Great location across the street from Railroad Park. Veggie Wraps, Frappes and Spanakopita is good for takeout. Had them several times. In the mornings on Sunday they have sweet and savory crepes. I like the Pepper Place building better. A very clean facility. Home made pop tarts are so good. Today I had the salted caramel latte, smoked Gouda grits and chocolate chip cookies. Coffee quality is always top. Peach muffins and Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bars are delicious and are baked from scratch.

A little beautiful coffee place located across from the Railroad Park. Small but Cool menu with choices for all types of taste. The coffee and food were delicious.

Always enjoy coffee from here. Friendly staff and a calm atmosphere make this place even better. Definitely worth visiting.

Really good coffee, really BAD service! I visited Red Cat this morning at 7:40 am and it was moderately busy with about 10-12 customers. I ordered and paid at 7:44 am (two iced coffees and a breakfast burrito). I received my iced coffees at 7:57am and waited patiently for my burrito. With no check ins from the staff, I continued to wait but became anxious that maybe my burrito was forgotten about. I checked my payment to ensure I paid for a burrito and I did. Around 8:15, I asked a server about my order because I saw others that entered after me receive full orders. The server went to check and returned saying the cook was starting on my order next. That is outrageous to me that a food order was being started on 30 minutes after being ordered. I finally received my order at 8:30am, with no remorse or apology from the staff about the wait. I have visited this location several times and I’ve never experienced anything like this. The nonchalance from the staff was the most disappointing part of the entire experience.

Good coffee and good food. Like the location.

What a relaxing vibe this place has. Great staff and the Aztec Mocha and homemade Blueberry Pop Tart were delicious!

Always wanted to try it and I regret that I haven’t stopped by before now. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. The energy and the vibes are all there ! Nice place to sit and clear your mind. I tried the spinach mango and banana smoothie. I will most definitely be back on the regular. I’ll be back to get breakfast as well.

Great location across the street from park. Menu variety offers plenty of options but lacks housemaid syrups or truly handcrafted drinks

One of my favorite stops in Birmingham. Excellent coffee specialties and tasty, (mostly) healthy options for breakfast and lunch.

Nice tea collection

Great place with amazing food and beverage. At this specific location crepes are only sold on Sunday while pepper place location only sells them on Saturday. To get the crepes its best to come an hour early or so at this location

Enjoyed a Sunday brunch of crepes and lattes.Most Excellent!

Lattes were excellent and their breakfast bowl was on point.

Nice place to stop in after hanging out at Railroad Park. Just across the street. Lots of latte options that are unique along with your typical coffee options. Enjoyed my latte with Irish creme and hazelnut. Quick service too.

The Abyssinian is always good here. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere friendly customer service very chill and relaxing place great fresh baked cookies brownies and even pop tarts

Great customer service, love Moroccan mint tea.

Great location.Coffee was good as well as the service.Located across from the park. Definitely a college hot spot.

Great cat themed lattes. Great place to spend the afternoon working. Just need a resident feline to complete the ambiance!

Nice little place downtown to grab some coffee and a snack. Friendly staff with a chill vibe. Love the outdoor seating and right across from railroad park so you can grab your drink and enjoy some fresh air. They even set out a water bowl for your furry friends to tag along! Always enjoy my time here!

Never seen a breakfast place where their kitchen “is closed” at 0700 more than it is open

Cute little coffee shop right beside Railroad Park. The staff were super friendly, I got my coffee pretty quick, and it was delicious.

Very busy place which is commendable. Food was good but seems premade or prepped and not fresh. I ordered 2 coffees, one medium and one large. They gave me 2 mediums. I asked and the young lady but she assured me that it was a large even though the cups were the same size. I didnt argue but this has happened to me before at this location.My advice is to double check your order and be very specific with the details. They couldnt get a large black coffee to go correct. Just saying.

Great afternoon (anytime) coffee place! Baristas are friendly & knowledgeable! Swing by when in downtown BHM!!

This is my new favorite spot to do my remote work.The coffee is always great, and there is a wide variety of food options. Also, the smoothies are phenomenal. Everyone who works here is really great, but Andres is my favorite because he remembers my name. (:

Great coffee shop Mauser approves. I highly recommend a stop.

While the employees were nice, the iced latte that I purchased didnt taste great as the espresso seemed watery, lacked a good flavor and the Monin syrups never taste very good. The wait time for the drink to be prepared was fairly long too.

Low key nice vibe

I had a tasty iced mocha

Best lattes in Birmingham. Possibly the East Coast. Just the right amount of sweetness great coffee flavor. They serve breakfast all day and have great nibbles.

Hard to find seating but very nice otherwise! A lot of tea options!

Quick service and friendly staff! They serve breakfast all day: I recommend their crissoant sandwiches, perfectly buttery and flakey.

