This location of Refuge offered pour overs, unlike the other location. Their coffee was balanced and good but did not have any vibrant tasting notes.

Whether you have an espresso and milky drink or a simple black coffee you simply cant go wrong at Refuge. Best coffee in the area by a long shot! I suggest a cappuccino.

Great find in the heart of Fairhope…excellent coffee - barista was great. Flavor of the coffee was amazing - if you are looking for a good cup of coffee and enjoy it in a comfortable and welcoming environment - Refuge Coffee needs to be at the top of your must visit places!!

Really disappointed with the coffee and the menu options. Coffee didn’t taste good, and they had very few options. They were also out of the few flavors they had! When we came in the staff wasn’t very welcoming either. As someone who worked in a cafe, it’s upsetting to see easy and basic drinks not on the menu! The overall vibe of the store was really cute and cozy, but the coffee itself could be improved! I hope to come back and have a better experience next time and hope some small changes are made to improve this cute cafe!

Very good coffee. Got their signature Honey Cinnamon .... it was creamy, sweet but not overly so and loved the overall experience. Definitely recommend this place for a nicely and well done cup of coffee.

Hip, modern vibe with artisinal roasted coffees and drinks for on-site and to-go. I purchased some beans for at-home brewing and a wicked cool hat. Nice little jewel right in the heart of Fairhope - a breath of fresh air of a town on our travels along the Floribama coast.

I was a bit disappointed after stopping by today. The coffee was way too sweet even though I had him put about half the amount of sweetener in it. I complained and he offered no solutions, didnt sympathize even. Felt like there was little to no customer service there. The place was not cozy either. I had to try at least once, but I dont think Ill be back any time soon. Its a shame. The alternative milks offered they charge 75 cents extra for. I was charged close to $6 for this overly sweet oat milk latte. I usually pay less than $5 for a latte.

We enjoyed delicious iced lattes several times during our stay in the farehope area staff was welcoming and the coffee was fantastic!

Im not sure I will ever give a coffee shop five stars on just their coffee/drinks simply because of the prices. I would give this shop 3 1/2 stars, but that isnt an option. They do, however, deserve more than three stars, so I will give them four. I asked the barista to recommend a coffee, and he recommended a drink called The Signature – a latte with honey and cinnamon. It was great! The coffee was small, though. The barista didnt ask me what size I wanted, so there may only be one size.

Very good coffee and service. A very cozy and friendly place.

Coffee and service was excellent. Atmosphere top notch. For those pissing and moaning about the price or being too sweet..there is a Shell station at Greeno and Fairhope Ave that has cheap coffee. While your are there..print out your reviews..roll them up real tight…and cramit

Really awesome coffee shop :) they don’t have a lot on menu but their coffee doesn’t need to add anything else to taste good. ❤️

Really great coffee and awesome service!

I absolutely love the vibe in this place. Servings are a little small but delish.

Tried their delicious lavender latte made by Micah this morning. It is absolutely delicious. Thank you for the friendly service Micah. God bless.Rich and Rose

Delicious cortado, delicious drip coffee, delicious banana bread, knowledgeable staff. Cant wait to come back!

I’ve never had a better cold brew, mocha OR macchiato. If you’re serious about coffee, Refuge Coffee is the best. Their coffee is very smooth, not bitter in the slightest! Owner is a very nice, honest, Jesus loving man. My family will gladly support them any day.

Over priced coffee, poorly operated, slow service. You know the type place that treats the customer as an afterthought? Nailed it!

Tried Refuge today for coffee. The girl who took my order and made my drink, spent more time on her phone texting then making my drink. Could had been out sooner and a hot latta if she just worked

Best long black I’ve had in the states! Did not disappoint! Loved it! Defender espresso all the way!

Prices are a little high, but a wealth of high-quality drinks are available. If you go to Starbucks for coffee-centric drinks, go here instead. Its the same price for better quality.

I was very excited to order the macchiato knowing it was made traditionally. It was super good! Their iced americano was very good too. Nice atmosphere and very clean inside :3

Great atmosphere! Simple decor, minimal menu, but good coffee.

