Birmingham’s coffee shop game just got elevated with the new arrival of Daysol Coffee Lab downtown (2616 3rd Ave. S., Birmingham). This collab between friends Bert Davis and Peter Solis—or “Da Y Sol”—has been a dream in the making after roasting coffee for years without a storefront. “Above all else, we are friends letting coffee do what it has done for centuries, and that is bring people together to share their journeys,” the co-owners share on their website.
Head to the coffee lab in the morning to snag some Ladybird Taco and Bandit pastries. Their space, which was formerly Good People Brewing Co., is spacious and open, with lots of seating options. Daysol’s mission is to craft carefully curated, smooth, and approachable coffees with beans that are roasted in-house. “Don’t let good coffee be a special occasion. DRINK GOOD COFFEE everywhere with Daysol Coffee,” one of their Facebook posts declares. They’re open Mon–Fri from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 p.m. to 4 p.m. You can also find their beans at Bluff Park Coffee Collective. Visit daysolcoffeelab.co or call them at (205) 784-8585 to learn more.
