    Food: 2 out of 5 Service: Really sweet people. 5 out of 5 We were passing through at breakfast, ordered the tofu scramble and avocado toast. Worst tofu scramble I think we've ever had. And for anyone thinking "duh it's tofu", fair...but, there is a way to cook with it that can make it taste flavorful and really however you want it to taste. I feel the chef who made this recipe has 0 creativity. Also the portion was so tiny.

    I went because it was supposed to have vegan options. They overcharged is for one order, and the “tofu scramble” was oily fried cubes of flavorless tofu. The grits and biscuits were good, but I’m pretty sure they weren’t vegan. I really wanted to volunteer to teach the chef how to make a tofu scramble- it’s not hard. Smash it, put in some yummy spices and veggies, and scramble it in minimal oil. Turmeric makes it yellow like eggs. I hope they read this. I gave it an extra star because the servers were really pleasant.

    Great place for breakfast and lunch right in the middle is Central Birmingham. Great biscuits, cheese grits, and locally sourced sausage make up the Breakfast Plate I had. Couple that with their house made Chai Latte and you will not be disappointed. Will definitely be back here in my next visit.

    They have coffee drinks and food available. I had a mocha and it was okay, it had an interesting flavor that I can't exactly pinpoint, a litter bitter, not my favorite. I wanted to order grits but they were out. This is not a bad option in my opinion but would not be my first choice.

    Someone in the kitchen is angry. I ordered the plain skillet potatoes for $3 then added $3 worth of toppings thinking it would make a nice vegan breakfast. But I can hardly find any potato pieces in that little bowl that was served - MAYBE there's 1/4 of a regular potato in there?? I asked about it and kitchen said YEP, that's right. To me, it feels very stingy - like on purpose stingy. It's a potato, not steak. Last visit here 6 mos ago I had a muffin so dry it seemed stale. Tablemates agreed. Kitchen said it wasn't. I'm done getting food here. Coffee is good but I won't go out of my way to get it.
