The Alabama Biscuit Co., Cahaba Heights

A modern, refreshing take on a southern classic. We enjoyed the biscuit and gravy with a side of over easy eggs. We also tried the goat cheese, pecan and honey biscuit, and the strawberry bis-cake. The biscuits are made of spelt flour which gives a nice savory flavor that contrasts any sweetness of the toppings. My over easy eggs were garnished with fresh herbs which gave a light and refreshing taste. I enjoyed everything with their cold brew, which was strong but not too overpowering. The shop itself is a calm, relaxing atmosphere and the staff were pleasant and helpful. Overall, we loved our visit, and I hope everyone comes out to support this local biscuit spot!

Everything we ordered here was good: lattes, buscuits, grits, eggs and jellies. Be sure to look for their specials each day. The only thing we didn't love was the limited seating. Might be time to expand! And get a baby changing table please!

I wanted this to be good, but it was far from it. Biscuits and gravy had maybe three pieces of sausage bits, gravy was gritty, and biscuit was very burned. Employees delivered food to your table, but then told you where you could get up and get your own fork. Unfortunately I will never come back after today’s visit.

everything was fabulous! the service was quick and the biscuits were some of the best i’ve ever had. we also got two iced coffees that started our day off right!

It’s just a very middle of the road experience. Everything was ok. It is vastly overpriced for the biscuit even with the ingredients used being of higher quality. I don’t go out of your way to come here, unless you’re in the hunt for some coffee

Loved all the varieties of biscuits and the fresh to cook of them all. Their coffees were even great and a couple of different blends that were great hot or cold. Small quaint local business so go support local!!

Stopped into the Alabama Biscuit Co. to enjoy some breakfast and coffee and was not disappointed. I enjoyed the Croque Madame with a vanilla latte and my daughter had the Conecuh Grits and a bottled Coca-Cola. We were both highly satisfied and will be coming back again soon. Highly recommend this place for quality breakfast and coffee.

The conecuh grits bowl was phenomenal and the atmosphere is lovely. I love when places have self serve water as well. Was such a cozy stop for our weekly breakfast date!

Wow! Compliments to the chef for these interesting creations! Definitely some of the best breakfast around. Every component our meal was delicious. The touch of herbs on each make a huge difference. Will surely be back during my work travel here.

A must-try spot in Birmingham! We shared the cheese grits, biscuit with apple butter, and the Madame Biscuit Sandwich. We also enjoyed a blueberry latte and a maple butter latte. Everything was satisfying and filling. I'm not a fan of overly greasy food in the morning, it leaves me feeling heavy and bloated--but that wasn't the case here. The food is nourishing and delicious. The lattes are made with house-made flavorings, and I can't stop thinking about the blueberry latte I had here. The farmhouse-style interior is comforting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I can't recommend this spot enough. Yes, the prices aren't the same as a breakfast chain, but you also can't get the same quality or experience at a chain. It's so important to support small businesses and tip

The Alabama Biscuit Company is a great place for breakfast if you are in the Birmingham, Alabama area. The staff here was friendly and outgoing and I enjoyed their menu offerings. It had a nice selection of items and I would definitely recommend their biscuits. The Alabama Biscuit Company has a great ambiance, staff and solid food. I wouod definitely recommend a visit here.

Blueberry iced coffee was delish! Biscuits were meh. Expected a lot more out of the bacon egg and cheese. Ambiance isn't great. Quick service. 2 biscuits 2 coffees and a side of fruit (just peaches) was 40$. Got a bag of granola and brought the total to 60$ (delicious granola tho). Probably wouldn't come back

Small little spot with nice aesthetic and the food is so good - comfort food and great coffee/lattes with an oat milk option for dairy free. We were new in town from New England and needed a late breakfast on a weekday and found this place through Yelp. Delish and nice spot for coffee talk and a bite. Staff brought our drink and food to the table when it was ready. Nice music selection playing softly in the background.

I was in town for a personal trip and found this place on the internet. This is a nice little breakfast spot. I had a biscuit sandwich, sausage and a decaf espresso. The prices are pretty steep, I say this considering the area and the portion size. The food was good, but not enough for me to seek it out again. Only reason for a 4-star rating is value. I believe in paying good money for good quality, but $30+ for breakfast is a little steep. The other five people with me all paid a minimum of $25 for a biscuit sandwich and coffee.

