“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“

“Best service with a smile here and good food too.
Came back today and I can't recall the last time I had BETTER service in a drive thru. Promptly took my order, didn't have to repeat anything. Then, same at food pickup knew which drink was which...friendly, asked me how I was doing. The food, oh the food. On point. Except one tiny thing...bacon was crisp I like it floppy...or medium rare. But no big deal sandwich was A-ok. The drink, a coke, burned ALL the way down!! My mother's Dr Pepper, same. Her food was just fine too.“

“Punchlove is one of my most favorite Birmingham coffee shops! They have incredible coffee, pastries, and non-coffee drinks! I especially love the sarcastic, seasonal menu. They have a lot of unique flavors and menu items–– I'm a big fan of the Punchies–– as well as a plethora of dairy-free drink options.

Great atmosphere with beautiful plants, and the owner is super knowledgeable about coffee. However, I wouldn't recommend this spot if you're planning to do work or focus. They don't offer wi-fi and have a no laptop policy on the weekends.

Dietary restrictions: Dairy-Free“

“An incredible opportunity to live here!!“

“I love just a classic cold brew and their everything bagels they offer!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“Awesome addition to the Crestwood neighborhood!“

“Amazing place! If you’re looking through these reviews trying to decide if you want to try it. Just go!! The coffee is amazing, the staff is amazing, the food options are amazing, they have a place for kids to play and that’s amazing, my first date with my fiancée was at makers and she’s amazing, they do trivia night…. Amazing! I can’t think of anything else to say right now or I would put it in this comment but try this place IT’S AMAZING!“

“So lucky to have this shop right down the street from my home office. As a busy Realtor in Birmingham, its a perfect place to meet with clients and business partners--light, whimsical and great coffee. You MUST try items on the seasonal menu featuring Domestique Coffee. Support local. Great stuff. Friendly staff.“

“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.“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“I purchased the 20 Oz Americano with vanilla, Simple Syrup, and heavy whipping cream. It was pretty good. I didn't eat anything, but I noticed someone eating a sandwich, and it looked delicious.

I gave the Atmosphere a 3 star... the chairs are hard with this really long bench, and I would remove that and do the cushioned chairs that they have in place of that.“

“I love this restaurant. I am a flight attendant and was in town for a layover and I decided to get brunch because I was going through a really hard time. It was actually my mom‘s death anniversary and I was struggling. I ordered brunch and a carafe of mimosas to myself and Riley (staff) actually came to talk with me and I really needed that. The staff seem to care about their jobs and their customers. Even while dealing with difficult people they kept their composure and grace. I would definitely go back if I’m in Birmingham again.“

“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!“

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

“great doughnuts would try again“

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