One last stop before heading home from Bham! I'd had this spot bookmarked and it was a short drive from where we ate, so we headed on over to get some dessert. This gelateria is tucked away in a cute area. The road is like...cobblestone? Or very uneven and narrow at least. Wasn't super friendly for our car. Probably better to walk from somewhere else nearby. The inside was super weirdly hot, which was unexpected. Fortunately we were getting our goodies to go. There's very limited seating inside but you could maybe grab a spot if you wanted to. I ordered a scoop of hazelnut gelato and husband got chocolate. The flavor selection is somewhat simple and limited but that's not necessarily a bad thing - product seems very high quality. Service was acceptable, quiet and matter of fact. The serving size was generous. Both gelatos were good, but my hazelnut was great! It was so pleasantly nutty and sweet, and the texture was amazing. I'd definitely order this treat again! Give them a try if you're a gelato fan. Yum! read more

Cannella Gelato is such a gem tucked right on historic Morris Ave; the location alone makes it worth stopping by, but the experience sealed the deal for me. I ordered the affogato for the first time, and it was absolutely amazing; creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. I'm pretty sure I finished it in under five minutes! The person at the counter was super helpful and kind, especially since it was my first time trying an affogato. They walked me through what it was and even suggested the best flavor pairing. You can really tell they care about creating a good experience. The space itself feels cozy and inviting perfect for a quick dessert stop after dinner downtown or a stroll through Morris Ave. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors, but the affogato has officially become my new favorite treat. read more

Super kind staff. Very patient and let us try multiple flavors. It's always nice when people are willing to engage with you, ask you how your day was and learn more about you. The gelato has the perfect soft texture and isn't too heavy on your stomach. I felt refreshed and energized after eating it. The lemon lavender goat cheese ice cream had a delicious citrusy flavor. The goat cheese was subtle. The lavender flavor shined through. The blood orange is delicious, not too much of a bitterness or a bite to it. Perfectly balanced flavors. Loved sitting outside. read more

We came here looking to cool down and after a visit to the Civil Rights Institute. It was nice to get off our feet and enjoy the covered outdoor eating area in the old building nestled between it and another restaurant. It is on a cobblestone road that was nice and bumpy, but we were able to find a great parking spot right in front on this Saturday afternoon. Normally, gelato place have standard flavors, but htis place has come unique ones. They are great with sampling and I tried the mint stracciatella, which was unique and very strong on the mint flavoring, which I love! I got the next size up from the kids size and they let you select up to 2 flavors with this size, so I got that and the espresso chip, which had little chips that were the perfect size for that texture to hit just right in your mouth! read more

Italian gelato in the heart of Birmingham! Based on the natural colors of their flavor selection, I'm assuming it's fairly authentic. I did a split flavor kids scoop and it was a perfect amount for a post-lunch treat. They also let you sample which is a plus! Pricing is pretty standard, nothing baffling. There's plenty of space to sit outside or inside. Birmingham has some pretty great ice cream spots, and I'd this one to the list! read more

Gelato without the cult indoctrination (if you know, you know) WOW I came in here on a whim after dinner across the hall. I love the concept of the mercantile and the whole aesthetic. Such a cute, clean shop, with FANTASTIC hand made gelato. Customer service was lovely and so patient while my husband and I each tried several flavors before selecting ours. My husband had jasmine and cappuccino, I had stracciatella and chocolate sorbet (WOW for a sorbet, my mind was blown). We already can't wait to come back and try more flavors! The prices are very reasonable too. We don't have a single criticism. read more

Will preface by saying that I've been to Italy and have had authentic gelato: We had just finished dinner and were craving something savory & sweet. We knew of a few different spots that served sweet treats, but wanted something new. After pulling into a handicap parking spot (mistakenly) and searching for something, I found Canella Gelato. When we arrived and walked in, we were warmly greeted by staff and were shown a multitude of options. Everything looked delicious so, of course, the patron had the option (privilege) of sampling the gelato. I decided to get the cookies & cream/strawberry combo. Fiancé decided on coffee alone. Although the strawberry and cookies & cream were very good, I got a taste of her coffee and I was astounded.. I do not like coffee flavored anything outside of the actual stuff, but this was some of the best tasting gelato I've ever had. 5/5 for sure. We've been twice and found that the service, product, and ambience are the same and that's exactly what we desire. read more

