“De vez en cuando, hace falta darse un gustito y por eso voy a la Nueva Michoacana. Me encantan las aguas que preparan ahí. Ven y compruébalo.“

“This place is great. They had 18 serious chocolate based flavors. And of course you can have a taste or two to help you pick. $4 for a single scoop when I was there but that’s the going rate and the quality was great. I posted a picture of the chocolates.“

“Really good. I got the cold brew and the cookies and cream. My first time getting anything from them and it was delicious. The lady serving there was sweet. They do have some dairy free options. Next time I want to try their watermelon flavor.“

“Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great food as a meal or charcuterie board“

“We walked up right at closing time and we were reading the menu and hours on the door. The owner opened the door and offered to serve us, 5 of us. The churros were amazing and the service was exceptional. I’m only in Birmingham every few weeks- but will be stopping by each time for a treat! Thank you going out of your way to let us try your amazing churros!“

“A sweet friend dropped off a box of the most delicious, incredible, scrumptious pastries that I have ever eaten!!!!!!
My son was visiting and the two of us said that we hadn’t ever tasted anything like these homemade bakery goods.
I had considered hiding some of them away so that he wouldn’t eat them all when I wasn’t looking.
These are the things that dreams are made of!

“My first impressions were this is a very nice environment. Bright, open, airy and organized. I was excited to try the confetti cake bcuz I'd seen it at the Vestavia Hills location, but they were sold out of them. I'm not a regular customer so I wasn't sure if this cake was their first roll-out of large, shareable desserts. Anyway the cake was presented to me before it was boxed up and I was satisfied with its appearance. I finally tried some later on at home and was surprised that it tasted like a fine dusting of cornstarch was present on it. I mean, that's the first thing that came to mind. The cake had a large crumb like a box cake would. Overall, I was somewhat disappointed but I chalked it up to it being cold, as they keep certain desserts refrigerated. The baker did tell me the cake was brushed with condensed milk, which isn't a bad thing. It adds another layer of flavor and moisture. Well, at this point, I put the cake in the cabinet overnight. The next day, it tasted way better! I gave half of it away, and finished my piece. I can't wait until the strawberry shortcake rotates back around.“

“An Absolutely Amazingly, Freshly prepared, Gelato or Sorbet Popsicle, on a Stick.....dipped in chocolate and toppings for a unique experience....You MUST try the multitude of FRESH flavors...Enjoy!“

“Yummy desserts and excellent customer service!“

“After my first experience with Cookie Fix, I have to say that I am officially obsessed. I fear I will dream about these cookies. I only had a chocolate chip cookie, and let me tell you I know for a fact that I will be driving the drive to this place the SECOND a craving hits. If I could adopt that cookie, I would. Absolutely give Cookie Fix a try if you catch a vibe for a sweet treat.“

“Great food and a great atmosphere along with speedy service-what more does anyone need??“

“Oh yeah this the spot right here. I greeted the folks up front and they were patient with explaining what things were and even offered me another option even though I was content. I appreciate that education!

I waited about 10 minutes for my food and it was so pleasant when I got it! The presentation, the temperature, the quality… I really enjoyed that food. And it didn’t get really messy. The fries oowee, weren’t over salted either. And the tenderness and crisp of the catfish was exactly as it needed to be.

Can’t forget about the collard greens. They were a good balance between bitter and tart and then sweet. I haven’t had greens like that in a minute and it was a pleasant surprise.

Thank y’all and I look forward to returning one day.

This place is located in a food hall, so you even have the option to sit in other places and see screens with tv showings, or combining another restaurant’s food together with your meal.

Vegetarian options: Their collard greens are good.“

“Atmosphere was good, service was quick. Decent burger but nothing extraordinary.“

“Decided to take a last minute trip to Birmingham this weekend and wanted to try this place. Can’t recommend them enough! The customer service was phenomenal and automatically makes you want to go back. And to top it off, the cookies were so fresh and warm. Absolutely a place I will be visiting. Your day time employees deserve a raise! 😜“
