Fancy seitan sandwich, vegan coconut cake
Dana S.

Casual eatery with sandwiches, smoothies, and baked goods. The menu is very vegan-friendly with a selection of interesting vegan sandwiches and pastries. The environment was clean and quiet while I was there around 11 am on a weekday. Most people were picking up takeout orders, but they have a nice seating area. I got a fancy seitan sandwich and a vegan coconut cake. The sandwich was very messy but pretty good. It was sort of similar to a gyro. The cake itself was a little dry but not bad. I was disappointed that they only had plastic forks. I have definitely had better vegan food, but this was still pretty good and overall more satisfying than the meagre vegan options at a lot of cafes. I was only in Birmingham for a few days, but if I lived here, I would be back.

My wife & I were in the mood for sandwiches. When we looked up Adam & Eve Cafe, the food looked good & the prices were very reasonable. We both got the BHam Best sandwich with pastrami, Swiss, roasted peppers, avocado & chipotle sauce. It also included a side of baba ganoush with pita bread. It was delicious. The service was good & the ambiance we very comfortable. It was a very pleasant surprise. We both plan to go again...

Yemeni tea
Westyn R.

Yemeni/middle eastern coffee shops have been trending in Birmingham lately and for good reason. They're full of variety and quality. Think of the most delicious pastries , teas and coffees, ice creams, crepes etc. Adam and Eve is the place you order plenty of things to share with a group. There's plenty seating to suit what you're in the mood for. There's comfy chairs, regular tables and booth style seating. You order up front and your order is called out. I ordered a Dubai croissant and a Yemeni tea. The croissant was filled to the brim with cream. It was delicious. I wish the pistachio was mixed a little more with the chocolate, instead of half and half however. It was still delicious. The Yemeni tea was amazing. It will be my go to drink from Adam and Eve on a cold or overcast day. It was soothing and paired perfectly with a sweet treat.

Banana split croissant, biscoff cinnamon roll, oreo cheesecake
Lucy T.

I came here one night with friends for dessert. We each chose one and shared. We had a banana pudding croissant, Oreo cheesecake, and Biscoff cinnamon roll. The Oreo cheesecake was my favorite of them. It was nice trying a little something of everything. The atmosphere inside was nice and inviting. The staff here were all very friendly and hard workers.

Tucked right in the heart of Five Points, Adam and Eve Café is an absolute gem that checks all the boxes -- friendly staff, modern and comfortable seating, and an impressively clean, inviting space. The first thing you notice walking in is the fresh display of fruits and vegetables used for their smoothies -- everything looked vibrant and thoroughly cleaned, which gave me instant confidence in their quality and freshness. I ordered the Five Point Sandwich, made with roast beef, Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, onions, roasted peppers, and jalapeño tomatoes (yes, jalapeño tomatoes -- and they were delicious). Everything came perfectly balanced and fresh on warm pita bread. We also tried the Dubai Croissant (available with pistachio, Nutella, or creamy pistachio filling), and it was so good I completely forgot to take a photo. It's easily one of their bestsellers for a reason -- flaky, rich, and absolutely decadent. For the quality, freshness, and generous portions, the prices were completely fair. Between the service, the atmosphere, and the food, this place deserves every bit of its 5-star rating. Whether you're grabbing a smoothie, coffee, or a full meal, Adam and Eve Café is a must-visit when you're in downtown Birmingham.

Antioxidant smoothie
Emily C.

This was my first time trying Adam and Eve, and I was impressed with their large pastry selection. I went with some friends and was able to snag bites of a variety of items. While I didn't order any pastries myself, I tried bites of the Cinnamon Roll, Biscoff Cannoli, and the Tuscan Panini. The Cinnamon Roll was alright, nothing out of this world. The flavor of the cannoli was delicious, but the outside wasn't crunchy like cannoli should be. The Tuscan Panini was very good and was served warm. I ordered the Antioxidant smoothie and added protein powder. I got the smallest size and it was $12. It had apple juice, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. I could've easily made this at home, so next time I would choose something different. The interior here isn't anything special. You order at the counter and seat yourself. Lots of single-use materials are used here. I'd love to see the business opt for reusable materials and perhaps spruce up the dining area and bathroom. Overall, I love that they have plenty of vegan/vegtrain food options and a large selection of pastries (however, I do question the freshness of the baked goods). I think this establishment has a lot of potential.

Very accommodating owner & staff helped us create bowls that would work for our dietary needs. The place is spacious with a cozy coffee shop vibe, near (on?) the UAB campus. It's all metered street parking so it was tough finding a spot (especially on a Saturday night), but we finally lucked out. We both had the BBQ Tofu Sandwich but made into a salad. The tofu had a great umami flavor and the onions were grilled till soft, just the way I like them. I had my usual matcha latte with no sugar or flavored syrup and the owner was concerned I wouldn't like it because it wasn't sweet. Haha I told him no I like it that way. He was skeptical but I assured him it would be fine, and it was! Hubs had a coffee latte and it was equally good. Recommend!

