The service was friendly and engaging! They were patient and helpful. Both of our coffees were well made and I liked the dark Italian style roast. The muffins were out of this world good. I had the lemon olive oil muffin. I can't recommend it enough. All their sweet breads looked delicious and homemade. Great stop on our road trip!!

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!

I visited Just Love Coffee Cafe and thought it was such a cute little spot. It's definitely on the…read moresmaller side with limited seating, but the cozy atmosphere makes it feel really welcoming. 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!

First time visiting and this is old school southern breakfast and lunch cafe with counter. Staff is…read morefriendly and certainly a locals favorite. Friend took me there (bama alum) and great find. Food is as expected for southern food. Menu has daily mix of the choice of "meat" and "vegetables" with a special on the board. Food was hot and served timely. Friend had hamburger fried steak w mash potatoes and greens. He left nothing on the plate I had the lemon pepper chicken - daily special and fried okra, Lima beans and coleslaw. It was delicious Ambiance hasn't changed in decades. Don't expect more than that and appreciate the nostalgia

I enjoyed the spice and fresh avocados on top. The toast itself, needed much more crunch. I couldn't tell if it was toasted at all, actually. My friend enjoyed her baked oatmeal and pastry.

My cinnamon toast latte tasted…read morewatered down, probably because they pour espresso over ice instead of lowering the temp with the milk first and then adding syrups/ice. Biggest red flag for a coffee shop. That said, Tuscaloosa doesn't have a ton of coffee options, so if you're curious, go for it, especially since they rotate seasonal drinks. For balance: the matcha lovers in our party said theirs was excellent.

Adorable selection of fresh donuts at this shop in the heart of downtown Tuscaloosa…read more Cute little shop with an authentic vibe. 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! Maple bacon was incredible & the blueberry jelly knocked my socks off. But the real winner was the apple fritters. 100% best donuts in town. Also great coffee!

The crème cheese frosting tastes like the same they use in the red velvet cake. So if you like the red velvet cake, you will definitely like the oatmeal cream pie!

Especially those warm cinnamon rolls!

Potatoes looked partially boiled (mushy and falling apart). Fruit was mushy and didn't look fresh. Prices aren't reasonable for what we received. We won't be back. Original review from 4 years ago: The breakfast is delicious! One of my favorite breakfast spots in Tuscaloosa. Haven't had the bakery desserts yet but I'm sure they will be just as great.

After 15 mins- we were told ANOTHER 10 mins... meanwhile, waiting the last 10 mins there were 4 tables sitting empty by the front where we were standing.. The blond girl at the front was very robotic, no smile, no greeting, seemed annoyed to be there. You couldn't hear her calling the party's names. Not the person you want as the first representative of your establishment. When she finally called us and brought us to the table, asked "how many in your party?" How can you not know? You JUST PAGED US! It's on the iPad in your hand! We said 5, she gave us 3 menus... seriously? The server was awesome and cheerful. The food was amazing. But again ... customer service. 2 plates came out, 5 mins later 2 more plates, 5 mins later the last plate. Why is our food not coming out all together? We ask for the check and get it promptly, but it took another 10 mins for her to come pick it up... Lots of room for improvement for the customer service end of it, and even though the food was absolutely delicious, it wasn't enough to outshine the poor initial impression with the lack of hostess skills and wait time.
