We got a small pumpkin spice latte and a dirty chai, and it was about $11 / $12. They have several options for coffees, teas, some breakfast items, and some lunch items.

I felt like the prices were a bit higher than other shops, but I'm one to pay the price if it means the coffee beans are quality and that the staff is paid a living wage. With the prices being what they are, I was not keen on the extra charge for an alt milk. There is plenty of indoor seating and a merchandise area where you can buy coffee, equipment, and shirts. They sell Proud Mary Coffee, as well as Rowan Coffee Roasters (which they currently use for drinks). Laptops are not allowed on the weekends-- gotta love that intentional disconnect from technology to connect with humans irl. :)

This place is not for coffee noobs ‍ their menu is great and the flavors they have looked so good…read more I got an iced coffee with dark chocolate syrup. It was so surprising- It had a sweet and fruity taste, and I asked the owner about it and he said it's a special type of coffee fermented with fruits and that he cycles through different blends for the iced coffee often. I love the intention and creativity put in to the process. I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor and he offered me to try the cold brew instead, which was very kind and a relief because I hate telling anyone I don't like a drink! The cold brew was much more up my alley, very strong and dark and it was great without any syrup or creamer. I love the interior of the shop and the sense of comfort you get being in there. They had a ton of coffee beans And I asked the owner which would be the best dark roast and he picked one out for me that's been pretty good so far (although not as dark as I expected). My friend got a dirty chai and I don't think she was too thrilled with it. But I would definitely come back to try some new things!

A menu with classic espresso drinks like macchiattos, cortados, etc and some interesting seasonal flavors like the Mardi Gras Latte I had today. (It was amazing.) Calm enough vibes to get a little work done. Quick service. Clean/polished but relaxed aesthetic. Expert baristas. Again, it's a no brainer. Go in and get the caffeine that you need and you'll be glad you did.

Today i sat in my car ready for someone to take my order, sat there for 5 mins, no one came on, even when i tried to saying hello??? another 5-6 mins to get to the window again bc service is so slow and per usual it's some kid sitting on the window (which i think is gross) who had no clue she never took my order. I gave my order there and waited. Got my food but drove off without my coffee. Had to park and go in. The place completely empty except for the 2 girls working there. Again one girl sitting on the window - love it when they have shorts on and are big girls...great professional look for the company. Coffee was already cold. i can't do it anymore. The high prices, unsanitary conditions and wait time are too much. I don't need to be this stressed out on my way to work. It's too bad bc i live close by and met hoping it would get better but it hasn't. I will not be back. Based on lack of management i don't even expect a return email back.

You can also purchase bags of coffee from multi roasters if you prefer to make your coffee at home, the selection is incredible. The large open windows providing natural sunlight makes this the perfect place for a coffee on a beautiful day. The espresso drinks here are always top notch and what I'd suggest for anyone dropping by. However, they do offer pourovers now which I've been gravitating towards as the talented barista (Cam I think) has been doing them well with the various options to choose from

Daily Edition has been on my list of coffee shops to try for a minute. I finally got to stop by and…read moreI got the rosemary fig latte and a berry danish. Both were delicious! The flavor combo worked so well in the coffee and you can tell they use high quality speciality coffee. They also serve last call baking pastries aka the best bakery in Birmingham. The service was quick, as there was no wait. They have two tables to sit at, but no outlets so definitely more of a takeout coffee shop than to work from home or study. Will definitely be back!

Been passing this place for almost a year and finally decided to stop and try. I picked the best…read moretime to do it! Bullet Coffee is hard to miss if you're driving south on 31 in Pelham. When you get to the light at the corner of 31 and Pelham Park Blvd, just look to the right and you'll see a quaint little white building. Behind it is the Pelham Public Library which looms over Bullet and to the other side of Bullet is Edgars Bakery. As mentioned BC has been there about a year now. The other BC is on 280 and there's one more in Fairhope. All are owned by the same individual who also owns their sister store the Red Mountain Expresso. BC is not technically another "pop up" coffee place because this is actually a brick and concrete building albeit it's just big enough to be a full service drive thru, but it doesn't have any seating inside or out. Just a drive thru. The drive-thru is planned nicely so it's easy to get to the order window then around to the pickup/pay window. Their menu options long and diverse but also typical of any coffee place. They also serve fresh daily sausage biscuits and pimento cheese biscuits. They have specialties like the Turtle latte, Classics like cold brew, blended drinks like frappes and non coffee drinks like iced teas and chai. I was lucky today because they are in middle of running a special called Frappy Hour good for another week. From 3-6pm all medium frappes are $2! I tried the Java Chip and Cookie & Cream. She asked me if I wanted the "coffee" or "milk" based. The coffee is the traditional way but the milk would be more like a milkshake. I chose coffee. I didn't get whipped cream which was offered. I only had to wait a couple minutes after paying. She even gave me a frequent visitor card. Get 10 drinks, get the 11th free! The cookies and cream was good, but the java chip was even better. Nicely blended, cool and refreshing on this warm afternoon. Yom Yom Yom Yom. It hit the spot! Welcome to Pelham BC!

It was a Thursday morning and I decided to stop for coffee on my way to work. This was my first…read moretime ever having bullet coffee. When I arrived, there was at least seven cars in front of me, which was a good sign. The drive-through is a little narrow. You order through one window and then you pick up on the other side of the window. I ordered an iced rush-hour coffee and after lighthouse which I got. The consistency was creamier than I would've liked other iced coffees. I've had are more liquidy. It was good. It wasn't the best. I probably will be back to try the other different flavors. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. Besides the drive-through you can also walk up and get coffee. This is right in front of the Pelham library which is nice because before or after you go the library can get you a little treat.

On my last two visits, I added the peach-infused cold foam, and it takes the drink to another level. The flavors pair perfectly, and it's quickly become one of my favorite coffee drinks. The café itself is a great place to relax or get some work done. It's bright without feeling harsh, and there's plenty of seating, including both comfortable lounge-style chairs and standard tables and chairs. I've never had trouble finding a spot. The staff has been friendly on every visit, and my drinks have always come out quickly. I haven't had the chance to try the food yet, but based on my experience so far, I definitely plan to. If the drinks are any indication, I'm looking forward to seeing how the food measures up!

What a cute, welcoming, spacious coffee shop with several tasty options. I was immediately greeted…read moreby staff while I reviewed the menu options. I was torn between the seasonal banana bread latte, Arabian sands latte or the fan fav orange apeel latte. Staff suggested Arabian or Orange so I chose to go with a hot middle eastern spiced treat. You're given a number once you order, grab a seat at an open table/couch/side bar and it will be brought out to you once ready. There's a water, napkin, utensil, etc area readily available. The Arabian Sands has a light presence of cardamom and a hint of brown sugar sweetness. I would order this again, however, I'm looking forward to trying the Orange Apeel next. For a quick snack, I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese croissant. Nice portion size. Came out warm. Left nothing to be desired from a classic combination. Be sure to place your dishes in the "dirty dishes" bin before leaving. The shop was clean and they had several patrons who appeared to be regulars. Wi-Fi worked great (no lag). Perfect space for a meeting, get together, study place, reading a book, etc. They even have a Popbar connected that serves a variety of popsicles/frozen treats. Fun frozen desserts and gelato on a stick. You can order these treats in a variety of ways plus add toppings. I'll be sure to try when I want something sweet. Highly recommend stopping by Baba Java/Popbar if in the area or near another location.