If you're in search of a typical, bleached all purpose flour salty biscuit, keep it moving, because this place is not for you. There are a ton of places in town to find that, but you won't find it here. If you're someone who enjoys interesting, ancient and sprouted grain pastry, keep reading. These biscuits are so unique and special, they are crispy on the edges, and soft and fluffy in the middle, they have a fantastic texture and flavor. The menu is very creative and uses these handcrafted biscuits in so many different applications. The customer service is fantastic - we let the cashier know it was our first time and she gave me a run down on the menu, seasonal items, and her favorites. She was so pleasant and went out of her way to give us a great experience. My husband and I are coffee snobs (we are self aware, lol) and they use local non fiction high quality coffee which was fantastic. We had the blueberry spice latte and maple butter latte - both were really delicious. We appreciated that the drinks were made to the correct temperatures. We had difficulty choosing which food items because several sounded so good. We ended up with the croque madame and the seasonal strawberry biscake. Both were so delicious, top to bottom. The fresh dill and lemon aioli gave the perfect compliment to the ham and egg biscuit. The strawberries with vanilla mascarpone cream, and kumquat jelly was dreamy. 10/10 for the food and drinks. Truly special, not just good or okay. I'm not going to lie - I hesitated in the past about coming here thinking the menu looked like small items for a high price. We came hungry and were surprised to both be full and not finish our meals - luckily they had to go boxes handy to take our leftovers home. I now really, really regret not coming sooner! Lastly, the dining area is so thoughtfully put together to maximize a small space. The owner clearly cares about using local materials and quality finishes. We will be back, and very soon! In the meantime I'll be dreaming about those biscuits and lattes.

A cool place with an original take on southern biscuits. There can be a wait, so plan to chill.

DONT GET ALL UP IN MY BISCUITS! Something I have noticed about Alabama, Birmingham in general, is there are so many biscuit shops and people who are proud of their biscuits. There is an equal mix between franchised biscuit companies as well as small business biscuit shops. The Alabama Biscuit Company is a small business and we are so happy to have them here in our city. This location is very difficult to find if you have not been before. While driving if you pass Ms Myra's you have gone too far. It is located in a small strip way in the back of Cahaba Heights. Some landmarks next door are: Zebra Moving and the Flip Flop shop, if that helps. Jasmine and I were planning on doing some shopping today, but first wanted some brunch. I gave her a few options to choose from, but we decided on the Alabama Biscuit Company as neither of us had been before and wanted to try a new spot out. Another reason we chose this spot was because the prices weren't too over the top. There are several other brunch spots in town that are a little more on the pricier side if things, but this one was right where we needed it to be. First walking inside we noticed how rustic and cute the inside is. There are large red lights that float over a huge communal table. Aside from that there are a few other smaller tables 2 tops, 4 tops and even an outdoor seating option too. Since neither of us had been to this brunch spot before we took a little time to look over the menu and talked with the friendly staff member behind the counter. She showed us that not only did they have their regular menu but also a seasonal menu too, both of us ordered off the regular menu since this was our first time. Noticed that a lot of the menu items on the seasonal menu were not biscuits, but instead different toasts and a few biscuits sprinkled in. I felt as though since the name of the restaurant is the Alabama Biscuit Company, we need to order a biscuit. But of course no shame to anyone who doesn't order biscuits here. I ordered the pecan goat cheese and honey biscuit and Jasmine ordered the Croque Madame biscuit. I thought it was interesting that each of us ordered different variations of biscuits one savory and one sweet. But we definitely tasted each others to see the difference. The Croque Madame was interesting, I've had this dish many of times before, but never on a biscuit. I found it interesting that the girl at the counter described this dish as similar to a Eggs Benedict as I never thought of this dish as similar to a Benedict at all. My pecan goat cheese and honey biscuit was absolutely delicious. Think of it as a charcuterie board, but for breakfast. It truly had all of the elements of a charcuterie board, but in a smaller form. The bread, nuts, cheese and honey drizzle. This was one fantastic biscuit. We also each got a coffee to go with our biscuits. I ordered a coffee off of the seasonal menu and Jasmine ordered one off of the regular menu. The blueberry spice latte was just okay, it wasn't anything special. It barely tasted like blueberries or spices. The vanilla latte Jasmine ordered was just okay I've definitely had better. I will definitely be back for the food, there is so much to offer and so many biscuits to try. I know I'll be coming back again and again and trying to not order the pecan biscuit, it man was that a heavenly biscuit.

