Domestique Coffee – Dawn Patrol (Homewood, AL)

1. What a lovely little place to grab a coffee. The barista was so friendly and info and PATIENT (lol) to my millions of questions. Very skilled. My latte was made beautifully and the coffee was exceptional. Housemade syrups and chai. They have been open for over 2 years. Their coffee is all medium roast, though their Haitian tends to be more on the medium-dark roast side. The cafe is located in the same building as Cahaba Cycles and it is quite the unique experience to drink your coffee in a bike shop, though I sat outside. Lovely area outside with brightly colored tables and a calm chill atmosphere. They roast the beans themselves in Lakeview. For espresso, they’ve got their Wavelength blend, which is made up of Ethiopian and Dominican coffee blends. I ordered the Hocus Pocus latte.

2. Verified today that the best cappuccino in town is at Domestique. That combination of the perfect level of bitterness with just the right creamy texture to balance it is exactly what I wanted. We were bummed when Panache in Southside closed and have tried a bunch of other coffee shops looking for that perfect cup. There are a ton of great coffee shops in BHM but none quite hit the spot till we found Domestique Dawn Patrol in Homewood, inside Cahaba Cycle. Service was great, and there’s a nice outdoor patio along with some indoor seating. Very chill vibe and super friendly, helpful staff. Very good pastries too. We’ll definitely be frequent visitors.

3. Love, love, love domestique and all of their locations! My love started at Panache in 5 points it has such a cool artsy vibe & Saturn is always an iconic place to get a coffee and play a cute game. Dawn patrol is my home base for coffee and it is amazing love the staff and it is such a convenient location with plenty of parking 🫶🏻

4. Great coffee but best avocado toast in Birmingham. If you heard “good” avocado toast; you heard wrong. It Is The Best. I crave it; I struggle to pass the store as I ride by; I spend hours trying to replicate it at my house – to no avail. If avocado toast is your jam, and you haven’t ordered it here, I’m disappointed in you. Go now.

5. Domestique coffee is a must if you’re in Birmingham. Locally roasted by two amazing brothers that know exactly what they are doing! The staff are artist with a perfect pour every time and Dawn Patrol has a great patio to sit and sip and my fur baby is always welcome.
