GENERAL
3813 Clairmont Ave, Birmingham, AL
Crema's Take
“General is a warmly designed neighborhood gem where the vibe feels distinctly Southern and unhurried, making it equally suited for a quick coffee run or lingering over breakfast with friends. Their traditional drinks pair beautifully with housemade pastries and light fare like a standout grilled cheese, while the communal table seating and thoughtful interior design create an inviting space that works just as well for studying or casual meetings as it does for a leisurely weekend brunch.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