This place has a unique way of making biscuits! It's not your typical white flour biscuit or made with a lot of butter or buttermilk. I believe it's probably a whole grain biscuit which was really good and HUGE! It's a small kind of rustic looking interior almost like a coffee shop that's also sells really good breakfast food. Which brings a good point that their coffee is sooo delicious!! Has a bold but sweet taste too it which was really great. This place definitely is definitely a more organic self conscious place I would say. If you have certain food sensitivities this would be your place. A lot of organic locally sourced ingredients. The service was really quick and prompt. It was mine and my wife's first time trying it out and the guy was really helpful. I got the sausage biscuit with a egg over easy which was a tad bit over cooked but not a huge deal breaker. It was a decent portion size for sure and keep you filled up till the next meal and actually feel good about what your eating and know it's from locally sourced places. To add my order came with a side of grape jelly which you can definitely tell was homemade it was a nice addition to the meal.

Biscuits were excellent and the grits were surprising star. We lucked up and went after the morning rush had passed, customer service was great and made the experience even better. Emma was extremely helpful and made some great recommendations. My Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our food and we will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Very ok. Worst chai latte I've ever had. No complaints about the service and the turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich I had was fine. $48 for two breakfasts wasn't super fun. I remember reading about this place years ago when it was opening, but I'm not sure it lived up to the nice write up.

When you call your restaurant THE Alabama Biscuit Co., you better bring your A-game! The place is relatively small and hidden, but brings full flavor with some of the wildest biscuit topping combos. I ordered the Goat Cheese, Pecan, and Honey biscuit, which is literally just what it is. Tangy, sweet, and crunchy all in one! And the biscuit? Quite fluffy in the middle while also making the outside super crispy. It was magic hahaha. Heck I honestly told myself I would travel down from Nashville to Bham just to get one of these biscuits every weekend.

Alabama Biscuit Co. is a sweet place. Their biscuit recipe is different than most, but that isn't a problem. The menu is still PACKED with flavor and their coffee is really good. This is a nice and easy place to come and try some bold flavors, and to enjoy your time. I definitely recommend giving this one a try.

Quaint little place! Delicious food and coffee! Bacon du hour is a great choice with complex flavors, which is what I devoured! My wife had their biscuits and gravy, also very delicious! Looking for a place to unwind in the morning with a morning brew and biscuit - this is the place!

We want to find a good brunch spot to start our day. We found Alabama biscuits co. and wanted to try it. The inside was very nicely decorated. I ordered the Croque Madame and the vanilla latte while my friend ordered the blueberry spice latte and the goat cheese, pecan, and honey biscuit. Both the entrees were delicious. The egg, ham, aioli, and the dill went perfectly with each other. It was savory and tasty. The biscuit was buttery, fluffy, crumbly, and delicious. I'm slowly learning that lattes just aren't for me. But both the lattes were okay. I will recommend this restaurant.

VERY IMPRESSIVE ! Not long back my wife and I flew into Birmingham, AL from California for some work related stuff in Birmingham. This Southern Style organic eatery was recommended to us by the owner of a nice coffee shop not far away. We zipped straight over here after our coffee stop. To be honest we would've happily waited to enjoy lattes here if their website had mentioned they had an espresso machine. The cafe has a minimalist vibe with tables or countertops to sit at. It was pretty quiet being so early in the morning ! We chose a couple of their unique biscuit sandwiches off the menu...a Croque Monsieur and a Sausage, Egg, Cheese plus a bottle of Uncle Matt's Organic Orange Juice. Real friendly service from Mary and Freddie made our visit even more pleasant. We enjoyed our meals and the O.J tasted real fresh. Oh and a big thanks to Jonathan the owner for the nice rich latte he placed on our table. This was our last meal in Alabama before we hit the road to Atlanta, GA. Thanks guys ! NOTE - Of course with over 22 million views of my Yelp reviews and pics in 2022 I can tell you what is great !

