City Bowls

I was visiting town from Nashville for a concert, and always try a local coffee shop. The barista was fantastic and explained every option in detail. I loved the little cozy, middle-of-town setting in the small strip of restaurants. The coffee was fantastic (shout out to Honest Roasters in Nashville) and the ago toast hit the spot. The have plenty of seating and tables outside as well, to enjoy a coffee outside. Well done!

I’m loving the collaboration between City Bowls & Honest Coffee (partial to Honest as someone who is from HSV!). It feels like the place has maintained the spirit of both businesses which I love. The s’mores bowl is a must every October for me!

Loved coming to this place on my recent trip to Birmingham! The staff were friendly and the coffee was obviously made with love AND expertise! The bacon jam they put in sandwiches is delicious and all the syrups are made in house which not many places do. I will definitely come back next time I’m in town!

Friendly staff, nice chill cafe vibes. Plenty of seating on a Friday afternoon. Americano was 7/10, good, but nothing to write home about. Matcha latte 3/10, very little matcha—mostly milk. Acai bowl was overpriced ($10 for what’s in the photo) and honestly underwhelming (esp as acai is in the store name). The acai itself was too frozen to eat with a spoon, the fruit and granola were tasty though. Sandwich was also mid, 6/10 also way overpriced. Best part was the jam. Would have preferred a McDonald’s McMuffin to be honest. Wouldn’t come back for the food, but maybe I’d try the coffee again? Avoid the matcha latte.

Horrible with accommodations for customers. I paid for extra coconut and her response was that's what that is. They gave me a little cup with the flakes the should have been on my bowl from the start. So basically I paid for something and didn't get it. And they were very rude about my issue as well.
