Lucy’s Coffee & Tea

Love this place for lunch and a latte!!! I am a fan of the everything especially the soup of the day!

In town for business and needing to kill a few hours prior to meetings at UAB. Nice little coffee house, good coffee, friendly people and good atmosphere to do some work.

Great little breakfast spot if your in Birmingham and want something healthy and easy

They have the best brownies in probably the world. Staff is always very helpful and sweet. The coffee is excellent, and it’s a nice atmosphere to sit and get some work done, and chat with a few friends. The walls are decorated with locals artists work that you can purchase!

Adorable place, warm service, and delicious cold brew coffee! I highly recommend the Café Viennese. Lucy’s is a favorite of UAB students and faculty, and seems to be one of downtown’s best kept secrets– until you become a local and discover that almost everyone goes there. The paninis are highly recommended, but the real star of the show is the luxurious homemade brownie!

This place was a little hectic when I was there. It seems to be quite popular with UAB med students. And I think I was there during a lunch rush, which certainly changed the vibe. The most memorable part of the experience was watching Lucy work to make sure her guests were happy. I never knew about this place, and I have spent a lot of time in the area over the years. It’s really easy to drive by, but I will definitely visit again. I love to support people who act like they want my business.

Cute, small sandwich and coffee shop right by UAB. Found it on Unilocal.Fast & friendly service in this bustling lunch spot. I ordered the chicken salad on croissant and their home brewed tea. Chicken salad was a refreshing new twist with tomato, lettuce and pecans. I found it savory instead of the tendency to be sweet with other recipes. They offer wifi and a cozy coffee shop setting. I would like to return and try more sandwiches. Good solid lunch spot. Happy to find it.

1^st visit. I love chocolate. Had a brownie and a Rocha Mocha– amazing coffee. Perfect touch of sweetness, but not too much. Neat atmosphere.

You have got to stop in and try Lucy’s Coffee and Tea! This place is awesome! The staff is über friendly, like I honestly cannot get over how friendly they were. It was refreshing in light of declining customer service :) I really enjoy a good sandwich and soup and this place really delivered. I ordered a whole turkey panini — I couldn’t get over how much meat this panini had, really a great value. I couldn’t finish the entire panini)…this may have also been because I had a brownie before my sandwich came out — delicious! Really great value for your money.
It has a really cozy neighborhood feel kind of vibe. The interior is kind of small and it seems to get busy with UAB folks around the noon hour. There are couches and small tables that are perfect for enjoying a lunch while doing a little work or reading. You can tell that they go the extra mile to get to know their customers and seem to have a lot of regular. Loved this place and will definitely return!

I love Lucy’s! The soups are always changing and make a great light meal. The paninis will fill you up if you’re feeling more ravenous. The staff is made up of some of the friendliest people in Birmingham. I also like how they have self-​serve coffee when you need your caffeine fix and in a hurry. The old-​fashioned pre-​pay tab on the chalk board is very convenient for those of you who don’t like using a credit card every time you pay for a coffee.

Fun atmosphere, hospitable service, great coffee. They always get your food and drinks out quickly and somehow there’s always space to work. Lucy and her staff are really great! I wish it was open on the weekends! I’ve only had bad service once when someone had an attitude when I asked what was in a scone.

Love the coffee here! a good place for meetings.
Only negative thing is that it closes on the weekend: S

Hazelnut whole milk cappuccino is the answer to life. Friendly coffee shop with charm. Very quiet and peaceful if you’re looking to relax.

I came to visit UAB for a conference as a vegetarian and didn’t love any of the lunch options in the area. Until I came here. The veggie panini was amazing and delicious. I would recommend to anyone in town.

Lucy’s is a local coffee shop that serves the UAB community. It is convenient for people there, but parking is horrendous for those driving in to check the shop out. It took me about 20 minutes to find a parking space, and I had to park in the projects several streets down. (A guy tried to sell me drugs when I got out of my car.)
Lucy’s has a real homey and somewhat hippy-​like atmosphere, with friendly staff, various people studying or reading, and some people eating lunch. The lunches looked really fresh and good. Prices seem reasonable. I tried just the Rocha Mocha, recommended by the lady at the cash register. It was a good but not remarkable coffee drink.
This is a nice spot to hang out alone or with a friend. It’s small. It has wi-​fi.
We sat down on a sofa there and had a nice conversation for a while and enjoyed watching people. I would like to stop by for lunch sometime, but don’t feel like fighting to find a parking place.

Lucy’s is right around the corner from my work building and is my go-​to locale for a midday pick-​me-​up. The staff are genuine, kind and always (always!) positive. The snacks are yummy, the coffee drinks expertly crafted (though look elsewhere if you want to instagram you latte art) and the lunch paninis are consistently delicious. It can get crowded at lunch time so I usually go at off peak times to avoid the dreaded table vulturing. Note: I’ve never tried to access this place by car but I imagine parking would be a beast… Walk or bike if you can help it. Random Bonus: they have the Girl Scout cookie hook-​up … During GSC season you can order and pick-​up at Lucy’s and, in my experience, delivery was super fast: über convenient for those of us out of touch with local scouts.

Such a quaint nook perfect for coffee, tea, small breakfasts & creative paninis. The staff is so friendly. I ordered half chicken melt/​half mediterranean (out of curiosity) and was charged a whole panini though I ordered two completely different halves. I love options & not being charged extra for stepping outta the box.
Total price is compatible with surrounding establishments… which is more than I’d like to pay for lunch overall, but who’s complaining when there was nothing ro brown bag from home.

Right around the corner and fabulous panini’s keep Lucy’s high up on my lunch rotation — faves are the Mediterranean, the turkey, and the veggie. The tomato chutney is marvelous and I usually ask for it instead of aioli. I’m not a coffee-​drinker, but am seriously addicted to their mango iced tea.
The place is funky and friendly, with local art on the walls and a bookcase for reading and swapping in a back alcove. The crowd is so diverse and interesting that I’ve always thought I could gain IQ points just by spending a lunch hour eavesdropping!

The coziest spot at UAB.
Lucy’s is just a couple of blocks from my building and it’s my go to for a pick-​me-​up coffee or a quick lunch with friends or co-​workers. Fun décor and fabulous food round out the experience so nicely that I always leave in a better mood than I arrive.
This is a favorite!

Coffee is excellent, McLucy sausage, egg and cheese biscuit is tasty and atmosphere is awesome. Their menu selection has quite a bit of food and home baked breads, etc that you’d usually find in a pastry shop.
Super friendly staff, including Lucy herself and the inside is exactly how you’d picture a cool coffee shop to look like.
