    Such a cozy coffee shop. My caramel latte was pretty good and the staff was really friendly. Definitely a nice spot to catch up on work or get some studying done.

    Don't tell the other locations...but this one's my favorite! I adore the SOHO area and have frequented it even more these last six months since I box at the studio down the street from O'Henry's. It's a cute spot that I love to study in or just relax at since it's also so close to UAB. The staff are without a doubt my favorite part-not sure the names but there's two in particular that are absolute beams of sunshine. Always joking around and smiling behind the counter no matter the time of day. On my most recent visit, I decided to be *that* patron and ask for what the staff recommended, and was greeted with such happiness! She asked if she could make me something special after figuring out some of my basic preferences and even said she'd make me something else free of charge if I didn't love it- spoiler: loved it! She was also extremely tentative to the fact I can't eat pork just from noticing my hijab. I saw that the egg bites were freshly made and ordered one, and very sweetly & apologetically she responded saying she figured I wouldn't be able to have them due to them containing sausage. Love love LOVE being seen like this!!! Need the other locations to take notes!

    Coffee grounds in my cup.

    Ordered a 2% cafe au lait. Literally the worst cup of coffee I have ever had from a coffee shop. Unfortunately, I didn't take a sip at the counter because I had no reason to expect it wouldn't be at least good as it usually is at O'Henry's. I could taste a hint of cinnamon and there were more than a few grounds at the bottom of the cup. I threw it away when I got home, I didn't even bother to drink the rest of it. Waste of money. Is there anywhere in Birmingham left to get good coffee on the go??

    The first thing you notice when you step into O'Henry's is the SMELL. It's rich in that beautiful coffee aroma that made me want a cappuccino in my hand that very moment. Okay, that a little intense, but it's true!! They have TONS of options to purchase coffee by the pound - decaf, light, medium, dark, Sumatra, flavors like blueberry and cinnamon streusel, coffee from all over Africa and South America, and more. It was extensive! And while we didn't try any food, they had an extensive menu of snacks, pastries, etc to choose from. And they looked delicious. And yes, the cappuccino I did end up enjoying at the end was wonderful. I'd definitely go again!

    Popular local coffee shop. I don't drink coffee but a like a good tea. The Piper Mint Tea (sweetened with honey) was just the pick me up that I needed. Some of the staff was friendly. The cashier left some happiness to be desired.

    It was my favorite study spot in college, it was my parent's favorite coffee shop in town, and it's a frequent stop if I travel through Birmingham for work. You can't beat the coffee or ambiance. Their drinks can be decadent and almost dessert-like, but even their classic black coffee is special. Every time I've walked through the door, it's like walking into a Dickens novel. The aesthetics are wonderful and the aroma of the coffee has storybook magic. I'm waiting and hoping the day they come to Nashville is sooner rather than later!

    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.

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