Best biscuits, ever! We shared a savory and sweet-ish option and loved them both. Homey-chic atmosphere with friendly, attentive staff. And biscuits. Amazing biscuits.

This place is awesome! Very clean atmosphere and very friendly staff. It was my first time here and they helped us patiently walk through the menu and select some options. Food was fresh and yummy! I would definitely come back in the future. If your considering this place... TRY IT.

I let a friend talk me into going to this joint for the second time. I thought I learned my lesson first time. The prices this business charges is absurd. They are obviously proud of their food. But I know biscuits are very inexpensive to make. These people are making a killing off of their patrons. Count me OUT. Would gladly give zero stars if I could. Next..

Service was fast and friendly, and I loved the seat and order yourself style! The ambiance was very nice, and perfect for the holiday season. Couldn't decide between just one sweet or savory as always, so I split the goat cheese and honey with the bacon egg and cheese. The portion size was perfect and they were generous with the toppings. I'm not the hugest homemade biggest fan, but I would definitely return to get these because they were just that good. With the time and ingredients it takes to make these kinds of biscuits I think the price was reasonable although it is on the higher end. As ling as the biscuits stay big!

My FAVORITE place for breakfast. The food is always fresh and you can tell they use quality ingredients. I highly recommend! It's my Saturday go-to breakfast spot. The maple butter latte is delicious as well!

Delicious! Stopped by while driving through Birmingham. This is a cute little place just around the corner from The Summit. Inside is bright and modern without feeling like an office park - they managed to make it feel cozy. Tried the croque madame biscuit and the goat cheese, pecan and honey. Both were absolutely delicious. Would definitely stop by when in the area again.

I was in the Cahaba Heights and decided to eat at Alabama Biscuit Company while in the area. You can order at your table thru your phone and pay which is super easy for COVID. It wasn't too busy when we got there. They were out of water in the pourer when we tried to get some and they did refill it after I told them. It did take a little while for our coffees which is probably my biggest gripe. The food came out not long afterwards and we did enjoy our meal. It's a good brunch if you are in the area looking for something to eat. It's a 3.5 in my book. #bhamfoodguy

Food was overpriced, biscuits were dry, and portions were small. The only thing that was okay was the coffee, but it wasn't great. You'll have better luck trying Maple Street for a good biscuit instead.

The food was so good. Didn't realize the apple sauce can go so well with bacons. It was really sweet of the staff to recommend us some meals without us asking! Had a great time while eating there. Definitely will go back and try something else!

Whenever me and my partner drive though Alabama, this is the place we stop at! We have been here three times and they never let us down. Hands-down the best biscuits we have ever had and a great staple for Alabama. Thank you for your delicious food and very kind service!

Every time I am in Birmingham, I make it a point to stop in here. Their seasonal biscuits are always my favorite. During the fall if you get a chance try the pear biscuit, that is the best one I've had!!

Went here for breakfast on 9/17. Got the apple covered biscuit and avocado toast with egg and bacon. Everything tasted good with some flavor but was not life changing, however... these two items plus a cup of milk was $35. Kind of incredible for the portion size. Not sure if it was because of the area that I was in but it just seemed extravagant for what we got. Thanks for a good time though!

We had the best little breakfast date! Shared the Oatmeal, Goat Cheese, Pecan and Honey Biscuit, and Mississippi Cheese Toast. Mocha Espresso to drink. All was wonderful. We got to sit in the cute little table by the window and you order from your table on you phone if you want. All good was super fresh and unique but SO tasty!!!! We will be back. May be pricey to bring all the kids, but worth the extra $$ for the quality. I took off a star because we felt that the staff friendliness and southern hospitality was just a little lacking. Nobody greeted us or checked to see if everything was good. Our food was delivered to the table, but we were told we could go up and get our own napkins, utensils, etc. Not a huge negative, but it does separate the South and separate your restaurant from fast food.

What a special place! The food was delicious and the staff was very helpful. My only negative was the food was served on disposables and I prefer when sitting in a restaurant to actually have a plate or bowl.

