Always a great choice to conduct a business meeting, or just relax with a great cup of local coffee! Nice indoor and outdoor seating with an appealing vintage look. I personally love coming here after a morning run on the infamous Lakeshore Trail! Stop by and try the common treats, or the well known Snickerdoodle!

Had a turtle frappé and a white chocolate mocha. They were both amazing. They have a ton of variety and probably have the best specialty coffee we’ve had so far. They also have seasonal items, breakfast & lunch, and a variety of pastries. We had the peanut butter chocolate cake and it was heavenly. They have a ton of seating including booths, a patio, and a loft area upstairs. The décor is vintage and most of it is for sale which adds to the uniqueness. They stay open a lot later than most coffee shops which is nice. If you’re looking for more of a «starbucks» type drink(but ten times better), this is the place for you.

A nice enough place. Good coffee and food. The only negatives about O’Henrys appears to be their ordering counter setup, at least this morning. They can only take one order at time. If you are getting coffee, while it is served to customers within a minute or two, most customers stood at the register awaiting their beverage. This tended to back the ordering line up quite a bit and multiple times. I would suggest the order taker ask people to please step over to the«serving» counter to await their beverages or their food. Also, I never saw anyone come out to clean a table nor chairs. The folks behind the counter chose to stand there talking the full 5 – 10 minutes which no one was at the ordering counter. No wonder I had to use a napkin to wipe my table off before I sat down to eat.

Good cappuccino. I like the atmosphere. Nice alternative to the major chain stores.

Sortive a wannabe Starbucks. I didn’t like the coffee or the egg on the bagel. The bagel was average.

Delicious coffee, fast and friendly service. It wasn’t a busy time of the morning, so there wasn’t any wait. Atmosphere is real cool. Legitness

Very crowded at 8:15 on a weekday with all tables taken. I got my latte and«power breakfast sandwich» to go. Coffee was excellent, sandwich was excellent. And to the jerk who said«Mind if I have my table back?», you can get bent. You don’t need a four top all to yourself.

I don’t frequent coffee shops because I find them all overpriced and overroasted. This place is the exception. Whenever I’m back in Alabama, I will be stopping in again. This place is quaint, quiet, not laden with the ear-shattering tunes of the hip Starbucks of the big city. Like Café Nervosa on hit TV show«Frasier», it’s the kind of place to enjoy a pastry and share conversation with your friends and loved ones. I had the cappuccino and a slice of the pie, the variety of which I can’t remember for the life of me as it was 6 months ago — it had peanut butter though. Regardless, yum! Perfect execution and the cake/pies are gorgeous and absolutely delicious. Not too rich, not too tame. I’d go out of my way to stop here even if I was just passing through. Also, props to the guy at the counter who was super patient with us as we were extremely indecisive.

Very cute place. I got a double iced espresso. Tasted burnt, as it typically does at most Starbucks. Very disappointing.

Great coffee selection — best in the city. I really enjoyed my lunch too. I had the Southwest Chicken Wrap.

Great coffee and atmosphere. I know it’s a chain, and I typically like to frequent small independent shops, but this place gets my vote(and my money). I recently visited Continental Bakery in Mountain Brook after reading great reviews and hearing about the fresh bread. The croissants were amazing but the service and coffee — atrocious. I will stick with O’Henry’s. The service is great and desserts are fabulous… they had me at pecan caramel brownie.

The place is very pretty. Great décor, and nice ambient. Although, it is loud! Service, drinks and food are just OK. Nothing striking over there. It’s a pity. This place could be a fantastic spot where to lounge and relax, but it turns to be a mediocre spot for the multitude of reasons. Coffee quality is ok. Pastries quality is ok. Sandwiches are not ok, very poor. Service is barely alright. None seems listening or caring so much about you. My gf literally had to repeat 5 «FIVE» times that our orders where«for here»! mah Our sandwich seated on the counter for 5 minutes before someone called our name for pick up. I won’t go back for the 4th time, but this place is OK. No bad, no good, just Alright

Since, it’s centrally located in between multiple«over the mountain» cities, it makes for a great meeting spot. Parking has never been an issue, unless it’s Christmas Eve or Black Friday, because it shares a massive parking area with Brookwood mall. No matter the time of day, there always seems to be a crowd at this location. They’ve battled this by having ample indoor and outdoor seating. So long as the weather is good, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a seat. Coffee and food wise, it’s just fine. I have no complaints at all. My coffee and bagel have always been served quick and have never given me a reason to complain.

I was working over by the Brookwood location so I decided to stop in for a coffee and maybe a small snack. I was surprised to find that they have a fairly substantial food menu. I got the Route 66 salad and it was big, fresh and tasty. The coffee was great as usual, and the staff was very nice. This place has much more«mom and pop» décor and feel than a Starbucks, but it still manages Starbucks-like prices. A pretty good combo if you ask me!

I love the Brookwood O’Henry’s location. It is slightly bigger than the original one in Homewood. It is off the busy road and it is not too noisy. Their loft is a great place to escape and read, or study if you can get a seat. They have the friendliest staff by far. Was in on a Sunday afternoon and Russell and Adam were to two gentlemen working. There were a few people ahead of me and because they acknowledged my presence I was okay waiting a few minutes. I ordered a Café Mocha and it was wonderful. It took a minute or two to make, but I would rather that then be quick and a sub-par product. They have a good lunch as well. They are efficient and it is always fresh. I would like to see more of a variety of fruit, maybe add some grapes with the strawberries and pineapple, but it is always tasty. Their patio seating on a nice day can not be beat. It is a great place to sit and enjoy the day.

Whether you’re hanging out with friends or meeting a client, this location is prime for people to get together — especially for those, like me, who are the worst parallel parkers in history. Welcome to a coffee shop with a parking lot, and even parking decks, if you don’t mind a short walk! And while O’Henry’s has never really struck me as a great place to study(because when I’ve been in it’s usually a bit crowded and there can be the loud-talkers) I do know several people who go there to study too and don’t seem to mind. There are lots of specialty coffee drinks to choose from as well, but I usually just have black coffee and enjoy the roasted blends that O’Henry’s provides, and I’ve always enjoyed it!

This is/was my favorite spot in the Ham, both for studying and meeting up with folks. The coffees are superb and the espresso drinks excellent. The baked goods could do with a make-over, but they aren’t terrible by any standards. There aren’t any couches or armchairs, but it is otherwise a really comfy place. Outlets are a bit difficult to come by when the place is busy and you may want to bring the extension if you have a Mac. However, it was easy for me to stay for hours here and take down multiple drinks. I wish I could find as sweet a spot in my new town. There’s a bit of a Christian-bent aspect to the place, but it’s subtle and non-intrusive if you have aversions/are sensitive to that sort of thing(which if you do, you may want to find a new town to live it).

Best place for a really good cup of coffee in Homewood. I spent a day working from O’Henry’s and had a peach muffin with coffee for breakfast and their famous chicken salad for lunch. The chicken salad has grapes and chopped walnuts and comes with saltine crackers on the side. Not bad! Only complaint– nowhere to plug in my laptop!
