My Homewood Favorites

The places we actually go, love, and keep coming back to. These are my go-to spots for coffee, brunch, lunch, date night, family dinners, and something sweet around Homewood.

COFFEE + BAKERY

  • Seeds Coffee Co. - Homewood — especially good for actual specialty coffee and breakfast.

  • Caveat Coffee — cozy house setting and a great downtown Homewood stop.

  • OHenry's Coffees — classic Homewood coffee shop.

  • Domestique Coffee - Dawn Patrol (Homewood, AL) — more coffee-forward/local feel.

  • Daily Edition — newer, design-forward West Homewood option.

BREAKFAST + BRUNCH

  • Big Bad Breakfast

  • Ruby Sunshine

  • Demetri's — an old-school Homewood institution.
