    New cafe in the Lakeshore strip mall track. The staff were all so kind, I believe this place is family run and owned. My friends wanted to come for the Dubai chocolate strawberries. They were incredibly delicious. I saw them back there cutting up a ton of fresh strawberries. The chocolate and pistachio sauces were amazing and the perfect sweetness and consistency. I definitely recommend splitting this with somebody, though. It's a lot to eat on your own. I had a small scoop of ice cream that was tasty. The staff gave us samples of their hot chai tea, I would totally come back for some more of just the chai.

    Came for the hype of the Dubai chocolate strawberries. While the strawberries are freshly cut and the chocolate was delicious, it's a little sweet for my taste and a little over priced. I did enjoy the Aden latte which had rose and pistachio flavor in it! This was really good!! My boyfriend got the drip coffee. Disclaimer that it will take 15+ minutes to make because it's a slow process. The furniture is unique to sit on. Very quiet. Not the best location. It's was nice to try, but the sweets are too sweet for my taste.

    Trust me the crepes are so yummy! A must try! This may not the place for you if you're looking for standard coffee that is not their specialty Go for dessert and get the crepes any of them and the Adeni chai They have ice cream too. It's more of chai and dessert lounge than a standard coffee house with experienced baristas making flavored coffee. You probably won't get an oat milk ice macchiato here. But those crepes are so good and huge! Quality fresh ingredients and freshly made The Adeni chai is tea with milk and spices and it is super comforting.

    Oooh Aden is such a fun addition to Birmingham. To my knowledge, there's nothing else like it here yet. Tucked into a shopping strip, Aden cafe is in a very unassuming spot. When you enter into this quaint cafe, they have several tables set up, as well as a traditional couch seating area in the back. Our servers were so sweet and attentive. Coffee, icecream, drinks, and fun desserts are on the menu. Desserts are very decadent. We enjoyed the biscoff crepe, knafeh, and a lime/mint drink. This is a great spot for a morning coffee, midday snack, or late night dessert - their hours are almost all day! Wanting to come back to try the Dubai chocolate strawberries!

    Needed a sweet treat after a day date with my hubs I've been wanting to try the viral Dubai chocolate strawberry cups & heard great things about this spot super cute establishment they also have ice cream & some pastries I liked the Dubai chocolate however there's no way you can eat it all in one sitting it's very decadent and rich but good I wish it came in a smaller size I've been eating on it for two days my hubs got moose tracks ice cream come & he said he it was just aight not sure if I'd come back but price wise this is the best spot to try the Dubai chocolate

    I was really looking forward to this place. The decor and everything inside is super cute. My friend Roxanne and I each got a dubai chocolate strawberry cup. It was pretty pricey at $14.29 a cup so not likely something I would order again here. It was delicious as far as the chocolate and the strawberries. I'm not sure I liked the crunchy stuff on top that much. They have ice cream and lots of coffee options as well.

    Visited this establishment midday for dessert only! We sampled the BISCOFF CREPE, DUBAI CREPE, and the viral DUBAI STRAWBERRY CUP. I would have to say all these desserts were decadently sweet! I definitely got my sugar rush just sampling each. I do love the strawberry cup because all the cream and chocolate are balanced with the tart strawberries. Definitely check it out! They do carry quite a few flavors of Hershey's ice cream. The customer service is prompt and informative!

    We tried the Biscoff crepe and it was delicious, definitely on the sweet side. The workers were super friendly and answered all our questions. They have tables and sitting areas for big groups. Love that they are opened til 12am. Perfect place for a late night sweet treat!

    It was a very nice vibe in there! I went to try the dubai chocolate strawberries, which I thoroughly enjoyed! They were very nice and helpful. Only reason I give 4 stars I'd because I have only tried the strawberries but I definitely want to go back and try more items on the menu.

