Coffee Shops near Fultondale

“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!“

“just have to give a big shoutout to the team at the Starbucks in Fultondale—especially Kenjuan and J! Every time I walk in, they greet me with genuine smiles, great energy, and consistently amazing service. Kenjuan has such a positive vibe and always makes sure my drink is perfect. And J? So kind, professional, and makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time.

It’s more than just coffee here—it’s connection, kindness, and that little extra brightness in your day that we all need. Keep it up, y’all! You’ve earned a loyal customer in me.“

“We stopped at this location with our children while traveling and they took such good care of us. Every employee was so kind to us and the kids and the manager was so friendly and helpful towards us! We were so glad we stopped here. It was clean, fast and food was great.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Good vibes in the area … ☮️“

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

“Amazing art, service, and drinks! We got two off the fall specialty menu, both drinks are deeply flavored and perfect for the fall season. Shop is a bit crowded but we just hung out outside in their beautiful allyway until it cleared out a little. Went sat morning 8:30am“

“Awesome addition to the Crestwood neighborhood!“

“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“

“It’s a neat concept but I think the staff may still be working out some operational issues that’s not their fault. We went during a busy time and it came across a bit chaotic.

The staff was friendly trying to navigate the crowd, but the music was very loud (not chill and relaxing as expected) the tables are super close together and you have to order at the counter then try to find a seat, and then they wait on you at the table anyways. I understand it’s supposed to be a lounge but it’s really coming off as more of a busy restaurant but that could just be the new buzz of it. We’ll give it another go hopefully when it’s less crowded.

The food was excellent and we enjoyed our cappuccinos, they’re traditional cappuccinos which we appreciate. It’s very pretty inside and has a nice outdoor patio. I do recommend giving it a shot but try to lookout for less busy times. We want to come back for the live music as well. I definitely see the vision and appreciate the space in bham!“

“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.“

“I was visiting town from Nashville for a concert, and always try a local coffee shop. The barista was fantastic and explained every option in detail. I loved the little cozy, middle-of-town setting in the small strip of restaurants. The coffee was fantastic (shout out to Honest Roasters in Nashville) and the ago toast hit the spot. The have plenty of seating and tables outside as well, to enjoy a coffee outside. Well done!“

“Lee’s is a fantastic addition to the downtown coffee scene! Their menu offers a variety of options, but the classics are good too. I like that you can customize a latte with tons of flavor and add on options. their secret menu is worth checking out too! This will be added to my regular list of places to go and get some work done because they have plenty of space and are open late which I really appreciate!“

“Santos in Homewood is a lively, modern Mexican-inspired restaurant that has quickly become a favorite for locals seeking bold flavors and a fun atmosphere. The interior is bright and colorful, with a casual, welcoming vibe that makes it ideal for date nights, family dinners, or casual gatherings with friends.

The menu focuses on fresh, flavorful dishes with a modern twist on classic Mexican cuisine. Tacos are a highlight—crispy, soft, or grilled, each packed with inventive fillings and vibrant toppings. Burritos, bowls, and quesadillas are equally satisfying, and the restaurant offers plenty of vegetarian options. Sides like chips and guacamole, street corn, and fresh salsas round out the meal perfectly.“

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

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

“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!“

“Very nice hotel !!the staff was very nice and professional“

“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.“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“In the mere month and some change Me Gusta has been open, they have saved me many times from quitting my job because I know I can always look forward to coffee and delicious pastries. I go almost every other day and they’re always friendly, they brew fresh real espresso for their drinks, and their pastries are made in house and fresh every day. Absolutely underrated gem of downtown Birmingham“

“The best place to study in Birmingham“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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! 🥐💛“

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

“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.“

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

“Had great experience. Friendly staff and yummy food with specialty coffee drinks.“

“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.“

“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!!“
