from Google & Yelp"Great cozy spot with amazing service! I had the cortado and huevos rancheros which were both delicious! Will definitely come back!"
"Stoped here before a movie at the Birmingham 8. Got a Mexican mocha frappe. It's got cayenne pepper and isn't super hot, but the heat lingers a while. Other than that it's pretty good. The barista was friendly. Interesting little place where you can see through glass into some other businesses. It's different."
"This is a very good place to grab a quick bite for breakfast and your morning coffee. They have really good coffee and breakfast options. I would really recommend their spinach feta frittatas and coffee cakes. 🍰 The place is ideally located in downtown Birmingham next to many businesses. However during weekdays, it may be slightly difficult to find parking nearby. The seating is ample and the service is really good as well."
"I haven’t been the most consistent customer at Roast since it opened around 2017, but I decided to try it again because I am incredibly disappointed with the quality of lattes at pretty much every place in downtown Birmingham. And honestly? I was pleasantly surprised. I got the Golden Joy with Oatmilk and less sweet. It was smooth and creamy with creme brulee infused milk. The color was gorgeous, a warm golden brown which is what you want your latte to look like, and it tasted just as yum. It wasn’t too acidic or too dark roast like Commonwealth. I also love the cute latte names (like Kuppa Joy) and how they put effort into fun seasonal specials. The only gripe I have is I wish they kept the old recipe of the GF Almond Butter bar. It was richer, thick, and gooey. But the baristas are kind, the interior is always cozy and clean, and the coffee is consistent. I will get this again 💕"
"It was my first visit, and my friend brought me here. Alexis recommended a coffee called something “Joy,” and honestly that’s the perfect name for it. The flavor was rich and unique, not something you find every day. It was absolutely wonderful. Thank you, Alexis, for the great recommendation. I really enjoyed it! 💛 The other staff were also so kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. And I have to mention, the restroom was incredibly clean. Little things like that really make me want to come back again. 🌿"
"Good barista team; great accurate descriptions of my guests complex drink requirements. Happy customer service and quick service. Pretty uptown decor though..."
