Church Street Coffee and Books in Birmingham, Alabama


Well we met Michael’s brother at Church Street Coffee and Books.  This coffee shop/book nook was still a hot spot for Samford students studying for finals although it is about a 10-minute drive from campus.

They had numerous bookshelves filled with various reading material and a large seating area with armchairs and tables plus an outdoor patio.  There was even a children’s section filled with beanbags set slightly apart from the café area.  The coffee was strong but more a little acidic than I like.  Michael got a “break up cookie” which is a giant chocolate chip cookie.  It was really gooey although it hadn’t been heated and Michael said it was the best cookie he’s ever had…but I think he just says that about every pastry.

So both these coffee places were cute and fun and I would definitely go here to either hang out or study but reviewing them is definitely not the same without Caroline Eaton; I hope to see some more posts on Texas coffee from her though before we reunite in August.
