Ok it's coffee time and Starbucks does not disappoint me when I place one of my favorite orders. This location is a local go to for that pick me up and light breakfast. The service was good and they were friendly. I ordered through the app which is a good way for me to tailor my order. This location is pretty busy most mornings but worth it to get one of my favs. read more

This is the local Starbucks I go to and today's visit was fine as always. I order from the app and go in to pick up my order bc the drive-through line is usually long. The only drawback is that the parking lot is small and shared with the nail salon next door so sometimes I have to make a loop or two before a spot opens up. This Starbucks has been remodeled and has indoor and outdoor tables and chairs. read more

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but my husband is so sometimes, I indulge in a coffee drink. This isn't the best Starbucks I've been to but it's definitely not the worse. (The worse goes to a Starbucks I visited at an airport.) Overall, it meets my infrequent need for a caffeinated coffee drink and it's close to where I live. The employees have always been nice when I visited and I've never had to wait too long to get my items. I love the oatmeal, especially the agave nectar that comes with the oatmeal. When I do get a drink, I normally get the tall soy white mocha. To me, it's like hot chocolate with espresso. Sometimes, I get the iced tea at Starbucks and I've never been disappointed by my selection. I normally choose something fruity or something made with green tea. The drive thru at this location normally moves kind of slowly. If you order through the Starbucks app, you can literally walk in and get your things with little to no wait. This location is conveniently located so the next time I get an urge for a latte, I'll stop by again. read more

I would come to this location at the Grove Hoover if I had a gift card or if someone insisted to actually meet me here, but that's about it. The service was slow based on my first experience. I ordered a breakfast sandwich last week along with my coffee. The sandwich was delicious and hot and tasted great, but it took over 10 minutes to get my drink order out. I don't think I've ever waited that long at Starbucks to get to coffee and by that time my sandwich was halfway cold. The layout is rather unimpressive-all the chairs look the same ( and kind of uncomfortable) and I don't recall seeing a couch or any cushioned seats like some stores; there are tables with umbrellas outside though, so that is a plus for good patio weather! Overall, it's ok. I may return and give it another chance eventually. read more

Gotta drop this one down to 3 stars for the simple fact that they informed me this morning that they just don't take $50 bills. I forgot my wallet but had a $50 and tried to pay. They said they don't take anything larger than a 20. I was at the window, in a hurry, the coffee was already made and it was during a peak time. They couldn't make 40 bucks in change and so I had to just drive away without coffee. This is a stupid idea. Whoever is responsible for the policy of not being able to make $40 in change during peak times at any kind of business is aj idiot. Now because I don't have time, I'll start my day without caffeine, and they lost the opportunity to sell me a glass of milk with a few shots of espresso in it for 7 bucks. Everyone loses. What a stupid policy. I must have been to some Starbucks or another 4 or 5 times a week for years and I've never heard of this. read more

This is my favorite location!! I am closer to the Bessemer location and they're ok BUT this location has served me so well. I don't do coffee so I always get something that is creme based and they never bat an eye. I've had questions about different drinks, hot and cold, in an attempt to try something new. They are always happy to offer suggestions and I love that! I think the biggest reason that this place is my favorite is because twice I've gotten a drink at two different locations (one in the Target and one in the mall) for convenience sake, and they were terrible! I stopped by this location to buy another one to replace the one I just bought. BOTH times they've not let me pay for them! They made it right for the other places. That's a win in my book! Now I don't even bother with the other locations. The staff is always super friendly! And because of that friendliness, the atmosphere is great!! So... next time you need a Starbucks fix, hit this location up! You won't be disappointed!! Also, side note, download their app if you haven't already! With the app you earn stars toward free stuff. AND you get a free drink on your birthday!! Cheers! read more

Everything was correct, but my drink had to be remade because it was basically the consistency of water; the food was also not warm, and tasted as if it had been heated 30 minutes prior to being given to us (the actual amount of time we waited to get from the ordering screen to the window). If most Starbucks locations are going to almost always have long lines, then something needs to be implemented to at least try to prevent iced/cold drinks from melting and a way to keep food warm. Separately, this location is just no longer practical with the amount of people coming and going. The parking lot is basically inaccessible because of everyone using the drivethru. read more

