This new coffee haven will be nestled in the historical Denham Building, located at the corner of 12th Street and First Avenue South, right in the lively Parkside District and just a hop away from the scenic Railroad Park.
A Little Background on Whammy Coffee
Founded in 2022 by the dynamic duo of Mitch and Maddie McEver, Whammy Coffee initially started as a charming pop-up at Pepper Place, where they brewed up fantastic coffee and sold locally roasted beans online. Their light-hearted approach to coffee quickly gained a loyal following, and it’s clear that Birmingham’s coffee enthusiasts can’t wait for this new chapter to begin.
What to Expect at the New Location
The Whammy Coffee team is busy preparing to serve not just their well-loved coffee, but also a delightful selection of pastries and seasonal drink specials that are sure to tantalize taste buds. If you’re a fan of trying unique and global coffee flavors, you’re in for a treat! Whammy specializes in sourcing beans from around the world, including vibrant flavors from Costa Rica, Mexico, and Ethiopia. It’s a coffee journey waiting to happen right in your neighborhood!
And here’s a quirky twist you won’t want to miss: every bag of Whammy Coffee you buy will come with a fun little dinosaur toy. This playful touch reflects the brand’s fun-filled vibe and shows the McEvers’ commitment to making coffee not just a beverage but a delightful experience.
The Historic Denham Building
The Denham Building itself has quite a story! Originally opened in 1927 and beautifully remodeled in 2019, it now stands as a space that combines commercial and residential settings, making it a vibrant part of the community. Not only will Whammy Coffee settle into this wonderful building, but it will also join an exciting mix of other businesses and creative spaces, including the Alabama Media Group who moved in during the summer of 2023.
A Perfect Fit for Small Business
The decision to open at The Denham Building was influenced by its rich history, character, and proximity to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The McEvers are thrilled about becoming a part of a community of small business owners in this up-and-coming neighborhood. It’s more than just a coffee shop for them; it’s a way to contribute to the local community, creating a welcoming space where folks can gather and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
