Punch Love Coffee
4000 3rd Ave S #103, Birmingham, AL
Crema's Take
“Punch Love is an espresso-focused gem in Birmingham's Avondale neighborhood where the baristas genuinely know their craft and take pride in pulling proper flats whites and cappuccinos. Beyond the stellar espresso work, they've carved out a welcoming community space with thoughtfully made pastries and empanadas that keep regulars coming back multiple times a week. It's the kind of place where the staff's warmth and knowledge make you feel like you're part of something special, not just grabbing a quick coffee.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Punch love is a gem of a coffee shop in Avondale area! They make a proper flat white & cappuccino :). The baristas are both super knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend any of the pastries or empanadas if you need a bite to eat. Adding this to my rotation of regular spots!!
Dude… This is easily in the top 5 coffee shops I’ve ever visited. Tim is a barista’s barista, pleasant to talk to, knows his craft and ready to share his excitement about coffee. The espresso was delicious, smooth, fragrant, sweet, not overly acidic or bitter. The other drinks…
My husband liked his black coffee, but my $8.15 butterscotch latte tasted like just coffee with cream, no hint of butterscotch flavor or any sweetness. People inside were nice, but it was way too expensive for a lackluster product. My husband tried mine and didn’t even realize…
Edit to add: my review is still 5 stars. This has become my 2-3x a week morning stop now. The entire staff is so kind and knowledgeable. The empanadas are phenomenal, and my favorite is now the chorizo egg and cheese(with some tapatío of course)! I really can't recommend this…
Adorable coffee spot! I got the "White Chocolate Punchie" which was a frozen coffee slushie. It tasted delicious and was refreshing! Also got a bacon egg and cheese empanada which was just enough to fill me up as well as super tasty. I will definitely be back!
