You can also purchase bags of coffee from multi roasters if you prefer to make your coffee at home, the selection is incredible. The large open windows providing natural sunlight makes this the perfect place for a coffee on a beautiful day. The espresso drinks here are always top notch and what I'd suggest for anyone dropping by. However, they do offer pourovers now which I've been gravitating towards as the talented barista (Cam I think) has been doing them well with the various options to choose from

Daily Edition has been on my list of coffee shops to try for a minute. I finally got to stop by and…read moreI got the rosemary fig latte and a berry danish. Both were delicious! The flavor combo worked so well in the coffee and you can tell they use high quality speciality coffee. They also serve last call baking pastries aka the best bakery in Birmingham. The service was quick, as there was no wait. They have two tables to sit at, but no outlets so definitely more of a takeout coffee shop than to work from home or study. Will definitely be back!

Bayt Al Qahwah has traditional Middle Eastern coffee offerings in addition to Western cafe staples, as well as teas and a variety of matchas. On this visit, I was able to try a hot pistachio latte and a specialty drink, their iced Obsidian Fog latte, made with white chocolate, vanilla, and ube. Both were perfectly sweet, and paired nicely with a sabaya, a traditional Yemeni dessert made with flaky layers of pastry dough filled with butter and topped with honey. If you've never tried it, consider it a must on your next visit to this cafe. The exterior of the cafe is unassuming, but the modern luxe interior maintains a bright atmosphere thanks to a front wall of windows that let in a ton of natural light. I could easily sit here with my laptop and work while enjoying a coffee or tea and a sweet treat. There is a Prayer Room, and there are two Conference Rooms available for rent. The staff are friendly. The bathrooms are clean. High chairs are available. I will definitely be returning to try other coffee flavors and the matcha too.

I also ordered the pistachio latte, which wasn't my favorite, but I'm admittedly a bit of a coffee snob haha. My mom, however, really enjoyed her Biscoff latte. She hasn't stopped talking about it. Even though my order wasn't a hit for me personally, the atmosphere and service were great. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other menu items.

I tried the Lavender Basil latte and really liked it. It was a little weird seeing basil leaves in my coffee but it added a fresh twist. We also ordered a couple of their bagel sandwiches and both were solid. Nothing extraordinary but satisfying. The service was friendly and the space is bright and spacious. If I were a local, I wouldn't mind coming here to get some work done. Overall, a nice little coffee spot in a great location!

I felt like the prices were a bit higher than other shops, but I'm one to pay the price if it means the coffee beans are quality and that the staff is paid a living wage. With the prices being what they are, I was not keen on the extra charge for an alt milk. There is plenty of indoor seating and a merchandise area where you can buy coffee, equipment, and shirts. They sell Proud Mary Coffee, as well as Rowan Coffee Roasters (which they currently use for drinks). Laptops are not allowed on the weekends-- gotta love that intentional disconnect from technology to connect with humans irl. :)

It was so surprising- It had a sweet and fruity taste, and I asked the owner about it and he said it's a special type of coffee fermented with fruits and that he cycles through different blends for the iced coffee often. I love the intention and creativity put in to the process. I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor and he offered me to try the cold brew instead, which was very kind and a relief because I hate telling anyone I don't like a drink! The cold brew was much more up my alley, very strong and dark and it was great without any syrup or creamer. I love the interior of the shop and the sense of comfort you get being in there. They had a ton of coffee beans And I asked the owner which would be the best dark roast and he picked one out for me that's been pretty good so far (although not as dark as I expected). My friend got a dirty chai and I don't think she was too thrilled with it. But I would definitely come back to try some new things!

I will say parking was a bit of a pain. I cheated and parked at Chick fil a but I don't think that would've worked if I'd stayed for more than enough time to order and go. Fortunately I was in and out fairly quickly. That said, if I lived in the area, I'd love to hang out for a while. The atmosphere is just perfect. Cool, a tiny bit punk rock, great music, powerful air conditioning, fun stickers and stuff on the tables for local bands, breweries, and celebration of immigrants. Service was super sweet and working diligently. The barista who spoke with me answered my questions happily and made great recommendations. I ordered an iced horchata latte for myself, an iced chocolate Abuelita for my dad, and a chocolate concha to take home to my husband. Our drinks came out quickly and we were on our way. She warmed up the concha without asking, which wound up not being necessary but would've been appreciated had I eaten it immediately. My iced drink was a little over-full and did squeeze out some when I stuck a straw in. Sticky! No big deal, we had wet wipes in the car. The horchata latte was perfection. Sweet, creamy, strong cinnamon and coffee flavors. Exactly how I imagined it would be! My dad said he felt the chocolate Abuelita was a little light on coffee flavor but he rarely drinks iced coffee or "fancy coffee," so YMMV. The concha was tasty, subtly sweet, and soft when I got around to eating it later. Will definitely return on future trips to Birmingham. Thanks so much, Bandido!

I have not been here in the evening yet, but it turns into a very lively full service cocktail bar.
