Restoration 49

This place is an absolute gem! If I was local I’d go here all the time. It is much more pleasant than what Birmingham and Auburn coffee shops have had to offer in recent years. It’s very beautiful and cozy. Soft instrumental Christian music playing and very cool 1940’s and 1950’s car restoration themes. The coffee is great, we had the 1949 and DIY both large and hot and it was fantastic. They have books and board games available while you enjoy your drink / food. The service was friendly and efficient. Keep up the great work!

Very very very cute staff! They are the best Everything there is super yummy! If you want to try something different try out the matcha it tastes amazing!

Patronized this wonderful coffee shop twice with my husband while visiting his mother. We try to find local places on our travels. From the moment we parked, we knew this was a local gem! Day one we got the 1949 and the True Value. Day 2 we had the Nuts and Bolts and the Irish Delight(seasonal). Both days my husband has a the cheese and fruit claw. The coffee is fresh ground. Menu is small but that allows for a more unique array of flavors and adds to the experience. This place is a must go! Love the old cars, furniture, and history behind the building. Staff is amazing! Both ladies at the counter remembered us from 2 days prior. This place makes you want to stay for hours. Games and puzzles available to relax and enjoy your time.

The Iced True Value was fantastic!!! The store is impeccable as well! Stuff was very friendly and informational. 😊

Love this place! My husband and I come here to have our day dates. They have a small menu of food that includes a variety of muffins. Their drink menu also has a variety of drinks that can be made with several options of milk alternatives. The atmosphere is usually quiet. The restored cars, lounge couches and chairs make for a good environment for someone studying, talking, meeting or simply just enjoying a drink. For the majority of the staff to be young adults/teenagers, the customer service is exceptional! We drive 30minutes and past several coffee shops just to get here so that tells you how much we like it!! Sidenote: if you get the matcha, try it with pistachio syrup, good Lord it’s delicious!!