I love the menu cats

Liked the environment. The staff was nice and knowledgeable of the coffee. The coffee is roasted in house and is exceptional. In addition, the prices were very reasonable. I havent tried the espresso there, but its well priced and having discussed the type of beans with the employees, it seems to me like the espresso would be much better than much anywhere else.Edit: I just had the espresso and it was absolutely brilliant. Staff is super nice. 10/10 will return. Cant speak for the pastries or whatever snacks they have though.

Great service, terrible coffee. Half dependent on the barista, but half just bad training/product. My most recent visit, I ordered a chai with an add shot. The flavor is non-existent. I found a literal coffee bean in my drink. It tasted like milk with a sprinkling of cinnamon. I got a chai another time, and it was somewhat better, but not great. Not worth spinning the roulette, go somewhere else and then bring your coffee to the park.

Coffee and food were excellent. With large portions, very satisfying brunch. Outdoor seating with great views of an active community, conveniently located across from railroad park. Overall excellent!

Good lil coffee spot near the Amtrak station

Never had Red Cat until today (weird since we live downtown..) buttttt wow it was so good. Got the mocha frappe. SO GOOD. Less sweet / more coffee taste than other coffee places. Definitely my new favorite!!

Went in for the first time looking for a decaf Peppermint Mocha. The first attempt was not successful so they remade the drink. Environment was nice and it has a good location near the railroad park. Not sure I will stop here next time in Birmingham.

The cafe has a nice vibe to it; great place to get some work done. There was smooth jazz playing in the background. The staff is friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced.It got to be uncomfortable because the AC was on really high. It was 54 degrees outside and the temperature inside had to be around 60. I had my jacket and gloves on most of my time there and had to leave because my hands and feet were freezing.

Staff were great and the drinks were fantastic.

Really great store with a great staff. Deserves alot of support. Very nice people and coffee also a great place to do work.

My favorite smoothie/coffee stop! Staff is the best!

Smaller version of my favorite coffee shop in town, Red Cat at Pepper Place. Conveniently located right beside Railroad Park, it is a nice place to grab a cup of coffee and a pastry. There is seating inside, but get your coffee to go so you can enjoy the park!

Great place. Atmosphere is clean.

Red cat is a nice place with a chill atmosphere. Great place to study or just catch up with a friend. The drinks are great and I also enjoy some of the food options. Definitely worth a visit if youre nearby.

Will likely just attend Pepper Place Red Cat instead. A chicken salad sandwich took 30 minutes to come out on a not so busy day. The cooked bread was rather cold and they weren’t super apologetic about the delay. However, they do serve great drinks and sandwiches.

Coffee is good. I love the location.

Decent food. Limited menu for food. Coffee was good.

This is my new favorite coffee shop plus the food is good

We tried the Hibiscus and Honeybush iced teas. Both were good. My husband got the salami and pickle sandwich, which was delicious. I made the mistake of getting the mozzarella and basil sandwich, which was basically all melted mozzarella and two measly bits of tomato and basil. Won’t be getting that again if I come back. They’re a bit overpriced, IMO. I’ll give this place another shot sometime this summer and hopefully be more impressed.

This place gets a fifth star for essentially being the best cafe/coffee shop in Birmingham. I visited a number of them during my trip and this was the only local one that managed to have good drip coffee. Their espresso drinks were also good - and I appreciated the unique flavor combinations. On top of that they have great food - the breakfast biscuit was delicious as was the spanakopita. The space is really also open and you can hang out and have a conversation. Its right by the park too so you can visit it after.

Their service was extraordinary and the food was wonderful.

Red Cat has always been one of my favorite places to go. And with this new location, its hard for me to not be there. It has such a fun vibe, all while being unique to their first location.Their coffees and smoothies will definitely have you addicted, and their menu is so tasty and different. They serve breakfast all day and crepes on the weekend.But the best part of Red Cat, still, is how amazing the people are. They are not pretentious or rude and actually love seeing you come in. Its rare to see people working in an environment like this and still be joyful. You wont leave here unhappy. So go.

This is my favorite coffee shop that I’ve found since moving to Birmingham. The Bengal Latte is my favorite. I love coming here for coffee and taking a walk in the park after.

Great spot to grab a coffee for a walk in the park. They offer wifi for people with laptops too.

Consistancy between locations is great! Went there mid-afternoon Saturday, walked actually, and was surprised at the crowd. The location is great, right near the Railroad Park pavillion. Coffee was great, as expected!

A little on the pricy side but overall an amazing, quiet atmosphere that was very welcoming. The staff was very helpful and patient when it comes to figuring out what you may or may not like. Will definitely be returning again and again.

The employees are helpful. The best Americano around. Great place to sit and enjoy your coffee.

