Urban Standard - Birmingham

As the name states, this cafe had an urban look.Good coffee and atmosphere. At times parking is a challenge but it’s downtown and expected.

Great place to get a coffee or quick bite for lunch! The cappuccino is perfect and the grilled cheese is one of the best. Cool ambiance and a place my co-workers and I frequented to get a break from the office and some good coffee. Definitely a place to check out.

THIS PLACE HAS REOPENED PLEASE GO AND SUPPORT THIS FINE ESTABLISHMENT.....<br/ <br/ This is a great place for coffee… Went by the other day did not realize they had had a fire<br/ Are briefly closed and repairing. <br/ <br/ You can go to their website and help support their employees while they are waiting to re-open. Go back to this place when it reopens it's fantastic and I recommended very highly.

My husband and I have started having breakfast dates on Saturday ams. We visited Urban Standard this am. We enjoyed every bit of our experience. The atmosphere was very cool and inviting. The staff was perfectly friendly and welcoming. I ordered the omelet, and he ordered the biscuits and gravy. It was all delicious. We decided to try a pumpkin spice cupcake, and were given it on the house: We will definitely be coming back to Urban Standard! It was a most pleasant experience!

After having wanted to try Dottie's True Blue Cafe for years, I finally got the chance! I came one brisk Thursday morning for brunch the line was about 15 people deep but I was by myself and knew I'd snag a spot quick. I waited about 25 minutes before I was seated. Didn't realize that Dottie's was in the Tenderloin part of town a little rough but don't let that scare you away.<br/ <br/ Once I was seated, I decided on one of the items written on the specials menu board the fried egg breakfast sandwich. It came with a fried egg, avocado, prosciutto, provolone, and aioli spread on a biscuit. It was served with potatoes and fresh fruit. SO happy with what I ordered. I know Dottie's has lots of items on their menu that other people rave about and I'm sure they're good but my breakfast sandwich hit the spot. With that being said, I will definitely be making my way back to Dottie's to try some of their other delectable menu options.<br/ <br/ Service was fast and SO friendly everyone from the waiter to the bus boys. Everyone was so kind and engaging. Great vibe, great place.
