    One of the best coffee shops we've been to! Stopped in for a quick coffee and bite to eat. We sat outside on a hot day and had some iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich. There were so many different ways to get an iced coffee and a handful of different syrups. My wife got vanilla and I got maple cinnamon. She got the Rollo for food and I got the brioche breakfast sandwich. I could not believe how soft the brioche bin was and how flavorful her wrap was! All the workers were super friendly and all of what we ordered came out very quick

    Cafe Origins is tucked right into the bustling area of Birmingham, and it's a really charming spot to stop for a coffee or bite to eat. They have a beautiful patio with plenty of seating, and I appreciated that the tables were clean and sturdy, not a wobbly one in sight. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference when you're trying to enjoy a drink without worrying about spills. The staff was friendly and quick to bring out orders. Something I thought was interesting. They take orders on Toast devices right in the café, which isn't something I've really seen before. The baristas were super nice, and overall the service felt smooth and organized. My only small critique was that the music was a bit loud, even outside, so it was harder to fully relax or have a conversation without raising your voice a little. When I tried to grab the baristas attention when I was leaving to figure out where I should put my items, he didn't actually hear me so I think maybe slightly turning down the music would be a good idea. This is really just my preference because I'm a reader, though, so some people may have different opinions on that or not really care. The menu is diverse, with plenty of drink options and a good selection of food. I only ordered a chocolate croissant this time, but I saw several sandwiches going out to other tables and they looked like a generous portion. For my drink, I went with an iced chai tea latte. It was good--smooth and refreshing--but I personally like my chai with a stronger spice kick. A lot of places sprinkle cinnamon on top or mix it in, which I enjoy, so in hindsight I should've asked if that was an option. That's more on me than the café, though. Overall, a cozy and well-run spot in a great location. I'd come back, especially to try one of the sandwiches or explore more of the drink menu, maybe on a slightly quieter afternoon.

    I've been here a few times and it's been on point each time. The food is excellent and surprisingly very light in a good way. The staff was super nice with quick service. Plenty of places to sit as well.

    My first visit here, and definitely not my last. This might just be my new favorite spot for coffee in Birmingham. They offer much more than just great coffee, including ice cream, baked goods, and sandwiches. The fact that they have several halal options is a big plus. I tried the affogato, and it was absolutely delicious, rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I'll definitely be back for it again soon. On top of that, the barista was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Great service goes a long way!

    Nice spot for a good cup of coffee and hanging out with family. I came here a few weeks ago while visiting mom and sister over Mother's Day weekend. We spent one of the days exploring the area and came across this shop. We enjoyed some pastries, ice cream, and coffee. It's bright and spacious, lots of plants and a very pleasant atmosphere. Good value for money, Service was prompt and friendly. I would return. @azfitfoodfun

    Perfect new little bistro in Birmingham. The staff was so patient and friendly, even when the place was busy. They brought out our food and accommodated all kinds of small requests with a smile. Delicious vanilla bean latte in the most amazing glass cups. I tried the morning roll with eggs, avocado and bacon. Very good and filling. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu.

    Chicken Masala - Rollo

    My new favorite place to eat! Breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner - they got it all covered! Lamb rollo is my favorite! Chicken one is Really good too. Don't want it as a roll up? No problem - turn it into a salad or a rice bowl. Quiches are yummy as well. This place has a very ethically diverse menu which pays homage to different cultural cuisines. I love that in the summer you can eat outside- with potted palm trees, sun umbrellas and music playing outside- it gives the place Floridian vibe (minus the ocean) . Finish your meal with a cup of coffee and a gelato.

    Carrot orange juice!

    I go here a lot and have tried lots of different things on their menu and have never been disappointed! Everything is fresh and made thoughtfully. The quiche is my favorite quiche in this world and doesn't to be changed at all! Please don't change it! I really do think this is the best cafe in the Detroit area and it's just not the food it's also the staff that make it such a nice experience. My go tos are the: Tuna melt add fresnos - it's sooo delicious if you love tuna melts. Applewood smoked bacon quiche - I rave about this quiche/ it's perfect/ no notes ( please don't get rid of it) Pistachio latte- best I've had!! Orange carrot fresh juice- they make it fresh and it's so energizing and delicious. If you are in the area stop it- everything from salads, sandwiches, and pastries is phenomenal.

    Loved this little cafe! When you walk in, there was someone taking your order. Polite staff. Very easy to see the menu and decide what you want - with tons of options! Coffee taste/flavor was so good - I got their cold brew. I also got a quiche to go and they packaged it so cutely with silverware, a plate, etc. I'll be back!

    The food is so fresh and delicious! I also enjoyed an iced coffee. There is space for a few groups to sit. Overall I enjoyed it a lot. It is a tad pricey and their prices are not displayed anywhere so you won't know until you pay.

We've been here several times on the weekend (even with the kids). The line is never too long, although it can look long but it moves quickly. All the pastries are in the refrigerated case or sitting atop of the counter for you to ogle and salivate at while you patiently wait to give your order. Everything we've tried has been delicious, almost too decadent from the cakes to croissants to sandwiches. We've also had their coffees and hot chocolate. Can't go wrong with a handcrafted beverage to warm you up or cool you down. They do provide a water carafe on the house you just have to go up and get water yourself either way the cups provided. There is a side register near the exit, not sure if that's just for coffee or pickups. Haven't investigated that yet. They have some seating inside of tables and bar seating but nothing more the a 2-3 seats per table, not a place for a large group. Outside on the patio they have large umbrellas and heat lamps depending on the weather. It's also better luck to find a table that can accommodate 4 outside, although the tables are small cafe tables to it's a little cramped for 4, perfect for 2-3. They have low and high top tables available. If you do have a larger group, there is a park a block and a half up Eton that has picnic tables and benches so you can always take your treasures to go and enjoy some people watching at the park. Ample parking is available in the lot just make sure you go in the correct driveway at the north end since it's a one way in/out situation.

The most popular menu item is the CB; a warm cookie skillet loaded with ice cream and toppings. I've tried several cookies, the Reese's milkshake, and the C-T-C CB. All of the cookies are made in-house. I've had red velvet, chocolate chip, cookie monster (M&M), and s'mores. Of those, I preferred the red velvet. The Reese's milkshake was incredibly rich, but delicious. The C-T-C CB was my favorite dessert overall. This features a sugar cookie, cinnamon ice cream, and cinnamon toast crunch cereal. I highly recommend the C-T-C, or a CB in general. Cookieee Boys may be trendy, but the quality of its desserts does not take a backseat. It is on the pricier side, but I'd much rather support a family-owned establishment over a rival chain.

The cookies are clearly frozen. No question. They taste like bulk frozen cookies you'd get from somewhere like GFS, then reheated and dressed up with store-bought toppings (cereal, marshmallow, etc.) to try to mask the lack of quality--but it doesn't work. At the end of the day, you're paying $5 per cookie for what is basically a dressed-up frozen cookie. If that's what you want, just go to Costco and save yourself the drive and the wait. At least Crumbl--while not amazing--makes their dough fresh daily, and you can respect the effort. This just feels lazy and overpriced. Really disappointing that the owners seem to think customers won't notice the difference and created a flashy concept built on laziness.
