Honest Coffee Roasters & Açaí Cafe

1. Friendly staff, nice chill cafe vibes. Plenty of seating on a Friday afternoon. Americano was 7/10, good, but nothing to write home about. Matcha latte 3/10, very little matcha—mostly milk. Acai bowl was overpriced ($10 for what’s in the photo) and honestly underwhelming (esp as acai is in the store name). The acai itself was too frozen to eat with a spoon, the fruit and granola were tasty though. Sandwich was also mid, 6/10 also way overpriced. Best part was the jam. Would have preferred a McDonald’s McMuffin to be honest.
   Wouldn’t come back for the food, but maybe I’d try the coffee again? Avoid the matcha latte.

2. Their iced strawberry macha is AMAZING! Its so hard to find in the fall since some places only do it in the spring! I really hope it stays on the menu year around! I got coffee last time I came here and loved their coffee also!! I will definitely be back! Another plus is that they have an app so you can order ahead!

3. Best Coffee “taste” in Birmingham. Staff is just not very professional in how they dress or speak. I guest one can say they are being “honest” hahaha. Yea but they are quite rude.

4. Excellent coffee shop. Great vibe. Very peaceful and they make tasty coffee drinks.

   Our barista, Alex, did a great job and had the perfect Sunday morning coffee shop energy.

5. The coffee and atmosphere is amazing. I could tell they were understaffed when I came, yet both of the staff members were the sweetest and kept apologizing for the wait on our açaí bowl. I got an iced oat milk latte with cinnamon and honey (The Roosevelt) and it was one of the best lattes I have ever had!!!!! However, our bowl we received was not very good. The base was completely frozen and we could not get through it. Additionally, the bananas were so unripe that they were crunchy and had no flavor to them. This has nothing to do with the staff working as they were both so sweet and kind and made sure me and my girlfriend were taken care of, but I feel as though the açaí bowl should have been better due to the price. I adore this location and the coffee, but I would probably not try any açaí bowls from them again.
