My niece , mom and me came here on a Saturday morning to kill a little time before heading somewhere else. I was the only one that ordered a drink and of course I got a Cortado. It was delicious and wonderfully made! The gentleman working ( the owner) was so friendly and accommodating- definitely made this a great experience! Adventurer's coffee co is a great addition to downtown Calera & they are still going strong 7 years later!!!

I'm so glad Calera finally has a fun, geeky coffee shop/bar/gaming shop! Decorated with themes from…read moreHarry Potter to the fantasy world of the Hobbit, this space has something for every geek. I've been a couple of times now, and I've enjoyed my experience each time. They offer brewed coffee and handcrafted espresso drinks, plus teas from local favorite Piper and Leaf. The atmosphere is very laid back. One side is the coffee shop side, with an eclectic collection of soft sofas and tables and chairs. If you go through an opening in the wall that looks very similar to the entrance of the dungeon, you'll find the gaming shop, an area for D and D players, and a bar that serves a limited selection of beer and wine. It's definitely worth the drive to check out this unique spot. Check the

Wasabi Japanese Sushi is a hidden gem in Alabaster. I was immediately greeted by the friendly and…read morehelpful staff as soon as I walked in. I ordered various things to go and it was hard choosing because it all sounded so good. I ended up going with a volcano bowl, Hawaii bowl, Columbus roll, and two sushi tacos (spicy tuna and ahi tuna). The Columbus roll was fresh, and tasted so good it was gone quickly. The volcano bowl was amazing. The yuzu wasabi sauce tied everything together. The bowls are all one size but it was a good amount of food. The sushi tacos are unique, and you won't find anything like it in the area. The seaweed shells weren't my favorite because the texture was a little crunchy yet chewy at the same time which made it hard to take bites. However they were still tasty, just paled in comparison to the other options! All in all, this was a 10/10.

It came with an orchid! The food was delicious. The sauce and rice were perfect. We got crap Rangoon's for the app and they were delicious and the dipping sauce was delish. On a random note... it was hot inside when we got there and I'm one to ask for comfort... they immediately turned on the AC for me. They're the best.

The store smelled wonderful, and my eyes were immediately treated to all the fabulous items for sale.

I waited longer than I desired with the cashier asking for multiple updates and thanks to her for a card for free appetizer for the wait.

Starbucks - My Go-To for a Sweet Pick-Me-Up…read more Stopped by Starbucks drive-thru and grabbed my all-time favorite: the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappe, decaf with coconut milk. It was just as delicious and refreshing as ever. Paired it with a classic cheese danish, which was perfectly flaky and tasty as always. Service was quick and efficient, making it easy to get my caffeine fix (or in this case, decaf treat) on the go. Perfect for when you want a sweet, casual coffee break without the wait.

I was excited to see the crowded parking lot when we arrived. Still ample parking was available. It's been 2 years since my last review so I had forgotten the setup. Basically you find a table (inside or outside) and they come take your order. We opted to sit inside. Our server, Madison was sooooo good! I really enjoyed interacting with her and she made this experience fantastic! She was very efficient and had a great personality. All of the staff were amazing & hardworking! I ordered a wine flight. I did good picking out 4 delicious wines. My fav was the Grenache Rose! So refreshing, crisp and just down right very satisfying! For food we kept it light. We split the Brie cranberry and almond app and I just had to try that hot honey peach cheesecake. We enjoyed both selections so much! Unfortunately, August 10th is their last day of operation. I definitely recommend supporting this local business if you can. I plan to go back to purchase some wines and also to attend events they have planned.
