Really cool place! The staff is very friendly, and they have a lot of cool drinks! They have lots of musical acts and DJ's through the week which is really fun, but the side rooms are still quiet and intimate. Nice little patio too, and free parking out front.
Such a great vibe! I had looked up places in town to get a Vietnamese coffee and House Eleven was the first place that came up. So on my way to work on a friday I stopped by. My coffee was great! The atmosphere inside was so nice! People were there early, chilling, conversing and just enjoying the morning. Once I ordered my drink, they were so nice and very conversational. Let me know different things about the menu and I even saw that they collab with others for different events. I will be back!
Hello, this venue is amazing! It's like a European place. I was stationed in Europe way back. Thuy one of the owners and staff was so nice! Drinks came out fast! We heard some orginal music on a regular couch! Really cool! This is a place for am and pm! Go check it out! They did have a Cajuan Chef prepare food out in the back and the pasta and chicken was fantastic!
I don't know who decorated this place but they did an amazing job and the whole spot is just dripping with warm and cozy vibes. Inside there are several rooms with couches for lounging. The patio out back has some nice tables as well as a stage for occasional events. I caught a 3 piece jazz band here and they were killing it! It's also got great coffee, (beans from June), and great pastries, (from Last Call), so you can be sure that if you stop in for your morning caffeine fix that you'll get top of the line goods across the board. I've tried a few things on the menu and so far it's been all hits and no misses. Aside from that, at night the bar opens up and they've got a well curated list of interesting cocktails that should satisfy anyone looking to get a few drinks and enjoy the evening. So this place kind of has it all. Coffee and cocktails, cozy vibes inside, a good backyard patio surrounded by trees, and a genuinely friendly and welcoming staff that seems to be doing a great job. Easiest 5 star in a while. Get down there.
I finally made it out to House Eleven & it was outstanding! My visit was on Friday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. I parked on the street in front of the building. I later discovered that there is a parking lot on the side of the building. So don't panic if you don't see it at first lol. This place is beautiful inside! I made my way to the rear of the house to order my coffee. The staff were fun & chill. I ordered a cortado bc that's my thing whenever I hit coffee spots in town. I sat in one of the front rooms, near a window to enjoy my yummy drink and to do a little work( of course). It's was a great hour or so well spent. I love that after 5pm no laptops are allowed and you must be over 21 to enter. I plan to return soon to checkout their cocktail menu!
House Eleven passes the vibe check. It's a coffee shop and bar that uses the genius design of converting an old house into a welcoming space. It has different rooms to chill in that are perfect for studying, catching up with old friends etc. Each room has its own thing going on, all with comfortable furniture. If you can't find a spot inside no worries because they have a patio that's just as laid back. I only came for quick drink but I will be frequenting House Eleven as my go to coffee place. There's no other place quite like it in Birmingham!
Best pastries and croissants So buttery and decadent Place was lovely with ample sunny and shady areas to sit and do work We caught up with friends I wasn't a fan of my drink strawberry matcha. I'm always trying to appreciate matcha but it's not gonna happen. It's an acquired taste that I can't like. Theirs wasn't very sweet and the strawberry was not coming thru as much as I would like But that fruit danish with the custard was a symphony of yum. Plenty of parking Place is kinda decorated like 3-4 big living rooms with different vibes Employees nice and nonchalant. They stay out of your way but are kind The kids enjoyed the back patio Ac was working good!
In astrology, the 11th House signifies friendships, social networks, community involvement, hopes, and aspirations. It represents the groups and communities you are involved in, your relationship with friends, and your broader social sphere. It also governs your long-term goals and dreams, and how you contribute to the collective. What a vision to take an older home and renovate it into a beautiful community space. The home is absolutely stunning. The baristas were amazing and the coffee was delicious. Hubby had the Honey Nut Love. Honey in our coffee isn't something we usually do so it was great to try something new. I had the Honey Citrus Fizz with Matcha, Topo Chico, OJ, & honey. They made it light on the OJ & honey for me and it was terrific. It was a busy Sunday morning so we had to wait a bit but there is plenty of comfortable seating while you wait. This is not a drive thru coffee kiosk; everything is made to order and is well worth the wait. Would love to see before & after pix of this beautiful old home. Highly recommend!
Stopped by here to do a little bit of work and reading. The place was very serene inside and out. I spent about 2-3 hours there without even realizing. It was not that crowded when I went. I sat outside and inside. The only downside about being outside is that I wasn't able to find a plug for my laptop, but there are plenty inside. I tried their PSL Forever coffee and it was ok. A bit pricey. Service was pleasant. Will drop by again to enjoy the workspace.
Super cute decor, great coffee and pastries. Lovely place to work or hang. I only went in the am but it also turns into a bar at night! Wish I lived in Birmingham so I could be a regular :(
This was my second time trying HouseEleven. The Caphe Sua Da is very strong and yummy, but i usually like to ask for more sweetener. I also got the Strawberry Dreams, but it was very disappointing. There wasn't any matcha taste and the strawberries were super sour. Basically tasted like watery strawberries. It was pretty, but I probably would not get that drink again. Wish they would use a higher grade matcha. Everything else was great. The staff were super helpful and friendly. The vibes is great with separate rooms and a back yard for studying or hanging out.
House Eleven is such a cool space! It's a renovated house which gives it such a cozy atmosphere. There are different rooms each with plenty of seating to pick from. There is also an outdoor patio with plenty of seating. They have coffee, matcha, and tea as well as a full bar. I tried the matcha and was not a fan but I'd love to try their coffee (it's from domestique). You order at the counter and then grab your drinks when they are ready. Perfect place to spend the day studying or to grab drinks with friends. I will definitely be back!
I stopped in last month while I was in town and loved the vibes. The bartenders were super nice and friendly and the drinks were good. They had my favorite local beer- Paradise Now. Can't wait to come back sometime soon to spend more time in the patio!
Love it here! It's a great place to come and get work done, meet with friends, grab a coffee (or a harder choice), listen to jazz, or even dance a bit. As in the name, House Eleven has several rooms with ample (and comfortable) seating. Indoor and outdoor. Are you a porch person? Gotcha. Prefer more of a cozy fireplace? Check? Or would you rather take in some fresh air on the back patio? You're covered either way. The coffee is great and the people are even more wonderful. Show up and support local! read more