I'm in town from Atlanta for work & stumbled upon this place close to my Airbnb. As a newbie to Alabama, I had no idea a lot of spots stay closed throughout the week but this gelato spot is open on a Monday which I'm so thankful for. The service here was exquisite and they let me try multiple flavors before deciding. They have a lemon lavender honey goat milk gelato and it is AMAZING!!! It's something I'll probably be dreaming about back in Atlanta so it's a for sure place to stop by if you're ever near this area. Looks like they serve coffee too so if you're looking for just coffee or affogatos as well, I highly recommend. There's plenty do street parking and to the looks of it, no one is actually checking the meters. This area seems to be developing a lot, but it's a true treat that this business is here to serve treats to those nearby. I'll definitely be back when I come back to Alabama! read more

The shop may be small, but it has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes it a comfortable place to enjoy a cup of coffee. Even though it's located in the lobby of a building, the décor gives it plenty of character and makes the space feel warm rather than temporary. I could easily see myself coming here to get some work done or simply relax for a while. I decided to try one of their seasonal drinks, the Berry & Bee Latte. While it wasn't quite my favorite flavor combination, the espresso itself was well made, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try another drink from the menu. Sometimes a seasonal special just comes down to personal preference, and this one wasn't quite for me. The standout of my visit was the chorizo, egg, and cheese empanada. It was absolutely delicious and easily the highlight of my order. There's a short wait for the empanadas, but that's because they're warmed fresh after you order, and it's well worth it. I'd gladly wait a few extra minutes for something served hot and fresh. The only area where I think the experience could be improved is staffing. During my visit, the barista had to step away from the counter several times, which left me waiting a few minutes before I could order. Having a second employee available during busier times would likely make the flow much smoother and improve the overall customer experience. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely stop by again. The comfortable atmosphere, quality coffee, and outstanding empanada make Daily Buzz Coffee worth a return trip, and I'm looking forward to trying a different latte on my next visit.

Of course, the views are very pleasant overlooking railroad park across the street. And, what other colors could mugs be other than red? The layout inside is pleasant, although does have a bit of that "overly private" feel. The way that tables are positioned, it's not conducive to having a chat with a stranger.

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.

(They only offer milk based milk options) The coffee itself had a good taste I do think I would have preferred just a regular iced coffee with the flavor but I know that for next time. I did enjoy being able to look at the offerings of the connected store (Basic.) they had many unique things for sell including clothing, shoes and various books. Tyler was great with helping make my selection of drink and I loved how patient he was with assisting on the order. The feel of the space was very comfortable and welcoming to creatives. I love the location and how it is in walking distance to so many things. Thankfully I was able to find a parking spot across the street and didn't have to pay to park. Basic. is the store sharing the space and it is nice to be able to browse their inventory while waiting for your drinks. They have some things that I have not seen anywhere else if I had to compare it to another store I would compare it to Earth Bound. Everything seemed to be environmentally conscious which is always nice to see.

Every time I go to a new coffee shop in Birmingham I think: "wow! This is my favorite coffee shop…read moreyet!" Grounds did NOT disappoint and I have no idea why it took me so long to come here. It's located right along 2nd Ave amongst all of the restaurant hubbub. Street parking, but if you're willing to take a stroll for a couple blocks, it's easy. This is one of the busier coffee shops in town, I would advise against seeking silence here. It's a shared space with "basic," a vintage clothing and art retailer which has awesome things made by local people. The people that worked there were so friendly. I came because I had to get that crème brûlée latte. It did not disappoint. One of the most delicious coffee drinks I've had in a long time. It tasted like a hug, perfectly caramel sweet, and fun to drink. It's not often that coffee gets turned into an interactive experience. The pastries looks great. The couch in the front window looked like an awesome spot to post up with some buddies. There were plenty of tables and chairs to work at. I will most certainly be back.

