A Guide to Montgomery Coffee Shops
Prevail Union
Near and dear to the heart of downtown, Prevail Union is one of the most aesthetically gifted coffee shops in Montgomery, given its warm earthy tones set against minimalistic white and exposed brick walls, comfy couches and armchairs, touches of greenery, large windows that let the sunlight flow through, and last but certainly not least, carefully brewed java that’s been roasted in-house. The attention to detail that has gone into designing this abode with a delightful balance of charm and utility makes it an easy go-to for daytime meetings with colleagues, long overdue coffee dates, or solo study sessions.
Vintage Cafe
Tucked inside Cloverdale’s historic Regions Bank building, Vintage Cafe offers guests a sleek, modern setting accentuated by chic furnishings, black and white tones, a second-floor mezzanine that overlooks the entrance, accommodations for remote work, a rentable private room, and remnants from the property’s past such as a camera in the height chart by the entrance, the depository box, and a metal vault gate. In addition to specialty coffee, tea, fresh juices, and nutrient-packed smoothies, the menu has a variety of healthy food choices for breakfast and lunch.
Hilltop Public House
Breathing new life into a century-old building nestled in the historic Cottage Hill neighborhood, this locally treasured haven among Montgomery coffee shops showcases an offbeat, swanky ambiance underscored by black and white honeycomb tile floors, exposed brick walls, vintage bicycles, mirrors on the wall, neat trinkets speckled throughout, and a full bar. The picturesque decor serves as an accomplice to thoughtfully crafted, rewardingly delicious coffee beverages, and should you meander on in at the tail end of an exhaustive work day, feel free to take a load off with a crisp craft beer or glass of wine.
Cafe Louisa
Located in Old Cloverdale, just down the road from Alabama State University, Cafe Louisa serves organic fair trade coffee, baked goods, freshly made soups, and artisan breads amidst cozy digs dappled with seating arrangements, art-adorned walls, red accents, and trendy light fixtures. Whether you’d like to settle into a couch and appreciate the company of loved ones over a steamy cup of joe, stop by for a quick snack while exploring the area, or grab a sweet treat for that special somebody on your way home, whatever the case may be, Cafe Louisa has got you covered.
Wandering Rose Coffee Co.
This beloved little retro-fitted 1965 Winnebago with a red paint job can currently be found serving Maxwell Air Force Base and its surrounding communities, what’s more, the mobile operation is military-spouse-owned. Though the friendly folks behind the soul-stirring coffee here are capable of crafting tasty takes on your usual caffeinated favorites, consider treating yourself to a delectable seasonal drink like the Cranberry & White Chocolate Mocha, Pumpkin Pie Cold Brew, or Apple of My Chai.
