Nice place with good coffee. For those not living in the apartments, it would be nice if you could use a restroom on the same level as the coffee shop.

By far the friendliest and most polite staff of any coffee establishment I have been in. They seem to love what they do and enjoying serving! The quality of the coffee is fantastic as well!

Truly a phenomenal coffee shop. Always greeted with smiles and positivity.

Staff was great! I like my coffee black with the pour over method. Usually I get the more bold flavors but wanted to try something new. They let me have a sample of the more bold one just to make sure I didn’t want that. I decided on my first choice but the bold one was really good also, I just wanted to try something new. When my coffee came out I got a complimentary square of shortbread. This square was amazing! Also the syrup they brought out was warmed up. Talk about exceptional. Like I never expected to even get that little square or be able to taste test a flavor. The picture is what’s after but I really was enjoying it and didn’t think to stop and take a picture. Also the little paper cup was my taste test cup the little glass one was the syrup and the syrup soaked paper towel is what the shortbread came on. For sure worth a visit!

REALLY good coffee drinks!!! I always get the Rosemary Brown Sugar Latte. The Sausage biscuits are ridiculously delicious and the blueberry crumb cake is faaaantastic!!! The service is always spot on! No attitude and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Hands down, THE BEST local coffee shop in Birmingham.

Wonderful cappuccino! I haven't had a cappuccino this good since the last time I went over seas! I will definitely be back!!

I didn’t expect this cafe or most cafes in Birmingham cause I haven’t discovered a good latte. I really liked their latte and the staff was really nice and friendly!

Disclaimer: when you pull up, you think you’ll be going into an apartment leasing office BUT as soon as you walk in, it’s a beautiful coffee shop! The staff was super friendly when I walked in. The dirty chai latte was great. And the oatmeal I got was awesome.Must stop by!!

Maple bourbon latte was something special. Once you acclimate to and come to terms with the fact that this coffee shop is in an apartment complex clubhouse (you’ll be greeted by a leasing agent at a desk), you’ll find yourself in a comfy spot with great service and games on the lower level (shuffleboard, pool, and ping pong). Weird at first, but turned out to be a marvelous date spot.

My wife and I visited looking for some afternoon caffeination expecting good things considering the positive reviews. We were disappointed by both our drinks, especially considering the premium on their prices.My wife had a cortado with was so sour and under-extracted that it was clear no one had dialed in their machines in a while. My pour over had the opposite problem; extremely bitter and over-extracted. I couldn't even finish my cup.The staff was nice and the space was clean (this would have been a 5 star experience if they had better quality control), but I expect more if you're going to charge craft coffee prices like that. My advice, train your staff on how to dial in a grinder and don't use the same grinder for both espresso and pour-over. Dial it in at LEAST once a day, and instead of including the excess pour-over in a shot glass use that to teste test the brew before serving it to someone.If you want good coffee look elsewhere. You'll get better coffee (at least you'll know what expect) at Starbucks.
