Get ready for sticker shock. Good food and convenient drinks, but the prices on the menu are very inaccurate. Two pimento cheese sandwiches and a drink should have cost nearly exactly $25 after tax, but I paid more than $29 before tip.

The girl at the register confirmed that the prices on the menu are wrong.

First time I've ever been. Best latte I've had in a long time. Definitely top 3 best lattes I've ever had. Way better than these chain stores. You're missing out if you don't go

Definitely a quick and easy place to stop and thank goodness the baristas are patience when you’re indecisive.

I was looking for something quick and easy for lunch. This came up on my Yelp search. I hadn’t realized it’s only a drive-thru until I got there. However, it worked just fine.

They have a drive through on both sides of the building. A young man helped me promptly. I ordered the chicken salad and a Vulcan iced latte.

The chicken salad pack comes with pita chips and hummus. The chicken salad was delicious. The amount they put on the sandwich is generous. The hummus was a tiny scoop for the number of pita chips. You can order extra hummus for an additional charge, however.

The latte was good and strong. I love a bold coffee. However, it wasn’t as smooth as I prefer my coffee. It had a bit of a bitter punch like Starbucks. The flavor was good though and I did finish it.

The menu is limited for food options, but for a quick and easy lunch or coffee, it’s perfect!

If you’re a true coffee lover, this is not the place for you. Convenient location and they were quick; however, the drinks we got were not drinkable.

Extraordinary drinks and service. They remember so many customers' orders and name, by face! They are customer-focused 100%.

I ordered an iced Broadway, it was delish! I also ordered the Pimento Cheese Box, I know it came with pita chips but I was not expecting to see what looks like the bottom of the bag, leftover, tiny broken chips.

Great little coffee kiosk in Birmingham not far from Vulcan Park. Delicious breakfast sandwiches and amazing coffees. Service is always friendly. One of our must-do stops whenever we travel through Birmingham!

Tried this spot after mixed see the google reviews and was so disappointed. The espresso was sooo bitter! Either they’re not well trained on pulling espresso shots or they’re brewing low quality beans. The girl working was less than happy to be taking my order. Sadly I won’t be back.

Girl with beanie hat and brown eyes acted inconvenienced when Im the one who had to drive back there to get what we spent over thirty dollars for lol. I left really confused at the whole thing.

So I told her the three things again when I drove back up but she was listening to a coworker and she immediately said the wrong order to them! Then acted annoyed when I told her again. I was clear as day, she just wasnt paying attention- twice! Absentmindedness is one thing, but she was RUDE.
I never write negative reviews but this was a bad way to start the day. There was no “oh, our bad!” Or “sorry about that” it was like I had asked for something off menu and then tried to pay with rolls of quarters. Just treated me like a problem customer. Left such a bad impression.

The cappuccino was standard (was really pleased with at least that) and the pimento sausage biscuit was really good. Not going to go back any time soon because I dont want that kind of interaction when I pay over thirty dollars. My bar for customer service is low, Im easy, just dont treat me like a nuisance when youre in the wrong and Im paying for food..

Didn’t mix coffee so all coffee on top and all sweet caramel and chocolate on bottom. I will give it another try though.
