This is the cutest coffee shop I've been to in awhile. Staff was awesome and super inviting from the moment we entered. We ordered 3 caramel brulee lattes, mine decaf The lattes were delicious. There are also products for sale ranging from cups, clothes, bags, journals, pens, paintings, candles, etc. Street parking is available. I would definitely recommend and can't wait to visit again.

Had the caramel brûlée latte and it was fun and delicious. Fun cracking that caramel shell on top which added to the delicious treat. The place was as really roomy with tablee up front and in the back, which had a laid back environment. The service was as very accommodating with a welcoming flavor added to the experience. Please stop by and see app of their products from drinkware to books to boots. Chocolate and more was also available

Caramel Latte

The customer service was amazing!! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. I got a caramel latte with oat milk (which I never usually get oat milk), but it was actually really good! I loved the vibe of the place and they also had a lot of cute accessories and cool things to check out :)

I only recently discovered Grounds, but I am so glad that I did. They have amazing coffee and such a great atmosphere to hangout, study, work, etc. Not to mention, the staff are incredibly friendly. I always feel welcomed in this very inclusive environment. It's such a cool place, and you can check out the "basic" shop in their shared space!

hello cute new coffee/chocolate shop in birmingham you are my new favorite thing! Grounds just opened in December and I highly recommend giving this place a visit! Grounds has such a cute aesthetic, allowing you to shop or lounge around (on fun sofas might I add) while drinking coffee and eating chocolate. Literally what more could you ask for The owners are super kind and overall ambiance of this spot is 10/10 :D Also, all of the drinks they serve have either almond or oat milk and the pastries they have are all gluten free!

Amazing concept! Even better coffee

See all

El Barrio - Chicken quesadilla (get the birria instead...)

El Barrio

When me and mi familia were driving through Birmingham, we stopped at El Barrio for dinner. We had…read morea great experience! The food here was great. For starters, we got chips and queso. They were really good. After enjoying the starters, I ordered some chicken tacos. They were great! The guacamole was definitely my favorite part. I really enjoyed my meal. The service here was great! Our waiter was super kind and helpful. The inside was super clean. The bathrooms were very clean too. This place had a good Ambiance to it. Overall, great Mexican restaurant and I highly recommend trying it if you are ever in Birmingham.

We heard lots of good things about El Barrio and since we were in the downtown area, we decided to…read morecheck it out ourselves... So glad we did! Being downtown, parking is not always the greatest, but it was a lovely evening for walking less than a block to the restaurant. It was a Saturday evening so there was a little wait, but we were able to sit outside and have a drink while we waited. Once inside, the place was dimly lit, really loud with music and very clean. And for having unisex bathrooms, those were surprisingly clean as well. Our waitress was great, I wish I could remember her name... but I do know she was from Cali. We ordered a couple of strawberry margaritas, which were just your basic drink, but still refreshing. Started off with a basket of chips, salsa and fundido. This is considered an appetizer, so no freebies here. The chips were fresh and warm, the salsa had a nice flavor and the fundido was ok according to the kiddo. We had the grilled shrimp tacos with rice and beans. You had to assemble your own tacos tonight, and order rice and beans separately as the taco plate had no sides, but all delicious.... Beans had a nice kick, the shrimp tacos were missing something in my opinion, but not sure what. We also had the best shrimp quesadilla we ever tried. It has overly stuffed and cheesy with wonderful lime cream sauce to go with it. This entree was a huge hit all around and it did come with a side, so no extra charges. To finish off dinner, we all shared the strawberry tres leches and OMG... Absolutely the best we have had in a while. Too bad it's seasonal. Over all, great experience and would definitely g

Peterbrooke Chocolatier Birmingham - Goody bag from their grand opening, thanks Peterbrooke!!

First of all....I am sorry, Madi!! The many pictures I took today at the grand opening all…read moredisappeared after my phone glitched, including the very cute one of you! I will update this review with an even cuter photo of you on my next visit, promise! Okay....now that's out of the way lol. I saw on Facebook that Peterbrooke Chocolatier is having their grand opening today, so I had to go check it out. Boy, am I glad I did! They had samples galore due to the grand opening and I got to try several of their yummy selections, including chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered pineapple, chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered rice krispie treats, etc. While they will not have the same variety of samples on the future outside of the grand opening event, I was told that they will always have a plate of samples out close to the register! They have milk chocolate and dark chocolate for sure....and I am sure white chocolate but I didn't pay attention to that since I am not a white chocolate kind of gal. I can honestly say their milk chocolate is quality stuff. You can definitely tell the difference, no cheap imitation here! Also, they have gelato available in the store.....I want to say at least 10 flavors? I forgot to get an exact count, but they look delicious. Also, and this is a big one for me, they have chocolate caramel green apples. Yes, they do! So there is only one other store in Birmingham that I know of with chocolate caramel apples....but it's no good as the chocolate the other store uses is just not up to par and leaves a funny taste. I eat a lot of chocolate caramel apples and currently I mail-order them as I expect them to be of certain quality. However, I am really excited to try Peterbrooke's chocolate caramel apple next time I make my way there as I already know they have quality chocolate from the samples today! It would be fantastic if I can find a local store with awesome chocolate caramel apples! Anyway, so the fact that my phone glitched and I have no good photos for Yelp other than the one I "borrowed" from their Facebook page and the one I took after I got home of the goody bag they gave out at their grand opening today is the perfect excuse to go back and visit them again....very soon! Oh, wait, almost forgot! In regard to their service? Their employees were super nice! I already mentioned Madi. She was personable and friendly when I met her today and she talked to me about their gelatos and chocolate caramel apples. Nice employees always make any store even more of a pleasure to visit! Thanks, Madi!!

After searching through several Chocolatier's in the Birmingham area looking for family a gift card…read moreso they could have fun choosing their own chocolates, I decided to use Peterbrooke as they had an online e-Gift Card option, where the other shops did not offer this. I decided to call the local store to confirm they would accept the GC and the sweetest lady went above & beyond to help me place an order through the store's register. She sent me a screen shot for confirmation and mailed the GC that day, to family. They were so surprised & pleased! Apparently the online e-Gift Cards can only be used for ONLINE purchases. So keep that in mind.
