The flavors are consistently incredible, but the summer strawberry is our absolute favorite; fresh, perfectly balanced, and something we look forward to every year.

The donuts are light in texture and melt in your mouth. I highly recommend them.

There wasn't line when we got there but the crowd usually follows us for some reason so by the time we left there was standing room only and a line out the door. The bakery items were very fresh and tasty. I loved the Swedish gingerbread cookies - light and crisp. The lemon bar was delicious. They also have sandwiches that liked really good. Coffee - I got a vanilla latte extra sweet (no lavender) and my daughter said it was one of the best. I thought it was pretty good. I would go again when back in Birmingham!

I often enjoy getting a pastry and a coffee here. I had a not so good experience last time but…read morewanted to try again. I was never greeted. More customers came in. The young girl making the coffee was loudly talking about someone who messed up their coffee order this morning and how frustrated she was. The only other employee was occupied with what seemed a large order of bread etc. When she finished what she was doing she looked at the now five customers, claustrophobically waiting, and said I'll be right back and disappeared. Leaving the one guy serving the one customer. It was 11:30 am on a rainy day. Figured I could do without a cream cheese croissant and coffee and left. Had already waited 5 as the only other person in there and did not want to wait another undetermined amount of time. I know one of the bakers. It's a shame the front has been so bad these last two times.

Known for its middle eastern style offerings including Yemeni coffee and other kinds of coffee (hot or iced), pastries, crepes, and ice cream you will find it hard to find something you won't like. The place itself is a relaxed environment where you could study or catch up with friends. I tried the iced Aden latte (espresso, milk, pistachio and lavender) and it's the best coffee off of lakeshore. None of the flavors were overpowering the others. I also ordered a biscoff crepe and a sabaya. The sabaya was flaky and crispy, smothered in delicious honey. It wasn't the thickest sabaya but I enjoyed it! The biscoff crepe was so decadent. The crepe itself was soft and chewy, the perfect texture for such a delicious crepe. The fruit given with it also paired well with the drizzled sauce. I am looking forward to supporting this locally owned spot more often!

Every dish is beautifully presented, and the flavors really stand out, making it a perfect choice for a Sunday brunch. The restaurant is very clean, and the servers are attentive and friendly. There is a bit of a rush, but it's really up to you how much you want to eat during the time allotted. The oysters are my favorite--you can have up to 12. The shrimp and grits are outstanding, and the presentation is spot on. Make sure to make a reservation, as it can be difficult to get a table otherwise. There's parking across the street if you arrive early, but by noon the place gets very busy.

There is a great patio for whenever the weather is nice, too. The ambiance was very cozy yet sophisticated. Our waitress was lovely as well. I got one of their gin speciality cocktails which was delish! So light and well balanced. We started with the fried green tomato app, which was 10/10. It had the perfect amount of crunch, and we loved the crab on top and the tang of the remoulade sauce. I got an arugula salad, and my husband got the scallop special of the evening. Both were very good dishes. We finished with the cookie skillet for dessert which was very rich but delicious. It helped having the vanilla ice cream on top to cut the chocolatey-ness. We devoured it all. Cannot wait to return! Hopefully for a happy hour, which is 4-6.
