Everybody who worked today from open to close was sooooo amazing! They made it such a comfortable and enjoyable Christmas Eve for everyone that came through! Trevor and Alex are complete coffee sommeliers/scientists or something! 🤣 In my featured photos, those cups are Trevor’s amazing artwork! Definitely a team full of rockstars over at Prevail. I think y’all should do a Hall of Fame walk with pictures of the team! That’d be super cool and show a lot of love to the people that bring the love at this location in Downtown. They handled a busy day so gracefully and were beyond kind, patient, respectful and caring. Support local coffee and business if you have a chance by visiting Prevail! It’s a hidden gem that deserves much more love and appreciation. All my gratitude for everyone who showed up today and sacrificed their personal time to be here for the community. It means a lot! Hope they get raises or bonuses or something 🫶🏾

Just had a chance to stop by this amazing coffee shop after church. Fresh baked pastries and espresso coffee drinks for the after church win. Service was fast and gracious, the plush chairs and sofas are really comfortable, and plenty of additional table seating. If you have some free time stop by here and grab a coffee and a pastry. And if your here in the afternoon, they have draft beer, wine, and canned alcoholic drinks for those who want to go a different route from coffee.

Cozy coffee shop with trendy vibes. The latte is nice and foamy, the pastry tastes great, but you have to warm it yourself using their microwave oven. The pizza is huge with generous toppings but the dough is weird.

First time here, and I gotta say this is one of the nicer coffee shops I’ve been to. They have a super chill vibe perfect for reading a book, meeting with clients, or just hanging out for the afternoon. The beverage choices are vast and delicious! I had a chai latte that was PERFECT. Also the snack and food options are top notch, and I highly recommend the French toast with berries. They also have a really cozy outdoor area that is perfectly shaded and tucked away, great for getting away from the buzz of a busy city. Parking is not bad, but expect to paypark if you want a spot on the street (like most of downtown mgm). Not bad though, use the app and save some time. Super cool spot! Will be back!

Typical coffee house with a warm and welcoming vibe. Not the best if you are looking for candy in a cup coffee, but wonderful if you are a traditional coffee fan with a slight flavor.

The place is nice and quiet, so you can go there just to have a coffee, read a book, or work on your laptop. I ordered a matcha latte, and the flavor wasn't extraordinary. My husband ordered a cappuccino, which he said was delicious but had a strong flavor, so if you like that, you're sure to love it.

World class location. Break out your comfort zone and try something new my wife absolutely love the macadamia milk, but you can also try pistachio milk. I can see why it’s rated in the top coffee shops of the world.

Nice little coffee shop. They use quality beans and I love that they make their own syrups. It has a good atmosphere and decent merch. My only knock is the community restrooms that are down some dirty sketch stairs. Not the coffee shops fault but it’s still part of the experience.

Prevail was the prefect choice for a night time coffee craving. Located in a cute and artistic area of downtown Montgomery Prevail is a nice spot for work and play. As we entered there was plenty of seating and light conversation between patrons and baristas. I like how they partner and showcase local bakers and sellers as well as having live jazz nights on Thursdays. I got a cappuccino (only 8oz available) with honey vanilla. It had that classic cappuccino flavor without being overly sweet. They also had some interesting options on the menu with various combinations and barista favorites. Can't wait to come back for a jazz night and more coffee delights.

Walk inside this trendy coffee shop and you'll learn they are the 17th best coffee shop in the country. It's oddly specific, but well deserved. My pumpkin spiced latte was great. A friend ordered their Chider (chai and apple cider) and also loved it. The space is large with plenty of seating inside and old. In the back is a large mural of legend Valda.

Great downtown location and a wonderful addition to the city. When I come back to visit friends, I always have to stop by Prevail and take some beans back home with me. I've always enjoyed an iced latte and the roasted beans make a great cup o' joe. Friendly staff, clean and open space, and plenty of seating.

Amazing atmosphere as we were driving through and looking for a a coffee shop. Would have given 5 stars but ordered a latte and I felt like I was drinking literally steamed/froth milk with a touch of espresso. Wasn't sure if the recipe was off or that how they do it but it is a nice shop in the heart of the city.

Beautiful place, great vibes and great people. I cannot recommend it enough. Chill atmosphere, classy people and friendly, helpful staff. I thought I wanted a stinger but didn't realize it was an iced drink. They made me a hot version and it was spot on. I'll definitely be coming back.

