape the convention bustle for a few minutes. Solid 4 out of 5 stars from me — and I’d go back for that smoothie alone.“

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

“Locally owned, hole in the wall venue, friendly service, amazing breakfast! Highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by and visit at least once. The fried pork chop and egg breakfast is second to none. The western or meat lovers omelette is absolutely delicious! The French toast is not for the diabetic with its extremely flavorful cinnamon and powdered sugar topping. Another recommended breakfast choice is asking for grilled toast, you'll think me later!
If you live close or traveling through, you need to visit our friends over at the cedar house and experience the local food!“

“OMG !! I don’t know why I have not stopped here sooner but like everything else God’s timing is right on time.. the ambience and the service the coffee is amazing the staff is so very sweet this was my first visit and I order an Iced latte and it was absolutely amazing .. the cherry on top was the staff ..they were so kind patient and I can appreciate gratitude with great customer service.. I 100% recommend.. please excuse the empty cup but it was so good and smooth.. I’m in love some good coffee and this is it ….“

“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.“

“I love them! I usually do the APP and I'm outta there!“
