My husband said his Cortado was good, better than Starbucks.

It's the kind of place where you walk in once and feel like a regular. The atmosphere is super cozy and well put together. Comfortable seating, and a great layout whether you're just grabbing a drink or planning to stay a while. Using it as a work spot, it's perfect--quiet enough to focus, but still has a nice energy to it. Also, the music they play is spot-on--relaxing and chill, but never distracting. It really helps set the tone for the space. Overall, Maple Avenue Coffee House is the combination of great people, great vibes, and great coffee. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing place to work or unwind!

Everytime I've gone which has been many they wait until the car has driven up to where they are under the covered area to even take the order. Especially in the mornings. And they seem to be more focused on talking to the customers and having long conversations. I appreciate them being nice but the flow is completely off and no one seems to correct them or care on how the orders are taken and why they have pads to walk around to take orders in the first place. Ill have to stick to the other locations that understand.

This was the spot we would all come to to do homework. It's still got that same warmth and charm. I came in on a Wednesday morning to sit and do some work. I ordered a cappuccino, bran muffin, and a breakup cookie to take home. The cappuccino is just as expected. Served at the perfect temp, great flavor. The bran muffin, which was my attempt to be healthy, was really a delicious stand-out. I would definitely get that again. And, of course, the breakup cookies are some of the best cookies in town. They bake all of the baked goods in-house, I believe, which gets a round of applause from me. A lot of the recipes are still the same ones I remember from 7 years ago. One thing I noticed that's even BETTER than I remember was the books and gift selection. A lot of the books caught my eye. It's a great curation of fiction, non, memoirs, birding books, children's, etc. They also carry the Village Apothecary candles, which are made locally and have some packaging I really love. Church Street is one of the Birmingham staples. I hope they're open for a million more years. They do what they do exceptionally well.

Despite not being much of a coffee drinker, 7 Brew has become a regular stop for me. I blame my…read moredaughter since it is her favorite place for coffee when she is in town. When she was here for the holidays, I decided to try one of their seasonal energy drinks and have become a regular. I haven't decided on a consistent favorite, so for now I have been trying different featured drinks in a variety of versions from the 7 Energy, Fizz, Tea and Lemonades or recommendations from the Brew Crew. I really like that you can customize pretty much any flavor to one of the different options. Of late I have been consistently going with the featured Love Potion as a sugar free lemonade. The only one that I didn't really care for was the Tropic Thunder which was very surprising since I really like Mango & Pineapple flavors. Maybe I will give it another try and ask for an extra shot of each. For those that haven't tried 7 Brew yet think of a drive thru experience on par with the Chick-Fil-A service model. No one has actually said "My Pleasure" yet but their attitude exudes it. Even when today their system was down and was cash only as well as their tablets weren't functioning you couldn't tell how frustrated they were (I assume because I know I would be).
