    Dirty mirrors
    Renee H.

    This is a cozy little coffee shop in a very beautiful Birmingham neighborhood. It's nestled away from the hustle of the city activity so it's a very relaxed atmosphere. When you step into the shop you feel as if you've been transported back in time. The decor is old English and has a historic feel to it. There are many flavors and variations of coffee available to choose from. The baristas were so knowledgeable about the products and were eager to make suggestions when needed. There are several seats inside as well as tables outside to sit and study alone or enjoy a coffee with friends. There is a Mexican restaurant right next door that has super fast service and good food, along with spirits. Disclosure: one of the baristas at O'Henry's is my son. I realize I am biased in saying that he is very personable, has great energy and makes the best iced lattes! Aaliyah was working alongside Garrett the day I came in and upon asking about the blueberry iced latte, she shared that she had made herself and white chocolate iced blueberry latte and really enjoyed it. So I ordered that very drink and it was DELICIOUS! I always want to give honest reviews with integrity. With that being said, I forewarned my son that I would have to take one star off the review for the lack of more cleanliness in the shop. The mirrors behind the coffee syrups were dirty and the wooden mantel needed to be dusted. Aside from that, I absolutely loved everything about my first visit at O'Henry's and definitely recommend it!

    This is a great location with a beautiful park across the street. They have a few tables outside and a few inside where you can sit and enjoy your coffee or pastry. Street parking is available, but depending on the day, it can be difficult to find a parking place. I was meeting my son for final wedding details at the Donnelly House which is in walking distance, and I arrived 30 minutes early. I was looking for a place to wait, and was initially considering not going to O'Henry's because I'm not a fan of coffee. I decided to visit anyway, and the baristas behind the counter were very helpful helping me navigate the menu for a non-coffee option. Per their suggestion, I decided on the frozen mocha creme, and even decided to add whipped cream, and what a lot of whipped cream it was!! I always say, "If you aren't going to go big then go home." This made it extra delicious, and I recommend that all non-coffee drinkers try it. Great place and great service!!

    Best way to start the day!

    Get there early and the muffins are still warm. My favorites is Chocolate Cappuccino or Lemon Poppy Seed. Lots of people order the oatmeal, but I can't get past the muffins. Any drink will satisfy. Their coffee is excellent, and they always have medium and dark roast options. For decaf, you wait for the pour over brewing method, which feels like it takes 10 minutes, which probably means it takes 3-5. Their tea comes from another local company, Piper. Ask the barista what they are drinking lately. It's how I found the strawberry and green tea mixture. Yes, you can ask for a combination. Cold brew, seasonal drinks, Chai. You name it, they serve it. (probably true but I don't know what you're after so don't hold me to it!) There's one big clean bathroom in the back. Only 2 tables inside right now. Staff where masks, some customers don't. Outside seating is ample, plus Rushton Park is across the street! Parking is limited, but spots open frequently unless it's lunchtime or brunchtime Tuesday through Sunday when Rojo is hoppin' next door. For the record, Rojo loves it when you support O'Henrys, Laney herself commented on my Rojo review, it's why Rojo doesn't bother making good coffee. They want you to order your coffee next door. Here's to local businesses supporting one another :)

    Honey cinnamon latte and blueberry muffin

    I love this location - The coffee and food are delicious and sitting outside is always peaceful - I recommend the honey cinnamon latte!

    O'Henry's Coffee is a cozy place to stop for your morning caffeine and to linger for a while. The baristas are friendly and kind, and the coffee is hot and tasty. Ample parking is available out front. Pull up a chair and stay a while.

    Dark Tanzania Peaberry roast with a slice of strawberry cake.

    I am so ecstatic that the Highland area finally has a coffee shop. I felt like that was the only thing missing in such a quaint, dog-friendly community. The baristas are friendly, and the shop is cozy with coffee, tea, and souvenir items for sale. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the dark roast of the day, Tanzania Peaberry, and my boyfriend got the regular roast of the day (I don't recall the name) and a slice of strawberry cake. I'm a die-had fan of the Edgar's Bakery strawberry cake, but this one is sitting up top on that list with Edgar's now! Give it a try. The dark roast was perfection in my book- I love my coffee strong and black. I'm thinking about trying a few more roasts before committing to buying myself my own bag of Tanzania though. I love that, since having a friend who lives right around the corner, taking a stroll to grab a cup of coffee there is an enjoyable start to a day. Even if you have to drive, bring your pup, park, and grab a cup and enjoy a nice stroll around the neighborhood. Needless to say, I will be back!

    Turmeric tea was wonderful. Special summer drink that was perfect for a warm Saturday morning. Sat outside with a friend of mine and enjoyed the scenic view of the park across the street. Very cute neighborhood. Friendly staff, quick service.

    This is by far my favorite place to drink coffee and enjoy the sights and sounds of highlands in Birmingham. It's a really beautiful area and with Rojo next door, it's an easy stop and rest point. O'Henry's has the best coffee in town and it's easy to see why they just celebrated 25 years in business!

