We asked our audience on social media:

I browsed through all 250+ comments and put together a list of the top ten commented businesses!

Join in the latest conversation: What’s your go-to Valentine’s date spot?

Keep reading to see if your favorite local coffee shop made the list…

1. Wild Roast

Wild Roast had a plethora of votes as the one coffee shop our followers would consume for the rest of their lives. The cozy coffee shop is located in the heart of Bluff Park.

2. June

June Coffee was also a fan favorite. The coffee shop is a personal favorite of ours because it’s a short walk from the Bham Now office. Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy atmosphere that lets the outside in, thanks to the open garage door leading to a courtyard.

3. Bitty & Beau’s Coffee

One of the newer coffee shops to Birmingham, Bitty & Beau’s, made the list. I think this coffee shop speaks for itself and once you visit you’ll understand why people wouldn’t want to live without it.

4. Rochelle’s Coffee

Center Point residents, this one’s for you! Rochelle’s Place serves up delicious coffee beverages and sweet drinks like lemonade with sweet cold foam on top. Plus, this shop serves as a gathering place for those looking to socialize and meet. With WiFi, catering capacity and event rental space, this is the spot to be.

5. Red Cat

Our audience likes to cozy up with a seasonal treat or cup of coffee at either of the Red Cat locations in Birmingham. This coffee shop serves savory lunch specials and freshly baked pastries, too.

6. Caveat

Homewood’s Caveat is a Bham favorite according to our followers. I recommend sitting inside to catch up with a friend or if it’s a nice day, moving to their back patio to enjoy the beautiful trees and twinkle lights.

7. Gatos and Beans

Gatos and Beans is Alabama’s first ever cat café. Wondering what exactly a cat cafe is? Well… combine a cat adoption center with a café. If you’re a cat and coffee lover, this is like heaven on Earth.

8. Red Bike Coffee Shop

Red Bike Coffee is an Irondale-based coffee roaster that small-batch roasts beans to supply at coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Roaster Jon Robles is passionate about everything that goes into a great cup of coffee—from the beans to the roasting process.

9. Baba Java

Baba Java was another Birmingham favorite among our followers. The coffee shop in Hoover serves specialty coffee for all the different seasons.

10. Seeds Coffee Co.

Whether you love lattes or cold brews, Seeds Coffee is a go-to. The cozy coffee shop is a local favorite with high quality coffee. When my out-of-town friends visit Birmingham, they always want to make a stop at Seeds. 

If you could only have one Bham coffee shop for the rest of your life, who would it be? Let us know @bhamnow!
