The Red Cat @ Railroad Park

Great cat themed lattes. Great place to spend the afternoon working. Just need a resident feline to complete the ambiance!

Stopped by while on a work trip and had a lovely lunch. Staff were friendly and the vibe was perfect for working, studying, or chatting. Right across the street from Railroad Park if you fancy a post-lunch stroll. Will definitely be back in my future travels.

Quick service and friendly staff! They serve breakfast all day: I recommend their crissoant sandwiches, perfectly buttery and flakey.

Liked the environment. The staff was nice and knowledgeable of the coffee. The coffee is roasted in house and is exceptional. In addition, the prices were very reasonable. I haven't tried the espresso there, but it's well priced and having discussed the type of beans with the employees, it seems to me like the espresso would be much better than much anywhere else.

Edit: I just had the espresso and it was absolutely brilliant. Staff is super nice. 10/10 will return. Can't speak for the pastries or whatever snacks they have though.

Really good coffee, really BAD service! I visited Red Cat this morning at 7:40 am and it was moderately busy with about 10-12 customers. I ordered and paid at 7:44 am (two iced coffees and a breakfast burrito). I received my iced coffees at 7:57am and waited patiently for my burrito. With no check ins from the staff, I continued to wait but became anxious that maybe my burrito was forgotten about. I checked my payment to ensure I paid for a burrito and I did. Around 8:15, I asked a server about my order because I saw others that entered after me receive full orders. The server went to check and returned saying the cook was starting on my order next. That is outrageous to me that a food order was being started on 30 minutes after being ordered. I finally received my order at 8:30am, with no remorse or apology from the staff about the wait. I have visited this location several times and I’ve never experienced anything like this. The nonchalance from the staff was the most disappointing part of the entire experience.

Love the lattes, the Gouda grits (YUM) and the crepes are really good too when they have them. A little small for dining in, but outside has great table options for outdoor dining.

Great little Coffee spot, I’d say they rival StarBucks 😊

Just moved to Alabama and glad we tried this spot! My husband got a sandwich and I got the grits with their pumpkin choco chip muffin- ahhhmazing! Service was nice too. Will definitely return again.

Very busy place which is commendable. Food was good but seems premade or prepped and not fresh. I ordered 2 coffees, one medium and one large. They gave me 2 mediums. I asked and the young lady but she assured me that it was a large even though the cups were the same size. I didn't argue but this has happened to me before at this location.
My advice is to double check your order and be very specific with the details. They couldn't get a large black coffee to go correct. Just saying.

Great afternoon (anytime) coffee place! Baristas are friendly & knowledgeable! Swing by when in downtown BHM!!
