In mid-2022, Honest Coffee Roasters announced they would be partnering up with a team of experienced Birmingham restauranteurs to open the first Honest Coffee in Birmingham at The Pizitz Food Hall. The team includes Jesus Mendez (owner of Unos Tacos, The Louis Bar and Adiõs), Vinh Tran (owner of Ono Poké and partner in Unos Tacos, The Louis Bar and Adiõs), Robin Lindgren and Christy Wimberly, Honest Roaster’s Huntsville-based partner who opened The Rocket City’s location.
Now, Honest Coffee Roasters has found a second Birmingham-area location to make their mark.
Coming to Edgewood, April 2023
Honest Coffee Roasters will be opening a new location in the former Dreamcakes space in Edgewood later this year.
“The former Dreamcakes location has been attractive to our team for a while. Our partner Vinh Tran—who owns Ono Poke at Edgewood—determined the new space would make a great home for Honest Coffee. Edgewood carries all of the beautiful qualities of a family-friendly neighborhood. We can’t wait to be part of the community!”
