My favorite coffee shop in birmingham! The owner Jeremy and all the staff are so down to earth and friendly. Coffee is top notch. Plenty of space to sit and relax, chat, or work. Love the empanadas too. I’m always trying to avoid plastic cups and so I like that they can serve for here drinks in a glass/mug and also have option to put the drink in your own reusable cup. They also have kids games in the upstairs space and so it’s a good place to bring kids too. And some books including a local Birmingham based collection as well as a little library. This place is a foundation of five points and I encourage everyone to go here, support the place, and enjoy!

Despite there being a long line, I still got everything I ordered in a timely manner. Nothing was rushed, everything was perfect...especially these blueberry muffins. You KNOW it's a good muffin when you bite into it and you get actual, tart blueberries and not some blueberry flavored jelly. I was blown away.

Best coffee in town, for real. Nice space inside to work or read, and staff are very welcoming. Try the latte - straight without added flavour to taste how good the coffee is. I went out of my way to try the coffee here - didn't regret it one bit.

Some of the best coffee/tea/pastries I’ve ever had. Jeremy is crafting an incredible coffee shop here (and one of the very few open on a Sunday morning in Birmingham, at that). 11/10 would drink tea every day if it always tasted like this.

Stepping into FILTER Coffee Parlor in Birmingham feels like entering a thoughtful, art-infused café that balances community and quality with ease. Located in Five Points South in the space that once housed a Starbucks, FILTER brings new character and purpose to its corner of town.  The coffee here is genuinely impressive. Whether you order a straightforward latte or one of their signature drinks like the Lavender Blossom or Salted Butterscotch, the balance is there—flavorful but not overdone.  Their pour-overs frequently draw praise, with notes of cacao nibs, black cherry, and cashew coming through on daily roasts.

My husband got the Orange Bliss Cioccolato coffee and I got the Hibiscus Berry Herbal tea. Delicious! Thank you Jeremy and Michael!

I went here to study the other weekend and was not disappointed! The spinach and feta quiche and the vanilla latte were outstanding. Also there is plenty of seating for studying upstairs and downstairs. I also loved that they were displaying art from a local high school in the upstairs space. I will definitely be back to the other latte and pastry options!

COZY! I am not from here, I stopped by here because I love coffee. Originally from Orlando and for vacation I am spending it in Alabama before life stirs me away from enjoying it. The service was quick and easy. I appreciate the patience as I was also unfamiliar with the menu being that places offer different types of coffee and I never looked over it before hand. I see why there’s allot of locals here, it’s very inviting.

I love Filter. It is my go-to place to get a good coffee. I have never, ever, had a bad coffee here. The atmosphere is nice and they have everything a good coffee shop downtown needs: good coffee, great service, free WiFi, free parking, and good baked goods. I will always recommend stopping by for a good drink or caffeine fix.
