    Great coffee and atmosphere. I always bring my pup here to get work done and grab a latte. It's not overly crowded like other places which is nice. A good place for a cool retrieve during the summer. The lattes are good but not my absolute favorite. I look for a specialty latte when not making at home, which they don't really have here. It is still worth a try as their base lattes and coffee are good. Employees are always very welcoming and love on my pup as soon as we walk in.

    As a local, I can't tell you how much I love this place! Their drink specials are always amazing, and they have the most delectable empanadas. So happy to have this place close to home and open on a MONDAY. Also the cutest plants and funky artwork are a vibe.

    Small coffee shop around the corner from Big Spoon Creamery. A lot of coffee options, I've never seen latte slushies so I had to try one on this warm spring day. It did NOT disappoint it was so so good & refreshing. They had caramel and mocha option today. They had breakfast empanadas we didn't try but a lot of people were ordering. Had some nice merch hanging for sale (sweatshirts, coffee, etc). A really great spot for coffee to-go or sit in and study/catch up with friends. I'd definitely come back when we're in the area!

    Punch Love is a spot to nerd out on coffee. The multiple roasters (all options you really can't find anywhere else) available in the retail section tells you that as you walk in. It's an espresso based menu here with a drip. Everything is dialed in perfectly and you can tell has been painstakingly crafted to taste great. I'd suggest that even if you love your milk based drink that you try one of the single origin espresso shots. There's always something unique here, and you'd be surprised with how much you like it. Plus you get some chocolate (and if my previous mention about needing out told you anything, no it's not Hershey's, but way better!) to go with it and it always compliments the espresso.

    A very cute coffee spot located in the Avondale area. I had the seasonal coffee drink, the "Bad Date" which was a cinnamon and date brown sugar latte with a hint of vanilla. So good! The service was great as well and always nice when they remember a face. Good to know they will be expanding as well!

    Atmosphere: Punch Love Coffee is a small, bright shop in the Makebhm space. There are several tables outside but only a few small tables inside, so it may be more difficult to come with a larger group. The interior is minimalistic with plants scattered around the cafe, as well as a giant monstera! Service: The owner/barista was very nice! One thing to note is that they don't have wifi, so this might not be the optimal place for working remotely. Food: We ordered a vanilla cappuccino and regular cappuccino. They were both served at a nice temperature -- not too hot or cold. The vanilla was a bit on the sweet side, but we still very much enjoyed our drinks. Overall: We loved how intimate and refreshing Punch Love Coffee felt. The drinks were good, and the vibes were positive and friendly. We'd say Punch Love Coffee is a great place to read, chat, and enjoy a drink.

    What a cute, new coffee shop in Avondale! This was one of the best mochas I have ever had. I can't wait to stop by again. It was nice and quiet on Saturday morning and I was able to enjoy my latte and just people watch as everyone strolled in.

    PUNCH LOVE IS A LOVE LANGUAGE! Tim is slinging all the sassiness for the fans! Don't walk run and grab the best coffee in town!

    Small, intimate setting. The Barista/Owner was super chill and cool. I had the "Put it in reverse Terry" to drink and a blueberry danish to eat. Ah-mazing! I can't wait to get back, I think I may have found a new coffee spot to frequent!

    Enjoyment with my friend in this wonderful ambience
    Alejandro B.

    Wonderful service, the ambience is super relaxed and the cappuccino I got was incredible! Super great milk texture but the espresso in the cap was incredibly flavorful. You could taste the fruit but barely any tartness which made the flavor of the cappuccino so balanced comfy and DELICIOUS. Highly recommend, especially if your looking for a nice slow Saturday coffee or if you need a cozy spot to get work done. This place is a gem!

This was the spot we would all come to to do homework. It's still got that same warmth and charm. I came in on a Wednesday morning to sit and do some work. I ordered a cappuccino, bran muffin, and a breakup cookie to take home. The cappuccino is just as expected. Served at the perfect temp, great flavor. The bran muffin, which was my attempt to be healthy, was really a delicious stand-out. I would definitely get that again. And, of course, the breakup cookies are some of the best cookies in town. They bake all of the baked goods in-house, I believe, which gets a round of applause from me. A lot of the recipes are still the same ones I remember from 7 years ago. One thing I noticed that's even BETTER than I remember was the books and gift selection. A lot of the books caught my eye. It's a great curation of fiction, non, memoirs, birding books, children's, etc. They also carry the Village Apothecary candles, which are made locally and have some packaging I really love. Church Street is one of the Birmingham staples. I hope they're open for a million more years. They do what they do exceptionally well.

There wasn't line when we got there but the crowd usually follows us for some reason so by the time we left there was standing room only and a line out the door.

Coffee - I got a vanilla latte extra sweet (no lavender) and my daughter said it was one of the best. I thought it was pretty good. I would go again when back in Birmingham!

The young girl making the coffee was loudly talking about someone who messed up their coffee order this morning and how frustrated she was.

Leaving the one guy serving the one customer. It was 11:30 am on a rainy day. Figured I could do without a cream cheese croissant and coffee and left. Had already waited 5 as the only other person in there and did not want to wait another undetermined amount of time. I know one of the bakers. It's a shame the front has been so bad these last two times.

A bold claim, no? Maybe that's all you need to know... but I love writing about coffee shops so don't stop here. I love real deal coffeehouses (yes, in a house) and it's so cozy in here. I didn't stay to work because every seat was taken both times I came in (late morning), so get here early or perhaps late, if you want a seat in the middle of the week. The baristas couldn't be nicer. They took their time and chatted with customers, a rarity in those crowded coffee chains. Do check out those seasonal lattes (I mean, for February, a cherry blossom latte? Say less). My favorite is on the regular menu, a salted rosemary latte and it's literally perfect. I adjusted the sweetness level to be less so, and I loved the notes of floral rosemary and coffee. Pro tip: skip the line and order ahead!

It really did taste like a blueberry muffin. The patio had a relaxed, cozy vibe that made it easy to just slow down and enjoy the morning. Only downside was parking. I had to circle the block twice before finding a spot, so just be prepared if you go during a busy weekend morning. Thankfully, they do have a drive-thru option which is a huge plus if you're short on time or don't want to deal with parking. Definitely still worth the stop for the coffee and atmosphere!!!

The menu was large and well diverse: they even had a cortado on the menu which I cant get at all coffee shops!   I am surprised not more people know about the place. I had never heard of it until I was scrolling through highly rated coffee shops on Yelp! The space inside is large and can seat lots of people! For being in Birmingham this surprised me; I feel like most coffee shops here are fairly small.    I also appreciated how relaxed and welcoming the environment felt. It would be such a great spot for studying, meeting a friend, or even having a casual work meeting. The music wasn't too loud, and everything felt clean and well-kept.

It's such a unique place with it being both a restaurant as well as a shop. It's got a very nostalgic feel to it with the decor and items for sale. I saw a couple students but when I visited I mostly saw upper class looking Caucasian ladies. Being very laid back, down to earth and often times socially awkward, I admit that it felt a little hoity toity, while also being a very welcoming spot. It's hard to explain, so you'll have to check it out for yourself. Also worth noting for the plus size community: the chairs are not plus size friendly. (See zoomed in photo) The employees there were on top of their jobs and super helpful. They cleaned up the tables that emptied quickly, as the lunch crowd trickled in. The food was good. I loved the creative presentation of the sampler plate! The pimento cheese was very cold and hard to spread but I still it. The toast triangles were delicious! While they offer a lot of excellent coffee choices. I only got a 1/2 & 1/2 tea. Even the restroom was really neat with the retro decor. I'd definitely go back.
