“I stop at the Starbucks anytime I’m coming from Central Alabama to Huntsville, which is quite often. The drinks are always PERFECTION!! Bathrooms are clean, which is a super plus especially for a lady who’s traveling“

“Food was hot and accurate. Manager was friendly. Restaurant appeared clean, including the restroom. The woman standing at the register however doing nothing didn't even great me or say a word to me. She just stood there with a big frown on her face and hand on her hip. Also, why charge $0.40 just to add mayo? I've never been to a McDonald's that charges to remove ketchup, mustard, and add mayo. I just don't think it's fair to charge to substitute a sauce for another. The owners of this location must be very greedy.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Awesome addition to the Crestwood neighborhood!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Beautiful little spot to shop, sip, and socialize! I had been in here once before, a few years ago, and they were still developing their style as a coffee place, but they've definitely found their niche, and it is amazing! Their flavor add-ons are inventive - the barista suggested their Herbalicious, a blend of lavender, rosemary, mint, and thyme, with vanilla syrup, and it was such a soft, delicate flavor that was sweet, herbal, and delicious, and truly shone through in a creamy oat milk latte, which I did not expect. I tried a couple of their bonbons, and they are well worth the price; the sea salt caramel was gooey, salty, and sweet, while the strawberry lemon is a revelation of flavor. It's an added bonus that the coffee and the other ingredients are sustainably sourced and dietary restriction friendly, the atmosphere and character of the entire place are eclectic and creative, and the baristas were so patient and helpful. Truly, a must-see place for anyone wanting a unique and beautiful experience in the Magic City!“

“This local coffee shop is such a gem! The quality of the coffee is absolutely outstanding. The best part is the coffee is locally sourced. Emma was a pleasure to meet. So grateful to have a spot like this close to home!“

“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.“

“Arrived appx 8:45a on a Sunday, no wait for a table and service was prompt. Coffee and breakfast came out quickly and was delicious! I had biscuits with chorizo gravy, roasted red peppers (not spicy) and fried eggs. Great job, Frothy Monkey!“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“Love them,, They are very accommodating and polite with great hours“

“great doughnuts would try again“

“I held a dinner party for my husband's birthday there this past Saturday evening. Current had been enthusiastically recommended and it did not disappoint. A couple of us arrived a bit early for a cocktail before the rest of the party arrived. The hosts and the bartenders were friendly, punctual, attentive, and excellent. Our server and the rest of the staff during the dinner were all fantastic. The overall vibe of the restaurant was very inviting, not at all pretentious, and comparable to any 5-Star restaurant we've ever experienced - without any of the superfluous fancy bull. Haha. But it's true. This was a great experience from valet arrival to valet departure. Thank you, Current, for a truly great evening!“

“buenos productos de calidad“

“Quick order ahead service!“

“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.“

“12 doughnuts for $25 and not fresh and not filled well. But the staff was pleasant courteous and friendly. Greeted with a smile. They store was out of somethings but suggested others. This team makes it a joy to come to.this store location. Clean on the inside and outside. Will come back and try something else.“

“We met my parents here for breakfast and had the best service and food. The food was hot and they were super fast. The employees and the manager checked on us a couple of times as well. Would visit here again“
