This coffee is so much better than Starbucks. Never thought I would say that. Service is fast, friendly, and helpful.

Great place !! The Turtle Latte was fantastic and with friendly customer service. Perfect place to grab a coffee in the morning on the way to work! read more

Great location for a local, drive-through coffee place. Finally tried it out today while running errands on 280. I ordered a The Vulcan. I saw it has cinnamon & brown sugar & I love anything cinnamon. Very tasty with a nice froth on top. It was quite sweet, so keep that in mind. I may ask them to put half the syrup next time. They also have a few breakfast & lunch foods that may be worth a try next time. read more

Bullet Coffee - Caffeine while sitting in 280 traffic - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

My favorite coffee stop on 280; I always go for an iced Vulcan! Always fast, tasty, and convenient! I highly recommend to anyone wanting a delicious and quick coffee while in the area. read more

Best ice coffee in town. It's a drive-thru coffee stand and their So Good is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! You can't go wrong with any flavor but the So Good is definitely my favorite! The line can get very long but the staff does an amazing job to move it along. read more

I throw my money at this cute coffee joint- LOL. I go out of my way to run by Bullet, because I REALLY believe in this business. Love their dedication, kindness, and authenticity; it's incredibly refreshing. I have completely ditched Starbucks and turned to Bullet to "vote with my dollar" here and support this small business. The city needs more Bullets! DEFINITELY give this place a shot. read more

Bullet Coffee - I recommend an iced latte with just a smidge of mocha! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

LI went there 2 times, very excited to try a new coffee place. And I was so sadly disappointed. First time. I got a coffee that was recommended by one of the guys there. And I asked if it was way too sweet and he said no, but it was VERY sweet. And it tasted like a milkshake. And it was VERY EXPENSIVE. thought I might have just gotten a bad cup or the drink I ordered was the wrong taste for me. Second time, I went just for a straight up coffee. A small regular coffee. For over 5 dollars. Tasted burned. I love coffee. I know coffee. This wasn't right. I wasn't a fan at all. They get two stars because the staff were all friendly. read more

The coffee is so good and the service is so efficient. I will continually go back! I get the chai with a shot!

Perfect caffeine stop right off of 280. Love this coffee shop concept; quick to order and easy to pick something good from the menu. I love the turtle latte blended w/ that AMAZING whipped cream (I believe it's home made, that stuff is so good) little pricey but definitely worth the money as compared to *insert famous coffee franchise here* read more

Still the best coffee in Hwy 280!! Great roast - the Americana with a splash of cream + SF white mocha was delicious .

First off the lay out of the drive thru is kinda confusing but i survived (first world problems indeed). This is a great addition to 280! Finally a local coffee spot! Picked up a turtle and a rush hour, both were great! The staff is very friendly and the service was fast! read more

We stumbled upon this place during our visit and it did not disappoint. They were friendly, had lots of great options and everything tasted amazing! read more

Delicious coffee and wonderful customer service. I'm a Starbucks girl, but Bullet has won me over.

My first thought of this place was that it is a beautiful, simplistic design, & a well lit facility inside & out. The drive through is easy to get through, but a could be confusing because of the light pole right in front of you as you exit the drive thru. What I mean by that is that I didn't know whether they intended me to go to the left or to the right of the light pole. When I first saw the menu I thought the font was hard to read at first & made the menu look crowded, but I got used to it. This place is a drive thru only coffee place that offers hot or iced coffee, as well as tea, & food. For what they serve there it is very well priced & high quality. The excellent customer service I got there reminded me of the service you would expect to get at a Chikfila. With certainty I think this place will draw away a lot of the Hwy 280 Starbuck's faithful customers. I just think they will need to continue to get their voice out there so more people will know that they are open & ready to serve their customers! read more

Decided to try one of the newer coffee spots on 280 today. Their specialty drinks are great, but a little on the sweet side. I noticed on here you can get it with half the syrup which I recommend if you want something super sweet. They do have regular coffee as well for those who would like a traditional cup of coffee instead! The setup is a bit odd, but I went when no one was in line. You would think that you would order at the menu but you pull up to the window and are greeted by super nice people. You then drive around to the second window to get the beverage or food. The logistics would be a little tricky if they were busier when I went, but for a quick stop in the middle of the morning it was great! I just wished it wasn't so far down 280 to get to. I'll definitely stop by again if I'm in that area! read more

