“I was in Alabama for work this week and went to this location multiple times daily for my must-have morning/afternoon coffee.

I got the seasonal coconut vanilla latte, it was incredible! Espresso was never burnt, the color was perfect- if you know what I mean- and tasted like coffee still. Staff was so welcoming and friendly in each visit. 1100% recommend!!“

“Breakfast was great and prices nice .“

“Great experience would recommend“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Good vibes in the area … ☮️“

“Been meaning to try this place out for a while, and finally had the time to today! Such a cute atmosphere, the staff was super friendly, and the service was quick! Not terribly crowded at all, and everyone there was just chill and having a good time by the looks of it. I will be returning when I can! The iced coffee I got was also very scrumptious, just what I needed this morning ^^“

“Love this place and the owners!!! Such a wonderful business.“

“Delicious special Beverages!! Such quality!! We are so lucky to have y’all in our community! Thank y’all for supporting Oak Mountain Elementary School! ❤️💙“

“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.“

“We are lucky to have a place like this in Birmingham! My *only* change would be to get rid of the longer tables and cap groups at 4 people for indoor seating for listening parties- bigger groups inherently have louder conversations and sometimes that can interfere slightly with the “intentional listening” experience.
Food is consistent and reasonably priced, the drinks are well made, and the service is friendly, but go for the music!“

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

“Best mini’s around Made fresh while you wait“

“Top notch customer service! Greatly appreciate the sweet angel barista who made a fabulous lavender fog latte and ginger mint mocktail and then brought out the biohazard kit like a true professional. Ten out of ten. Great place to ... 😅😬“

“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.“

“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.“

“I happened into this location today and was VERY pleased…Bert, Harper and the Team were incredibly hospitable, welcoming and friendly…the coffee was top-notch…I’ve already told 5 people about them this afternoon…check these folks out in Bluff Park!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I have a good experience at every 7 Brew location I visit. There can be a long line at peak times but they are still always fast and friendly. Plus this music blasting outside and the door vibes always make it fun. I always order coffee but have heard their energy drinks are tasty as well!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“Ruby Sunshine Homewood was kind enough to donate delicious Sausage and Bacon to our brunch for Labeled and Loved Jefferson County Sisterhood Circle. We are a support group for special needs moms. The managers Marsha and Andrew were very professional .Your generosity was much appreciated❤️ See you soon!“

“Great atmosphere. So glad there's another place like this in Birmingham! Great Coffee, great pastries, and fantastic entertainment. Can't wait to come back for a show to try some of their cocktails! After hearing about the owners sister who was killed by a metra train, it's so inspiring to see her keep thriving and keeping her sister's memory alive. ❤️❤️“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“I usually enjoy 7 Brew drinks, but my recent visit was disappointing. The server brought my drink out while digging in his mouth, which felt unprofessional and unhygienic. Handling drinks while touching your face can make customers uneasy, especially when it comes to food safety. I hope management addresses this so future visits feel cleaner and more professional. Overall the drinks are great, but the service experience needs improvement.“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Best pastry shop in Alabama! I dropped by this morning to get a ham & cheese croissant and an apple danish. I devoured them both. One bite of the croissant and dozens of crisp flaky shards fell into my lap. It was perfect. The apple danish was like an elevated apple pie. I’m not sure what type of cream was under the apples, but I loved it. Hello Bakery is a must visit if you’re in Birmingham. Also, the shop owner (I’m assuming) was very kind. I will definitely be back whenever I’m in town.“

“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“

“This coffee is located inside the Region's center downtown and open to the public. The ladies who run and manage the place are amazing and always have a smile on their faces. The coffee and treats are sweet. If you don't know what to choose, they are more than welcome to recommend a drink based on what you like. Keep up the good work ladies.“

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

“We stopped by for a Dubai crepe and had an iced Aden latte and they were both absolutely delicious! The space was incredibly warm and welcoming and really allows for you to take a step back and relax. I definitely recommend this spot! Take that extra moment to step out of your car and enjoy the space!“

“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.“

“East 59 Cafe in Lee Branch is my favorite spot for a coffee, lunch or even alone time. I have had several birthday parties held here and will continue to go to them. Thank you always for the kindness shown to my son, daughter and I. All the best!“

“I had the chipotle tex-mex bowl with brown rice and chicken. It was probably the best bowl I had in a long time, all the ingredients went together really well and the sauce was, wow. Service was good and the food was ready in under 5 min. Will definitely come back.“

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

“Great coffee and friendly staff!“

“Excellent cafeteria style food! Love the hamburger steak, the sausage with kraut, and the baked catfish! Always plenty of great sides to go with them. Great food and great people! They've been a staple of Tarrant for at least 30 years, probably longer!“

“Celebrated with a group in Chez Lulu. The atmosphere was great and the food quality and assortment was nothing short of amazing! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. My favs were the Greek pizza and chocolate Potacreme.“
