Who says all the fun has to be downtown? Weโ€™re getting an inside scoop of whatโ€™s new and noteworthy all over the Magic City, and youโ€™re invited. Here are five new Birmingham businesses that you need to keep an eye out forโ€”and we have all the details.

1. Hide and Hunter

This handcrafted and vintage leather goods store has some of the prettiest bags youโ€™ve ever seen. Made organically, these bags serve an even better causeโ€”they support domestic and international outreach trips with a portion of their proceeds. Their home brand, Hide and House, sets them apart with these hand-poured and vegan friendly candles as well as beautiful drinkware.

Hide and Hunter is based right here in the Magic City, and their first brick and mortar location at Mercantile on Morris is opening so soon. With a projected opening date of October 8, we are gearing up to go check out their opening this week.

2. Rickey Jโ€™s Bakery

Rickey Jโ€™s is a local, family owned bakery, and they recently opened their new location right off 280. Located previously in Pinson, this shop is about to hit the taste buds of Vestavia Hills. With chicken salad weโ€™ve heard is amazing, smaller baked goods and fresh cakes made to order, we can see why people are big fans.

Rickey Jโ€™s describes themselves as โ€œbaking with loveโ€ so itโ€™s no secret that this family owned shop is one of Birminghamโ€™s noteworthy businesses this week. Itโ€™s going right at the top of our list.

3. Slimโ€™s Pizzeria

This Bay Area based bubble tea shop, Teaspoon, is officially coming to The Magic City. As their first location in the Southeast, we canโ€™t wait to be the first to show them a good, old-fashioned Southern welcome.

They will serve classic and unique boba tea flavors with fresh ingredients and add-ins such as taro chunks, egg or almond pudding. Donโ€™t worry, dairy sensitive friendsโ€”Teaspoon has oat milk options, too. We canโ€™t wait for all of the poppinโ€™ pictures that weโ€™ll take with our gourmet boba tea. Make sure to keep an eye out for an opening date, it is estimated early 2022.
