Great Coffee and very good environment! Have a cup of coffee and relax for a while. I'm sure I'll be there again.

I love Lee's Coffee so much! They have SO many different coffee flavors and toppings that it's honestly hard to decide what to get. The ambiance is also beautiful and makes you want to stay awhile. They have both an upstairs and downstairs area, plus a music room where you can actually play records, which I thought was such a cool touch! This is such a great spot to study, get some work done, or just catch a chill, relaxing vibe during your lunch break. They also have some really good snacks, and their chicken Caesar wrap is definitely a 10/10! The owner is hilarious, super friendly, and always makes great conversation. You can tell he really creates a welcoming environment, and honestly, that makes you want to keep coming back over and over again. Definitely a hidden gem if you're looking for good coffee, good food, and a laid-back atmosphere! read more

I have no negative thoughts about Lee's Coffee!! Their drinks are so delicious and super customizable! My usual is an Iced Matcha Latte with Vanilla syrup, and it is soooo good!! Their staff is super friendly and are so easy to talk to! They are quick with your drinks and somehow find you in the cafe to bring you your drink. The place offers tons of fun such as board games, Saturday night karaoke nights, or even Trivia nights that are loads of fun!! I have been to 3-4 karaoke nights and every time I go, everyone is having tons of fun while singing and hanging out with friends! When you go to Lee's, you are bound to make a friend and have fun! My friends and I personally like to go into this little room on the side and play card games!! Not only is this place loads of fun, but it can also be a great place to study! I have been to Lee's a handful of times during the day, and it is the perfect study area. The lights are dimmed, and there's definitely plenty of seating upstairs, downstairs, and even some outdoors. You will definitely see me there soon again! Be aware that there is not a parking lot or anything, so be prepared to street park! read more

Finally got a chance to try out Lee's Coffee Shop!! Went to an event hosted by Harold's Records - Vinyl Jukebox and it was such a vibe from start to finish. The atmosphere was super laid-back! Drinks were on point! Love the secret menus that is changed throughout the year. The cozy setup made it easy to connect, chat, or just sit back and get lost in the music. Definitely one of those low-key but memorable spots. I'll definitely be back for more events and/or to just try out the coffee and other drinks. read more

I love a good coffee shop, and this one was kind of hidden, but I absolutely loved the vibe. When you walk in, you'll notice it has two floors with plenty of seating. The customer service was superb, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the drinks. I ordered the Sweet Potato Iced Coffee from the hidden menu, and it was delicious. This is a great place to work remotely or just relax. They also have convenient street parking. read more

I have nothing bad to say about this place! I was pleasantly surprised about the amount of seating inside and out. It's very cozy and on a Saturday morning it wasn't packed so the perfect place to hangout or get some studying done. You could truly spend the whole day here. I got the blueberry muffin latte for my first time. It barely lasted 30 mins, it was so good! I love that you can customize your own latte with so many different syrups. I will most definitely be back. read more

Hi, first when I walked in if you like more of a non gloomy and upbeat vibe this is not the place for you. Second, when I go to order it is very much obvious I have not been here before and the young lady that was taking my order was beyond unhelpful. I clearly didn't know what to order, how their system worked, that they had multiple options of cold foam and what they were. Highly disappointed will not be returning. read more

This was my 1st time visiting Lee's coffee. I came here for a vinyl event and the experience overall was a good one. Harold's Records came and allowed the opportunity for all vinyl lovers to do a 15 minute setlist. It was definitely an experience because I've never worked a switchboard before. Had a few cocktails that were reasonably priced in this economy. This is place is chill and laid back if you're wanting a different work vibe or need a coffee high or a cocktail. I'll definitely have to come back for some of their other events like karaoke or trivia night. read more

This place is such a hidden gem!!!!! The coffee is excellent, and it's such a bonus that they also have a full bar, so it's perfect whether you're stopping in for a morning latte or an evening drink. I built a latte and it was so good. I was able to flavor my cold cream on top with dolce de leche, and it was delicious! I also had salted caramel. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the entire shop is spotless when I visited. They also host trivia nights, which are always a fun way to spend an evening. Great atmosphere, great people, and a place I'll definitely keep coming back to! I absolutely love this place and can't wait to go back!!! read more

