      The smoothies here - unmatched! Specifically, the mango / coconut combination is lovely. Whenever I'm in BHAM I have to go here! Definitely give it a try!

      The coffee is 5 stars. I am a black coffe drinker. But I saw the list of those tasty lattes and thought, hmmm... after chatting with the cashier who graciously walked me through the menu, I decided on the Abyssinian with sugar free vanilla, extra cinnamon and an extra shot. It was one of the best cups of coffee I've had in years. I was shocked. It was strong, but not bitter, spiced but not sweet. Part of my four star rating was that it could have been a bit warmer.

      There's plenty of seating including tables and a couch and outside tables. I chose to do some work, but the wifi wasn't working, hence another reason for 4 stars. A coffee house with no wifi is just wild to me. However, I'd definitely be back!

      Abyssinian with added shot and sugar free vanilla. Addictive!!

      Thank you! Delicious coffee, gF options for breakfast in a fun atmosphere. Seating table top, high top or watching out at the people passing by or in this case, Farmers Market was going on outside this Saturday and it was so much fun! A rockabilly duo. Is there anything better? Well some things yes, but for regional Americana tastes and enjoyment this is great!
      Street and lot parking, made it easy to stop in and enjoy.

      My son took me to this coffee shop. We had mocha macchiato's and they were delicious. The upbeat music is a bit loud but pretty common. There were lots of students posted up with laptops open. The staff was friendly. They offer some food options but we only have coffee. What I loved to see is the diversity of the population in this coffee shop. The only thing I didn't really care for was all the smoke (from
      the kitchen, I assume) in the shop.

      We stopped at this coffee shop in Birmingham on our way to Memphis. My sister and I got coffee (cafe au lait and an chicory latte) and my son had a hot chocolate. We all loved our drinks. The coffee was fresh and flavorful and the hot chocolate wasn't overly sweet. It must have been our lucky day because it was cookie happy hour or something - all the cookies were half off so we got 3 chocolate chip cookies which we delicious - warm, soft, sweet and melt in your mouth buttery. The decor is eclectic and fun and the staff are really friendly and fun! I live in the Atlanta area so I can't say I'll be back, but I recommend this place for locals and passers through alike

      This is my go to coffee shop, I love to stop here after I finish at Pepper Place market. I have tried the smoothies and the chai tea lattes. The iced chai tea latte is my go to. This coffee shop normally has a long line but they move very fast and it's never a long wait for your order. I have to try the food the next time I visit bc it looks pretty good. There is plenty of parking options, street parking or the parking lot. The prices for the coffee are reasonable. I would highly recommend trying this location the next time you need a caffeine fix

      I love the cozy bookstore vibe I get from Red Cat's Pepper Place location. The brick walls and huge windows really capture a quaint city vibe.

      The shop is located in a hub of other businesses and there's a big parking lot beside the building, so it's not hard to snag a spot and get settled. I like to sit outside when the weather's nice.

      There's plent of indoor seating and my fav spot is on the couches. As a remote worker I also appreciate all of the electrical outlets.

      I prefer tea so I can't speak on the coffee but I did enjoy their seasonal lavender lemonade. They also have a nice food menu, but some dishes appear to be made in the microwave so be sure everything is heated through before digging in.

      It's a great place to come start your day with a drink or knock out some work. It's particularly nice on the weekends when the market is in full swing as we

      Blasted hot on a 100degree death March across Birmingham before the convention tomorrow. Nice guys helped me choose my first iced coffee. I'm definitely sitting and sipping, well guzzling the first few ounces and then going to sit and enjoy it as I cool off and contemplate the walk back to the hotel. Great little place and if the coffee cups didn't weigh anything I'd buy one!

      Cold brew Abyssian was a delightful choice for my first cold brew.

      I got a smoothie today. Banana, mango and strawberry and it is tasty. Normally I get a mocha but since I made a change in my plans today and glad I did. Service is always fast.