I can't say enough good things about this craft coffee shop. It's local to Alabama, and it has expanded to Atlanta. It was bookmarked immediately as a place I needed to visit when in MGM. It certainly turned out to be the best coffee shop experience of the entire trip. I must warn you that it gets super busy early in the morning. There are many military personnel that go through this shop. That's always a great sign as they are very well traveled and know their coffee. Our favorite time to visit was around 2pm when it wasn't so busy. The service is great, and the baristas are professional & friendly. I can't comment on any of the pastries because we were strictly there for the coffee. The coffee was amazing! On the first visit, I decided to get their signature Alabama Stinger (iced) with macadamia milk. They have other plant-based milk options such as oat and Myracle mylk. I was given a sample of the macadamia milk, and was hooked on it the entire trip. I was definitely buzzing with the Stinger's shaken blend of Miller Farms Alabama Honey and a double shot of espresso. You can get a quad shot for $1 more. Well, I didn't think it could get better than that until the next day. I decided to try their other signature drink called the HVR. I never thought I would like raspberry in coffee. This was another amazing flavor. They make their own syrups. What more can I say? My brother loved his hot latte. So much so, that we made this our daily afternoon stop to energize and talk about our day. Listen!!! I'm a true coffee lover. I seek out local coffee shops any time I'm traveling. I walked past Starbucks on Coosa Street and passed Market Plaza every morning from my hotel just to get to this place. It was initially difficult to find as a tourist, but I figured out the quickest way was to go through the old Kress Building (from Monroe St.). It's a lovely indoor walk with some public art and work spaces. There's an entrance to the coffee shop from inside that building. There's also an entrance from Dexter Ave. The coffee shop is warm, comfortable, and inviting. It's very tastefully decorated with lots of wood. It sits there overlooking a beautiful public art mural of Dr. Valda Harris Montgomery at Lower Dexter Park. It's the perfect spot to chill at a table in the park. Don't miss this hidden gem if you're ever in Downtown Montgomery.

Walked 30 ft to the coffee shop from the car.. got harassed by two homeless people. Went inside and ordered. The blonde cashier barely gave me the time of day, didn't try to say one word to me and I was plenty polite. Then the iPad asks for a tip. You don't get a tip acting like that. The cold brew was okay, could have asked if I wanted more milk since I ordered it without any sugar.

Normally, pastries seem, frozen and warmed to service. NOT HERE!! The strawberry loaf, the blueberry muffin, the apple cinnamon scone-- FRESH. So so delicious. I had the HVR and it didn't disappoint. I wish it had been a bit stronger in the espresso department, but delicious and satisfying nonetheless.

Today was my first time "experiencing" Prevail Union and it was beyond wonderful! Alex is amazing, very personable and knowledgeable, friendly but professional and made me feel like a friend, not just a nameless customer! And Will was also great, although he's a little "quieter" than Alex, but just as professional. Their attention to each customer's needs, requests, and questions were excellent! And the cappuccino and iced latte were some of the best I've ever tasted! (My husband got black coffee and thoroughly enjoyed it! Then he finished my latte and had to buy me another one to take with us! Lol!) This is a great place with great people, atmosphere, and coffees! I challenge everyone who goes to the "chain coffee shop" to try Prevail Union. You won't be disappointed and I'll bet most will go here exclusively! I know I shall!!! Thank you Alex and Will for being the BEST!

Have you ever been to a bougie coffee shop? Ok perfect, so picture that, but with really stellar coffee and pastries. Nestled in Downtown Montgomery, this large, airy space adjoins a small park, affording customers quiet outdoor seating and relaxation. The space is clean and inviting, with bar seating, high and low tops, as well as a few comfortable armchairs for the dedicated lounger. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. This place is really popular with the military folks from Maxwell AFB, but even when it's crowded the staff moves quickly though the orders. Drinks are amazing. I'm still working my way through the menu but the problem is that I LOVE the Alabama Stinger so much that I can't move past it. Anyways, come here for coffee. 13/10 would recommend!

Love the downtown location on Dexter off the square. The historical renovations being done in the building and area are wonderful. Our coffees were great and baristas very friendly on our Sunday morning visit.

Back to Alabama again! And had to stop by THE best coffee for miles and miles of Montgomery. Nothing else comes close! I ordered one of their current specialty lattes, the HVR, or honey vanilla raspberry latte. I'll admit, I was skeptical on whether it would come out too sweet and be overwhelming with flavor, but it was perfect! Temperature was just right too. I sat outside on their patio on a perfect 70 degree day, which has a ton of space and seating for everyone. I'll be back to this again, and I'll for sure be coming here another time!

I'm honestly surprised this place has such good reviews. I will say the ambiance is nice, but the matcha was terrible. It was barely shaken and it was bitter compared to other matcha I've had. It's weird because I usually like when my matcha is bitter, but it just wasn't even mixed so I was sipping chunks of matcha through my straw. Next time I'll try the coffee and maybe I'll change my review, as it seems they are highly rated for coffee.

Tried several of their beverages especially ones off their employees choice board and was very happy with everything! Love the outdoor seating area for the vibe but the inside was also very comfortable. Wish I was in town longer to try everything!

We returned almost everyday! I think this is the only local coffee shop in the area. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved the refreshing coffee drink with soda (sorry I forgot the name) and the matcha drinks were delicious! I bought coffee beans for the hubby as souvenirs. We got the one with a hint of peanut butter and another with chocolate notes. Lots of seating and lounging area! Had to venture a bit to find the restrooms. Overall, highly recommend.

