Quaint coffee shop and bakery run by French Cathlic nuns in downtown Birmingham. The shop is clean…read moreand the tables are cute with wicker chairs and white tablecloths. The nuns are welcoming and happy to answer your questions. There's a good selection of sweet and savory selections. My companions enjoyed a mushroom crepe and apple pie. Being GF the selection was limited to two kinds of cake and creme brulee which is not my ideal choice for breakfast. Just keep that in mind if you have dietary restrictions. Otherwise everything was tasty. There are also religious souvenirs/gifts sold on premises as well as some food items such as jams and pickles.

Lots of pastry items on display, packaged cookies, religious section too. The bakery goods and pastries don't look so good in person. Took a pass. Grabbed a small green tea (Steep) and a large oat milk latte. Their large coffee comes with two espresso shots, added one more shot. $11.77 All ingredients are organic. The green tea is super hot, really needs two sleeves. Took the top off to cool down the scalding water some. My husband said his oat milk latte isn't so good, he said he's good if we never come back at all. He was confused how a simple drink could come out so badly. My green tea tastes like Lipton, no hint of green tea flavoring to me.

Pretty uptown decor though the prominence of "To-Go" orders seems too in-your-face for the more humane, walk-in or dine-in orders. The proof of this is mgmt's posting of shrill "PKEASE DON'T TOUCH!!" Signs. The in-house orders are much quieter right next to them but why put the other less committed customer orders in all our faces? Nice comfortable interior (too few seats) and nice outdoor patio as well.

Despite the place being empty on Sunday morning, the staff still made so many mistakes with our order it was ridiculous. There is no cream/sugar/stirs station so every time you need something you have to ask. The coffee was good, so were the cider donuts, but that was it. The avocado toast has almost zero avocado, I couldn't taste it at all. The breakfast sandwich was made on a stale and reheated bagel from the bag. We were not impressed at all, and won't be back. It also costed is $30 for a very poor breakfast experience.

They carried the viral fruit desserts that look exactly like the fruit being represented and taste just like that fruit also. We got a few different flavors and shared them with the family we were visiting. We were all impressed and pleased. On our 2nd visit we had the ham, egg, and cheese croissant. It was large enough that we could have shared 1 between 2 of us and still be satisfied. The egg was so fluffy, the cheese was very mild and the croissant was soft, buttery, and tender. Yummy is an understatement. There are a couple of tables inside but there is a beautiful outdoor patio set up with several tables where you can sit and enjoy your food and coffee among friends.

The definition of hipster is to have a store that you can only find if you know about it, already…read more So this place shares a building with a barbershop, which happens to be on the second floor, but the coffee shop has no signage. Was there in early June and the coffee and service were both good, as was the savory pastry I got. The main issue with this place is the noise... not for the usual reason in coffeeshops where they play music too loud, but it's a raucous and busy place, which speaks well of the business. But far worse than noisy conversation there's this bell on both the front and back entrances that plays a little five note electric tune every time someone comes in or leaves... Why is it there? Why is it needed? The fact that only a few people have noted it here perhaps speaks more of our noise-polluted lives than anything else, but it's maddening as this thing goes off literally every minute or more, constant, tintinnabulations of the bell, bell, bell, bell, bell... There was an employee taking a break on his phone listening to YouTube videos out loud, too... I guess we're all just so used to this now. So if you want a quiet cafe to get work done, this ain't it. Maybe it's more of a Central Perk scene, with people meeting socially, all who liked the place before it became cool.