Good breakfast. Different than typical Southern biscuits, but fun and creative. A little pricey for breakfast, but worth it.

Exceptional spot to stop for breakfast during our long road trip back from the beach. Local feel with perfected menu. We all loved our food.

I'd heard about this place several times so finally decided to give it a try since I was in the area. I got the Bacon d'jur (spelling?) and it was good but not life altering. The apple butter and apples combined over powered the taste of everything else. After I took out some apple slices it was better and very tasty. My daughter got a plain biscuit and it was fine but she said she likes Jack's biscuits better LOL I got a blueberry something other (seasonal) coffee and it was good but again not life altering. My experience was just ok... I wouldn't go out of my way but if I was in the area I'd go back.

Wow Ive not been surprised by such a "simple" food in a very long time. I headed to Pizitz today looking forward to trying the Alabama Biscuit Co. as I have wanted to for a while now. The food- Today I got the Pecan, Goat Cheese, and Honey biscuit although the pecan butter biscuit was tempting. Wow the flavors of the goat cheese, pecan, and sweetness that the honey added was just incredible. The biscuit itself was thick and seemed more of a "whole wheat" biscuit that I rather enjoyed over your normal pillsbury biscuit (maybe so you dont feel bad about eating them??). The service- It is relatively simple to go up and order off the menu they have. Our cashier was fine not great not terrible just doing his job which is no problem. It only took about 5-10 minutes to get me and a coworkers food out which is pretty good in my opinion. Overall I was really impressed by a "simple biscuit" having flavors that melded together excellently. I dont love the price of the items ($7-11) but that is my one and only complaint. If this place was cheaper I would be here WAY too often, but because thats unlikely I'll only visit occasionally!

Amazing place to stop! We were on our way to florida and wanted to get off the normal route. Jackson made an amazing cappuccino! Yes, I have had a lot to compare those to. The avocado toast was scrumptious! The biscuits sandwich were a hit. Very cute place.

Great biscuits with a unique flavor and texture. Excellent coffee too. Ordering is table side with an app, quite efficient. Outdoor seating available

The biscuits were over done. I had biscuits and gravy. The gravy was excellent but I had a whole peppercorn I bit down on. Husband got the croquet madame and it was just bad. Coffee served in takeout cups was hot and fresh but 3.99 a cup. Breakfast at a biscuit boutique should at the least have excellent biscuits. I may give them another try. See if anything changes. The gravy was very good.

Expen$$$$$$$$$$ive, yet delicious. Please go see them and enjoy the ambiance and awesome food

Great food and Biscuits done right! The server explained in detail each biscuit with all the variety they have. Don't miss out on the coffee or fresh oranges.

If I could give them any star I want, I would give them 4.5 stars. Be we all know the Yelp system. So I rounded up to 5 because the only problems I had were the price and the advertisement that they did curbside. I got the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit. I have heard great things about this place and I was glad to finally try it since I now live in the neighborhood. They also had a sorghum latte too... yes please! When I got there, I was a little unsure what to do. And I decided to go inside and check on my order. When I got there, one person was running the counter with 2 people in line. I don't mind if a small business can't do curbside. But logistically on their online ordering, it shouldn't be an option. My coffee wasn't even ready even though I put a specific time. But I try not to be a diva on this kind of thing. Hence the five stars. The food and coffee were absolutely amazing. That is what gives them five stars plain and simple. Yes the price is high. But getting that sorghum latte is what moves them to 5 stars. Can't eat there every day. But I will when I can!

Really cute place. Breakfast food is one of my favorites so I decided to try this today. Got the almond butter and jelly biscuit with a side of bacon and the blueberry spice latte. Biscuit was a little dense but it was good. Kinda thick with the almond butter but I kinda knew what I was getting myself into. Great flavor tho. The bacon was delish! Great latte too. I would come back!

