Crema's Take
“This spot pulls people from across Alabama for Chef James's Southern comfort food that actually lives up to the hype—think melt-in-your-mouth roast beef, crispy catfish po'boys, and seasonal specials that have regulars driving hours out of their way. The vibe walks a careful line between a casual grab-and-go spot and a proper sit-down destination, with genuinely attentive service and surprisingly good seating availability. If you're anywhere in the state and haven't eaten here yet, you're missing what locals consider the best meal around.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

If you live anywhere in Alabama, you owe it to yourself to get here. This place is the only reason I stop in this state. You will never have a single bad meal here. Also, doesn’t hurt that chef James is easy on the eyes. But seriously, the sweet tea alone. Mmmm mmm Don’t sleep…
This place is the real deal! We dined in, and the service was fantastic. We had the Sunday Special which was chicken wings, pan fried potato cubes, braised cabbage, and black-eyed peas mixed with okra, all of which were absolutely exquisite. One bite of the food, and it became…