Quaint little place with excellent customer service and a vast menu of options. The decor is amazing and comfy inside with outside seating that is dog friendly in a courtyard outside. Coffees and teas, sparkling water, and some take home options, all with a smile.

A nicely designed, beautifully located, Starbucks quality coffee. I enjoyed the presence of being here, the music was lovely and the decor was paired well to sit and relax with a cup of Joe. The coffee was not my main draw and it was just okay. It was to me Starbucks, which depending on how you feel can be good or bad (though I frequent them often). Despite this, the place is well worth the stop and to just relax. Also if in the mood, you can also have a beer or wine instead of coffee; a nice touch. The service wasn't blazing fast nor painstakingly slow, the barista calls out your drink when it is ready for pickup which can possibly lead to the wrong order being taken by haphazard listeners but this isn't an issue when business is lite. One odd add, they don't warm your pastries for you and direct towards a microwave in the corner. This can also be good or bad, but I didnt try a pastry this time and I am known to burn water. Maybe during my next stop.

Fantastic coffee! Best in Montgomery by far! I have visited as least once a week if not more since the start of my time here! Friendly staff, great place to study or get some work done. Very cozy vibe and plenty of seating outdoors and indoors at a great historical location downtown that's easy to locate. There isn't a thing I'd change about Prevail!

Super expensive for a bland taste. My husband got the honey vanilla lavender latte and could only taste lavender. No other flavors. The service wasn't anything too special either.

Such a quaint coffee shop with fast service and great drinks. I had the HVR latte with oat milk - it was very good. The flavors of the honey, vanilla and raspberry blended well together. It was a little on the sweeter side so if you are a latte purist, you will not like this. The service was great and the prices were reasonable IMO. The shop itself has plenty of seating options and some great products for sale.

Nice place! Friendly lady helped us out. Went for coffee off the Yelp reviews. Three of us got an Americano, drip black and a latte. All very sweet with no sweetener. Was weird, and didn't go back the next day. Had a few sandwiches and a muffin. All ok. Tasted like they do everywhere around there. I guess they come from the same supplier. In the end very average compared to the reviews. Likely go back for coffee should I be in the vicinity.

My three positives and a negative because the world needs more positivity: + what a cute place. It looked like a movie set + clearly locals love the place because there were a number of folks who looked like they came here often + hubby liked his brewed coffee- said it had a good flavor - neither my nor hubby's coffees were hot. Hubby allowed that his was the end of the pot. Mine was a latte which took quite some time. It was warm- no where close to hot. After waiting 15 minutes I was surprised and disappointed

COFFEE. The barista named Marie Louise made me the BEST oat cap. Hannah was manager on duty and she was very kind. Great customer service. Perfect aesthetic, especially on a rainy day. And the pastries are delicious. I believe they are made local. You should definitely diss Starbucks and stop here on your way to your next destination. PS - you should also grab some of the chocolate bars here, Askinosie. I love a square with my espresso at home in the mornings.

Super cute coffee shop! We ordered a caramel latte and iced pour over. Both were good and reasonably priced. This is located in a cute downtown area of Montgomery close to the Rosa Parks statue and a large fountain. The shop also opens up into an adorable courtyard with benches, flowers and a cool mural.

Such a cozy little coffee place! Not a lot of seating options but I'm guessing that's due to covid. I ordered an americano with a pump of hazelnut and splash of almond milk and let me tell you, this is the best Americano I've had in a while! I can't exactly tell you what makes their coffee so dang good but it just is! The richness, the flavor. Extra hot, perfect for the cold and rainy weather. Wish we weren't just passing through. Definitely would come back to Prevail when we're in the area.

Came in for a couple of coffees this morning. This is a cute little coffee shop just down the road from the Capitol Building, this place is hip, attractive, cozy, and comfortable. Offerings consist mostly of coffees and teas, but there are a couple of pastries available if that suits your fancy. Looks like they sell wine and beer here in the evening -- I'd guess live music happens from time to time, too! The interior is really beautifully decorated, with a very instagrammable wall to boot. I'm not really a coffee drinker, but my parents are, and they said their plain coffees were delicious. They had something they called a Chaider on special: masala chai with apple cider and cinnamon. I ordered that, and it was yummy. Just a touch to heavy on the cinnamon for me, but still really tasty and served at the perfect temperature. If you're in need of a coffee fix or a place to chill in downtown Montgomery, this seems like a great option.

I've stopped by this cafe a couple times and realized I haven't reviewed it yet. When you first enter, you feel this relaxed, calm vibe that you don't get at every cafe out there. The staff has always been attentive and served up great drinks. I've visited with others and they to have enjoyed their drinks. The pastries are delicious as well. I really liked the feta and spinach one, yum! There's another small location in Maxwell Air Base which does not disappoint either!
