C's Cake & Coffee House

My wife and I decided to visit this coffee house before departing from Montevallo after College Night, since we have never been there and wanted to get something to drink. As we were on our way to order, I noticed the store was also selling Savoiardi (Italian biscuits best known in the US as ladyfingers) and even Italian moka pots. When I mentioned to the couple who owns the shop that I am from Italy, I almost could not believe what they told me: one of them is Italian as well! I never expected to end up having a nice chat in my native language somewhere in the middle of Alabama, but here we are. We met fantastic people there, and (bonus!) their hot chocolate and frappe were outstanding!
PS: I brought two bags of the Savoiardi home; I can confirm they are the real deal, could not tell the difference from the ones sold in Italy!

Super friendly staff and the coffee was delicious!!! Thank you guys so much!!

Great coffee shop. We had breakfast including an egg breakfast sandwich, an avocado toast and mmm-mmm good! Especially the apple cinnamon muffins!

Lovely little coffee shop with a variety of drinks and food options.
Edit: there was a bright green hair in my drink I had to pull out of my mouth, one of the workers has this color hair. I wish they took sanitary precautions more seriously. Also did not take COVID masking seriously in heavy pandemic times, so I cannot believe your food and drinks are going to be hairless or germless.

Nice coffee house atmosphere, many varieties of tasty sandwiches at an affordable $5 price, desserts looked wonderful but didnt get a chance to try this time and most importantly good coffee! I will definitely be back.

Excellent food & service. Will definitely go back again. Their tomato basil soup & grilled cheddar was perfect for the cold weather. And my husband really enjoyed their Cuban sandwich.

Great coffee, dessert, and sandwich shop. Food is delicious and fresh. Love their signature coffees. Delicious take home freezer meals. Atmosphere is wonderful. Owner and staff are wonderful and kind. We love it here!

Decided to come back and revisit my first review of C’s. Since visiting the fist time and having a not-so-great experience, I decided to give them a second...and third...and fourth chance. Wow. I have made several “special” trips here to enjoy the salads and baked goods, and have even bought the white lasagne several times to take home and cook myself. Seems I’ve become very recognizable every time I come in, and I appreciate the personal attention...but most of all, I have come to love love love this place. Staff is outstanding and accommodating, and the food has jumped way up in quality AND quantity. Really enjoy you guys! I’ll be there often!! Very highly recommended.

A new and eclectic little coffee shop in has HUGE potential to be THE best local gathering place in the area. Today was my first visit; sadly I was very disappointed. Approaching the quaint house and entering was very inviting and interesting. Looked like a place to stay and while and enjoy. Upon entering the small kitchen area where everything is displayed and made, I became super impressed. Then enter the two baristas on duty...one in training. The one that waited on me was obviously the experienced one, and copped an attitude as if I had interrupted her day. Almost put me off to the point of leaving. And the trainee wasn’t much better, catching on to what she had obviously observed. Paid more than $11 for a latte, an americano pour over, and a piece of coffee cake that was reeeaalllyy good, though slightly old. The coffee was absolutely terrible...more like coffee flavored tea. And no one said thank you at the end of the transaction...except me, trying to be nice. The food looked amazing...the pastries looked beautiful too. I will come back...the real test will come in a couple more visits and trying the chicken salad and something else from the coffee bar. “Spectacular,” as the owner is quoted from the “Shelby Review,” not even close. But there’s HUGE potential...if she’ll teach her baristas some manners and skill, or hire some with a shared passion for a spectacular experience.

The cold brew and Americano here are delicious. The muffin we had was very good and I loved the atmosphere. This will definitely be a place that I stop by and get some work done while I enjoy a coffee every week.

This cozy little place is so severely understated, their food is not only fantastic but their coffee is AMAZING!!! They have so much more to choose from than just coffee or cake and their customer service should be sought after by every customer service member anywhere!!! They will always be my first recommendation to friends and family or anyone visiting Montevallo, Alabama.
