Church Street Coffee Books

What a lovely place. I came here on a Sunday seeking a relaxing place to have coffee and read a book. Lovely staff, good coffee, and definitely try the breakup cookie.

The atmosphere was great. Books and nice chairs for reading while sipping coffee. Service was okay by high school students who learned to practice business skills. Coffee was subpar. More of a rendezvous point than a coffee lover's heaven.

My chi latte was not good… I had them remake it but just was not for me. But it was a nice little place with a loft (great for studying). The staff was kind and place clean. I am looking forward to going again and trying something different.

The atmosphere here is lovely. The service was prompt and friendly. I’ve only visited once and had tea, which was nicely flavored. My companions also enjoyed their beverages.

This place is AMAZING! The coffee is excellent and the baked goods, especially the shortbread cookies and breads, are simply fantastic! Prices are reasonable, and the UAB students working there are wonderful. I would give Church Street ten stars if I could! If I lived in the area, I would visit every day! Keep in mind that the staff relies on our tips to help with their income, so be generous! Consider leaving $2 instead of $1, or $5 instead of $2. Pro tip: I just tried the Tree Hugger bar, which has a delightful combination of granola, sunflower seeds, and brown sugar. It’s one of the best-tasting, absolutely delicious, somewhat healthy bars I’ve ever had! You have to try it!