My husband and I decided to patronize this business one afternoon after walking in the park across the street. The cashier was not friendly at all, she only greeted us after we spoke to her. I ordered a strawberry/mango smoothie but got a mango smoothie. My husband asked for water and purchased a peanut butter brownie. The cashier never got the water, therefore we had to ask for it again. We do not plan on ever patronizing this cafe again. It’s sad that when you walk into a building you can sense racism.

I came here with a group when our meeting location was unexpectedly canceled. The atmosphere was creative and the drinks were delicious. Cashier was very kind and accommodating.

Great coffee shop! They have heavy cream and sugar free syrups, so great for people watching their carb intake! Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Chocolate powder readily available. My friend had one of their signature lattes and she said it was great!

Great selection of coffees and I loved the zucchini bread. Really upbeat with a bohemian ambiance. Across the street from Railroad Park

Very nice! Extensive coffee selections. Great baked goods; that brownie & iced zucchini bread, oh my!

Best smoothies in town! Relaxing modern coffee shop feel with pasrties and food available. Close by Regions field and Railroad park.

The coffee is always really good. If you are wanting to go to a place with great customer service, I would not recommend going here. The staff is not too friendly.

A feel-at-home friendly beanery with an urban vibe & a view! You can kick back, relax, and sip down a few shots of your preferred java while taking in the scenery of Railroad Park just across the street - or grab & go for a stroll yourself. Also, the coffee isnt the only great thing on the menu. They offer some delectable snacks, soups, and sandwiches as well.

Small coffeeshop vibe with outstanding drinks, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and an outstanding location directly across from the park.

This location is smaller and less cozy than the Pepper Place location, but the customer service is equally good. The superfood smoothie is excellent, as are the flavored lattes. The espresso is not palatable alone, which is why I take one star off. But the pumpkin-chocolate-chip muffins are absolutely my favorite muffin ever.

Always delicious, but my friend and I always seem to have a bad experience here. We waited a good 30 minutes for our two coffees. Understandably, it was busy. But then, the barista informed us that they were making the easier (Black) coffees first. I work in food industry, and making someone wait longer who got there first is unacceptable.

Red Cat is a full service coffee shop. Coffee drinks, fresh breakfast items, fresh lunch items, wi-fi, and a calm environment. Its everything you could want from a coffee shop. I find myself coming here very often for their Bengal Latte (dark chocolate and caramel.) - You can get their lattes hot, over ice, or in a blended frappuccino. Ive recently discovered that their lunch paninis are also quite good, and at a very reasonable price. Definitely recommend this location, especially if you work downtown.

Red cat serves the best coffees and smoothies around. Service is great location is great. Come here almost every day. Not going back to Starbucks!

I really like cute coffee shops like this. They have great coffee without the air of pretentiousness 😅

Great atmosphere and super close to Railroad Park. Ordered a latte and they even do that thing where they make flowers out of the latte foam. Great place to do homework or get other work done. Super chill environment.

Super awesome coffee house to eat very contemporary down to earth👍😊

I always enjoy Red Cat everytime I go! The pastries are great and you have to come by on a weekend to try the crepes.

Been a regular here for 3 years! Excellent lattes and breakfast selection!

Great coffee! Food looked and smelled good.

Best coffee in Birmingham

Been here many times. Expect to wait forever. Food is half decent. Location is nice. But theres no reasonable excuse for it to take 25 minutes to make a ham, egg and cheese crepe.

Good quality for the price and location has plenty of parking options.

Love this place! Amazing location, good coffee, great atmosphere. Highly recommend the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!

My wife said this was the best coffee she ever had. The peach muffins are delicious and the staff is friendly.

Very nice atmosphere. Food was good as well as the service.

Great place, but the parking here can be god-awful on certain days. Like absolutely terrible.

Super cute and cozy! The essence of southern hospitality and great coffee.

Great as a study spot or a place to grab a snack and drink before relaxing in the park

Great food, great service!! Pleasant atmosphere and super nice employees! Will be coming back.

Great place for studying and hanging out with friends across railroad park . I recommend trying the signature or specials.

Generic coffee shop, but overall decent vibe. Cute touches with the kitten figurines perched throughout.

Neat coffee shop. They had a chocolate Gibraltar on the menu. Plus a delicious gluten free pumpkin muffin.

Nice quiet place to work. Good coffee and pastries but pricey.

So freaking good.

Good coffee! Awesome omelette!

Nice coffee joint and nice location. Will continue to return when in the area

Coffe

Great coffee and staff. Really the only detriment to this location is seating. There are very few tables, if you plan to sit down rather than grabbing something to go, keep that in mind.

This place is amazing ! Good coffee, not expensive, great folks. Really Really awesome.

Got the Parisian latte, it was not good, very rough. Place was cute though.

Great coffee, wonderful owner and staff cozy chairs if you can get one and right across from Railroad park. Could use some healthier snacks
