Finally made it to Baba Java Coffee, and I wish I hadn't waited so long! I had the cappuccino and…read moremy friend got the latte, both delicious. The cappuccino was stronger than what I usually go for, but smooth, not bitter at all. The ambiance is really nice, mostly tables and chairs with one cozy area that has softer seating. A few people were working on laptops, so it seems like a good spot to post up for a bit. Parking was easy too. Will definitely be back!

Having opened in 2019, Baba Java entered the area's coffee shop scene at a time when coffee for…read moremost local residents was still associated with one single chain. This was the first location of Baba Java and has since expanded through the city. Ran my Omani entrepreneurs, this little coffee shop became quite popular over the years. The staff working here are mostly teenagers or college students, who are very attentive and professional despite their young age. The owner clearly picked out incredible folks to be here who make Baba Java feel both welcoming and well kept. The interior of the space is fairly basic coffee shop design, but admittedly, a little bit dated in 2026 and lacks the unique vibe of some other independent coffee shops. Window views facing the strip mall parking lot don't create much of an ambiance either. With that said, design is not the main thing to come here for. The coffee is excellent and priced very reasonably, offering a great value for an establishment of this sort. There is easy to access WiFi and an overall feeling of being welcomed. A solid little coffee shop that allows customers to support some local business owners instead of a big chain.

Great turnout for French wine at Meri Moon. Can you believe that we didn't take a single picture?…read moreWe had 8 in attendance. The wine was outstanding, the new wine rep is very knowledgeable, the food was right on the mark/paired well and of course Rachel and her team were amazing as always! Just so you can mentally keep up, Rachel is going to be scheduling a wine tasting every 2nd Wednesday of each month. Can't wait for the next one!

So I've been curious about this place for awhile but honestly We don't go to Montevallo a lot. So…read moreWe were around and I told hubbie let's check it out. I thought they just had coffee for my son and husband -plus I was going to check out when they have wine tastings. They do have some cocktails at their small bar . I got a sunrise . The pour was small but it's Alabama . My son got a matcha and my husband got a Mexican mocha. Well after we got our drinks everyone disappeared. We were told just holler umm nah . Honestly it's a one and done for us . I'm just used to better service period! Montevallo does not have an entertainment district so you can't walk with your drink like other places. I wasn't impressed . If that's all you know is small towns then yeah I guess it's okay . We will not be back. This is purely my personal preference. I was just expecting something different is all. I also agree with the other reviewer they never came to check on us or said goodbye. What a way to run a business!! Hardly friendly at all!!

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.

Adventurer's coffee co is a great addition to downtown Calera & they are still going strong 7 years later!!!

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

There were so many pastry options but we decided on the cinnamon roll and it was so good warmed up! The vanilla latte tasted like good quality coffee. We got the roman roast sandwhich, which is apparently the most popular food item on the menu. The beef was tender and juicy and the fries were perfectly crispy. You could definitely split this with someone, it's a huge sandwich. We also got the campo italiano focaccia flatbread. The focaccia part was really good, it was fluffy and also crispy. The chicken on top was kind of dry though. I loved the vibes of the inside, they have free wifi so it's a perfect place to do some work or study! There's a good bit of parking, too. The guy working there was really nice. Overall I definitely want to come back to try more of their menu and pastries!
