Woodlawn Cycle Cafe - Birmingham

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.

Tasty food and a fun atmosphere. Wait staff was super friendly, and we enjoyed introducing the kids to more sophisticated tastes beyond the typical American fare. Sweet potato biscuits were very good. They play music from vinyl and actually do the whole album, which is a big plus for music enthusiasts, but I thought the volume was excessive. We couldn't talk to each other without yelling, which detracts done from the dining experience.

Great coffee, food was amazing, and great vibe. I shared table with 3 random people who were also co-working from the coffee shop. The coffee was really good (not cheap) and I ordered the venison over naan plate (pictured) that was flavorful and filling. Street parking along adjacent streets made it easy to spend the morning working here.

My wife loves little hipster cafe’s like this one. The food is always amazing as well as their coffee. The restaurant it self is nestled in the heart of Woodlawn near the high school and Christ health center. Don’t expect to be welcomed by anyone. No one is excited you are there. The workers here are very mellow and even seem irritated if a family with kids come in a mess up their chic hipster environment. They do play records and tapes which a cool selection of music. I recommend the sweet potato biscuit!

We had a wonderful experience at the café. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The hot cakes were amazing, and the egg on toast was fantastic—the sourdough toast was definitely the highlight! The sweet potato biscuit was also superb, with just the right amount of sweetness that complemented the salted butter perfectly. The tea was equally well-prepared. The café isn’t very prominently marked, so keep an eye out for a small black sign protruding from the wall. There is parking available at a nearby municipal lot.
