From Pop-Up to Permanent: A Journey of Flavor
Whammy Coffee is not just your run-of-the-mill café. Early on, it started as a humble pop-up shop and e-commerce venture right here in Birmingham. Over time, they’ve wowed coffee enthusiasts at bustling local spots like Pepper Place and Ore Mercantile. Now, they’re thrilled to announce that their first permanent location will be in The Denham Building, a beautifully redeveloped space that promises to bring a blend of history and modern charm to the neighborhood.
A Global Coffee Experience Awaits
At Whammy, they’re all about quality, and that’s clear in their *global coffee selection*. Expect to savor perfectly brewed coffee sourced from beautiful locations like Costa Rica, Mexico, and Ethiopia. But that’s not all—they’ll be serving up scrumptious pastries and delightful seasonal drink specials to tickle your taste buds and add a little sweetness to your day. Whether you’re after a classic latte or a creative seasonal concoction, Whammy has something to please every coffee aficionado.
Building a Community Hub
The owners, Mitch and Maddie McEver, both proud Samford University alumni, have poured their passion into creating a fun and inviting community space. The Denham Building was chosen not just for its stunning historical character but also for its excellent location near UAB and in a rapidly developing neighborhood. Whammy aims to be more than just a coffee shop; they want to foster a warm community atmosphere where friends can gather, meet new people, and enjoy their shared love for coffee.
A Touch of Whimsy with Every Cup
Known for their playful and light-hearted branding, Whammy Coffee is committed to bringing a smile to your face. They’re introducing a quirky and fun tradition: with every coffee bag sold, you’ll receive a charming miniature toy dinosaur. This touch adds a bit of whimsy and makes your morning pick-me-up feel even more special. Who knew coffee could be so much fun?
A Historical Touch in a Modern World
The Denham Building itself has quite the backstory. Originally constructed as a warehouse in the late 1920s, it has undergone a transformation and now serves as a vibrant hub for local businesses. Whammy Coffee joins a thriving community of establishments set to enliven this historically rich area.
