Church Street Coffee & Books

Walked in here on a whim and was so pleased! I apologized for telling them what I usually get at Starbucks, but they told me not to apologize and they whipped me up something delicious and better than I get at Starbucks. Everyone was kind and friendly. Will definitely be back again when I’m in the area!

Fun little atmosphere. Had tea citrus tea with honey - not coffee - and it was great. Fun book selection if you're an enthusiast or looking for a gift.

Would definitely like to be back for two of my favorite things and great cookies as well. Super nice staff today.

Service is good. Drinks are really good, and the atmosphere is great. It's pretty inside and outside the shop, though parking was a bit complicated as I was new to the area and it was a busy afternoon.

This is a wonderful little coffee shop in Mountain Brook. It's also a small book store.very nice atmosphere and excellent coffee.

Hazelnut cappuccino was delicious, just enough sweetness. The breakup cookie was alright. More outdoor seating would be really nice but they did have some comfy chairs on the side.

That breakup cookie is worth ALL the hype, it was delicious Great little place, you can't go wrong with books and coffee. The Treehugger granola bar was also really good! It was a little hard to find at night if, like me, you're not familiar with the area but it is a drive I do not regret! There's a reason this place is on a bunch of 'Things to do in Birmingham' lists!

Had an iced mocha and a breakup cookie. Both were really good! Good atmosphere and friendly customer service. :)

I stopped here one evening while in the area on business. I just wanted a quiet place to do a bit of journaling and to read. Church Street is ideal. I love how they don't have music going all the time. I also like the vibe where people sort of treat it like a library in that they speak in whispers or hushed tones.

This would be a terrible place for groups, but ideal for getting work done by yourself. I would not recommend it as a place to collaborate on something. The outdoor seating area is nice and that seems to be less like a library.

The seating is limited, but I love how there are little nooks here and there. There is one spot kind of next to the bar area where one person can sit on a cushion. I found a high table upstairs in a little alcove overlooking the street.

Busy, but for good reason. Went here for the first time on Sunday. Had a cappuccino and a breakup cookie. Staff went out of their way to let me know if I had a few minutes that they had a fresh batch of cookies coming out soon, so I waited and was definitely not disappointed. The breakup cookie seriously has to be one of the best desserts in town and the coffee and vibe were great to sit down and stay a while.

Soothing coffee with impressive collection of books. Try their complementary breakup cookie😋. Do visit first floor for quite study and patio for light music with great view.😀

warm & inviting coffee shop in the wooded neighborhoods of Birmingham. Enjoy the "break up cookie" or even another option like the triple berry muffin. Here, portion sizes are just right - not too much or too little.

A nice calm place with nice employees. Got the Iced Latte and it was the best coffee Ive ever had!

Such a cute little coffee shop and book store! Great atmosphere, upstairs, kid nook, and cozy patio. Moka and Wren made us delicious Amaretto Chai Lattes, and a berry apple juice for our kiddo, and the pastries made by Ian were great! Try the Breakup Cookie. Wish we could've stayed longer on our way back home, but we'll be back for sure!

This place is AWESOME! Great coffee, great bakery items (shortbread cookies and the breads are just fantastic!), reasonably priced, and the UAB students working there are great! I'd give Church Street ten stars if I could! If I lived in the state, I'd be there every day!

Remember: The kids depend on our tips to supplement their income so treat them well! Drop in $2 instead of $1, or $5 instead of $2. 😃

Pro Tip: I just tried the "Tree Hugger" bar. Kind of a granola-y, sunflower seed-y, brown sugar-y, concoction that is one of the best tasting, absolutely delicious, sorta-healthy bars I've ever had! Try it!

Excellent shop for pastries. The peanut butter cookie and the Breakup cookie are incredible.

Great lattes, break up cookies are my fave! They’re delish!

Had two back to back business meetings. Busy but relaxed atmosphere. Recommend.

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.

Delicious coffee and even sweeter treats. The breakup cookie is so insanely good. Wish there was more seating, but the coffee is so worth it. Nice atmosphere.
