Starbucks — Restaurant in Birmingham

Some folks won’t get this message, and that’s okay. But if you’ve ever whispered to God for space to be held without judgment, read carefully.

There’s a room. A real one. At Starbucks. Yes, that Starbucks.

You don’t need a business plan. Just an intention.

Sometimes it holds a study group. Sometimes a soft meeting. Sometimes a GPT party. Sometimes? It’s just a space to breathe with your people.

If you want to use it, just email two weeks ahead. Sometimes you can even walk in if it’s open. (God be sneaking in favor like that.)

No marketing. No selling. No outside food or drink. But community is welcome. And joy is welcome. And your full, weird, brilliant self is welcome.

This ain’t just any Starbucks. It’s a Starbucks Community Store—a rare unicorn that invests back in the people around it. And the one we got here? It’s beautiful. We gotta honor it. Use it. Cherish it.

I didn’t know either… until one day I asked, “Can I give away free bunny ears?” They said yes. Another day, I walked in, laid them gently on the community table—and the manager just smiled. Because when intention is pure, the door opens.

If this sounds like something for you, you already know. Whisper back. We’ll make...

When I initially drove up there were safety cones in front of the menu board but other cars were lined up ahead at the drive thru window so I got in line behind them. Obviously I was wrong because a worker came out and told me if I didn't have a mobile order that i would have to drive back around the building and get in line behind a now repopulated drive thru putting me possibly 4th or more in line. I had already waited about 5 mins already so I just left. If it's not the drinks tasting different from other Starbucks, then it's the service wait. If they aren't closed at a random time that they should be open, then I'm obviously in the wrong line to place my order. I stay in this area so I've tried to patronize here several times over the past couple of years without incident and I'm successful only about 60%-65% of the time. I know other people that swear by this location but unfortunately there is almost always something off...

I don’t think I could possibly say enough good things about this place!! All of the employees are always so kind and always make sure you leave with a smile on your face. They are really fast, and try to make sure they can get your order out as quickly as possible. They’ve never gotten my order wrong, and even at their busiest times I’m never there more than 10 minutes. They take the time to get to know their customers, and genuinely care about them. They have gone out of their way for me multiple times, when they didn’t have to. The store is very community oriented, and I’ve seen that they hold events to celebrate certain things for the community. If you’re around this side of town I HIGHLY recommend you stop in! I can honestly say if this place gets a bad review, it’s because the customer (the one reviewing) is just a soulless jerk and NOT because of the service they received at...