Refuge is easily one of my favorite coffee shops on the Eastern Shore. Their coffee and espresso is always just right. Great attention to detail when pulling shots. If you like Italian style espresso and third wave coffee, this is the place for you!

Great coffee! My favorite is The Signature! Try it iced with almond milk. Yum!

Always a great place for excellent coffee and tea. Super staff!

Great presentation, atmosphere, and pricing. Highly recommend.

Nice downtown coffe bar with a few snacks. Blueberry muffins, scones and various baked goods.

This spot is great for impromptu meetings and small gatherings. They offer and quiet and relaxing atmosphere to gather your thoughts. I would highly recommend The Signature iced coffee with honey and cinnamon, the cold brew with milk or the mocha latte. Always a delicious treat. The muffins are amazing also. :)

Nice environment, great coffee! Definitely a fan of this place.

Fabulous coffee AAOMS amazing service! I love visiting here when I’m in town!!

Great craft coffee, knowedgable long time staff at both locations.

Good coffee, even though they do not serve blended drinks only over ice or hot. The service was great

Best expression I have ever had!

Not very friendly and the cold brew was terrible.

This place is amazing and they also serve hot chocolate, and the hot chocolate was 10 out of 10

My husband loves their freshly roasted beans!

I ordered a coconut latte from the barista, Haley. Great experience

Best Coffee in Fairhope. No debate! From the Mach1 to the Lavender Latte...they got it covered

A sweet and simple Vibe. This coffee shop is very reminiscent of the Kopi cafes you find in Bali. It was a wonderful and inviting space to spend the day working. The pour over was and the coffee truly divine. The music selection was perfect. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

The Long dark cup of coffee was exceptionally tasty but small. The workers were friendly, quick to serve and willing to answer all of our questions. Our only complaint is cost but that seems to be characteristic of all coffee shops.

Super good. great cause!

Best espresso in Fairhope.

The barista matt was such a pleasure as always

Had not been in there for awhile and forgot how good their coffee tastes. Only bad thing is they dont have Decaf for the milk type coffees such as a Latte. Bummer for us folks that cant do caffeine in the afternoons.

Very pleasant staff. The blueberry muffins were delicious with real blueberries. I had an iced tumeric and ginger tea which was excellent

Excellent Third Wave coffee shop. If you want a drink that expresses the subtle qualities of coffee and one of the best espresso shots in your life then come on by. Dont expect to get a big sweet drink though!

I love the expresso iced coffee with almond milk it was delicious 😋

I love the honey cappuccino! Amazingly addictive! Love visiting this quaint coffee shop. Great service and delicious variety of coffee.

I stopped in here on my way to visit my Mom in Mobile, Alabama. This was a cute place and the staff was friendly. They helped me pick out coffee beans to go for my husband. I paid 19 dollars plus got an iced coffee to go along with the 12 oz coffee beans. This would be a great place to meet somebody for business or work meeting. Right next to the strip with all the shopping you want. I would come back.

Great coffee shop !!! Quality coffee !!! Friendly staff !! Very accommodating. Great owner and very hospitable!!! Definitely recommend - also spotless and clean and an inviting aroma.

Absolutely delicious coffee spot on downtown Fairhope! Garrett helped us and suggested the signature drink, it was delicious! Awesome customer service and a great atmosphere.

Refuge Coffee is one of our very favorite places to meet up with friends and enjoy some of the most delicious coffee around! I highly recommend Refuge Coffee!

Absolutely the best at what they do. Warning, all other coffee will taste far less flavorful. I usually order an espresso with an Americano to go, every drop is pure coffee perfection.

I say this without any pretense or hyperbole: Refuge Coffee in Fairhope, Alabama, makes the best espresso that I’ve ever had, anywhere in the world.

Great coffee and great atmosphere

I wouldnt say its great, but I would say its incredible. I look forward to their coffee every time I visit here.

Friendly staff. Great coffee. Great prices!

