What an amazing coffee shop! Me and my family came here to get coffee and it was great! My coffee drink was so good. I ordered the snickerdoodle mocha. Also, I got some cinnamon coffee cake. It was super delicious. The inside was super cool and cozy. It was very clean too. It had a great ambiance to it! The service here was great. The girl taking our order was very kind and funny. Overall, great coffee shop and I highly recommend it. read more

Wow, after visiting their other locations in town, this place is a total letdown! No kitchen? But you somehow have pastries wtf? Old ratty bathroom stolen from a dive bar. Staff is super friendly. That's nice. But they have no espresso/coffee skills. Baffled. Again, wow very surprised Please redo this one or at least let the crumbling building fall in. Go elsewhere fam. read more

I had the barista explain to me how they make halfcaf lattes - she told me they pull both a shot of caffeinated espresso and a shot of decaf and then put one shot of caffeinated in and one shot of decaf in...but then I watched her make it and she only put the one shot of caffeinated espresso in and didn't pull a decaf shot. Then was condescending when I wanted it remade. Guys - a halfcaf latte is when you pull a shot of caffeinated espresso and put ONE shot in and then pull a shot of DECAF espresso and put ONE shot in. No one wants a cup of milk with just one shot of espresso in it. You're also charging me for a full latte and then only giving me one shot when they come with two. I know it's extra work to pull that decaf shot - and I know when you pull a shot it's for 2 shots so it seem like waste, but that's a halfcaf latte. Don't explain to me what a halfcaf is, then not make it that way and be condescending when I want it remade. I ended up getting a refund and walking out. That's the last time I'll be coming to Ohenrys. read more

Unfortunately, very disappointed in the drinks here. We ordered a matcha and a cold brew and they were both basically just milk with no coffee or matcha. The matcha was pure white with basically no hint of green or flavor of matcha. The cold brew was also very light and mainly half and half. Very weird. Maybe a new barista made these or got the proportions totally wrong but they should work on their drinks, it's a cute place with potential. read more

Friendly, fast service, great hot chocolate and the cranberry/orange muffins are tasty!

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! read more

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?? read more

Today I felt like a wonderful muffin so, I went to o' Henry's to get a coffee and muffin. The piece was absolutely horrible if you thought of a muffin you would say $2.00 to $3.00 dollars but not at o'Henry's expect to empty your bank account with there $6.00 muffins. Will not be buying again. The worker said it was inflation but I think it's robbery. DO NOT GO read more

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! read more

Irresistible and dense scent of coffee fills the air as doors open to O'Henry's. An interesting story of Dr Henry Bright, a former orthodontist, who learned all aspects of coffee production and opened this landmark location in 1993. Since then, the world has gained Starbucks and nearly every street corner now has a coffee shop. O'Henry's however, is surprisingly as relevant as ever despite the massive evolution of coffee industry that happened since them. The coffee is simply put, spectacular. Honestly, it is a bit hard to pinpoint on what makes it so good. Maybe it's the local roasting facility or the sourcing of the beans. The result however, is unparalleled. The taste is very rich and decadent. Thus, the only regret is discovering O'Henry a bit late, but this coffee shop is an absolutely must for pleasure. read more

One of my go to coffee places. The Conecuh biscuit is one of my guilty (read carbs) pleasures. Staff is always friendly. People watching is among the best in town. COVID - ok, not great to be honest. Sustainability - not good. Lots of plastic. read more

Great atmosphere and good coffee. A favorite place to spend time with my husband on our coffee date.

The coffee is really bad but Gage Tutor, the new shift lead/manager in training, treated us as if we were part of the O'Henry's family! He picked me up out of my wheelchair and carried me to the counter and then to my seat because my chair would not make it past the threshold of the store. He handled me with care and grace all with a smile on his face! He did not curse aloud while guests were present, which is unlike managers of O'Henry's past! Very nasty managers they've had there. Hopefully Mr. Gage sticks around for a while! Valuable asset! read more

My first time here to catch up with a friend ( for dry January). The vibe: great! You could tell this was the local hangout spot. People knew everybody! Decor was super unique, and really gave a lot of character to the place. While I didn't eat anything, the coffee was just meh. Nothing horrendous; nothing great. Pretty average. If you're looking for a hangout, this is a great place. If you're looking for delicious coffee, you may want to look elsewhere. read more

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! read more

I love stopping by for an early evening coffee to end the workday and start my night. The staff is friendly and efficient, even though they're about to close, they are ready with a smile and kind word. My experiences here have been nothing but positive, great coffee, great service - and if you're lucky enough to snag one, the Conecuh sausage cheese biscuits are amazing, as are the cranberry orange muffins. This O'Henry's is my favorite, so homey, with friendly faces every time. I love love love ending my day here!! read more

First of all let me say, I am an avid coffee drinker. My day doesn't start without a latte. Ive been all over the US, and with every place I have been, I have visited an independently owned coffee shop. O'Henry's is one of the best coffee places I have ever been to. I usually get their unsweetened iced lattes or coffee. Both are a dream! I bought a bag of hazelnut blend coffee to have at home for the weekends, and I have never had a coffee with so much flavor in my life! I will always be a supporter of O'Henrys! However, sometimes I am not in the Homewood/MountainBrook area. But... There is a coffee shop south of Birmingham in a little town called Chelsea. It is called Ground Up coffee, and it is located in Snider's pharmacy. They have O'Henry's coffee distributed to them, and that is what they use! So if you're south of Birmingham and you love O'Henry's as much as I do, give Ground Up a try! O'Henry's also has some of the best baked goods on the planet. It is everything you could want out of your neighborhood coffee shop! Please support this place :) read more

O'Henry's Coffees - Unsweetened almond milk iced latte :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

