Had a fantastic morning setup here getting some admin work done. The coffee was excellent and the ambiance was very nice. They had a very good food menu as well.

For a Birmingham REALTOR (or anybody else who spends their day on the road), this is a GREAT place to stop in and plan the day. Excellent coffee, staff and atmosphere.

Wow! This is my third time here. Just wow. The coffe is superb and the desserts taste truly home made! I can’t remember I’ve bought baked goods that tasted this good. Also, the service is truly incredible- I had a question and the staff went above and beyond!

Our first time to this sweet café was lovely! Our pistachio coconut latte and cappuccino were delicious. We especially loved the decor inside and flower planters and seating outside. We noticed the friendly staff greeting regulars by name. We will be back to try more of the menu soon!

The staff here are so kind and know everyone by name. The coffee is great and the atmosphere is intimate. The outdoor area is nice for larger groups and inside is great for meeting 1 other person or working/studying by yourself. I highly recommend trying this place out.

I've been to this coffee shop three times in total. The first time was when the previous owner was still running it. The last two visits were under the new ownership — and I have to say, the new owner has made some major improvements, all in the right direction.

There are lots of new items on the menu now. Some of the furniture has been updated, and the overall vibe feels much warmer and more inviting. It has that cozy, charming Swedish touch now — modern yet homey at the same time.

The quality of the coffee is excellent. The food is thoughtfully selected, and you can tell they’re using high-quality ingredients. I was especially impressed with the latte I had — it was made by the owner personally, and it was rich, smooth, and delicious. You can taste the care and quality.

Also, it’s privately owned — not a big corporate chain — which gives it so much more character and authenticity. It truly fits Birmingham well.

That said, while reading other reviews, I came across a 1-star rating that I found really unfair. Someone didn’t like the cheesecake and gave the entire shop 1 star based on just that. Taste in desserts is subjective — plus, cheesecake isn’t even their specialty. The menu has so much more to offer.

More importantly, a café experience isn’t just about one dessert. There’s the coffee, the food, the service, the ambiance — and this place excels in all of those areas. Judging an entire business based on one item feels extremely unjust.

Honestly, platforms like Google should consider ways to filter out overly harsh or disproportionate reviews. Small, independent businesses like this deserve better protection from that kind of noise.

This cute, cozy coffee shop has tasty salads, gluten-free treats, and fun drinks. I had the pistachio coconut latte it was just right, not too milky or watered down.

Worth stopping by!

Rarely take time to leave reviews, but Daycap is certainly an exception. Their lattes are absolutely to die for, and the food is several notches above standard cafe fare. But what really keeps you coming back is the staff—everybody really does make you feel like family. Highly, highly recommend not missing out on one of the coolest new spots in Birmingham!