I would suggest trying to get ahead of the 11 oclock rush or after the 1pm rush The pizza is amazing the owner cares a great deal and the menu is inspired

    This place is my type of vibe!…read more Trattoria ZaZa has been on my list of places to stop at for several years. Parking often deters me but after attending the Italian Festival earlier that day, we had a craving for pizza. I ordered the combo that includes 2 slices of the day with salad. Since I wasn't overly hungry, I offered him one of my slices and he added another slice to the order. We paid and were given a number to place on our selected table. Jazzy music played in the background while we waited on our order to be brought to the table. The natural lighting, while beautiful, made it a little warm in the building. One of the waitresses propped the door open that leads to the restrooms (which are in the hallway near the elevators) in order for cooler air to make its way in. That wasn't a deal breaker, but do be aware of that on warmer days. Our food came out after a short wait. I kept my 3 cheese slice, and gave him the pepperoni one. The cheeses were very rich and the salad, while simple without the frills, was perfectly sized and drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette that was just the right amount. While I enjoyed my meal very much and the ambiance, he wasn't overly impressed with his. He didn't want the fresh herbs on his slices and knocked all of them off, lol. He's a simple guy with simple taste. This is definitely a place I will be revisiting with one of my girlfriends and not him next time as he didn't appreciate what ZaZA had to offer. Everyone we encountered was helpful and courteous. Our food, including drinks, was around $28, which was not bad for a cute, eclectic spot downtown. If you haven't been, make sure to try them out soon. Just don't wait as long as I did to visit!

    Harvest was one of the best dining experiences I had in Birmingham. One thing worth mentioning…read moreright away is that it's located inside the historic Redmont Hotel. That wasn't immediately obvious from many of the reviews I read beforehand, so don't let the hotel location deter you--this is a destination restaurant in its own right. I ordered the braised short rib (without the grits), and it was outstanding. The meat was incredibly tender, packed with flavor, and cooked to perfection. It easily ranks among the better short rib dishes I've had. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and struck the perfect balance of being available without hovering. The dining room has an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere that makes it just as suitable for a business dinner as it is for a date night or special occasion. If you're visiting downtown Birmingham--or staying at the Redmont--don't overlook Harvest just because it's inside a hotel. It's proof that hotel restaurants can absolutely compete with the city's standalone dining scene. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Birmingham.

    This place was honestly a surprise. My husband and I were in the area looking to get dinner but the…read moreoriginal restaurant we wanted to go to was booked. We ended up here. I will say this is one of the best steaks I have had up to date so far. Cooked just the way I liked it.

Got free champagne because our food took a little longer to come out even though it didn't feel that long to us. This place is on the fancier side - a place I might take out of town guests. I would highly suggest getting a reservation. Will definitely be back!

But I'm sorry the food? (In my case shrimp and grits) was NOT GOOD. And don't get me wrong, it wasn't a horrible flavor, but the flavors it did have were terrible. First the grits are not smooth at all. Like they aren't super course but they definitely could have been cooked down more. And they had little seasoning. And that's being generous. Then the "creole" sauce on top? Can we ask the audience what they consider creole? Because that was just pure tomato sauce. Like straight out a can, had to be. No way someone cooked that sauce from scratch or even with creole seasonings or typical additives I'm sorry I just refuse to believe it. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST... 5 shrimp??? You can't be serious. I could understand 5 shrimp if they're the huge jumbo ones but these are smedium at best. Like I feel BAMBOOZLED because no way I paid 24$ for 5 shrimp and maybe 1.5 cups of grits. But imma be honest I'm not surprised the food wasn't that good. Any place that puts on the bottom "we can't refund for food you don't like" that should tell you everything you need to know. But I digress My friends said the tequila sunrise was good so that's another star. Service and tequila sunrise. The only highlights. The venue is pretty but I don't recommend

Hubby wasn't a fan of the asiago/bacon waffles, which come with the Chix and Waffles; I tried them and it is an acquired after taste. Neither of us were big fans of the smashed potatoes, although the sauce was refreshing. We wondered why they are "smashed," but round? Overall, food was satisfactory! Service was quick and helpful, and it wasn't as busy after 9. It is more of a community based set up. We appreciated the inclusive environment and staff, but we did have to move after being next to the dirty dish station and having multiple angry outbursts from the young lady working/cleaning and overly loud placement of dishes.

I walk in and to your right you go up to order your breakfast items. Good selection for quick breakfast dining . Nothing too overwhelming to decide on. I choose the breakfast hash with a side of grits with coffee to drink. They call you up once your food is ready. I ordered the hash and a side of grits.. They were OK.. I do prefer my grits a little thicker a little cheesier . They have more of a contemporary style of grits which it was OK, but I'm just kinda finicky when it comes to some old-fashioned grits. I tried the maple coffee which was pretty good. Had more than my fair share. There is also, seating inside and outside. Come and check this place out.
