50 Best Coffee Shops near Mountain Brook

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

“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.“

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

“Breakfast was great and prices nice .“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this gems from walking in , friendly service and quality. Jalapeño bagel was yummy and my latte was perfect . I forgot to ask to make it less sweet, but it was perfect like I want it too.“

“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 was my first time here and everything was excellent. My Turtle latte and the quick friendly service was great. My drink was how coffee drinks should be where the coffee shines over the flavors. I can't wait to return the next time I'm in Birmingham.“

“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.“

“I actually really like this location and the drinks are great but only this time they filled my drink up with ice to where the ice was touching the top of my lid which left very little juice so next time just not so much ice I barely had any juice in cup. Other than that nice place“

“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!“

“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.“

“On the menu, you’ll find a thoughtful variety of espresso drinks, pour-overs, and seasonal specials. Their house blends are praised for balancing brightness and depth.  During the fall, Baba Java’s specialty drinks like the Pumpkin Pie Latte and Flannel Camel show they aren’t afraid to experiment with flavor.  The Pumpkin Pie Latte delivers subtle sweetness without overwhelming, while the Flannel Camel’s mix of cold brew, maple, and nutty notes is a win over ice.“

“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!“

“Amazing coffee and super kind owners! My favorite coffee beans in the Birmingham area hands down.“

“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!“

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

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to the Vestavia Hills Fire Department for responding and arriving so fast at our house yesterday. We had an emergency and the whole crew showed up so quick. Thank you to all the guys.“

“The best place to study in Birmingham“

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

“I absolutely love this place! literally, this place is absolutely phenomenal. there's two separate bartenders that are there on any given morning... both these girls are absolutely fantastic. both of them are really really pretty and they've got amazing attitudes, they've always got a smile on their face and what's amazing is, you can walk in on a Monday morning like this morning, knowing it's Monday and it's overcast and those two girls were laughing and cutting up and smiling and it just put you in a really really really amazing mood to start your day. I'm of the belief that if we can be around people that can brighten our day, then we definitely should. these girls start my morning off on a positive foot. I don't feel like a customer, honestly I try to bring them either energy drinks or donuts and then eat the world's greatest biscuits and gravy, that gravy is absolutely amazing, and there's always a smile on their face, it's always an amazing time and I look forward to each time I come which is about 3 or 4 days a week. the stores always really clean, and it smells amazing. the restrooms are always in great condition, sitting at the bars amazing, there's never food left around or sitting around, they're quick to clean up the tables, these girls really run the show, and everybody else in the background does an amazing job too. really thankful for this place, and I'm really glad that I get to be a part of the BBB family! Yall rock“

“Great coffee and friendly staff!“

“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“

“I always have a great experience here! Particularly, another customer accidentally took my order from the pick up area, and after I explained the situation to the employee, they were quick to make it right and apologize, even when it was not their fault.

Additionally, this Starbucks is an awesome study environment and is kept extremely clean!!“

“Food was good, but everything was cold. Really like the place the staff is excellent. Wish they would concentrate on making sure that the food arrives hot.“

“The best place to study in Birmingham“

“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.“

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