O'Henry's is my favorite local coffee shop in Birmingham. The Brookwood location is in a prime area as it is right off of Lakeshore Drive and close to I-65, Columbiana Road/Greensprings Hwy, and Highway 280. The coffee shop is very cozy and eclectic. There are three booths and a few tables downstairs. My favorite spot, however, is the loft upstairs, which is generally more quiet and can be reserved for group meetings.
I spent many of my days studying here while in law school at Cumberland and always make a point to stop by when I am visiting family and friends in Birmingham. My favorite is their A.P.B. smoothie and breakfast panini. I also love their various breads, cakes, and pastries -- you can't go wrong with their pumpkin bread.

Read moreQuiet, calm, smooth jazz music, polite staff. One of the most amazing coffee roasters in the state. Pricy, yet for the coffee connoisseurs it is a must if you are visiting Birmingham or if you live in the area. Symbolic of upper class, of fair trade, of ethical methods of doing business & how to build a reliable community relationship with consumers. Keep an eye out if they expand! They have all the right ✅️ mix for substantial growth! I wish more local restaurants would carry thier brand, it would be so lovely to see a new up & coming chain to pair with this incredible coffee.
Good night, I'm off to listen to Josephine Baker & imagine a nifty lil cocktail recipe with several amazing...