For me, the hype around Alabama Biscuit Company is like being the person who's laughing with everyone else even though you don't get the joke. I want to love it like so many other people do, but somehow it just doesn't give me all the same feels. Are their employees cordial? Yes. Is their space trendy and well-kept? Sure. Do I think they source reputable local ingredients? Of course. But, do I think their biscuits are worthy of an $11+ price tag? Well, not really. One of my closest girlfriends just raves about this spot (and would probably be upset if she saw this review!) I've been twice now-- once with her and once by myself-- and though my food was good, it was not the best breakfast/biscuit/nor sandwich I've ever had. Maybe there's something I'm missing? Maybe I'm not ordering the best things in the menu? I certainly would return if someone I'm with wants to go but I don't think I'd seek it out on my own.

I don't understand why there are so many harsh reviews about their food stall at the Pizitz. Sorry their biscuits aren't dripping with saturated fat and butter while you plow 3900 calories into that turkey goblet triple chin. It's important to understand the type of food you're buying before you do so. This isn't Hardee's...there is not a quadruple bacon sausage and egg heart stopper on the menu. It's an artisan biscuit place with fine ingredients and a tight presentation. Therefore, there isn't a dollar menu. It's easily one of the better looking food stalls at the Pizitz and the staff has always been nice to me. Another thing you won't get from somewhere with a dollar menu. I'm tossing them five stars because I've eaten at both of their establishments dozens of times and they've never done me wrong. Keep on keeping on folks. The food is rad.

Stopped by today while at pizitz with the hubby for lunch/brunch. I ordered the Grits Bowl with sausage and a soft poached egg. It was delicious. I am very picky about my grits ,but I was impressed. My food was not as warm as I would have liked but I didn't send it back because they were extremely busy and the poor guy at the register was extremely patient with indecisive patrons like myself. They have a great menu of course with various biscuits and preserves. I will definitely come back but maybe on a not so busy day. Sunday's are busy here at pizitz. Make sure you stop by The Louis for a cocktail !!

The Alabama Biscuit Co. was a very cute place. The service was friendly and efficient. We did not wait long for our food. We ordered the biscuits and gravy, the croque madame, and a cappuccino. The biscuits are not your traditional white flour and soaked in butter but they are flaky and delicious. The gravy was perfection, full of flavor but not heavy. The croque madame was pretty good. The ham was flavorful, I wish the poached egg was softer, the aïoli was unbelievable. Cappuccino was pretty standard. The price is high for breakfast biscuits. We had good size portions and were full. We will defiantly be back but won't be a regular weekly stop.

Great place for a quick, light bite and coffee. Stopped in today and had a biscuit with honey, goat cheese and pecans and a vanilla latte. Nice high quality stuff. The biscuit was fresh and tasty, and the portion was generous. Plenty of goat cheese and pecans, and enough honey on the plate to dip every bite. Really good stuff. The coffee was as good as you would expect from a local spot who seems to take care to hire experienced baristas who know their stuff. Overall an excellent place to stop in and have a bite. Creative menu, wide selection of coffees from regular brew to espresso drinks to cold brew. If I'm not mistaken they also sell beans so you can probably grab those there as well. If you haven't been, give them a shot. You won't regret it. Edit: After reading some of the reviews and noting that some people seem to complain about the price, I have to say that my latte and biscuit only came to 14 bucks. That's not expensive. The biscuit was a good amount of food with all the toppings. The latte was maybe 20oz, so not bad at all. If I had gone to Starbucks and gotten a latte and a sausage croissant I would have saved maybe 2 bucks. I think this place is worth it. Maybe they've changed the prices since the previous reviews, I don't know, but 14 bucks for pecans, goat cheese, honey and espresso drinks is a good deal. Those are expensive ingredients. Check out what pecans, goat cheese and honey cost at a grocery store.

Nice locations, nice restaurant environment but the food is sub par for the price you pay. Portions are smaller than they portrayed and it didn't meet the expectation of what you'd expect from the name "THE Alabama Biscuit Co." The best thing on the menu is the jam that comes with the meals. It's worth taking home but to spread across real home made biscuits made AT HOME, not theirs. Also, coffee is a rip off. Starbucks is right down the street and you'll actually get a cheaper and better...believe it or not..

Currently evacuated for a storm and stumbled upon this place while searching for good food spots in Birmingham. The biscuits were bomb, the cashier/barista absolutely crushed it (whoever worked on 8/31 AM), and the blueberry spice latte? Thanks y'all!
