Bruto

What a charming cafe! Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or just coffee with friends. Came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy, but still some tables free. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Unclear if they restock the baked goods and pizzas throughout the day; when we ordered they had already run out of blueberry muffins and were running low on other things. Be warned! We ordered an il capitano sandwich with a sode caesar salad in place of chips, a slice of margherita bruto pizza, an iced latte with black pepper maple flavoring, and key lime and s'mores cookies. The sandwich was very good, with high quality ingredients, plenty of prosciutto, and perfect bread. The salad and pizza were both great as well, and we quite enjoyed the inventive cookies. We'll definite

So the food here is phenomenal as is the service. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that the two sandwiches in the photo are both “whole” $15 sandwiches. I went back and let them know I’d only been given half a sandwich, to which they let me know that is actually a whole sandwich. That is an Il Capitano sandwich and apparently they were out of regular bread so that’s why the whole sandwich I bought is actually a half of the other whole sandwich I bought. I inquired and the staff was lovely and the full reason for getting 4 stars I was given a coffee and cookie just for inquiring but at the end of the day I paid $30 for 1 and a half sandwiches. I think this is a menu problem I think a whole sandwich at the same price point should at the very least seem comparable to the other whol

Very cute shop. The furniture and decor is so cozy and lovely, and the sandwiches are great, and the caesar salad is to die for, and every time I walk in the staff are so kind!! Love it here!

Finally got around to trying this place out today. I'm constantly on the road for work and try to find places across Central AL that I can use as "homebases" to stop, get coffee, eat, use facilities, and get admin work done when I'm remote. This place is centrally-located to a lot of other food, bars, retail, etc., between Avondale and Crestwood so it's gonna be a great option to stop at later in the day and then meet up with folks nearby after the workday. There's plenty of parking and, because of the beautiful weather today, they had their ceiling to floor windows/doors completely open out front. Whether you were inside or out, it was all al fresco and I was loving every minute of it. The guy who greeted me and took my order with the dreads was super friendly and was nice enough to ask

Oh man, This place is so good. I like my coffee, strong, smooth and flavorful, and they checked all those boxes. I like that this place keeps the menu short and simple and everything is made from scratch. I really don’t like going to coffee shops with an overextended menu. Just focus on what you Do great. I also added a chocolate chip cookie. They also baked in house excellent. Caramel latte was probably one of the best I’ve had ever. It’s a little on the small side, which is my only complaint, but it’s totally worth it. I will be back as this is right down the street from me.
