Cala Coffee was such a great first visit! I stopped by to try their matcha and wasn't sure what to…read moreorder, but the barista recommended her personal favorite: an iced half strawberry/half vanilla matcha with oat milk (my usual substitute) and extra sweet. It ended up being perfect--sweet but not overly sweet, and really flavorful. I also signed up for their rewards program and got $5 off my first order, which was a nice bonus. I originally wanted to sit outside since the weather was so nice, but ended up sitting inside. Next time I'll try to get there earlier to grab an outdoor spot. Parking is pretty tight--the front lot is small--but I was lucky to find a spot, and I noticed some people parked on the surrounding streets. Overall, it was a really good experience and I'm excited to go back!

My daughter and I were in the area and wanted coffee so we tried the new location…read more Good vibes, good coffee, but unfortunately they were out of pastries. Nevertheless, we sat at one of the high tables and enjoyed our coffees. I noticed that they had one of the machines that dispense little art prints (Inciardi ?) but signs said they were out of stock. Too bad because they're very popular in New England and I had a great time searching for these machines and seeing what prints I'd get. I've started a collection. I'll come again for coffee, and hopefully will get pastries, and art prints.

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 often enjoy getting a pastry and a coffee here. I had a not so good experience last time but…read morewanted to try again. I was never greeted. More customers came in. The young girl making the coffee was loudly talking about someone who messed up their coffee order this morning and how frustrated she was. The only other employee was occupied with what seemed a large order of bread etc. When she finished what she was doing she looked at the now five customers, claustrophobically waiting, and said I'll be right back and disappeared. Leaving the one guy serving the one customer. It was 11:30 am on a rainy day. Figured I could do without a cream cheese croissant and coffee and left. Had already waited 5 as the only other person in there and did not want to wait another undetermined amount of time. I know one of the bakers. It's a shame the front has been so bad these last two times.

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.

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.

I really have to go home and break piggy bank to eat pops here.

I probably won't get it again, but I definitely want to try their other drinks and the popsicles of course!

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!

In the words of Gordon Ramsey, "finesse". This coffee shop…read moreis a lot different than others in a near proximity, simply because of the finesse.

It's worth mentioning that there's a park nearby if you do visit with your kiddos and need something to do after.

Probably my favorite coffee shop in all of Birmingham, this spot in Homewood never disappoints…read more From the moment you walk in, the space feels clean, bright, and welcoming. Even when the line is out the door, the service is efficient and genuinely kind. You can tell the baristas care about what they're doing, they weigh their coffee grounds precisely, time each espresso shot, and pay attention to every detail to make sure each drink comes out smooth and rich. They also offer alternative milks, which I really appreciate. The food is just as impressive. Nothing feels overly greasy, and everything tastes fresh. The biscuits are a customer favorite, but I personally love the eggs, sausage, toast, and fruit. The honey butter is especially outstanding and adds the perfect touch. One of the coolest parts is that it used to be a gas station, and the old pump area has been transformed into a covered patio with couches, perfect for relaxing and catching up with friends. I would easily give this place 5/5 stars and highly recommend it!
