What a charming bakery/coffee shop in a super cute almost European nook in town. If you're…read morevisiting, I definitely recommend taking a drive to this area. Progressive area - Seems to be... There wasn't line when we got there but the crowd usually follows us for some reason so by the time we left there was standing room only and a line out the door. The bakery items were very fresh and tasty. I loved the Swedish gingerbread cookies - light and crisp. The lemon bar was delicious. They also have sandwiches that liked really good. Coffee - I got a vanilla latte extra sweet (no lavender) and my daughter said it was one of the best. I thought it was pretty good. I would go again when back in Birmingham!

I was excited to learn about a traditional bakery like the ones I grew up around in Jersey. I was…read morealso surprised to see pecan pie, which looked good at first sight. The flavor was definitely there, which I appreciated, but the crust was a little tough. I also grabbed a couple of brownies. They were good, but I was disappointed by the presentation, tightly wrapped and squeezed into plastic wrap. I came to Alabama expecting Southern bakery quality, Southern prices, and Southern hospitality. Instead, the brownies gave me a middle of the road presentation at Jersey prices. Would I go back? Now that's the question. I would give the pecan pie another chance, but hopefully with a crust that is a little more cooperative.

Finally made it to Baba Java Coffee, and I wish I hadn't waited so long! I had the cappuccino and…read moremy friend got the latte, both delicious. The cappuccino was stronger than what I usually go for, but smooth, not bitter at all. The ambiance is really nice, mostly tables and chairs with one cozy area that has softer seating. A few people were working on laptops, so it seems like a good spot to post up for a bit. Parking was easy too. Will definitely be back!

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.

What a wonderful coffee shop! Excellent coffee, a welcoming atmosphere, and a place where you can…read moretruly feel the passion for quality. A special thank you to Lee Wideman, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at an event in Birmingham. He didn't recommend Baba Java because he works there--he recommended it because he genuinely believes in it. After visiting the very next day, I completely understood why. Great coffee is always worth it, and this place is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Birmingham. Thank you, Lee, for the recommendation!

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.

O'Henry's is a great place to work from. The dinning room is huge and it has a mix of tables and…read morebooths. There's a large food and beverage menu. I ordered a latter with nonfat milk. It was good, but not memorable. While the dining room is large, it's freezing. I had sweater on and I was shaking. My friend told me it's like that all the time. We ended up moving to a booth in the back, which was more comfortable and a little warmer. It does get loud as the day goes on, so I recommend bringing headphones.

I visited O'Henry's for the first time and will definitely be back! It's very close to my house,…read moreand I specifically wanted a spot where I could sit outside, enjoy the nice weather, and get some work done. The outdoor seating was perfect for that. I ordered one of their Valentine's favorites, the Everybody Loves Raymond with oat milk, and my friend got the Wedding Cake. My drink was so good -- definitely a new favorite! The inside was also very nice with a great atmosphere if you need a place to study or work. It had a comfortable, productive vibe without being too loud. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!

Today i sat in my car ready for someone to take my order, sat there for 5 mins, no one came on, even when i tried to saying hello??? another 5-6 mins to get to the window again bc service is so slow and per usual it's some kid sitting on the window (which i think is gross) who had no clue she never took my order. I gave my order there and waited. Got my food but drove off without my coffee. Had to park and go in. The place completely empty except for the 2 girls working there. Again one girl sitting on the window - love it when they have shorts on and are big girls...great professional look for the company. Coffee was already cold. i can't do it anymore. The high prices, unsanitary conditions and wait time are too much. I don't need to be this stressed out on my way to work. It's too bad bc i live close by and met hoping it would get better but it hasn't. I will not be back. Based on lack of management i don't even expect a return email back.

I have no negative thoughts about Lee's Coffee!! Their drinks are so delicious and super…read morecustomizable! My usual is an Iced Matcha Latte with Vanilla syrup, and it is soooo good!! Their staff is super friendly and are so easy to talk to! They are quick with your drinks and somehow find you in the cafe to bring you your drink. The place offers tons of fun such as board games, Saturday night karaoke nights, or even Trivia nights that are loads of fun!! I have been to 3-4 karaoke nights and every time I go, everyone is having tons of fun while singing and hanging out with friends! When you go to Lee's, you are bound to make a friend and have fun! My friends and I personally like to go into this little room on the side and play card games!! Not only is this place loads of fun, but it can also be a great place to study! I have been to Lee's a handful of times during the day, and it is the perfect study area. The lights are dimmed, and there's definitely plenty of seating upstairs, downstairs, and even some outdoors. You will definitely see me there soon again! Be aware that there is not a parking lot or anything, so be prepared to street park!

The atmosphere was super laid-back! Drinks were on point! Love the secret menus that is changed throughout the year. The cozy setup made it easy to connect, chat, or just sit back and get lost in the music. Definitely one of those low-key but memorable spots. I'll definitely be back for more events and/or to just try out the coffee and other drinks.

The latte was good, and I'll definitely be back to try that specialty cappuccino. I also ventured out front to Huey Sandwich Shop, a food truck set up on a bed of turf with plenty of seating and a covered awning. Such a cute space! I, however, was anything but cute while eating my sandwich I don't want to speak too soon since this place is still new, but the hot Italian sandwich might be the best sandwich I've had in the Birmingham area so far. The bread, sautéed onions and peppers, and whatever sauce they put on it took it completely over the top. I also love that they're open for Saturday lunch! It's surprisingly hard to find good lunch spots around here on weekends. Can't wait to watch this business grow and flourish!

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.

Driving around to the girl working the delivery station, she really had an unfriendly attitude. We asked for bigger straws and she looked pretty annoyed by that. When we gave our order the drinks looked exactly the same even though they were supposed to be different so we asked which one it was and she seemed confused. The drinks were still good but they are the same thing, which means our order was inaccurate. I would still recommend this 7 brew but definitely check your drink order.
