Great coffee, great food options with a simple cool vibe inside.

This is a cool little coffee house and a nice part of town I like the shops around in the parking is easy. The coffee was very flavorful I got a medium roast and I drink my coffee black so I know that coffee was good it wasnt just creamer that made it taste good. Ive been here many times and each time I had a good experience the baked items and breads and muffins are delicious. You can get anything from eggs to sandwiches to swag after you sip your coffee with seating inside and outside.

Jasmine green tea, hot chocolate and a peach muffin with lots of peaches in it yum. And a chocolate bar for the road. Great atmosphere the only down fall we had was the long line.

This was so good!! My son loved every bite as well! Everything was so fresh. I have had the spanakopita and the veggie wrap for takeout at my job. I’ve had the frappes and they’re delicious. Today was my first visit in person. I love the chill vibes. I had the Havana—coffee always great here! My son had the super fresh peach tea! Expectations were exceeded. We will return.

Okay so the crepes are awesome but what you need to know is that on Saturdays in spring to early fall there is a local market and its incredibly busy and since Saturday is the only time to get crepes at this location you have to come early as they are served 7-1pm but are out by 12. The railroad park location serves crepes Sunday only with the same time with less traffic though.

Nice little hipster place. They have a lot of gluten free and vegan options. I would suggest getting the Persian Latte. Very delicious. You would pay about 10$ for a coffee and muffin.

What a fun place. Good vibes, good food, good drinks, and great management.

Chattahoochee Choo Choo is a must see (at least once). As a historic train depot, connecting the northeast to the southern states, its especially interesting for children and railroad enthusiasts. Its free to walk around the building and the train yard. Very interesting comic-style graffiti art on the train platform wall, especially if youre trying to get to Hogwarts... シ

The best coffee place in town. I go multiple times a week and the coffee is always delicious and service is fast and friendly! You can’t go wrong with any of their signature lattes.

Ample seating, good food, and coffee of course 😊

Frankly Ive had better coffee from the clearance aisle at Walmart and for a coffee house I would expect better, though the redeeming quality is friendly people and good service.Their food isnt bad, based on coffee alone Id give two stars, but the inexpensive and above par quality on the food helps it out along with decent variety of flavors to mask their weak and cheap coffee. Id give it 3 1/2 but that is not an option.

This is my neighborhood coffee shop and I love it. Best coffee in town!

We were in town for a concert and found Red Cat Coffee online, they had great reviews, so we went!Its located in a good spot, the shop was clean (bathrooms are in the same building but down the hall) and it was a very cute place.When we walked in, we were greeted right away, the people were super nice and helpful. I REALLY wanted a coffee cup (they are SO cute)!!! $20... no thanks.I ordered a caramel macchiato. It was okay, at best. It didnt seem to have a good coffee flavor and very little caramel in it. It just didnt do the job for me.Overall, its a mediocre place to get a caramel macchiato, the other coffee, I have no idea. I would not go back, nor would I recommend to my friends, BUT, I DO suggest you go visit, at least once, and draw your own conclusions :) It may have just been an off day 🤷

A really chill place to eat,grab a drink and hang out.The staff is always friendly and attentive with good knowledge of thier craft.There is a farmers market at this plaza on Saturdays and I love to start my day there at the Red Cat.

Good WiFi, super chill, ample parking for the complex. Try the turkey and cranberry panini!

Breakfast burrito!!!!!! My wife loved the vegan zucchini bread too. Said it was the best bread shes ever had. Love from New Orleans!!

What can I say, my office is very close by and having a wonderful little shop like Red Cat is a blessing. Here I tend to stick with the basics, but I do love grabbing a chocolate cortado every now and again.. That drink is a must if you are spending some time working inside. Great Shop!

My husband and I tried this place on a whim. Im glad we did. The breakfast bowl is amazing and filling. I would not recommend ordering this for a quick stop. That level of tasty takes a little time. Its a comfy cozy atmosphere if you just want to meet a friend for lunch or a different place to read a book.

Red Cat is always great. Fantastic coffee (try the Bengal in any of its incarnations) Food is killer, on weekends the crepes are fantastic, for lunch the Pimento Cheese is no joke. The staff is also super friendly and helpful.

This place is clean, progressive, spacious, & fun. The spanakopita is DELICIOUS and the coffees are too. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely coffee shop with good beans. Gets very crowded on Saturday mornings when theres a farmers market.

My first time...I really enjoyed it and loved the coffee, croissant sandwich, and the baked goods. They have gluten free and veagan choices. Employees were very friendly and efficient. I will visit again...have to try the crepes on Saturdays!! ❤😋

Coffee was really good, love that they open at 7am!!

