    This is great healthier option for smoothies and teas. I wanted to try something different and came up as an option. They have an extensive menu with plenty of options. I went for a refreshing drink and got the cucumber strawberry tea which did the trick! Great service and cute atmosphere as well!

    The counter is clean and simple

    The smoothie I ordered (dreamcicle) was delicious and the woman who made it for me was friendly and delightful. She told me about the teas they serve as well - the Mega Tea watermelon sounded so good I think I'll have that next time. It's a small clean space and the restroom is really nice. I was less fond of the watermelon mega tea. But overall I like this place!

    Shake - strawberry icing
    Gabe P.

    Ah man ! I wanted to like this place a lot BUT I didn't like it (well what I ordered). We were advised to go with the combo , which was a meal replacement shake and an energy tea. I ordered the strawberry icing shake and the tropical paradise tea. We were advised to drink the shake first and then the tea last. I couldn't finish any of it bc it had a heavy aftertaste and a medicine taste . I couldn't deal . The shakes / teas are prepared with Herbalife,which I never had before. I'm not oppose to the use of Herbalife but it just wasn't my thing. I say try MCN out and make your own decision to like or dislike . The space is nice and the vibe , relaxing. They have the coolest hanging chair that I really hate I didn't swing in . Dang! Lastly , staff was extremely informative and patient during the ordering process . Located in the battery district - might wanna skip MCN and skip on over to Gus's Chicken!

    Stopped in at Magic city Nutrition to pick up an energy tea! I was greeted with smiles. The young lady answered all of my questions about the tea. She explained everything she was adding as she went along making it. The ambiance was upbeat and welcoming. The furniture is up to date and they even have a beautiful comfy swinging lounge chair near the window. I had to sit in it and take a picture. The staff wore masks the entire time which was great to see. They encourage social distancing. My tea is delicious and I will definitely be back. To my surprise it was thirsty Thursday so I received $1 off.

    I had always wanted to stop by here and have a shake. Today worked out that I got to stop by and have a brownie batter shake. I wish I could've enjoyed the inside of the shop but because of the virus I had to do curbside. The shake definitely filled me up and I loved the cute toppings. The area is super convenient to get to. It has parking in front of it. It has a fun swing inside and great area to catch up with a friend. I'll definitely be back.

    Birthday cake shake and Pom Pom tea!

    Cool concept, amazing staff, and nutrition! What more can you ask for!? I absolutely love this place and I feel that it will do really well in its location at The Battery. So far I have gone twice and both times I was not disappointed. The menu is not overwhelming ,but if you are having issues selecting an item the two ladies that I met will guide you through the ordering process. I plan to make this place one my my weekly stops especially on my lunch break!

    Magic City Nutrition is a cute, hip, and extremely aesthetically pleasing little spot in The Battery complex on 2nd. Their concept is: you come in and get two drinks, a meal replacement shake and an energy tea. Absolutely delicious options for both! With really unique and fun flavors like birthday cake and pink starburst. The owners are fabulous! They're both so friendly and sweet and make every visit worth it. They care and it really shows. As per other reviews, yes, it is Herbalife and it is expensive. But this place seems worth it to me and it doesn't have to be a daily thing, just a fun post workout or Saturday morning treat. Plus, you don't actually HAVE to get both drinks, I like to go in for just the shake.

    I had been hearing a lot of great things about MCN so I decided to check it out for myself as an after morning yoga pit stop. Jeremy was super welcoming and after I informed him it was my first time in, he graciously walked me through the menu of featured teas and smoothies. I decided to try one of each because YOLO and because Jeremy insisted the effects of the drinks worked best when combined. The menu features so many interesting & iconic flavors from Almond Cookie to Fruity Pebbles, it was hard to decide but I settled on the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake, a Lemon Berry Tea and a Liquid Donut shot (which literally tasted like a Krispy Kreme without the calories - delicious!) The shake was probably my favorite part and they offer toppings like chocolate chips and sprinkles for added fun. I went with graham crackers and it truly was one of the best shakes I've ever had. It kept me full for hours as promised too. The tea was served iced, with a plastic air seal (similar to boba) and while flavorful, it was very "fake" sweet & had that aspartame aftertaste. Not my favorite but still drinkable and gave me the energy promised. Overall, I loved it and I will definitely go back, so many flavors I want to try. Plus the ambiance is very cute and chic! Glad I got to check it out finally.

    Banana Bread and Blueberry Muffin Shakes
    Sullivan H.

    Came here on a Friday in the afternoon with a friend. The atmosphere is super modern and sleek. There is a couch in the middle of the room to chill and several tables. I think it would be a pretty cool place to come study. I was torn on whether I wanted a tea or milkshake but I decided on a milkshake. They have every flavor of milkshake that you could think of on their menu. My friend got the Banana Bread and she really enjoyed it and said it tasted like it's namesake. I had the Blueberry Muffin, it was really tasty and filling. My only complaint would be that it didn't taste as much like a Blueberry Muffin like I was hoping it would have, but more like cake batter and protein.

