This place is amazing and the coffee is to die for! It's small on the inside but it's very cozy. Strange Brew is an awesome addition to The Strip and Tuscaloosa! It's only been open since yesterday yet it's packed! So glad for the business owners! Roll Tide! 🐘

Great little coffee ☕️ shop. Cute atmosphere. The staff was friendly!
I got a sausage ball... But it was cold, so I asked them to heat it up. They did.. it was still cold. So I'm not entirely sure their microwave works. Also the fact that they have to microwave the food is a little concerning. But I feel like if you pay for a sausage ball you should at least get it warm I did not.

A wonderfully “Strange” and quirky Coffee Shop. You gotta try the King Cake and the Sausage Balls (nice kick!)

Great time at opening of new Strange Brew in Tuscaloosa. This place is awesome. Best coffee in Alabama. Knowledgeable & friendly staff wonderful pastries & cookies. If you are in town be sure to stop by and be amazed.

This place is a great addition to Tuscaloosa!! The blueberry cake was DELICIOUS. My Drunk Squirrel (hazelnut and kahlua flavored) latte was well-balanced — not overly sweet, but you can totally taste the flavors and the coffee. Lots of flavors and snacks to choose from, and a great “Specialty Drinks” menu. Staff was also super friendly and helpful! I’ve even heard whispers that they may soon be open late-night, which Tuscaloosa desperately needs :)

Uniquely good coffee, good prices, & good service.

Usually get plain coffee, but have had their baked goods. The coffee tasted unique, obviously having been a special blend. Prices were cheaper than Starbucks for coffee. The baked goods taste freshly made, and are unique takes on baked goods you find in coffee shops.

The people at the counter are always polite and quick.

I tried this place opening weekend and greatly enjoyed my latte. There were other drinks on the menu that I wanted to try, so I came back the next weekend.
I ordered the albino rhino, which is labeled as a cold brew made with their blueberry coffee and the flavors of their albino squirrel drink (white chocolate and hazelnut). When I asked about milk, I was told that it would not come with added dairy, and I could ask for some. I declined and waited for my drink to be made.
Very quickly after I ordered my drink was announced, which was surprising as to how busy they were. The drink I was handed basically looked like an iced latte, and when I asked if this was correct I was told by a different person that all their specialty drinks come with milk unless told otherwise. I was taken back by this, as I was expecting a cold brew-like drink. They were nice enough to remake it, and I asked for just an albino squirrel latte instead because I had lost my desire to try the albino rhino.
While I was happy they remade my drink, this latte is maybe half as good as the one last week.
The idea of this place is great and they have a lot of great drink options, but I might recommend waiting a few weeks to visit until they have worked out all their quirks. Right now the wait is very long, many drinks were made incorrectly, and not all the workers are fully trained on the products. I also think if they would put customer names on their drinks like other coffee shops and not their drink names, order pick up would be a lot smoother.

Strange has a great atmosphere and neat drinks. It took a little bit to grow on me, but eventually, I figured out that their over-the-top sweet drinks are where this place really shines. So far, their espresso hasn't been anything to write home about. However, if you're looking to recapture the sticky-sweet joy of trying starbucks for the first time, strange is the place to go.

I am so excited to see that this space is now a coffee place. I went for the first time tonight and it was amazing. The staff were all so welcoming friendly, and helpful. I got a blueberry cold brew with oatmilk and it was delicious. They are also so dog friendly (treats + pup cups). Would definitely recommend!!

Interesting new coffee shop in a great location. Has a lot of potential, but it still has a lot to figure out regarding the layout and actual coffee service.

Once they get things figured out in a month or two, it should be a nice addition to the strip.