Not a huge selection, but what they have is really good. We enjoy this place.

Ohh my favorite place for delicious soups, salads, pimento cheese sandwich’s are fabulous! And the Mocha Frappe is... well just check out my pic!

Cute little coffee shop adjacent to the Railroad Park. Baristas were friendly and I appreciate that they offer non-dairy and gluten-free options. Indoor and outdoor seating available or get it to go and stroll the park while you sip!****Updated to add that their gluten-free muffins are awesome! So good!

A great location to meet up or sit and have a well-brewed coffee. Their signature lattes, warm or frozen, are delicious, and the staff are always kind. I wish this location had longer hours, but Ive enjoyed every one Ive spent here.

This place is absolutely amazing in every respect - the food and drinks, the atmosphere, every staff member and the super-nice owners, Aileen and Mike!!! I HIGHLY recommend The Red Cat to everyone! If you havent been here yet, you MUST check it out!

Of all the coffeehouses in Birmingham, this is my favorite. Great place to sit with a friend or client for coffee and conversation. I like to purchase their coffee beans to bring home, too.

Cute place!! Amazing coffee!!

Favoritest coffee shop of all-time. Been going to RC for years now and the order never changes: white chocolate caramel w housemade whipped cream... love the baristas, coffees delicious, if youre ever in town, go here.

The Red Cat Coffeehouse is my go to coffee stop when Im in Birmingham. I travel here a lot for work and I just love the cozy atmosphere! The Havana Brown latte is my all time favorite! Great baked goods as well!

Love the vibe. If they had a couch and I had 4 more friends, Id be a star in an early 90s sitcom.

Joel is the best! I walked in on a business phone call and intended to order coffee and a muffin when I was done. Joel filled my Red Cat tumbler I had with me with some fresh dark roast and told me I could pay for it when I was done with my call. I love the way the Red Cat takes care of people.

Coffee was fine as well as the food. My only issue I had was with the barista that couldn’t hear a word I was saying due to their hearing aid and whom didn’t appear to care that I couldn’t hear him. Second my issue was that while I was ordering the cashier at the front would answer other to go calls instead of just finishing my order. Location is nice and parking isn’t bad. I’ll stick with the railroad park location.

Great coffee and love the crepes! Cozy atmosphere and fast service.

With an open space that somehow still feels cozy, Red Cat @ Pepper Place is a great spot to relax or be productive. Ive met new and old friends here for delicious brownies, a tasty chai latte, and good conversation. All of their drinks are named after cat breeds which is super nerdy and wonderful and adds to the experience. There is a fantastic bar along one wall of huge windows that I find perfect to sit and do some work if thats what youre into. Plugs a plenty are available for our technology dependants. Whatever your cup of tea, you wont be disappointed.

As far as independent, non-chain coffee holes go, this is the best Birmingham has to offer its hamians.TWO LOCATIONS to enjoy! Railroad Park / Regions Field AND Lakeview/Pepper Place. I prefer the Lakeview location, but youll find the same excellent level of food/service at either location. Try their crepes at either location. While not true gourmet, definitely acceptable coffee shop pie hole stuffing!During the summer months, the Lakeview location is the place to relax and chill during the Saturday mornings only, Pepper Place Farmers Market event, with both indoor and outdoor seating.

Excellent latte. Good atmosphere but was a little noisy for me.

Andrés is the BEST! Made sure my order was exactly how I wanted it and even offered for me to come back so he could sweeten it if I didn’t like it. If you’re the manager, Andres should get a raise.

Anytime you have locally roasted beans you take your coffee to a whole new level! Thats what they do here and its the only coffee you will ever be able to drink again. Starbucks cant compete with the flavor pallet they have to offer. Freshness is truly everything. Loved every sip and had to grab another one before hitting the road. I wish we had one of these in Orlando.

The coffee is very good, friendly staff, and cozy environment.

The Bengal coffee is absolutely amazing! Dark chocolate and caramel. Also, the cheddar broccoli soup and the Martin biscuit were excellent. Would definitely come back here. Great atmosphere. Great staff, very friendly and helpful.

Love the convenient location in Pepper Place! Theres a shared parking lot, so unlike many downtown eateries you dont have to worry as much about on-street parking. The big open floor plan makes it where you can have an intimate conversation without feeling like you are disturbing people working on their laptops. The coffee is delicious and they even use environmentally-conscious spaghetti as stirrers rather than plastic. My only con about the experience was the food. I ordered an omelet that was dry and tasted microwaved, but I didnt really go for the food. I just spontaneously ordered. (It isnt any worse than ordering food from Starbucks though.) All in all, the good outweighs the bad. Just stick to coffee or something easy like a muffin and youll love this place!

