Great place with excellent coffee and tea options. I tried the vanilla chai latte and really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. The customer service is great, the service is very fast, and it's also a perfect place to get some work done thanks to the spacious environment.

My friends and I enjoyed this coffee spot!! It feels like a slightly modernized/Americanized version of a diverse shop (which isn't good or bad, just something I noticed)! The drinks were good! Service was great- we had a trainee on her first day so that was sort of cute to witness, lol. No issues. The ambiance is cute - again, I think speaking to this blend of cultures. I'd give it a shot to experience it!

I'm not sure why I've never been to many coffee shops in the city. Could it be because...I'm not really a coffee drinker? Yes, but I'm a squatter and coffee shops are the perfect place to sit and talk or do work, so I plan to visit more in the new year. I stopped by her recently with an old friend to catch up. The place is nicely decorated and felt very cozy. The workers were super friendly and patient while I tried to decide what I wanted to try. It was particularly warm this day, so I was leaning towards an iced beverage. I finally selected the iced creamy peach latte with oat milk. My friend selected regular warm apple cider. When my drink arrived and I tasted it, I instantly regretted my choice because it was not what I was expecting. I'm not even sure if I told them to add sweetener in it. As a novice coffee drinker, I should have went simple so this was at no fault of the shop or its workers. I ended up drinking some cold water that was found near the entryway on the counter. I had the nicest chat with one of the workers about the holiday and weather while I was pouring my water. My friend shared some of his apple cider with me (he's an avid coffee drinker) and I knew I should've ordered something similar. I enjoyed the vibes here and the atmosphere was very welcoming and laid back. Definitely try them out and sit and chat for a little while in their comfy seats.

For the beverages, it's my favorite local coffee shop. Their seasonal drinks are always creative & delicious, with house made syrups & unique spices. Friendly staff. Sometimes quite crowded inside because it's rather small, is the only downside.

Great Cortado! Great service! Great Orange roll! Was recently here on a Friday with my niece and mom. It was pretty busy but we didn't have to wait long for our order. I really liked the atmosphere as well. It was very relaxed and cozy for a rainy day. I was able to work a little bit while I was here as well. This was my first time visiting and I will definitely be back. I love the dedicated parking spot available for customer's convenience!

Very nice place and yummy drink while I sat for laptop working. This is a chill place and it's comfy too.

Love a good, strong cold brew! The staff was welcoming and the patrons were kind too. The cafe is clean and so are the bathrooms. I really appreciated the family bathroom, equipped with a changing table! Hard to find changing tables at small businesses these days. Definitely coming back!

Found a new local favorite to add to the list of coffee shops for this area! I've been here 3 times, and each experience was great overall. During my first visit, I ordered a honey cinnamon latte (half sweet) and it was still a bit too sweet, but pretty good coffee overall. The woman who took my order was extremely sweet and welcoming! For the second visit, the guy who took my order wasn't very friendly, but the iced vanilla latte was perfection -- the espresso:milk ratio was perfect, the balance was very smooth, and it was the perfect level of subtle sweetness that I requested. Third visit -- the guy (different from second visit) who took our order was very friendly and gave helpful info when I inquired about buying beans. I ordered an iced vanilla latte again and it was smooth this time as well. Interior is cozy and has pretty good number of seats. Will be back!

I wanted to update my review with two recommendations. First, they have the best cinnamon rolls that you can find in Birmingham! So make sure you try them. Second, they have a coffee called Sahara Sands, and it is delicious such a good strong coffee with a sweet kick.

I'm amazed by their lattes. The Honey Cinnamon latte is a dream. They've shown me what real coffee house drinks should taste like. Thanks!
