Cafe Origins

Lovely relatively new café in downtown Birmingham offering an extensive food menu and excellent drink options. It’s a perfect spot for breakfast or lunch. There are salads, hand pies, sandwiches, quiche, various pastries, soups, breakfast sandwiches, smoothies, all sorts of coffee drinks, and specialty drinks, as well as some delicious cookies (the gluten free lemon crinkle cookie is wow good). The service is very friendly and they really want to make sure you are happy. A positive , welcoming atmosphere!!! The prices are a bit expensive for the sandwiches and the rollos, but the salad and quiche are right in the usual price. The interior is decorated very nicely and is relatively small and mostly high tops. I do hope as they grow they figure out a better seating situation— perhaps built in benches or some sort of sofa seating to even improve the coziness of the space. I will definitely be back and I’m really thankful they are here in town.

My dad and I went to Cafe Origin for brunch, and it was amazing! The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing. My dad has a gluten allergy and it catered to his needs. The chef was super friendly and brought us out gluten free foods to try! Definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back.
