I ordered an iced latte without sweetener. It wasn't as smooth as I was hoping. I went back a second time and I ended up ordering a latte with sugar free caramel, which was much better. For food, they have pastries and a full breakfast/lunch menu. I tried the cuffin, which was delicious. It was sweet, buttery, fluffy and warm. During my second visit, I opted for the banana muffin and it was just as delicious. The staff is also really friendly and coffee is made quick.

The saucer and mug size and AMAZINGLY HUGE! Can we just talk about how good these coffee specials are?!! Like dangerously good! This golden chai latte with tumeric was every bit of golden in my book! I have nothing but good things to say about it! I'm a coffee lover, but couldn't pass up this combo! My fiance got the lucky charms crappy because we wouldn't you get those marshmallows that are xl size if you could?! If you like sweet and to reminisce on your childhood, this is your drink! I would go broke if I was close to one of these back home!

It is a little pricey for what you get, and the menu isn't huge, but everything we tried was really good and made up for it. You can tell they put effort into the quality, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a great place to stop by if you're looking for something simple, cozy, and delicious--just be prepared for the smaller space and slightly higher prices!

The owner was very friendly, recommending fan favorites & after ordering a mixed dozen, also threw in some mini donuts with the apple fritters. Can not stress how fresh they are!

If you know downtown Tuscaloosa, you know getting into Urban Bar & Kitchen usually requires…read morepatience--and a willingness to stand around waiting for the doors to open. But spring break week flipped the script in the best way possible. Tonight, my wife and I met up with some good friends for a pre-retirement dinner, and with the college crowd scattered to the beaches, downtown felt like it belonged to us "seasoned locals" again. No lines, no crowds--just a quick call ahead and we were seated within minutes. That alone felt like a win. We started things off with the fried green tomatoes--a true Southern delicacy and, let's be honest, acid reflux's favorite dance partner. Worth it? Absolutely. These were hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The kind of dish that would make Grandma nod in approval. No shortcuts, just done right. For the entrée, I went with the UBK Pasta--blackened chicken, sausage, and shrimp tossed with corkscrew pasta probably crafted in a cast iron skillet. It came out hot and packed with flavor, carrying just the right amount of spice to keep things interesting without overwhelming the dish. Exactly how I like it. My wife stuck with a proven winner: the shrimp & grits. She's had it before, and once again, it delivered. Consistency matters, and this dish continues to hit the mark every time. Now, not everything was quite as smooth. Our waitress wasn't exactly channeling that warm Southern hospitality you hope for. Let's just say she wasn't "Miss Dolly" serving smiles with a side of charm. The service leaned a bit on the impatient side--subtle (and not-so-subtle) hints that our time at the table was up, including clearing drinks before we were even finished. At one point I joked about going to the restroom but worried I might come back to find my chair gone. Still, when the food is this good, it carries the experience. Urban Bar & Kitchen continues to deliver where it matters most--on the plate. The atmosphere was relaxed thanks to spring break timing, the food was as strong as ever, and the company made it even better. As for the service... maybe she was just ready for her own spring break reunion. Happens to the best of us. Final takeaway: Go for the food--it's consistently excellent. And if you can catch a quieter night like this one, even better.

Good cookie selection for also focusing on ice cream and their portion sizes are decent for the price. Staff were very friendly!

There's two entrances so you don't have to walk around trying to find where to go, which is super helpful! No public restroom, so plan accordingly!

There were several to choose from even a fun looking rainbow bagel. I got the bacon, egg & cheese on asiago bagel and loved it. My husband really enjoyed his ham, egg & cheese on a plain bagel. They make them to order, no prepared egg patty (yay!), so it took a couple of minutes which I'd wait double the time for if needed. There is a large fridge section of specialty beers & wines. I enjoyed checking them out while I waited. There are also several cozy seating options that looked inviting to post up for hours doing work or enjoying time with others. There are a few tables out front too. I'd definitely go back when in the area and hope to one day try their lunch specials too.
