Lucky Detroit Coffee Roasters & Espresso Birmingham

1. Today, I visited Lucky in Birmingham and was disappointed with the service. I ordered a two hot drinks, a cheese danish, and a croissant and specifically asked for the baked items to be warmed, but when it was handed to me, it wasn’t warm at all. At all. To make matters worse, the staff member who served me had a bit of an attitude, which made the experience less enjoyable. Although the hot drinks were nicely presented with decorative foam (thanks to a different staff member), I didn’t care for the flavor. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place and I will not visit again.

2. Came highly recommended. Hard to find, in a strip of stores, on the ground floor of a barber shop with no noticeable sign. Cool place, playing The Who (always a crowd pleaser), comfortable seating and tables, delicious scones (other baked goods looked tasty too), americano very good. Def would come back.

3. Located under the barbershop, this hole in the wall cafe is a nice place to relax with a cup of coffee. They have a small menu, but what they offer, including their good service, is worth the trip. I especially liked their house specialty vanilla bean latte (specialty lattes come with two shots, by the way). Stop by if you’re ever in Birmingham!

4. This is a cute little spot, perfect for hanging out, working, or studying. I love the chill vibe! It’s very clean and there are many comfortable areas to sit. The only thing I’ve noticed is, the past few times I have gone, the baristas seem to be rather dismissive and not very friendly. I understand it can be a stressful job, so I don’t think too much about it. They are doing a good job either way. Will probably keep coming here on occasion.

5. Just opened! I tried this location this morning and Sophianne was my barista. She was very personable and kind and offered many recommendations which I appreciated! I tried the raspberry danish, fruity pebbles macaron, and vanilla bourbon latte. The pastries were not stale at all, very tasty and the macaron especially was AMAZING. The latte was such a unique and textured flavor that I have a feeling I’ll be craving later. Worth a trip for sure!