It's new, clean, has lots of tables to work and the staff is really friendly. I have stopped at this Starbucks location several times to grab a coffee to go, both via the drive thru and the inside counter. Each time my order has been correct and the coffee always tastes the same, so no complaints. The drive thru line can be long during peak hours, but moves pretty quickly. The interior is a large space and has a good layout so it keeps the flow moving. You can find the normal coffee menu, with light bites and coffee mugs, etc.. for purchase up near the register. My most recent visit included a full day of being parked at one of their tables to work. Lots of seating options, all tables include power and of course free WIFI. The chairs are on the hard side, but were fine since I had a lot of work to do and didn't want to be too comfy. I noticed that many people opt to work from here... some were here the same hours as me and others were parked for an hour or so. I found the others to be respectful of working in a public space -ie, if they had a phone call, spoke quietly or stepped outside. The staff is here are really hard working - when they are not helping customers, they are wiping down tables, cleaning the back area, refreshing the restrooms, etc.. This is great option to work if you are looking for a change of scenery. read more

My wife and I stopped in to grab breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and tea. I attempted to use a $2 breakfast sandwich coupon (sent to my email, printed w/ code), the cashier eyed it for a moment, then asked for a Starbucks card or barcode in my phone. I stated, "I received it through email and printed it yesterday." The coupon had a code and a prompt to print and use, but didn't note the necessity to have a card. After quickly realizing she was only doing her job and respectfully informing me of their policy, I told her that I didn't want to use the coupon and started to pay. Seconds later, another employee in-passing stopped and grabbed the coupon from her, began to investigate, then restated what she just told me as if trying to treat it as an argument. I told this "manager wannabe" that I already understood what she told me and I just want to pay w/out using the coupon. I wasn't even sure why he intervened. It was as if he had an axe to grind or thought there was an argument to be won. It was 8:48AM! I was hardly in the mood to argue and rarely do before having my coffee:) He (short, gray/black curly hair and glasses) held up the coupon and actually began to read part of the directions to me! There were customers behind me, its 8:48 in the morning, the cashier already explained (very politely and respectfully) it to me, and this guy rudely escalated the situation to make it seem like I hadn't conceded before he even entered the convo. In the nicest way I could (@8:50am), I said "why are we still talking about this, can I just pay and be done with it?". The nice cashier watching this...bless her heart...apologized and provided my change. I felt bad for her and the other coworkers who had to work w/ him :( the customer behind me whispered a supportive comment affirming my concerns. My wait was normal, but they (accidentally, I'd like to think) forgot my coffee, until I reminded them. Anyways, no one is going to stop going to Starbucks BC of this complaint, but if you go to this one, beware of this guy. He's not a morning person! read more

The owner clearly picked out incredible folks to be here who make Baba Java feel both welcoming and well kept. The interior of the space is fairly basic coffee shop design, but admittedly, a little bit dated in 2026 and lacks the unique vibe of some other independent coffee shops. Window views facing the strip mall parking lot don't create much of an ambiance either. With that said, design is not the main thing to come here for. The coffee is excellent and priced very reasonably, offering a great value for an establishment of this sort. There is easy to access WiFi and an overall feeling of being welcomed. A solid little coffee shop that allows customers to support some local business owners instead of a big chain.

The other BC is on 280 and there's one more in Fairhope. All are owned by the same individual who also owns their sister store the Red Mountain Expresso. BC is not technically another "pop up" coffee place because this is actually a brick and concrete building albeit it's just big enough to be a full service drive thru, but it doesn't have any seating inside or out. Just a drive thru. The drive-thru is planned nicely so it's easy to get to the order window then around to the pickup/pay window. Their menu options long and diverse but also typical of any coffee place. They also serve fresh daily sausage biscuits and pimento cheese biscuits. They have specialties like the Turtle latte, Classics like cold brew, blended drinks like frappes and non coffee drinks like iced teas and chai. I was lucky today because they are in middle of running a special called Frappy Hour good for another week. From 3-6pm all medium frappes are $2! I tried the Java Chip and Cookie & Cream. She asked me if I wanted the "coffee" or "milk" based. The coffee is the traditional way but the milk would be more like a milkshake. I chose coffee. I didn't get whipped cream which was offered. I only had to wait a couple minutes after paying. She even gave me a frequent visitor card. Get 10 drinks, get the 11th free! The cookies and cream was good, but the java chip was even better. Nicely blended, cool and refreshing on this warm afternoon. Yom Yom Yom Yom. It hit the spot! Welcome to Pelham BC!

