Grabbed caffeine for the drive back after lunching up the street at Busy Bee Cafe. I was definitely charmed by this local little shop. It's easy to miss from the outside, but totally worth a visit! The inside is dimly lit, cool, and comfortable. It's not a huge space but arrayed such that one could easily have enough room between themselves and other patrons if privacy was desired. They have lots of super cute knick knacks and an impressive selection of teas. They also have a stage for open mic nights or small musical acts. Seems like a cool space to hang out! Service was the best part. The woman who took my order welcomed me in, helped me select a beverage, and made polite conversation with me while she prepared my drink. She was just so warm, welcoming, affirming, and kind. I felt right at home. Somewhat embarrassingly, I'm far enough removed from the experience that I don't remember exactly what I got. I asked the employee what her favorite specialty drink was and ordered that. In my head, I believe it was something involving cinnamon and white chocolate, but I'm not positive. At any rate, it was a solid drink. I do remember the white chocolate element having a slightly chemical-y aftertaste, which is unfortunately common with white chocolate syrups - or so I feel. Still, it was a solid enough drink that I liked. I'd like to try other menu offerings in the future if the opportunity arises. Definitely recommend for lovely service and a positive environment! read more

Berkeley Bob's Coffee House - people sitting at tables - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cullman, Alabama

I love this place. It's got a great atmosphere coffee the best and you can find a quiet place to read a book or just hang out with friends. I haven't since covid started. But I still love. read more

As soon as I walked in the building with my service dog I was immediately barked at and told to "Get her out of here". I felt attacked and I will obviously never be giving my business to this establishment ever again. They are extremely rude. And even demanded to know what my service dog is for which I legally am allowed to not have to answer that question but he demanded. It was embarrassing and frustrating. I would never recommend this business to anyone there are better coffee shops anyways. read more

Owner/staff rude - coffee meh- shop musty. Wouldn't recommend. Maybe head to Karma or star

In the spirit of say-something-nice: "Berkeley Bob's" is clean. And their coffee is ok. I'm painfully familiar with the type of coffee shop they are trying to emulate. There wasn't a single dread-locked lesbian in a tank top to serve me my coffee, nor was there anyone passed out at a corner table. There was no bulletin board packed full of lost-dog/ cat, Food-Not-Bombs, and used car fliers. And there was no stink of coffee being roasted or brewed. In short, I would say that Berkeley Bob's falls short of what they hope to achieve. Unless, of course, what they want to achieve is just a coffee shop with some funky curios placed with some form of precision, in which case they did it well. read more

It's all about context. Keep in mind you are in Cullman, AL and you are looking for a coffee, sandwich, snack, a place with wi-fi, a place to chill. You're heading for Berkley Bob's Coffee House. The fact that it was once voted the best coffee house in Alabama is likely more a statement about Alabama rather than this coffee house. In the context of Cullman (and perhaps Alabama) it is a 5 star great place to hang. The coffee is great, the food was good, the people friendly and we liked it just fine. read more

I rarely do this, but I want to highly recommend Berkeley Bob's Coffee House in Cullman to all my friends. Recently voted the best coffee house in Alabama, and one of the top live music venues in the state, they have great atmosphere, food, coffee and tea drinks. Plus the ownership and staff are some of the nicest folks you will meet ! You get the vibe of a 1960's coffee house where you can hear an eclectic variety of great musicians play. Everything from Folk, Bluegrass, Celtic, Jazz, Blues and more. We discovered this place several years ago and absolutely love it. Hey , call us and we will go with you... read more

Aweozme local coffee joint!! Wifi worked well and was able to get all of my work done. I came on the night when there was "open mic". It was interesting to say the least! Most of the performances were decent. A few were good, but most were "open mic" quality and I loved it!! Great people and AWESOME coffee! read more

Berkeley Bob's Coffee House - Workspace set up! Dig the vibe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cullman, Alabama

Delicious coffee of the day. My buddy got a Twenty Below (Gheraldi chocolate mocha frappuccino). I also bought one if the Gheraldi Chocolate brownies; slightly crisped outside, literally melted in my mouth. That's what I call amazing texture juxtaposition! Cool space, too: back room had board games, couches, books. Great staff: funny and helpful. read more

The best of the best in the warehouse district. Berkeley Bobs is my go-to for the coffee house experience! Drinks are absolutely incredible. For coffee, The Milky Way is my favorite, but my summer favorite beverage resides here as well. The peach smoothie. Talk about to die for! I love supporting local businesses in my city, and this place makes that so easy. Stop by here for sure! You won't regret it. read more

My husband and I are currently visiting my inlaws. I asked for a good coffee shop and was directed her by my father in law who sometimes plays the open mic nights. Make sure that if you're in town you go and try the Milky Way coffee. Normally I drink black coffee but I'm waiting on my second one now. The muffin I had yesterday tasted like my grandmothers and my husbands breakfast burrito was great! Will definitely be back the next time we are in town!! read more

Very chill coffee shop. Nice place to relax and use wifi. The milky way latte (mix of chocolate, caramel, vanilla) is my favorite. The employees are extremely nice. I will go out of my way to visit this coffee shop instead of going to some of the other ones around town. read more

We really like this place and the owner. Make certain you understand it's a coffee shop. Also know that it is one of the only places, actually it's the only place in Cullman that's truly somewhat "hippy!" This may be due to the fact that the owner lived on the West Coast and in Oregon for a while at least. These are great people who seem to support the community. The people who go, especially in the evening, seem to have a family "known each other forever feel" and are friendly. Our experience here has been warm and inviting. Haven't mentioned it, but the drinks and pastry offerings are quite tasty. read more

Incredible atmosphere with very chill employees which only adds to the ambience of this very unique stop. The coffee is fabulous though a little pricey. Better than Starbucks at least and there is a very good chance that you can score and live musicians will be playing. If there isn't and you see an instrument you can play then strut your stuff! The coffee and desserts are all great including their cotton candy drink which so scratches my sweet tooth. A huge variety which isn't properly reflected on their website but hopefully soon that will change and they can show you all the options that are available to your caffeinated delight read more

This is my favorite hangout. The owner Andrea is the coolest person I have ever met, she is always exited, and can relate with every customer. Berkley Bob's would be nothing without Andrea! read more

Atmosphere and service doesn't get any better than it is at Berkely Bob's. Coffee and sandwiches are outstanding and the people are so friendly. Furthermore, live entertainment in the evenings? Great touch! I won't ever pass through Cullman without stopping here. read more

The barista was great, the coffee was good but someone should take the mic away from the musician. If the barista cannot hear you to take your order, there's no way to sit, concentrate, or get any work done! I love music but loud in a coffee shop is intrusive! read more

Great little place for coffee. I was looking for a Sbucks alternative and dropped in just before lunch. Guy playing music and singing at noon on a Thursday? Pretty cool. Good hot coffee and a bagel. Nice atmosphere too. read more

My 12 year old loves your frozen vanilla dream and I love the milky way. Great atmosphere

My friend brought me to Berkeley Bob's, it's her favorite and I can see why. It's a taste of The Bay (my home) in the the middle of the South. So refreshing to step foot in this cafe and know that you can relax and drink some good coffee. The employees really know their stuff and are very friendly. If I am ever back in Cullman, I will be looking forward to returning to Berkeley Bob's. read more

The coffee and bagels were amazing and the staff was so welcoming and friendly. Definitely go here!

Great coffee, friendly staff, and prompt service. I always order the Milky Way or the Almost Blondie. Both are delicious.
