Seeds Coffee Co. - Homewood

Excellent coffee, 10/10. If you’re visiting the Birmingham area, this is the spot to try. Get the specials - we tried the blackberry jam latte with oat milk and honey cinnamon latte with macadamia milk. Delicious!

Although there are positives, it pains me to have to write this review because I know what this place is capable of doing. I lived in W. Homewood for years and made Seeds a fairly regular stop. Always consistent, fresh and delicious. I moved out of town for a year and recently moved back. I don't know what happened in the past year, but someone in the kitchen doesn't seem to be paying attention to the details. Positives: The drinks are very consistent, delicious, and well-crafted. And the vibe is cool with lots of seating options inside and out. Negatives: The food I'm most familiar with is the biscuit. It USED to be so good that I never saw the need to order anything else. Here's where they fell far short. In the last week, I've been twice. I order the scrambled egg, provolone and avocado biscuit each time. First time, not much flavor or cheese, and biscuit was just okay. I get that anyone can have a bad day so I decided to give it another try. However, today, it was worse -- no flavor (not even salt/pepper, something, anything!) and barely any cheese. But the biscuit was rock hard, (as if it were a day old), tepid, and altogether unappetizing. I was surprised this was even allowed to be served. To be clear, all the other food looks appetizing, but I haven't tried it. I hope whoever reads this takes my comments to heart and makes it better. I want to support a LOCAL coffee/breakfast spot.

Without a doubt, the best coffee shop in the entire city. Relaxing atmosphere, fresh made food, perfect coffee, friendly service. It’s an easy 5/5 for me. The biscuits are homemade but they are very large so be prepared for that. The sausage egg and cheese was awesome. The muffin was fluffy and delicious as well. We will be back when we are in the area again.

At 07:30 they werent ready to serve any dishes with potatoes. What left to try was ok. The cream for my plain brew was sour and I had to ask for a fresh cup of coffee. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating either solo or with a group.

Stopped on a road trip - great coffee ! A bit of a line but they cranked em out pretty good. Got an iced van latte, an iced mocha and egg+avocado toast. Lots of seating options inside and out and friendly staff. Loved seeing the barista use a scale for every espresso shot - I'm guessing you can trust a consistent cup here

When recommending locally-owned coffee shops to Bham visitors, this is always first on my list. First of all - highest quality coffee at all levels: from single origin espresso to fun seasonal drinks. The food menu keeps getting better and better too; pic below is my first experience of the breakfast burrito and once a month, get to chicken biscuit Saturday if you can, but get there early because they always sell out. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, and the best staff in town.

Serious coffee guy here. If you’re looking for third wave / speciality coffee in Bham, congrats—you’ve found it! In my view, Seeds offers the best specialty coffee in our area (other than my own kitchen! coffee nerds will know what I mean). As a top notch roaster, they’re offering fresh coffee from fresh beans, which provides the best flavor experience. These days, it’s crowded. If you’re hoping to stay and have a conversation, you might consider going at an off-peak time of day. The service is solid overall. It’s a fast-paced cafe environment, but the staff are usually nice and helpful.