    Magic City Nutrition is such a fun, clean and of course aesthetically pleasing new place! It's in the same spot as Wasabi Juans, Original Bham, and the downtown True 40 studio. The girls making your teas and shakes are so nice and truly want you to enjoy the shakes or tea you are getting. These would be absolutely perfect for after a workout. I will say it's a little pricey for the tea and shake combo but you can get one without the other if you wanted! They also use Herbalife as the protein powder, and I've never had any of their protein but this shake was so good! Because of the price it won't be an everyday type visit but I will be coming back!

    This is an Herbalife front, so beware of spending $18 on a milkshake and tea. Tastes like chalk.

    I came here to catch up with a great friend from high school! The space is the old Revelator Coffee…read moreshop (RIP, what happened to them?) but certainly lives up to their predecessor! The vibe here is different from the one out in Cahaba Heights, much more industrial chic. I'm on a quest to try every single local coffee shop in Birmingham, and I am never disappointed. I ordered from their special winter menu the iced minty matcha, which was fantastic. The mint was not too overpowering, super tasty. This is such a great spot! Definitely a more social coffee shop, from what I gathered on this Saturday morning. I always dread parking down here and then never have trouble. It's right across from the Alabama Theatre, so if there's nothing going on there, street parking is a breeze.

I was specifically super excited to try their seasonal matcha special, which was made with horchata (also from Salud!) and strawberries, if I recall correctly. Unfortunately, we walked in only to find they were out of the supplies needed to make the drink. :( I was caught off guard and didn't know what to order, but the barista recommended a latte with maple flavor so I went with that. The interior was clean and spacious and had a relaxed and calm but energetic feeling to it. Good place to hang out or work quietly. There's a self-service area to spruce up or fix your drink or grab lids or stir sticks. Service was nice and my drink came out quickly. It was pretty good but not really the "right" drink for me. I like my stuff on the sweet side and this was much more balanced and coffee-forward. That said, it held its own against my sugar-craving taste buds and I drank most of it, which is usually the hallmark of good brew, lol. I don't really blame them because I blanked on what to order and just went with what was suggested. It's probably a great suggestion for lots of other folks! Would be happy to come back and try a different beverage. Seems like a nice place overall. :)

(They only offer milk based milk options) The coffee itself had a good taste I do think I would have preferred just a regular iced coffee with the flavor but I know that for next time.

Tyler was great with helping make my selection of drink and I loved how patient he was with assisting on the order. The feel of the space was very comfortable and welcoming to creatives. I love the location and how it is in walking distance to so many things. Thankfully I was able to find a parking spot across the street and didn't have to pay to park. Basic. is the store sharing the space and it is nice to be able to browse their inventory while waiting for your drinks. They have some things that I have not seen anywhere else if I had to compare it to another store I would compare it to Earth Bound. Everything seemed to be environmentally conscious which is always nice to see.

It's located right along 2nd Ave amongst all of the restaurant hubbub. Street parking, but if you're willing to take a stroll for a couple blocks, it's easy. This is one of the busier coffee shops in town, I would advise against seeking silence here. It's a shared space with "basic," a vintage clothing and art retailer which has awesome things made by local people. The people that worked there were so friendly. I came because I had to get that crème brûlée latte. It did not disappoint. One of the most delicious coffee drinks I've had in a long time. It tasted like a hug, perfectly caramel sweet, and fun to drink. It's not often that coffee gets turned into an interactive experience. The pastries looks great. The couch in the front window looked like an awesome spot to post up with some buddies. There were plenty of tables and chairs to work at. I will most certainly be back.

Meow! We ordered the Abyssinian Latte with vanilla and cinnamon, and it was absolutely the bomb -- warm, smooth, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The space itself is incredibly cozy and inviting. Colorful furniture, eclectic paintings, and musical instruments hanging on the walls give it a creative, artsy feel -- like they actually get used by a local band after hours. It has that relaxed coffeehouse charm where you could totally imagine Phoebe Buffay singing "Smelly Cat," yet it's also calm enough to have a real conversation or get a bit of work done on a laptop. Parking is street parking only, but we didn't have too much trouble finding a spot. They offer pastries and I noticed they also serve breakfast items, though we stopped in just for coffee this time. The shop was fairly full, which is always a good sign, but there were plenty of small tables that comfortably seat two to four people, so it never felt cramped. The baristas were super friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive vibe. My partner and I ended up lingering longer than planned while we talked through our day's plans -- always a sign of a great coffee spot. Warm atmosphere, delicious drinks, and kind staff make this an easy five-star experience. I'll definitely be back to try more of their cat-themed creations!