I'm not currently studying for anything BUT if I were, I would be posted up at Lee's Coffee! Lee's is a new concept located on the back of Workplay. It doubles as a coffee shop and a place to also get an adult beverage (cocktails, beers, etc.). I loved the staff! They were super nice and they even gave me a koozie! I sat upstairs during my brief visit. The atmosphere is comfortable /casual. Low yet substantial lightening, low music playing in the background - very relaxing! Since I WFH , I have added Lee's to my rotation. I look forward to trying their coffee drinks on my next visit. FYI: Street parking is the only option They have a drink happy hour period Outside seating available read more

The staff here are super friendly and very helpful with the menu. There are so many great options on the menu. You cannot go wrong. Very creative drinks. The vibe there is very cozy and ample space to find seating. It looks like they have events late in the evening as well. I've only been during the day and it's been very nice. The bathrooms are nearby. The seating is very comfortable. There are some outdoor seats as well. The only con is parking is very difficult. read more

Stumbled across this place on my morning walk. They opened in May 2025 and are part of the Workplay facilities. During the day it is primarily a coffee shop. At night it is a bar which gives the place its main vibe. For those looking to get some work done, there are plenty of plugs. The music was at a good volume - white noise essentially. Street parking available with the app and even some free. They also have a limited menu of sandwiches. As I was the only one here (1st Yelp! review), the service was great. Not a lot else around so it's a bit of a destination. read more

Lee's Coffee at WorkPlay is a new favorite of mine! I went mid morning to try it with friends and we all loved it. The inside is so cozy with dim lighting and lots of seating options, upstairs and downstairs. Their menu is extensive with so many different syrups to pick from, literally anything you could imagine. I decided to order off the secret menu and have it picked out for me. I got the smores latte and it was amazing. The toasted marshmallow on top was perfection. The cold foam was so thick, creamy, and delicious. Would definitely recommend to meet with a friend, do some work, or even grab a drink! read more

I visited Lee's coffee and cocktails to try some of their holiday drinks and they were okay. I tried the Naughty Nog and the Sweater Weather. The naughty nog was a twist on typical eggnog. The sweater weather was supposed be apple cider based, but didn't taste like it at all. It was like an overly sweet juice. I would come back to try the coffee, but not the biggest fan of the cocktails. Overall I love the space and could definitely see myself getting work done there. We came on a night they were doing bingo, so that was fun too! read more

There's a lot of nice options here at Lee's Coffee in Workplay. It looks like they are open in the daytime during the week and stay open late on Fridays and Saturdays. I can't have caffeine too late in the day, but it's nice to have this as an option for those who can tolerate it. They have a lot of cocktails here too. I came here for karoake night with friends and ended up getting the key lime pie martini. It was delicious! read more

As soon as I walked inside the building, I was mesmerized by the comforting feeling this place has. It's a very open concept with two levels and outside seating. Staff were super sweet and helpful. The drink menu was extensive and they also had the cute hidden menus that offered a ton of seasonal drinks. I had a hard time trying to pick one thing. I decided to pick something simple off the menu: Iced Lavender Fog Latte with brown sugar and strawberry added. It was AMAZING! I will definitely be back to hopefully try something from the bar. read more

Best place to get coffee in Birmingham!!! Must stop if you are in the area and love coffee!

I've been to Lee's during the day for coffee and at night for cocktails (and trivia). I've really enjoyed my visits both times. The staff are friendly, helpful, and genuinely want you to enjoy your experience. There is plenty of seating and lots of little nooks and crannies you can post up in and get comfy. I haven't had any issues with parking during my visits, but I could see it being difficult if there was an event going on. They also have little paper pads, and you can Build Your Own Latte--super cute! An unexpected bonus for me is that they had a gluten free graham cracker garnish for their Banana Martini (I do think you'd have to special request it), which is delicious! Great atmosphere, delicious drinks, wonderful staff, and good music. Really couldn't ask for more! read more

Saw this place on Instagram and decided to check it out for a study sesh. The vibes are immaculate! It's super cozy and a great place to study. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was soo good. At the end of my studying i decided to get this lemonade vodka cocktail which was also amazing! Everyone who worked there was very nice and helpful. Definitely will come back and want to check out their trivia night as well. read more

Chill ambiance, great drinks. I wish they had food, but otherwise really great experience!

Very good coffee. No bitterness in the espresso, and the milk was steamed very well. Velvety smooth. I tried the white mocha cappuccino (delish). Street parking is not great as the venue is by some auto body shops, and no spots are reserved. Ambiance inside is eclectic and inviting, with some balcony nooks for seating! Prompt and nice service as well. read more