Friends~ driving through B'ham this place is one of the earliest choices of coffee in Abalama~ 5:30 A. M. and what they lack in customer service (because of busyness) they make up in straw size-In my first drive thru coffee shop experience I Rated a 5 star because of the good laughs we belted due to the ordering at one window and paying 'the same person' at the next- then at another Shocked barista, when he saw me jump out of the car (passenger side) and take a brisk walk around the grounds to stretch my legs...He exclaimed "What's he doing?" Out of concern for my health, I'm sure I had the Vulcan which is like a buttered cinnamon roll and a hint of burnt day old finish-my love had the cold brew which came full of ice which broke her 6ft straw they tried to equip us with read more

The competitors should have several seats! I get so excited when I'm traveling through or near Hoover because I'm giving Bullet Coffee some of my time and money. Sunday 8 am service at Church of the Highlands and a Turtle Latte is my favorite combo. Thanks for the great coffee and great customer service. read more

Best Coffee on 280. The Vulcan whether hot or cold is my favorite. If you haven't tried them yet I suggest you do and promise you won't be disappointed. read more

AHHHH....MAZING!! Happened to pass by this new coffee shop after lunch and decided to try it out. Customer service was great!! They had a long line, but the process was efficient and the line moved quickly. The employees all had a great attitude even though they were swamped. Now...the coffee...WOW. I got a Turtle Frappe because I like for my coffee to be doctored up...but I still want it to taste like coffee. A lot of times the doctored up drinks end up tasting nothing like coffee...but Bullet Coffee knows how to do it right!! It was simply perfection!!!! Highly recommend. read more

This is the best coffee shop in the world!!! I compare everything to BULLET! I highly recommend!!! Get an iced rush hour with oatmilk!

Awesome coffee choices and great service. I love this local establishment and they have a generous rewards program as well. My go to drink is better than the competition. read more

The coffee here is simply perfection. I drink the medium roast black and it warms my soul and has no bitter or sour aftertaste as you would get with other coffee. The price is the same as Starbucks. I feel like since Bullet does not have a space for people to hang out (drive through only) the price should be lower, but the coffee tastes so much better that I'll just suck it up. read more

Bullet is my favorite to go coffee on this side of town! I love the team there and the fact that they recognize me when I pull up to the window! The coffee is always yummy and hits the spot! I love bullet! read more

Staff is always great whenever my parents and I go on our late night coffee runs! Coffee is better than Starbucks and the lines are always quick to get through read more

Bullet coffee is by far my favorite place to get coffee. I have yet to try something I did not like. My favorite is the "So Good" but the "Vulcan" comes in a close second. The staff are always pleasant and friendly. The way they operate is very efficient and typically quick with minimal wait time. You order first and then drive around to pay and pick up your order. Bullet gives my day a happy start whenever I stop by. read more

My favorite latte in a drive-thru, quick and friendly service and they offer a punch card for free drinks. Should have more locations!

Love to support local businesses! Personally not a coffee drinker but love their chai!

Coffee was great, service was great. Only reason I'm not leaving 5 stars is I wish they would have a list of their different coffee brews so I could choose the toast of my coffee. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be back. read more

I really enjoy this place. The staff is always so nice. It is fast drive through. I got the Vulcan and It was very yummy. I will definitely be going back. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops. I just would enjoy it better if it had a sit-in/ sit-down area to enjoy food offerings. It is highly recommended for it's fast drive-thru service! read more

My husband and I visit almost every weekend. The coffee is consistently delicous, and they have a punch card so every 10th specialty drink is free. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. read more

Cool little drive thru coffee shop that opened up off 280 next to the DQ. The outside is very sleek. The service has always been very fast every time I have been. You look at the menu, order at the first window, and pay at the second window when you get the beverage. I decided to order the Turtle Specialty drink my first visit and it was extremely tasty. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like sweets however. If I want a good, quick pick me up I now know where I can go. read more

Our favorite local coffee shop! Love their fast drive thru, friendly faces take your order and coffee taste amazing! My favorite is the Iced Coffee with almond milk and brown sugar cinnamon sweetener! Don't forget to grab their punch card after a couple of coffees you get 1 free! read more
