How are the inspections conducted?

The food service inspection scores are updated regularly on the Jefferson County Department of Health website. In this food service inspection edition, the scores were received after February.

Lucy’s Coffee and Tea – 100

More than 26 years ago, Lucy’s opened one of Birmingham’s first coffee shops in the UAB business district.  Who can ever forget the moment, now 12 years ago, when Starbucks tried to open right beside Lucy’s on University Blvd.? The entire community rallied by her side. We all love the food and coffee, but most all Birmingham loves Lucy Bonds’ smile and  generous spirit.

McFly’s Bird Shoppe – 96

Located in the heart of Five Points South, McFly’s is a wonderful addition to Birmingham funkiest entertainment district. McFly’s Bird Shoppe offers all sorts of tenders, including chicken, turkey and vegan tenders (that sounds interesting) with crazy good signature sauces like Bloody Mary Ketchup, Queso and Nashville Hot Mayo and sides including tater tots and french fries. You can add flavors to those tots and fries, too.

Crestline Bagel Company in Mountain Brook – 95

No surprise here – Delish.com named Crestline Bagel one of the 50 Best Bagel Shops in America in 2018.

We still remember interviewing owners Jennifer and Ralph Yarbrough about their bagels.  They love their customers . We also love to see them grow! The Yarbrough’s have opened up shops in Cahaba Heights and Innovation Depot in the past 2 years.
