Revelator Coffee

Good selection of coffee and baked goods! Whole bean coffee was in stock and roasted fairly close to sell date.

Plenty of street parking to walk to the cafe.

This place was very upscale in decor... However, there was very little lounge-seating, especially with how quickly it got busy. Good coffee, but I wasn't particularly impressed. Long, double-sided bar with stool seating... But again, not enough lounge-seating for it to be a cozy coffee shop. Seemed a bit uptight, to me.

The coffee was terrible and the barista was about as pretentious as you can be about coffee. I ordered a single shot of espresso and their machine was down to be able to make it for me, even though they were making lattes and cappuccinos and other drinks for others... all of those have shots of espresso... anyway in a city with better options I would go anywhere but here.

This new retail Revelator location is modern, clean and hip. The pour over bean selection changes regularly. On my last visit I had fabulous Colombian beans prepared with v60. Wonderful to discover such excellent coffee and location in downtown Birmingham.

My favorite coffee in Birmingham.
Revelator’s coffee has amazing flavor without being bitter and is never too hot or over bearing.
Definitely don’t plan on having any private conversations at the 3rd Ave. location haha The sound travels too easily.

Okay coffee in a nice environment, but the size of the Latte is very small (or way too small for the almost $5).

Only a few pastry options but that's not what this place is about. High end locally roasted coffee and tea is their specialty. It's a little intimidating when you first walk in because of the high end ambiance but the friendly knowledgeable baristas make it welcoming. If you love great quality brewed by the cup coffee, this is the place to go.

The knowledge of the barista and the taste of my coffee reflects my review of 1 Star for Revelator. I asked if any of the beans on their pour over were naturally processed. The response was asking if I wanted to know if any of the beans were dark roasted. I ordered an Ethiopian pour over and the coffee wasn’t attended to throughout the process. The coffee was very sour.

Great ambiance with tasty coffee

Rev on 3rd is my absolute fav coffee house!! Their new manager is top-notch! He's so creative within the store and so caring towards each customer! This is a must-stop shop!
