    Coffee grounds in my cup.
    eric m.

    Ordered a 2% cafe au lait. Literally the worst cup of coffee I have ever had from a coffee shop. Unfortunately, I didn't take a sip at the counter because I had no reason to expect it wouldn't be at least good as it usually is at O'Henry's. I could taste a hint of cinnamon and there were more than a few grounds at the bottom of the cup. I threw it away when I got home, I didn't even bother to drink the rest of it. Waste of money. Is there anywhere in Birmingham left to get good coffee on the go??

    Don't tell the other locations...but this one's my favorite! I adore the SOHO area and have frequented it even more these last six months since I box at the studio down the street from O'Henry's. It's a cute spot that I love to study in or just relax at since it's also so close to UAB. The staff are without a doubt my favorite part-not sure the names but there's two in particular that are absolute beams of sunshine. Always joking around and smiling behind the counter no matter the time of day. On my most recent visit, I decided to be *that* patron and ask for what the staff recommended, and was greeted with such happiness! She asked if she could make me something special after figuring out some of my basic preferences and even said she'd make me something else free of charge if I didn't love it- spoiler: loved it! She was also extremely tentative to the fact I can't eat pork just from noticing my hijab. I saw that the egg bites were freshly made and ordered one, and very sweetly & apologetically she responded saying she figured I wouldn't be able to have them due to them containing sausage. Love love LOVE being seen like this!!! Need the other locations to take notes!

    The first thing you notice when you step into O'Henry's is the SMELL. It's rich in that beautiful coffee aroma that made me want a cappuccino in my hand that very moment. Okay, that a little intense, but it's true!! They have TONS of options to purchase coffee by the pound - decaf, light, medium, dark, Sumatra, flavors like blueberry and cinnamon streusel, coffee from all over Africa and South America, and more. It was extensive! And while we didn't try any food, they had an extensive menu of snacks, pastries, etc to choose from. And they looked delicious. And yes, the cappuccino I did end up enjoying at the end was wonderful. I'd definitely go again!

    Popular local coffee shop. I don't drink coffee but a like a good tea. The Piper Mint Tea (sweetened with honey) was just the pick me up that I needed. Some of the staff was friendly. The cashier left some happiness to be desired.

    It was my favorite study spot in college, it was my parent's favorite coffee shop in town, and it's a frequent stop if I travel through Birmingham for work. You can't beat the coffee or ambiance. Their drinks can be decadent and almost dessert-like, but even their classic black coffee is special. Every time I've walked through the door, it's like walking into a Dickens novel. The aesthetics are wonderful and the aroma of the coffee has storybook magic. I'm waiting and hoping the day they come to Nashville is sooner rather than later!

    What a charming bakery/coffee shop in a super cute almost European nook in town. If you're…read morevisiting, I definitely recommend taking a drive to this area. Progressive area - Seems to be... There wasn't line when we got there but the crowd usually follows us for some reason so by the time we left there was standing room only and a line out the door. The bakery items were very fresh and tasty. I loved the Swedish gingerbread cookies - light and crisp. The lemon bar was delicious. They also have sandwiches that liked really good. Coffee - I got a vanilla latte extra sweet (no lavender) and my daughter said it was one of the best. I thought it was pretty good. I would go again when back in Birmingham!

The young girl making the coffee was loudly talking about someone who messed up their coffee order this morning and how frustrated she was. The only other employee was occupied with what seemed a large order of bread etc. When she finished what she was doing she looked at the now five customers, claustrophobically waiting, and said I'll be right back and disappeared. Leaving the one guy serving the one customer. It was 11:30 am on a rainy day. Figured I could do without a cream cheese croissant and coffee and left. Had already waited 5 as the only other person in there and did not want to wait another undetermined amount of time. I know one of the bakers. It's a shame the front has been so bad these last two times.

This was the spot we would all come to to do homework. It's still got that same warmth and charm. I came in on a Wednesday morning to sit and do some work. I ordered a cappuccino, bran muffin, and a breakup cookie to take home. The cappuccino is just as expected. Served at the perfect temp, great flavor. The bran muffin, which was my attempt to be healthy, was really a delicious stand-out. I would definitely get that again. And, of course, the breakup cookies are some of the best cookies in town. They bake all of the baked goods in-house, I believe, which gets a round of applause from me. A lot of the recipes are still the same ones I remember from 7 years ago. One thing I noticed that's even BETTER than I remember was the books and gift selection. A lot of the books caught my eye. It's a great curation of fiction, non, memoirs, birding books, children's, etc. They also carry the Village Apothecary candles, which are made locally and have some packaging I really love. Church Street is one of the Birmingham staples. I hope they're open for a million more years. They do what they do exceptionally well.

Seating: Both inside and outside seating. Great for groups and patio seating outside to keep you dry. Vibes: It's in a plaza, maybe 10 minutes away from Downtown Birmingham. The plaza consists of restaurants, a gym, and a grocery store. The spot itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A great place to hang out with friends or be friends. FOOD: Peppermint Boba (Recommend) A seasonal drink that was a pleasant delight. The peppermint wasn't too strong, it was well balanced with milk and the boba was chewy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The store opened and there was a rush of 3 customers. The kid in front took care of it well. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great! This is a solid enough representation of boba so it's glad to be shared here in the Dirty South! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and I appreciated the range/variety they provided. For those craving a boba fix, be sure to check this place out! Shoutouts to Ashley and Tam Duong for bringing this delight to Alabama and best wishes to new owner, Hugo Anguiano, and his team on this business.