Strawberry matcha
LaTaysia Q.

Had book club with the girls here and it was a nice quaint shop. There were so many options that I was becoming a bit overwhelmed. Decided on the strawberry matcha and it was delectable. The inside is decorated nicely and warm. The service was quick and helpful. Next time I go back I will definitely be trying something different.

Bham Best

Absolutely love This cafe , not only was the atmosphere amazing. So was the food Not to mention the selection of sweets they had

Absolutely delicious, went here one Saturday morning around 10! I got the bagel with Salmon, really great flavors and most importantly, FRESH!! Definitely going back soon :)

Vegan Menu!
Lisa G.

Great vegan menu! Had the Seitan pita. Yummy! Very nice service. Comfy seating! Parking is tough but found a spot in back.

I met up with a friend there on a lovely Sunday afternoon, and I really enjoyed the vibe! The space is super spacious, clean, and just really nice overall. It's great for vegetarians, too--they have a fantastic selection of fresh fruits, desserts, smoothies, and milkshakes. I went for a cookies and cream milkshake, and I loved that the staff brought our orders right to our table, so we could relax instead of waiting at the counter. The only little hiccup was that I felt the prices were a bit on the high side, but Overall I enjoyed it.

House sandwich
Isabel S.

Tried this out for the first time for lunch. You order at the register and there are plenty of seating options with tables and comfy chairs. Starting off with the lattes they were delicious. The best pistachio latte I've had since they use pistachio cream instead of syrup. My sister got a smoothie and it wasn't super flavorful kinda just tasted like apples. We got two sandwiches and both were delicious and warm. To finish up we got the Dubai strawberry cup which was good but they were too light with the chocolate and pistachio cream. Once we hit the middle there was plenty. Tons of items to try on the menu, definitely worth a checkout!

The Essential was such an unexpected find during our trip through Alabama. We weren't expecting to…read morestumble across such an elegant restaurant serving truly elevated food, but it ended up being one of our favorite meals. I ordered the seafood pasta, and you could immediately tell the pasta was homemade. It was fresh, perfectly cooked, and the seafood was beautifully prepared. My daughter had the spaghetti, and my husband ordered the Waldorf salad, which was just as thoughtfully put together. Our waitress also recommended the hummus and house pickles, and I'm so glad we listened. Both were fresh, unique, and the perfect way to start the meal. From the food to the service, everything felt polished without being pretentious. It was one of those meals where every dish was executed with care and attention to detail. Overall, The Essential was such a pleasant surprise and proof that you can find five star dining experiences in the most unexpected places. If you're anywhere near Birmingham, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

The interior has a nostalgic, warm vibe and would be a great setting for a date night. Our server was awesome! He was friendly, attentive, and recommended some great food and drink options. I also really enjoyed the open-kitchen concept, as I always like being able to see the food being prepared. My only concern was with a couple of things I noticed in the kitchen. Since the kitchen is completely open and visible to guests, I think extra attention should be given to sanitation and overall presentation. I noticed one of the cooks drinking while preparing food, and another wiped his nose with his arm while working. Although he didn't use his hand, it still left me feeling a little uneasy. When guests can see directly into the kitchen, those small details really matter. Aside from that, we enjoyed our experience, and I do think this is a place worth trying at least once. The atmosphere, service, and recommendations from our server were definitely highlights of our visit.

Vegan options abound. I was having a hard time deciding between a few things that sounded good. I decided to order the coconut curry with tofu, a sweet and nutty naan (same as what I've seen called peshwari naan at other places), and a Darjeeling milk tea (served hot). I really liked everything. I would only note that the style of fried tofu they used seemed like it would have been more suited to Asian stir-frys or curries; it was a slightly odd texture in the Indian curry. However I really enjoyed the curry gravy; the flavor was well-rounded and it was hearty but not too heavy. I would also recommend the sweet and nutty naan if you like sweet-savory combos. The tea was very nice. It came unsweetened but they gave me sugar to add if I wanted. I came hungry and left full. I thought the atmosphere was nice for a casual meal. It's not fancy by any stretch and the building has kind of an industrial look, but they have decorated a little, and I found the atmosphere to be welcoming. My waiter was very polite.

I really enjoy going to Tasty Town for lunch. I normally get the catfish lunch meal with the…read moreVillage Salad and their French fries, and it's always exactly what I'm craving. I love that the catfish is crispy on the outside but still tender and flavorful on the inside. I also really like the Village Salad it's fresh and light, which balances out the heavier parts of my meal. I usually pair it with their French fries because I can't resist the crispy, golden texture. Excellent service and dining experience. Great spot for business dinners or lunch with friends. I've tried looking at their vegetarian options too, and while I don't usually get them, I think they have some solid choices. I like that I can customize a salad or get a few sides to make a meal that's vegetarian-friendly. I think Tasty Town does a good job of offering something for everyone. I personally stick to my usual catfish meal, but I feel like I could explore more of their options if I wanted to try something different. Overall, I really enjoy my lunches there, and I always feel satisfied and happy with my choices.
