Church Street Coffee Books

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.

The atmosphere was great. Books and nice chairs for reading while sipping coffee. Service was okay by high school students who learned to practice business skills. Coffee was subpar. More of a rendezvous point than a coffee lover's heaven.

The ambience is very nice here. Service was quick and friendly. Only been here once and had tea. The tea was well flavored. My companions also enjoyed their drinks.

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!

My chi latte was not good… I had them remake it but just was not for me. But it was a nice little place with a loft (great for studying). The staff was kind and place clean. I am looking forward to going again and trying something different.