I accidentally spilled my drink upon picking it up and the employee was kind to make me a new one right away. Another employee offered shelter from the heavy rain multiple times. Importantly, the coffee itself actually exceeded expectations and was perfectly balanced. I am more of a snob about my coffee and I really enjoyed it. I didn't spend much time inside the store, but both the indoor and outdoor seating appeared to be a nice, comfortable environment. I would highly recommend this coffee shop :)

I ordered the avocado toast, and I'm so happy I did! The toast itself was great, and the tomatoes and pickled red onions paired together so well. For my drink, I tried the Strawberry Matcha Lemonade from the summer menu, and it was good as well. I was happy that the matcha wasn't overpowering, and the strawberry flavor wasn't heavy either. Honestly, I didn't notice the strawberry flavor very much, but the drink was still refreshing. I decided to sit outside, and the weather was so nice. The staff was great and willing to answer any questions I had about the menu. The location was convenient and had decent parking around noon on a Friday--it wasn't overly crowded. There was a little bit of a wait, but it wasn't too long, and my drink came out before my food. Overall, I had a pleasant brunch experience and would definitely come back to try something else!

My husband told me that we had a reservation at Bayonet. I was immediately excited because I had…read moreheard great things about this restaurant and it would be our first time going. Neither of us are fans of raw oysters, so I was really interested in what we would order. MC waited on us and did a phenomenal job of recommendations of items that were not raw. I wanted to try the Tea'D Up drink. It was beautifully blended and absolutely delicious. For my meal, I ordered the scallop tostada. It was so fresh and flavorful. My husband ordered the Reuben made with swordfish. I had a bite of it and it was also very good. We actually saved room for dessert and tried the fried peach pie. I would describe it as a really good peach cobbler empanada. It was served with a small scoop of sour cream vanilla sorbet. Hearing the sour cream part scared me just a tad, but it paired perfectly with the peach pie. I'd go back to Bayonet today!

I had a great dinner here and can't wait to try more of their menu when I return. Foodies (like…read moremyself) will enjoy this place, from the vibes to the details in decor, food, and service. And I express my thanks to my servers and bartenders, who were not only attentive in service, but also offered recommendations which led me to a great dining experience. In short, I had the following: -dry-aged Shima Ahi crudo ( flew in from Japan) -a Mordella sandwich, and -peach fried pie. My wine pairing for my dishes was a California Albariño, which was a great surprise. I'm now searching for this winemaker to add bottles to my cellar. Every dish I tried was my favorite in its own way. Each meal was well-balanced and highlighted the flavors of every ingredient. The mortadella sandwiches featured a playful twist with Cobia fish, and the house-made focaccia bread, where the mortadella and Cobia spread are nestled, was truly what focaccia dreams are made of. Plus the garlic aioli for the fries is money !!! And the peach fried hand pie was the perfect end to a great meal. The aromatics of caramelized glaze comes across like it might be super sweet. But when you bit into the flaky buttermilk pastry crust it gave it a warm, humble feeling with the perfectly diced peaches pie filling adding the right touch of sweetness. And as a special treat, this hand pie is paired with a sour cream-lemon sorbet which I didn't know I needed in my life that was refreshing. The peach fried pie is a seasonal dessert, so enjoy it while you can. Overall, the ambiance and music were spot on making it a vibe that you definitely want to come for dinner or just enjoy cocktails which looked really yummy( but that's for another time ). The unique decor, with a mix of midcentury meets fisherman lighting and a crowned octopus handles tap beer, was a lovely detail when you get to sit back and enjoy. Even the plateware where food sits on is crafted by a local Bham female artisan at Civil Stoneware, is a nice touch ( which I was obsessed with ). I hope your experience is as great as mine. Happy dining y'all!

This fruity red blend, served cold, pairs well with fish.