Red Cat is great for atmosphere, location, and socializing, but I find the coffee fine and the food just okay.

Ive gone here for years and Ive yet to see a red cat. Actually, they dont even have cats on the menu.The coffee and muffins are pretty good though.

Love the staff here! The pastries are magnificent as well.

Super friendly and helpful. Lots of options. Liked everything we ordered. They have way more than coffee... They have smoothies, iced drinks, frappes, house made baked goodies... Breakfast all day, nice! Lunch sounded good too... Hmmm toasty panini sandwiches- will have to try that next time, and the premium quality teas sounded good too- they mentioned you can get any of them iced- nice!....next time😁

This is one of the best kept secrets in Birmingham for coffee shops and food. I go here often for their spanakopita, its my favorite! You should also try the salads, veggie wrap, or pastries. Great service, too!

Fantastic coffee💫 I love this place very cozy and cute inside. The staff is very polite and nice. I love the coffee, I go everyday!😍

The Red Cat Coffeehouse was an awesome experience. My wife got the Hot Cinnamon and Vanilla Latte and I got the Iced Bengal Latte.

Love their coffee. They also have a great breakfast menu; my favorite being the ham and cheese croissant.Location is awesome and vibe inside are perfect for a downtown cafe.

I’ve been a few times and it has been good overall. Their service is good, selection is good, but the Esspresso was a little more stout/bold than I like. Don’t take the review negatively, but I’ve been to some really good shops. I will be back!

Russian Blue latte was DELICIOUS. Great owner and staff as well.

One of our favorite places in the entire city. Hands down the best coffee in Birmingham! Their Bengal latte is incredible and not too sweet. The chocolate cortado is a wonderful way to warm up when its cold outside. Their savory sandwiches are delicious, and their bakery sweets are great as well. The interior is warm and inviting, and there is normally plenty of room to sit. They have been a staple of our weekend for 3 years and one of our favorite stops on a morning out!

Oh, this place! Its my favorite. Their gluten free chocolate chip pumpkin muffin is delicious! I usually get a latte...the Havana Brown is my most favorite, but today I tried the White Chocolate Pumpkin latte and it was so tasty!! No strong pumpkin spice. Just right!

Great coffee and a chicken salad sandwich to die for! I will definitely be going back to this place!

Nice atmosphere

We look forward to the Peppers Farmers Market every summer in Birmingham! It wouldn’t be the same without a relaxing stop at The Red Cat Coffeehouse! Their coffee is some of the best in the city! Highly recommend!!

Awesome !

Gouda grits and a Colombian supremo French press and 2+hrs of peaceful home office!!! Wonderful place!

Great atmosphere and staff! Walked there for lunch today for the first time and it look a little longer then usual to get food and they gave me a free coffee drink for it 🤗 They seem to really care about their customers. I highly recommend the turkey and hummus wrap! It was to die for! We will defiantly be back!

Not very many cats. More of a The Business People Coffeehouse. Still good tho. Coffee wasnt burnt which is neat

Had a great dinner for my birthday.

Great coffee place and workspace in the Ham. Later in the day, an easy place to work and relax after a long day. Highly recommended, especially if youre frequenting the Pepper Place district

The saturday special crepes are amazing and the abyssinian is pretty good too. Our tiny 2 year old food critic loves the pop tarts.

Good drinks

Great place to study or unwind; however, everybody else knows this too. Can get quite busy on weekends and in the mornings. Also, this location closes at 5:00pm so no late evening studying.

We stop by here almost once a week, sometimes more. Its one of our go to coffee shops in the city center. There are several great local shops, but Red Cat is the most reasonably priced local coffee place. And its good! I am particularly fond of their pumpkin muffins as well, but there are plenty of breakfast options if that isnt your thing.

Nice atmosphere and delicious beverages! Id definitely go back!

A great place to get a quality cup of coffee. Wonderfully decorated interior and a good working or studying environment.

My favorite coffee shop in Birmingham. Everybody raves about the coffee, but I would like to take a moment out of your day and recommend the muffins. Awesome vibe, great folks. There is also a small farmer market literally across the street in select days. A great break from reality.

Comfortable place to meet or work. Tasty coffee, easy parking. Will visit again.

Nice little spot to have a meeting with a client.

Best coffee shops in Birmingham, both locations! Love the staff and owners!!! Their food is delicious, but best of all, the coffee (all of it) is amazing!!!

