Woodlawn Cycle Cafe - Birmingham

Superb brunch spot. Breakfast bowl plus a sweet potato biscuit will not disappoint

Definitely a place for hipsters. It is decorated like a nice coffee house and has good food options. They are aware of allergens and can make lots of substitutions. It seems like people are regulars here because multiple people ordered the usual . Parking is available at a nearby side street and parking lot, so on a Saturday it 's easy to park. I ordered the Market Hash to go which was pretty decent. Large portion and had a fresher, more earthy flavor since it wasn 't deep fried.

We visited on our way through Birmingham because this restaurant was listed as the top rated Yelp restaurant in Alabama. Great coffee, helpful staff and a neat and very clean location were a plus. The portions offered were too small for the price and there was only one non-vegetarian option on the menu for the warm dishes. The chicken thigh they served atop wild rice was very tasty though it didn't look appetizing. We ordered a locally made kombucha which was quite tasty. We also ordered a spice carrot cake muffin and a savory bacon and cheese scone since we were still hungry. Both were very, very good. The muffin was not too sweet and the scone was really well done. We had a latte and espresso with our baked goods. Both were creamy and rich and surprisingly not that expensive considering the price of the other menu items.

Super cool coffee shop. We were able to get a lot of work done. It is a very relaxed environment. The coffee drinks were excellent. The pictures on top of the coffee drinks are top notch. The bathrooms are super clean. They also have great soap and lotion. The food is also very good. The staff is very friendly. They do not ever pressure you to buy more or leave. They even brought is fresh water on multiple occasions during our 4 hour stay.

We had a fantastic time at the cafe. Delicious food and friendly staff. The hot cakes were delicious, the egg on toast was awesome (the sour dough toast was the best part) and the sweet potato biscuit was excellent! Sort of sweet, but paired really well with the salted butter. The tea was also really well done. The cafe is not incredibly well-marked. Look for a small black sign sticking out from the wall. There’s parking at a nearby municipal lot.