A cute coffee shop to study at, but finding a spot can be pretty difficult since it's such a popular shop! It's also a pretty cute place for dates since there's a lot of small 2-people tables. I love that it's nearby a few spots to grab food at, so if you need a quick lunch break, you have a good number of options. My go-to is the Iced Vanilla Coffee Royale...SO GOOD. Staff is also super friendly. During one of my visits, I accidentally spilled my drink right after getting it, and they super quickly cleaned up the mess I made and gave me another one. Honestly, it's a pretty solid coffee shop in Birmingham. read more

This was just Meh for me. I wanted to love it but it was just a-ok. The shop itself is cute and has lots of seating though. I had the turtle coffee with almond milk and it was way too sweet for my liking (I could barely taste the coffee) and the milk was way way way too hot! I was kind of excited though when he asked if it was for here or to go and I said here (hoping for a mug)... unfortunately it was not in a mug! Just a regular to go cup! When I go to a coffee shop and see other people with mugs and I say that it will be for here, I just assume they will give me a mug... so I was disappointed! Maybe you have to ask??? I don't know?? Unfortunately I don't think I will go back, as there are a ton of amazing coffee shops in Birmingham. read more

So I grew up with the O'Henrys craze. Some days were good. Some days not so good. I love the cappuccino chocolate muffins and I discovered my favorite drink of all time, a London Fog, here and am eternally grateful. However.... The drinks are way overpriced. I can get my drink and breakfast at another local coffee place for the same price of just the drink. They also no longer carry my favorite drink because they only serve Front Porch Teas (our fav pepper place tea). It does not taste as good and as a non coffee drinker, I'm disappointed in the lack of options. No more earl gray tea hurts my soul. My final complaint is there inconsistencies in prices. Custom made drinks are charged differently and once I asked them about it and didn't really get much of an answer. Overall I'll still treat myself to a muffin but my drink days are gone. read more

Mmmmm. I always love it when I can get something local. Starbucks is my go-to at the office , but when I'm traveling, I want to go "real." I give 5 stars to O'henrys for the taste of the mocha latte I had, with real chocolate. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. There were some dessert that looked out of this world but I didn't try one. Regrets... read more

Tried the Royale iced coffee with oat milk, very good! Tables are distanced, and there is a protective shield at the front. However, there was a homeless man that came in and was trying to kiss peoples hands, unavoidable but odd. read more

Best flavored coffee in town. Place can be a little cramped when busy but awesome coffee and vibe

Just a wonderful, cozy, friendly and very local spot. Oh, and the coffee is superb also! I visit almost every time I'm in Homewood. Great place, makes me smile to think about it! read more

Great coffee, food, & service. Lots of exceptional bean choices for brewing at home. Try Christmas blend- it's addictive!

Why 4 stars? Because caffeine needed was acquired here. --- --- --- After a long night of hunting for Bushwackers and highly competitive bar games, I awoke in the Aloft hotel in a daze. I had a long day of professional eating ahead of me, and was very much in need of a caffeine fix. I also needed a muffin. O'Henry's for me fell into the range of "I've had better craft coffee, usually from hipster joints, but it's certainly better than Starbucks." A very distinct category on my coffee rating scale, but O'Henry's is firmly planted there. It's what 4-star reviews were invented for. Oh, and the muffin was really good. read more

This is probably the best coffee house in Homewood, maybe even in the whole Birmingham area. Exactly this one - not the other O'Henry's that is near Brookwood village. They have very good cinnamon rolls, carrot cakes and amazing berry muffins and chocolate biscotti. Their coffee maybe not as good as in some places in Seattle, but it's still good enough to be enjoyed. They make a lot of interesting coffee-based drinks that are a nice change to your regular latte. And last, but not least - you can ask them to pour coffee in a mug. read more

Waiting for my normal dark rose coffee on Thursday morning and we should be there very easy transaction turned into a 20 minute pain. I ordered my dark roast and apparently they ran out they said they were brew and bring it out to me 20 minutes later I was still sitting at the table waiting while every other individual is getting multiple frozen drinks or coffee. so I asked for my coffee and they look at me clueless. so I probably will not be coming back here to this location across from Lifetime read more

Cool local coffee shop. This is the only location I've been too. I loved the inside decor. I enjoyed just looking at the different antiques hanging on the walls. The inside feels a little cramped though, the tables are kind of packed together. The coffee is good and came out hot. I tried the snickerdoodle latte. I thought it would be sweeter but it has a nice strong coffee flavor. I also tried the lemon blueberry scone which was awesome. Perfectly light and fluffy on the inside with just a hint of lemon- delicious! read more

Love coming here when in B'ham. Great coffee, great vibe (always a combo of college students and us older coffee lovers) and a couple of great locations! We prefer the SoHo location to Brookwood Village, though I can't say which, if either, is better run. Downtown just has that "urban village" feel you don't get from the chain cafes. Never been disappointed with their dark roast, apparently roasted on premises. And Kimberly loved that she can get heavy cream (as opposed to half and half) in specialty drinks. One problem with this place: because there's nothing like it back home, it now requires a travel budget line item. I'm writing this from the outside table at the downtown location, sipping Tanzanian Peaberry, fifth visit this weekend. We may need an intervention. read more

I'm convinced that Homewood is the most convenient location in the Birmingham metro area. No matter where you are in town, it doesn't take long to get there. That's why I've made O'henry's one of my top meeting places. Indoor and outdoor seating makes it easy to find the right spot to chat with a client or friend. While I'm a black coffee guy, It's hard to miss the creatively named specialty drinks on the menu such as the Snickerdoodle Mocha, Cool Caramello, and the Cinnamon Roll Espresso. One day, I promise, I will apease my sweet tooth with one of these choices. read more
