Seeds Coffee Co. - Homewood fits comfortably within the neighborhood’s routine as a coffee shop and breakfast spot that doubles as a local hangout. Located on Oxmoor Road, it offers a mix of well-crafted coffee drinks and a thoughtfully curated breakfast menu that leans into approachable, fresh ingredients—perfect for anyone easing into their morning or taking a midday pause.

The coffee is clearly the centerpiece here, with everything from single-origin pour overs to nitrogen-infused cold brews on tap. Baristas tend to their espresso shots with care, using scales to ensure consistency, which appeals to those who appreciate precision in their cup. Drinks like the cappuccino and seasonal flavored lattes come highly recommended by regulars, and the iced options provide a refreshing counterpoint on warmer days. There’s enough variety to satisfy both espresso purists and those looking for something a little sweeter or more adventurous, like the Thai Tea.

Breakfast items round out the experience with straightforward, satisfying dishes that often feature avocado toast in a few forms, biscuits with eggs and cheese, and granola or yogurt bowls. The portions come with fresh fruit on the side, making it feel like a balanced meal rather than just a quick bite. Those stopping by earlier in the morning might find some limited kitchen options initially, but the food service quickly ramps up as the day progresses.

The atmosphere leans casual and cozy, with a spacious interior offering plenty of seating for both individuals and groups. Indoor seating, paired with some outdoor options, works well for everything from solo coffee breaks to casual meetups. The staff’s friendly and attentive demeanor sets a relaxed tone that blends well with the easygoing Homewood vibe. Given the popularity, especially on weekend mornings, arriving outside peak brunch hours might mean a quieter spot to settle in.

Seeds Coffee Co. attracts a broad crowd—locals popping in for their morning caffeine fix, remote workers spreading out with laptops, and visitors who’ve heard the buzz about the quality coffee lineup. It’s an everyday place that doesn’t try too hard to impress but impresses precisely because it gets so many of the basics right: consistently good coffee, solid food options, and a welcoming environment where you can linger or grab and go.

Coffee is really good. Honey avocado toast is fresh and tasty too. Love the cozy ambiance and friendly staff.

The coffee is SO GOOD but I wish I could get the lemon cake latte in a gallon size. The avocado toast is divine. You get a lot of fruit on the side too! And the Sriracha honey is a mussssst! (The sausage was extra, it does not come with the toast.)

At 07:30 they werent ready to serve any dishes with potatoes. What left to try was ok. The cream for my plain brew was sour and I had to ask for a fresh cup of coffee. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating either solo or with a group.

Stopped on a road trip - great coffee ! A bit of a line but they cranked em out pretty good. Got an iced van latte, an iced mocha and egg+avocado toast. Lots of seating options inside and out and friendly staff. Loved seeing the barista use a scale for every espresso shot - I'm guessing you can trust a consistent cup here

When recommending locally-owned coffee shops to Bham visitors, this is always first on my list. First of all - highest quality coffee at all levels: from single origin espresso to fun seasonal drinks. The food menu keeps getting better and better too; pic below is my first experience of the breakfast burrito and once a month, get to chicken biscuit Saturday if you can, but get there early because they always sell out. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, and the best staff in town.

Their cappuccino may be my favorite in Birmingham!! Also, I love that their seasonal beverages and flavored lattes are not too sweet!

Kindest employees, fantastic yogurt and granola bowl. I was short 45 cents and they were so quick to help out. The atmosphere is unbeatable, there is always lots of people here- and for several good reasons! One of my favorites in Birmingham, if not my favorite.
