Books Beans & Candles MS

Love this place! The staff are sweet and helpful. This shop can be a lot to handle for a newbie but a staff member is usually there to answer all your questions with a smile and positive attitude. They also have delicious drinks which I’m now hooked on. Can’t wait for my next visit.

A magical place for friends. A cornerstone on the Birmingham community, this place is always welcoming and appreciative. Aside from everything in the name which they do very well, they have a pretty robust herb selection if you are in need too. An awesome place to visit or just catch up with friends.

Awesome shop. Friendly staff. Loved the variety of herbs, everything was very reasonably priced. Worth the drive from Montgomery. Will definitely be back!

Love this place. I get all of my brewing needs here

I love this place! All the employees are knowledgeable, kind, and very helpful. I love the owners! I've known them several years now. Always a pleasure shopping here

First off the staff was super helpful and the drinks were delicious. Everything seemed so cared for and thought through. Definitely good energy when you walk in.

This shop has the best coffee in Birmingham, hands down. The tea is excellent too! The staff is amazing and so helpful. There is a wonderful selection of crystals, tarot cards, statues, candles, incense, jewelry, books-- everything for your metaphysical needs. Oh and excellent tarot readers. seriously I love this place 😀

Passed by for the first time today and had an excellent first impression. There's something healing that lingers throughout the walls of this building that is complimented by the warmth of the staff, not to mention the great cup of coffee they made me.

I also had my first tarot reading with Kelli. I was deeply moved by her spiritual transparency and talent. I definitely recommend this experience.

Coffee is very strong. I thought my head was scratching the ceiling after having a regular latte made by Matthew. I kept checking my heart-rate because I thought I might have a heart attack I was so wired LOL. The store is very clean and interesting with many candles, incense, statuary, jewelry and gifts. Free off-street parking as well.

Warm and cozy. Unique collection of books, and many other various items and gifts. Highly recommend.

Loved this place...very eccentric and kinda welcoming (mainly other customers 🤷🏾‍♀ but we'll leave it at that)...appreciated the beautiful art in everything, even down to the Frappuccino! Now...the Lotus was a bit pricey for what you get, but it was available immediately so hey...if you need it quick versus ordering your own in bulk, they've got it. Loved My necklaces I purchased!

I had a great experience. The inside has been rearranged! It looks great. It's so much easier to find things.
I love visiting.

Always such a lovely place to be!! The energy of the place makes you feel calm and at home!! Wonderful coffee and teas and I can always find what I'm looking for when there. My absolute favorite place in the city.

This is home. I don't know anywhere place more welcoming, warm, and like family. I ran out of stars or I'd literally leave more.

The loveliest shop keepers + the yummiest coffee & tea.
Beautiful views of the city from the outside seating areas.

I’m not giving a poor review because we had no issues with the paid staff who was busy chit chatting while we wondered around. It’s a very old historic home with a large collection of herbs, crystals, keepsakes and statues inside. I took no photos out of respect of the “additional staff” that made their presence known while my husband and I visited. Like other reviews have stated, the “additional staff” did have me leaving with an unwelcome feeling so I do warn anyone who doesn’t respect them, to educate yourself before arriving. I honestly would like to know more about the home’s history prior to the opening of the store to understand the “additional staff” more. We purchased several items and are extremely happy with our purchases. Until those items can be cleansed they are in our garage where now a light that hasn’t worked in two years comes on.

It is a lovely little shop with very warm people. It has an atmosphere of peace. Every time we visit this area, we like to pop in and see what is new.

Absolutely wonderful place! The energy outside, and inside is so calming, and genuine. The owner is so lovely, and helpful!

Extremely nice people who work here. Food and drinks taste good and the esthetic of the store. I honestly shop here every chance I get.

Loved this place. Drove from north Al to visit. Almost every item you could want for your practice!. Beautiful old building with great history. Prices were great also. Great selection of herbs books candkes etc. Will be back. Very friendly staff.
