    Avocado chicken melt with seasonal salad plus pasta salad (the specials never miss!!)
    Delia S.

    This is my absolute favorite place to write and have a healthy (or indulgent if I so choose) lunch. I've been on the hunt for the best coffee shop in town and this one you can't beat. There's lots of seating (including a couch, sofa area) and there's lots of natural light coming in. The coffee is good and strong (they make the best London fog). You must try their baked goods. Seasonal, so they are constantly changing and all knockouts.

    Very good breakfast sandwiches! My go-to is the breakfast sandwich with sausage and sunny side up egg with a side of diced taters!

    Merch includes some local artisan's woodworking + cool shelving!

    Copper Train is a great addition to downtown Alabaster. Recently met some friends there for breakfast and coffee. Cozy interior, but on the small side with just a handful of tables. I only had a latte, which was very good. They source their coffee from Baba Java in Hoover. Others in our group had breakfast and a pastry, which looked delicious. Service was fast and friendly. I like how they showcase some local artisans' products. Will definitely be back.

    The Big Timmy Sandwich and Watermelon, Feta and Jimaca Salad!

    The food was absolutely amazing! The staff were super friendly. Great pricing. Nice atmosphere! We will be back!

    Gravy biscuit with eggs and bacon
    bill m.

    This is a new place that has only been open a short few days. The atmosphere is very nice and clean. The staff are friendly and inviting. I had the gravy biscuit with eggs. The gravy is excellent the eggs could stand to be fluffier the star is the bacon was perfect. Worth the trip.

I am greeted by Mr.Eddie (the owner) himself every time I go and have had nothing but friendly conversations/interactions with most if not all of the staff. Mr.Eddie runs a tight ship! The food is fresh and hot every time, and on the one occasion where it wasn't, Mr.Eddie personally brought me a fresh piece of fried chicken! 10/10 each visit and would give it more stars if i could. It is a bit on the pricy side but i would much rather support a local business and friendly face, than corporate restaurant/fast food that comes from who knows where and doesn't care about your food or experience. Hope this cafe can stay open for as long as possible! Much love to the Bevelle family

They said everything is made fresh daily and the food tastes that way! We got turkey and dressing with fried okra and green beans. We were a fan of the dressing and the fried okra. The fried okra wasn't heavily breaded, made them that much better. Everything else we got was pretty tasty too. It's price is about 35% higher than the meat and two place we typically go to that's closer to pur home, but I would come back here next time we are in the area again.

It had white chocolate and caramel. I drool. It was silly, smooth, sweet, and indulgent. Day 2 the Turtle iced, but with white chocolate instead of dark.

When you get to the light at the corner of 31 and Pelham Park Blvd, just look to the right and you'll see a quaint little white building. Behind it is the Pelham Public Library which looms over Bullet and to the other side of Bullet is Edgars Bakery. As mentioned BC has been there about a year now. 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!

We were greeted promptly and took a few minutes to look at the menu. I LOVE roast beef, so it peaked my interest. My wife chose the Smiley burger. We placed our order and grabbed a seat. Place was quiet even though it was probably 75% full for lunch. Roast beef was served hot in toasted sour dough. Cheddar, tomato, lettuce and horseradish topped the generous portion of roast beef. Bread was crisp and the beef was hot and juicy. Horseradish gave a nice tangy flavor. My wife's Smiley burger was hand patted. Juicy and perfectly cooked. Bun was soft inside and nicely toasted in the outside. Bread and butter pickles, onion, tomato and lettuce topped it off. But the star of the show were the fries cooked in beef tallow!! Hot and salty, crispy and a deep flavor. I would come back just for the fries. Although a little bit pricey for lunch, it was excellent! Staff were friendly and attentive! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks for an awesome lunch and excellent experience!
