Crema's Take

Davis Cafe serves the kind of soul food your grandmother would make—real cornbread dressing, smothered pork chops, collard greens—the antithesis of quick-service coffee shop fare, which means you're coming here for a proper sit-down lunch, not a grab-and-go espresso. The industrial, somewhat weathered storefront surrounded by vacant lots might make you nervous, but regulars swear by the authenticity and generosity of the cooking, and the 4.5-star rating from nearly 500 reviews backs them up. Just know it's only open for three hours at lunch, so you'll need to plan accordingly.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Family friendly.

First time in Montgomery in some time and wanted to try a new spot for lunch. Found Davis cafe. Do not be dismayed by the surrounding. The place is surrounded by vacant lots and actually looks like a closed business. Open the door and you are treated to a great menu with some…
