I told her it was my wife and my anniversary and I needed something bronze and some form of pottery. They didn't have bronze but they had copper which is close enough she showed me around the whole store and gave her opinions and what she thought would be a good gift. The younger lady then showed me some of her art which was greeting cards and stuff so I bought one of hers too. Excellent service and great local art and souvenirs. Highly recommend.

I saw a lot of cute stuff. Prices varied. I am a sucker for a koozie and a coffee mug! Sooooo of course, I had to have the Birmingham koozie and coffee mug! Felt like a true tourist in my own city. It was GREAT!!! I highly recommend Alabama Goods if you are looking for all things Alabama for you or for someone else! Great service & great inventory to select from.

I enjoy coming to this plant store to window shop muse on the possibilities and find just what I…read morewant. I like the ferns, Japanese maples and fruit trees. Ferns are great plants they take minimal care and maintenance and have so many variaties. So too with the Japanese maples. I guess I like low maintenance plants. I saw for the first time lemon, lime, and orange trees. Impulse almost got the better of me. But I have made a decision to return and pick up some blueberry bushes.

My husband and I like to go to the gardens to walk and then stop by the store to look around. The other day, we bought a "hard to find" type of fern and it was reasonably priced. This place is a lot more than a plant shop and you could spend hours just looking at all the interesting things they have for sale. Let me say, however, bring your wallet because they can be pricey. Also be careful if you have kids with you because the shop can be crowded and things can easily be broken. The positives are that the shop layout is beautiful and the decorators took a lot of time to make it visibly appealing to the customers. And, the staff here are friendly and very knowledgeable about plants.

Worst customer service experience. Owner lied and was deceitful towards me over a simple return…read more Had receipt and same credit card to return 4 days after purchasing, and owner denied merely because she remembered that she wrapped this item as a "gift" and she does not give money back for gifts, but will for regular purchases. This is despite confirming via telephone the day before that my money would be returned with the receipt and same card. I will never purchase in this store again and will also tell my friends to not shop in this store. Never felt so swindled by a retailer.

I'll definitely be back to find gifts for the holidays and those hard-to-shop-for women in my life.

It is like a magical French bakery/general store, tucked away like a secret garden. Am I in south France or Birmingham? HARD TO TELL I don't know if I enjoyed the treats more or all the visual delights. The treats were just amazing. I brought my husband and all of my kids so we got a nice sampling of goodies from the cases. It was all perfection. Cookies were crispy on the edges, appropriately soft in the middle. The almond cake was buttery and sweet, but not too sweet. Muffins were excellent. The food is so well done. The ambiance here? Extraordinary. Every corner, every ceiling tile, every display has been so thoughtfully curated. This place was such a treat for my eyes and my imagination. I could sit for hours and just enjoy all the clever ways furniture is used. My kids played in the little play area- even that was done so beautifully! The store had such a wide selection of cute tea towels and little gifts. If you want to surprise someone with a beautiful little happy, or birthday gift, or Mother's Day gift, there's plenty to choose from here! I rarely buy things from little stores like this, but I purchased several gifts for girlfriends and my mom and an apron for myself. It's easy to get caught up!

More of a simple southern antique style. Baristas were extremely helpful and patient as I pondered my order! I ended up ordering a delicious warm breakfast sandwich and a cold brew to drink with it! SOO delicious!! I am a sucker for a good breakfast and coffee! The menu was large and well diverse: they even had a cortado on the menu which I cant get at all coffee shops!   I am surprised not more people know about the place. I had never heard of it until I was scrolling through highly rated coffee shops on Yelp! The space inside is large and can seat lots of people! For being in Birmingham this surprised me; I feel like most coffee shops here are fairly small.    I also appreciated how relaxed and welcoming the environment felt. It would be such a great spot for studying, meeting a friend, or even having a casual work meeting. The music wasn't too loud, and everything felt clean and well-kept. Overall, I would definitely come back and recommend The General to anyone looking for a cozy, charming coffee shop with great food and even better service.