There were so many pastry options but we decided on the cinnamon roll and it was so good warmed up! The vanilla latte tasted like good quality coffee. We got the roman roast sandwhich, which is apparently the most popular food item on the menu. The beef was tender and juicy and the fries were perfectly crispy. You could definitely split this with someone, it's a huge sandwich. We also got the campo italiano focaccia flatbread. The focaccia part was really good, it was fluffy and also crispy. The chicken on top was kind of dry though. I loved the vibes of the inside, they have free wifi so it's a perfect place to do some work or study! There's a good bit of parking, too. The guy working there was really nice. Overall I definitely want to come back to try more of their menu and pastries! I was too full for gelato but I got a sample of their dubai chocolate flavor and it was so good.

ive been going to vecchia pizzeria for YEARS now (which is just as good as this place). so when i…read moreheard they opened a cafe and gelato place i knew i had to go! absolutely incredible all around! we decided to stop by for lunch, coffee, and to get a bit of work done. we went midday during the middle of the week, and there were plenty of cozy spots open and free wifi. definitely a place i would go to if i need to study! the decor is super cute and staff was super friendly! starting off w/the latte: i got the iced vanilla latte and the color was perfect! the latte was superb the roman roast sandwich is one of the most popular options and it was delicious, came with perfectly crisp fries. the flatbread was 'campo italiano' and had some chicken on it. the bread was amazing! i only had a small spoon of gelato to try out the flavors, but will definitely be coming back for gelato or maybe an affogato. overall, no notes! perfect for a date night or to come midday for a quick lunch!

Bluff park collective is a gem. The shop is Full of coffee and coffee related items for sale and…read morepastries (plus pre packaged seasonal items such as valentines treats). The space is a homey albeit a little small. It feels like a community space where you can catch up with old friends who just happen to be there at the same time. The coffee menu isn't the biggest or the most creative, but the focus is on quality old time classics here. I grabbed a drink and espresso to go. The espresso is thin bodied, sweet, and has a touch of a pleasant acidity. Perfect for a morning or late afternoon pick me up. I haven't made my way through the menu (yet) but I will be back to try more!

Pop first, thoughts after... Parking was very easy for this…read morelocation as it is shared with many other restaurants and shops at the edge. We came for the popsicles because we had a coupon for free one. The popsicles are overall really good. Handmade and homemade. You can have them dipped and/ topped. Overall I've been to this particular shop twice. The popsicles are priced about $6 a pop and that is not including the tip you will be asked to give. I really have to go home and break piggy bank to eat pops here.

This is such a cute coffee and popsicle place in The Edge. There is a huge parking lot here so…read moreunless there is a special event, parking should not be an issue. The coffee shop itself is pretty big, and there is a pretty big outdoor patio area too. I always see lots of people working here. I met up with my friend Mackenzie here for coffee one morning. I got the blueberry lavender ice matcha latte. It was a very interesting combination of flavors. I probably won't get it again, but I definitely want to try their other drinks and the popsicles of course!

Be prepared to sit in either because they do get busy especially Saturday mornings (we stood in quite the line). The food is good. If I could do a 4.5 star I would simply because there was hair in our burrito, but that's on us for not mentioning it to management. It's worth mentioning that there's a park nearby if you do visit with your kiddos and need something to do after.

Probably my favorite coffee shop in all of Birmingham, this spot in Homewood never disappoints…read more From the moment you walk in, the space feels clean, bright, and welcoming. Even when the line is out the door, the service is efficient and genuinely kind. You can tell the baristas care about what they're doing, they weigh their coffee grounds precisely, time each espresso shot, and pay attention to every detail to make sure each drink comes out smooth and rich. They also offer alternative milks, which I really appreciate. The food is just as impressive. Nothing feels overly greasy, and everything tastes fresh. The biscuits are a customer favorite, but I personally love the eggs, sausage, toast, and fruit. The honey butter is especially outstanding and adds the perfect touch. One of the coolest parts is that it used to be a gas station, and the old pump area has been transformed into a covered patio with couches, perfect for relaxing and catching up with friends. I would easily give this place 5/5 stars and highly recommend it!