This is a great little coffee shop to visit in downtown Fairhope. I stopped into this coffee shop to do some work for about an hour while I was in Fairhope for Thanksgiving this week.There are plenty of seating options to choose from inside ranging from couches, tables, high tops and a couple individual chairs near the windows at the front of the coffee shop. The coffee shop has a subtle hipster vibe to the overall appearance and atmosphere.They have a very simple menu, but enough options to suit the needs of any coffee lovers taste buds! I ordered their signature latte called, the “Signature”, which has local honey and cinnamon blended into the latte. It was light in flavor with a hint of sweetness from the honey. The barista who took my order recommended this drink to me. Im glad I ordered it, because I could drink this all the time if I lived down here! The price tag on this drink was $4.96 which included tax. Expect to pay anywhere from $3-$6 depending on what drink you order.The baristas were very quick and professional with serving their customers. There were about 6 people in front of me and only two baristas working. I had my drink within a couple minutes after ordering which was very much appreciated. I will definitely stop into this coffee shop again when I am down in Fairhope! ALWAYS SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES WHENEVER YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY! Keep up the great work you guys.

I thought I knew every local coffee shop on the Eastern Shore. Turns out I didnt! Discovered this place by accident walking around downtown Fairhope. The vibe/industrial decor in here is incredible. Love the variety of seating for creative work (stand up and sit down tables, couches, etc.), the Christian mission, and the smooth espresso! Adding it to my list of favorite coffee shop finds of the year. If youre looking for a more purist coffee house that really knows coffee, this should be on your hangout list!

Great coffee. They also do small batch roasting so for a real treat try some of their freshly roasted beans in your home pour-over.

Hip coffee place in downtown Fairhope. Werent offering pour over coffee because of the art show but the espresso was quality. Clean, chill, and friendly service.

Best coffee Ive ever had.

If you’re looking for a quality coffee, this is your spot. No frills, simple little spot. Arguably, the best coffee in Fairhope!

Best craft coffee Ive had in my whole life! Also its an incredible place to relax and have a good conversation

Come for good coffee, not a caramel half caf coconut milk macchiato.

Excellently brewed coffee. You wouldnt expect getting this kind of quality coffee outside a major city. Our favorite place to get a shot!

The espresso is good.

Coffee with a cause! Driven by missions! Gotta love that.

Pricey with a limited selection, but definitely hand-crafted.

Love this place. If I am in town on a weekday I am at the Refuge in the morning.

Coffee is decent

Tiny town with BIG coffee. Go and try a signature if you want a treat. Can’t go wrong with a cappuccino or latte with an extra shot to put some pep in your step.

Great coffee and atmosphere! Try the Gibraltar!

Hipster third wave coffee shop. Great selection with pour overs and lates.

Coffee was good but could use some more comfortable seating.

I wasn’t a coffee drinker until I had their chocolate latte - great flavor and no bitterness. I met someone from Austria who has traveled the world over and she claims Refuge has the 2nd best coffee after her Austrian favorite.

Great atmosphere (super clean and modern), staff was super friendly, and the coffee was delicious!

Great brews. Music is a little loud sometimes. Good vibes though.

It was pretty good coffee. I did not have any of the desserts though.

The most artful and tasty coffee you can get in the south!

This little coffee shop is amazing. I highly recommend their cappuccinos!

Refuge is the best shop Ive been to! 10/10 would reccommend for anyone looking for high quality(and beautiful) craft coffee in fairhope! The super-friendly and hospitable baristas have always been willing to adjust the music volume or anything else for a comfortable and productive atmosphere. They passionately focus on the quality and the region of the coffee itself over additives that mask those beautiful flavors, and offer a wide array of espresso drinks as well as specialty pour-over coffees in several methods. I always feel welcome to ask about anything I may be curious about and usually learn a thing or two about this delightful craft!

Amazing coffee, relaxing atmosphere, stellar baristas

The coffee is fantastic, and the owner does a great job of sourcing roasts from a variety of places. However, some the staff has a tendency to be unhelpful and a little snobbish.

Great place! Delicious coffee for the morning!

Excellent!

Amazing coffee. Check this place out

Great coffee, nice atmosphere....sometimes music too loud for conversation

Delicious Coffee and focused hard working staff!
