    Build your own THE SEASIDE BOWL 160Z

    The picture is from my house where I put peanut butter and Nutella on my bowl that I brought home, so I'm sorry it's messy! The reason for 3 is that I only got 7 pieces of strawberry. Putting all of them together unsliced that would be like 2 whole strawberries. The acai, granola, and pineapple was good, the people were so fast and so nice, but I would much rather make my bowls at home than spend $15 on something to get 2 strawberries, a handful of pineapple and granola, a sprinkle of coconut, acai and no extra toppings.

    The Hulk Bowl

    I'm always down for a smoothie bowl, no matter the weather! City Bowls is my favorite place to grab an acai/smoothie bowl in Birmingham. I've tried a few things off the menu, but today I ordered the Hulk (12 oz), a green-based bowl topped with granola, fruit, peanut butter, and cacao nibs. I added vanilla whey protein to the base to make it a more well-balanced meal and help me reach my daily protein goals. This bowl was delicious and fresh, keeping me full without feeling sluggish. The workers at the Hoover location are always fast with execution, even when it's super busy. The prices are very fair too considering the fresh ingredients used.

    I really like City Bowls. The only reason I had to give them three stars is because recently, my youngest son found a piece of paper in his bowl. I believe it's paper from where the fruit is wrapped up before it's unwrapped and put into the bowls. They've got to be more careful. I will say that's the only issue I've had at this location. Generally, the food and service are good. I finally was able to try The Grinch Bowl and it was delicious! I'd eat it again! Overall, I like this place. They just have to be more diligent with unwrapping the fruit to make sure paper doesn't end up in a customer's bowl.

    This place is a hidden gem. They have tons of options. I had the powerhouse it was delicious. Great snack on a hot day in the Ham. Our order came out very quickly.

    What you're seeing is deliciousness in a bowl! I always get the 12oz Island bowl with Nutella.

    Fast and friendly staff! Always super clean and pleasant atmosphere! The fruit is always fresh and delicious.

    I had no idea we had a city bowls in Hoover, so I opted to place an online order when I was running around town this weekend. The online ordering process was so easy! I picked one of the originals - "powerhouse" bowl and was really pleased with the presentation of it though it had been waiting on me to be picked up. The location is a great size for a quick afternoon or post workout snack. The staff was friendly and had my order ready to go as soon as I walked in. It was delicious! I can't wait to go back!

    Excellent choice for a healthy between game snack if you're at the Hoover Met Complex all day. Small is adequate size. Medium was a meal!!

    Having opened in 2019, Baba Java entered the area's coffee shop scene at a time when coffee for…read moremost local residents was still associated with one single chain. This was the first location of Baba Java and has since expanded through the city. Ran my Omani entrepreneurs, this little coffee shop became quite popular over the years. The staff working here are mostly teenagers or college students, who are very attentive and professional despite their young age. 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.

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!

When I arrived, there was at least seven cars in front of me, which was a good sign. The drive-through is a little narrow. You order through one window and then you pick up on the other side of the window. I ordered an iced rush-hour coffee and after lighthouse which I got. The consistency was creamier than I would've liked other iced coffees. I've had are more liquidy. It was good. It wasn't the best. I probably will be back to try the other different flavors. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. Besides the drive-through you can also walk up and get coffee. This is right in front of the Pelham library which is nice because before or after you go the library can get you a little treat.
