I would rather spend my money at a smaller coffee house than at somewhere like Starbucks. Strange Brew has amazing drinks friendly staff and the possibility to have a quiet coffee date. They’re snack cakes were perfection. I look forward to going each and every week.

So glad we’ve got this joint in Tuscaloosa (and now one in Northport too). They’ve got great coffee, friendly service, and good treats. Being located on the Strip might pose problems for accessibility during certain times of year, but even then it can be a chill place to relax.

Best coffee shop in Tuscaloosa! They have something for everybody- coffee, energy drinks, shakes, bakery items, and ice cream! The interior is fresh and cozy, and there is also outdoor seating if you prefer. The baristas are always polite and hard working. I go once or twice a week and have never had a bad experience. And the coffee is DELICIOUS. Miles better than Starbucks! My go-to is the albino rhino, with blueberry cold brew. You can really taste the blueberry flavor.

This place is a great addition to Tuscaloosa!! The blueberry cake was DELICIOUS. My Drunk Squirrel (hazelnut and kahlua flavored) latte was well-balanced — not overly sweet, but you can totally taste the flavors and the coffee. Lots of flavors and snacks to choose from, and a great “Specialty Drinks” menu. Staff was also super friendly and helpful! I’ve even heard whispers that they may soon be open late-night, which Tuscaloosa desperately needs 🙂

I rarely give places a 5/5 stars, but this place most certainly earned it! The baristas were honest about which drinks would accommodate my preferences, they were very helpful and provided quick service. The rainy day latte tasted just like a werthers, and the price was super cheap compared to most coffee shops, especially for the amount of late given. The aesthetics were calming and interesting without being overwhelming. It was one of cleanest coffee shops I have been to in a long time, and smelled amazing. I just wish I would have gotten something to eat!

I came in to get some coffee and their flavors didn’t disappoint! I like the variety and unique flavors they offer, I like coffee and i have a sweet tooth and this place is my perfect happy place haha
Unfortunately, the place is tiny and busy I’m not sure if I’ll ever try to work there unless it’s a weekday i might.
Definitely will come back to try more flavors.

Great little coffee ☕️ shop. Cute atmosphere. The staff was friendly!
I got a sausage ball… But it was cold, so I asked them to heat it up. They did.. it was still cold. So I’m not entirely sure their microwave works. Also the fact that they have to microwave the food is a little concerning. But I feel like if you pay for a sausage ball you should at least get it warm I did not.

I had a fantastic experience at Strange Brew thanks to Stacie, one of the baristas there. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. You can tell she truly cares about the customers — she remembered my order after just one visit and made great recommendations. Her positive energy created such a warm, inviting atmosphere that made me want to stay longer. Strange Brew is lucky to have someone like Stacie behind the counter. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Strange Brew is such a gem, especially if you’re a college student at UA! It’s within easy walking distance, making it the perfect spot to grab a coffee before class or settle in for a study session. The menu has so many great options—not just coffee, but also energy drinks and a surprisingly solid lunch selection. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic latte, a fun seasonal drink, or something with an extra caffeine kick, they’ve got you covered.
The vibe is super cozy and welcoming, with plenty of seating and a great atmosphere to hang out or get work done. Definitely one of my go-to spots in town!