    Went for the viral Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup. There were several people ahead of us. There was about a 25 minute wait for our order. The staff were very apologetic about the wait. The Strawberry Cup was tasty. The pistachio cream and chocolate were creamy and rich. The strawberries were fresh. There were crunchy layers that added texture. They have unique ice cream flavors. My daughter had Peanut Butter Cookie Dough which she said was good. My niece had the cookies and cream cheesecake. It was the individual cheesecakes that we get from Sam's. Overall, we enjoyed and I would return.

    This was our second time coming to Aden Cafe, and we knew we had to get a repeat of the Dubai Strawberry Cup and Dubai Chocolate Bar both are absolutely addictive! But this time, we added the Dubai Crepe, and no lie... it's one of the best things I've ever tasted. The crepe batter is perfect soft, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with all the toppings. It's literally everything. Everything here is made fresh to order, so expect a little wait, but it's totally worth it. The cafe interior is super cool and trendy, with unique decor, comfy seating, and a chill vibe that makes you want to stay and hang out. Whether you're into sweets, tea, or just want a cozy hangout spot, this place is a gem. We'll definitely be back again and again

    I was pleasantly surprised by the environment and the coffee was excellent! The service was warm and friendly and I'll definitely be back.

    Caveat can get pretty busy, but they have lots of tables, as there is seating upstairs (main…read moreentrance level), downstairs, and outside. They have outlets at not all, but several tables, so it can be a nice place to bring your computer. Music isn't very loud, so not too distracting. Parking can be difficult sometimes - there are only a few spots behind the building and a few in the front. Other than that, there is street parking on the one way next to the building, or on 18th (main drag through downtown Homewood). They have a drive-thru, but it's a bit odd at first glance. You either enter from the one way street paralleling it or from the alley that runs behind the building. It looks like you're driving up onto the sidewalk! If the line of long, it might be a bit of a wait, so I wouldn't count on it if you're in a hurry. I always get an Iced Blueberry Vanilla latte, and it's ~$7. Their rotating seasonal menus have some pretty interesting combinations that I always like to try!

    Had a really nice Saturday morning at Caveat Coffee sitting on the patio with an iced blueberry…read morevanilla latte -- such a good combo and not overly sweet. It really did taste like a blueberry muffin. The patio had a relaxed, cozy vibe that made it easy to just slow down and enjoy the morning. Only downside was parking. I had to circle the block twice before finding a spot, so just be prepared if you go during a busy weekend morning. Thankfully, they do have a drive-thru option which is a huge plus if you're short on time or don't want to deal with parking. Definitely still worth the stop for the coffee and atmosphere!!!

    Cute coffee shop! In combo with City Bowls! I had the powerhouse acai bowl, with peanut butter and…read morenutella on top. Hit the spot. The 8oz size was perfect, I find that acai bowls are often too big. I had a drip coffee and got some of the protein balls to go, too. Everything was good, including the service. Inside is clean with plenty of spots to set up and do some computer work or chat with a friend. It can be a little difficult to spot from the outside.

    I was looking for a coffee spot after 5 p.m. and came across Honest Coffee Roasters inside City…read moreBowls Homewood. It seems to be more of a City Bowls location that serves Honest Coffee rather than a standalone coffee shop, but that didn't take away from the experience. I ordered the seasonal latte, **The Southern**. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite for me. The flavor felt a little muted, so I asked if they could add some extra Roosevelt syrup. The staff was more than happy to accommodate, and the additional syrup made a noticeable difference. While I probably wouldn't order *The Southern* again, I'm definitely interested in coming back to try the **Bootlegger** or **First Lady**--both sounded much more up my alley. The standout of my visit was the customer service. The staff was incredibly friendly, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me find something I'd enjoy. They asked thoughtful questions about my flavor preferences and made recommendations instead of just taking my order, which I really appreciated. The shop itself was clean, welcoming, and located in a convenient area. Parking is plentiful nearby, though you may have a short walk depending on where you park. Overall, even though my drink wasn't a home run, the excellent service and inviting atmosphere made this a positive first visit, and I'd gladly stop by again to try another latte.