I am so glad I tried House Eleven this morning-- it is now ranked #1 on my downtown Birmingham coffee tour. The building was hard to spot at first, but nearby parking was easy to find. The building is a renovated house and offers an abundance of indoor and outdoor seating. It's a coffee shop by day, and after 4pm, it turns into a 21+ bar and venue that restricts laptop use. The barista was super friendly, and it was obvious they were a pro because the espresso was dialed in. Aside from your usual espresso based drinks, they offer tea and seasonal drinks, like strawberry matcha, as well as pastries. I do feel like it's a bit overpriced and outdated to charge $1 for alt milk, but that seems to be the norm in Birmingham. All in all, I'm impressed with the type of atmosphere that House Eleven is delivering to 1st Avenue North and would definitely go back to try other drinks. read more

This is a very aesthetically pleasing coffee shop/bar/event space. This is a house that's been converted into a coffee shop and I love it. I ordered an iced chai tea latte with almond syrup ahd a fruit danish. Plenty of seating inside but opted to sit out back. There is a small stage on the back. Super cool place to work or read a book. The owner was there and he was very nice and provided knowledge regarding some of the coffee blends. Highly recommend read more

Nice place to hang out., have a meeting or gathering. The inside is like a house with several rooms full of furniture. There is a bar area. Outdoor seatingThey have coffee, teas, pastries, Lemonades. I really wasn't hungry but got an Arnold Palmer anyway. Could have been a little sweeter. I did meet the owner and talked with him and to a few customers. Owner was very nice. Everyone there was super friendly. My wife and daughter loved the drinks they had and the pastries as well. They have an outdoor area in the back with stage. The inside and outside are both groomed very well. There is also street parking and more in a lot to the left side a few lots down. They also turn into a bar later in the day. Very close to the Woodlawn library read more

Super cute and cozy place!! Everyone was so nice and I loved it they had alot of amazing options I went during the night time and I still had a good caramel latte will be going in the morning! :) read more
Great ambiance, DJ set outside on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Vibes are reminiscent of a lofi rustic, bittersweet academia. The structure is an old house, very unique and cozy. The matcha flavor was strong by in the strawberry drink, not too sweet at all. The citrus drink was lighter and more fizzy refreshing. I can't wait to return and try a Last Call Pastry or a June espresso drink. Service was very speedy. read more

I come here all the time, I'm a local neighbor and I love to shop at this family owned business! The service and drinks are absolutely phenomenal, currently listening to bossa nova while I get my work done. I loved the backyard this past spring and summer. Enjoyed fun dj sets and wine chats with a couple of friends. I tell everyone about it, I feel like family here. Drinks are always changing, and I love it. I love coffee because it makes me smile every time. The pastries are always fresh, and I don't have to stand in a crazy long line for them. The cocktails are exactly right and have great fusions! It's a favorite of mine in BHM. read more
Immaculate vibes in this new space! The historic house combined with the ornate decor is stunning. Each room is unique and beautiful. We loved the variety of drink offerings too - so many options! We look forward to coming back for events here! read more

Great ambiance. It's inside what appears to be a historic house, and has beautiful decor. Dark academia if that's your thing. Street parking only. I stopped by for national tequila day- they had $8 margs. As someone who doesn't like tequila, hear me when I say that the strawberry marg, raspberry marg, cucumber marg, and the spicy cucumber margs were all delicious. The two cucumber margs were the best. Just beware, if you get the spicy one, maybe pack a tums or something. Worth it though. The margarita rims are spicier than other bars around bham as well. Tastes like they used a house cayenne blend instead of just tahin. I tried an iced vanilla latte as well, and it was pleasant. The DJ music was loud (and good), but there were still quieter areas to sit if you prefer that. The bartenders were nice as well. Cute place!! read more
