Hooray for warmer weather and more openings, Birmingham. It’s Monday again, so we’re bringing you more opening news you don’t want to miss. Here are eight new Birmingham businesses coming soon, from restaurants to breweries.

1. Lady E’s Chick’n Cafe | Downtown Birmingham

Lady E’s Chick’n Cafe is brought to you by Lauryn England, a celebrity hairstylist and reality TV star. Lady E’s Chick’n Cafe will bring a “taste of love in the South”, with menu items like hot lemon pepper wings, Cajun ranch fries, pasta salad and more. The brand new restaurant will be the first owned by a Black, openly trans woman in Alabama.

2. Starbucks | Trussville

All you *Starbucks lovers* out there (and we hope you get the T-Swift reference) will be thrilled to know that there’s a new Starbucks location in Trussville. The first free-standing Starbucks in Trussville will be built out in the former Burger King space off of Highway 11. Soon, your morning commute will be even better—and more caffeinated.

3. City Bowls | Brock’s Gap

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for—City Bowls is returning to Hoover. After their former Hoover location closed in 2021, they’re happy to be back in the Hoover community.

“The previous Hoover location was not a corporately-owned location, meaning it was owned and operated by an outside group that had licensed the City Bowls name and business model. Their decision to close their doors was not based on performance and was a personal decision made by them and them alone.”

This new location will be in Brock’s Gap in Hoover—a newer development with favorites such as Santos Coffee, Moe’s Original Barbecue and Tre Luna.
