Carpe Diem is a charming coffee shop set in a quaint old Victorian house, and is popular in Mobile…read morefor a reason. They roast their beans in house, and the staff is always friendly. For instance, advised that my daughter was shy when the kid hesitated to order one day, the barista brightened up even more and put the girl at ease. Whether their coffee is good or not is completely subjective. I think it's good overall, but it might not be my first choice in town. But it's made with care, and as mentioned, roasted in house. Its popularity speaks to its quality. They also have a very good selection of pastries and other goodies to accompany your coffee, including a Mobile institution--cheesecake from a local company called Cotton Blues. The only gripe I have about Carpe Diem is their seating setup. There simply isn't enough of it. That said, I don't know how they could use the space more efficiently, since the cafe is small as it is. I prefer more private seating, which in other coffee houses I've been to has been accomplished with the judicious use of plants or high-backed chairs. The biggest component of the crowded seating is due to students from Springhill College across the street. Today, for instance, my husband and I were unable to find any seating at all. Even on the days when we can find seating, being entirely surrounded by people working quietly on their laptops feels awkward and lends a library-like feel to the atmosphere. It feels rude to have a conversation at a regular level. I feel like I'm intruding. I don't know how a coffee shop should handle this conundrum, as it's really not good business practice to limit customers' time while there, or to turn away clientele, even in an attempt to please all of their customers. There is already a back room which seems to be an unofficial space dedicated to students, but the overflow still takes up much of the cafe. That said, I enjoy Carpe Diem and going there is a nice little treat. I would definitely recommend it.

Hear me out, I have been passing by this place for months, maybe years, and not given it a second thought. I messed up, this place deserves attention and some love. From the smash burger that I didn't want to like, to the avocado toast that killed it as probably the best version of that dish that I've ever had. The burger was good, beefy and with a decent sear, the brioche bun was nice and sweet. The pickle was really good, didn't love it on top of my bun when I already had it in between the buns as ordered. I sampled my wife's avocado toast and $&@", that was awesome. The restroom was clean and surprisingly well adorned with decor. I really love the vibe of this place. This is a five star review up to this point. Didn't love the 95 health department score with a paragraph of writing at the bottom. The service area was dirty with spilled coffee grounds and spilled drink product visible. I didn't love the staff experience, and for such a well thought out restaurant design, menu, decor and experience, that is the one variable. I will come back, I will bring others and encourage other folks to try. This is a cubic zirconia diamond in the rough and nearly a real diamond in the rough. I want to try your other burgers and brunch offerings. The pickles, if they aren't house made it will break my heart because those were killer spice blend. Chef can I barrow your recipe???

Unfortunately the cinnamon roll was not great. It was hard as a rock. They didn't even warm it up the frosting that went with the cinnamon roll was fairly good but couldn't get over eating a rock.

I love going to al the local libraries here in Mobile, AL. My favorite is the Moore Branch Library…read morewhere I have made friends and several acquaintances there. My major complaint is that the circulation department at West Regional is extremely slow. In particular the library purchases movies for rental. The circulation/preparation department then sits on them for six to eight weeks after release date before making them available to rent. Now on average new release movies cost from $15.00 to $35.00 each. In most cases they will purchase from 12-20 copies of the movie. At the rental rate of 75 cents for a one week rental or the same amount for a three week rental of T.V. shows by the time they are available to rent the library never recoups the initial investment for each title. This is my major beef. The library uses taxpayer funds to make these purchases knowing full well they are going to lose money on each title. It used to not be this way. What can be done? Probably nothing. Who can fight governmental organizations and win!!!

This was super fun but more pricey than we had prepared for. The food was actually better than…read moreexpected and the menu is decent. The chairs were so comfortable. With only 16 chairs in each theater, it was also nice to not feel crowded. The footrest was a must for me being a short person. Without the footrest my feet dangled and didn't hit the floor. The chairs also felt clean. You should buy tickets ahead of time since the theaters are so small. Don't wait on tickets til you get there. Parking was really full but we managed to get a space as someone was leaving. Check-in was easy and the workers were nice. Tickets were about $20 each after tax. So let's get to the food. There are no prices on the website for food, so know it's high. Some entrees were around $16-18. I got a shrimp poboy for $22 that came with a decent sized side. There were quite a few shrimp on the poboy and I enjoyed it. The cookie a la mode was a bit overcooked, but still good. Also liked the shrimp and grits ok. Not the best I've had but not the worst. (I'm looking at you, Dauphins) Honestly the best part is ordering from the iPad and have a nice server bring it to your chair without missing the movie. Total for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 sodas, and one dessert was around $160. I'd rather Noja for that! If we came back, it would have to be for a special movie. We'd definitely eat somewhere else first to save money. But I like to try places at least once, and if you have the cash, this is the lux way to watch a movie in Mobile.

We ordered two biscuits with eggs and both biscuits were hard, dry and flavorless. If I ever made it back to Maple Street, I'd try anything on the menu other than their biscuits, which is a shame considering we were looking forward to good breakfast sandwiches.