Love the salads and sandwiches. Surprisingly great menu for a coffee shop! Always fast and friendly.

Red cat is a staple while downtown. They have quality lunch items, good coffee, and friendly staff. Prices are affordable, drink selection is varied and always delicious!

Girt bowl was too salty!!

Great atmosphere. Great customer service. Most important, great coffee/roast.

Don’t recommend. Had a grilled-cheese sandwich to-go. The cheese still had the wrapper around it. Had to throw it away. Mentioned something when I picked up some coffee next time and got “oh really?” as an answer. Poor customer service and issues with food quality. Pass.

This is a great place to come for coffee, where to meet others, or just sit and read the paper... Great location great facility good service...I just talked myself into that extra star Im going to give him 5 instead of 4

Enjoyed our business meeting at the cafe last night. The coffee was great too.

THE RED CAT COFFEE HOUSEThe RED CAT is located at 2901 second avenue south in Birmingham, Alabama,next to PEPPER PLACE.It is a large space with high ceilings and a warm atmosphere. There are tablesfor large groups to meet and large soft leather couches. The coffee is excellent.They are open for breakfast and lunch. They have excellent deli sandwiches,panini sandwiches, hummus veggie wraps, and spanakopita. They also have multiplefruit smoothies, tea options, and signature lattes. They are open from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

The Abyssinian is hands down my favorite latte of all time. It is a cinnamony cup of comfort. If you have a chance dont miss their breakfast too. So fabulous

Love Red Cat! When I go I usually get the Havana Brown, its a great latte. Today I had the Italian crepe, it was awesome! I cant waot to try all the different flavors.

Nice place to catch up with friends and free WiFi if by yourself. Food is great, and coffee is too. The menu has a nice variety of things to offer.

Good breakfast, good coffees, pleasant enough preparers.....smoothies in Summer time are top notch.

Try their specialty lattes. The Burmese is like a coconut creme pie. Good bites. If you stop in during pepper place market, expect a line. Have also seen live music here. Makes for an intimate cool space to see musicans.

Overpriced and offensive - why are the lattes named after ethnicities? Bengal = caramel and chocolate? Ain’t nothing Bengali about that latte. 👋🏾Edit: Bengal is a geopolitical, cultural and historical region in South Asia. Also, the ingredients are a subtle hint at trying to be “cute” but it’s offensive. Chocolate for Bengal? White chocolate and almond for Persian? Coconut for Burmese? 🙄 please

This is my go to coffee shop. Love when they have music. some good local artists and they are the masters of a good cup O Joe. Staff is always friendly and always have a smile. Seems like they really enjoy working here, love this place.

A really nice place to get a coffee and chill. The staff are very friendly and the coffee is good. It can get quite busy anytime after 10 AM, which makes it pretty difficult to get work done. A definite place that you should check out if you are in Birmingham.

Really good coffee. This was my first time there and Ill def be back. Try the Burmese if you like coconut, you wont be disappointed.

There is a great study atmosphere and the staff is great! The shop roasts its own coffee as well. I wasnt completely in love with my drip coffee, but I am sure another blend would have hit the spot.

The coffee is SO good. And the ham and Swiss croissant is perfect! The atmosphere is laid back and relaxing. I love to go here to work on editing or homework.

Homemade poptarts was delicious and so was tea. Ive never eaten an omelette that Ive liked so I dont know why I ordered one but I am so happy I did. It was amazing.

Red Cat is pretty decent, I have gotten the batch brew at Pepper Place market many a Saturday. However, I went today, about 3:30 on a Friday, which is not a busy time of day. As I was looking at the menu and we were deciding what to order (had literally been there about 55 seconds) the guy behind the counter seemed very impatient. My husband was trying to ask about the tea options but we felt as if the guy was annoyed and wanted us to either order or move. In the meantime, a single person walked up behind us, so its not like we were holding up the line. Got a chocolate chip cookie, it was tasty. And the tea was good.

Great experience! Stopped for breakfast on a road trip. Wonderful coffee, friendly staff, and great food are what you find here! Very calming atmosphere.

The latte I had was pretty good, and so was the chicken panini. The atmosphere is really cool, it seems like a nice place to hang out. I wish there was an actual couch. Also, the iced coffee my girlfriend got was a bit lackluster. A good cold brewed option would be nice.

TRY THE CHEESE TOASTIE! Like seriously, it’s so good. Must pair with the tomato basil soup. Atmosphere is good. Such a nice place.

Very nice staff. Very good smoothies. Theres always a place to sit, which is becoming unusual for Bham (I never go after the Saturday farmers market that might be a different story).
