According to Yelp, these are some of the best coffee shops in Birmingham.
Seeds Coffee Company
Seeds Coffee Company is a Birmingham, AL coffee shop that is as lively and active as it is warm and welcoming. They believe in giving their customers hand-crafted coffee from the best coffee beans in the world – and believe that a cup of coffee isn’t just a cup of coffee. It’s also a piece of art. From latte art, like hearts and our famous Seeds dragon, to artisan-crafted brews, Seeds has the rich coffee experience our customers have come to expect from their community coffee shop.
Revelator Coffee Company
Revelator is, and will always be, a work in progress. Their sourcing is driven by knowledge and experience at coffee origin, and they know that producers can only deliver great coffee if they have engaged partners. Revelator sources seasonally, and chooses expressive coffees that showcase variety and region. Their shop menu is fluid and intentional, and their offerings are simple. They embrace change and rotate fresh coffees in as the seasons change. They also showcase their coffees on a few brew methods and use simple, rustic ingredients. No frills, no fuss.
The Red Cat
The Red Cat recognizes the trend toward lighter roasts in the hip coffee culture, and they have found a sweet spot that their customers like. The lighter roasts turn out too citrusy/lemony and lack the roast flavor that so many people still enjoy. They embrace the new standards for pulling shots of espresso and for texturing milk. Latte art is not a pretty picture in your coffee, it’s an indication that care has been given to the process of making your drink. Red Cat will also French Press coffee to order if that’s what the customer wants.
Saturn Birmingham
Saturn opens at 7am to serve the community with freshly brewed coffee and warm local pastries. They are teamed up with Stumptown Coffee (Portland, Oregon), who offers direct trade coffee from Latin America, Africa, and Indonesia, and Birmingham’s own We Have Doughnuts, who provides a supply Old Fashioned doughnuts baked fresh daily. For visitors wanting to relax with friends, read a book, or finish work, Saturn has a warm environment with natural lighting, spacious seating, USB chargers built into the bar, and free open-network WiFi.
Octane
Octane likes to think local. They roast their beans right next to the cafe and use milk from a nearby dairy so their baristas can craft a quality, enjoyable experience that makes you feel like you’re really at home. Octane uses the same sensibilities in their bar program, and take inspiration from around the world. They have three specialty roasts: Super Regular, White Lightning, and Gravy.
