What customers say

Really nice cafe, the high ceiling and airy atmosphere is really relaxing. It's right smack in the middle of downtown BHM so that’s good too, a pity they close early, but that’s how BHM is. The espresso & cortado I got were served in actual glassware and came with fizzy water which makes you enjoy the taste more.

Very nice coffee shop. They roast their coffee in Montgomery. Friendly baristas and a cheery and bright atmosphere. I got the honey vanilla raspberry latte, it was good. Good milk texture, nice art and quality espresso. Located downtown.

★★★★★ — Sierra, 2024-06

Prevail Birmingham is a hidden gem in the downtown area of the Magic City. I always appreciate the hospitality shown by their team of baristas. The uniquely crafted seasonal drinks are well-blended and refreshing. I've also enjoyed many perfectly dialed-in espresso shots. Prevail BHM awaits you! ☕

★★★★★ — Darius, 2024-08

Prevail made the best cappuccino i've had in a long time. I could hardly tell where the foam ended and the coffee began, it was so smooth and silk all around. No bitterness at all and you can tell the beans and milk are quality
