Thanks to all who have voted!

The first batch of Pumpkin Spice cupcakes has arrived at O'Henry's in Homewood and O'Henry's in the Regions/Harbert building. A fall tradition, these cupcakes are made from scratch at our stores. Subtle hints of cinnamon and nutmeg can be tasted in every bite and each cupcake is topped with cream cheese frosting.

They are here for a limited time only, so come on in and try one!

Our other fall favorite, homemade pumpkin bread, will be coming soon.

The Birmingham News and City Scene have once again come out with Birmingham's Best 2009.

Nominations for your favorite coffeehouse can be submitted now through October 5th, 2009. From each category they will select the top five choices and votes will be cast again.

COMING SOON:  The new O’Henry’s Coffees next to Brookwood Mall is less than a month away.  The facility is on the far right side of the nine story office building at 569 Brookwood Village.  It is just to the left of Applebee’s.

          This coffeehouse will be a little larger and feature a fresh lunch menu seven days a week.  It also has a patio and a second story loft inside for private functions, business meetings or lunch groups.

          Espresso drinks will come from a state-of-the-art LaMarzocco GB5 triple group espresso machine.  We will rotate through about 40 different coffees of the day every month.  We roast our own specialty coffee beans at our roasting facility in West Homewood.  Fresh from the oven morning baked goods, a large selection of desserts, frozen drinks and lunch are offered daily.  Birmingham's largest offering of coffees by the pound is found at O’Henry’s.

        We found some fun materials to build into this new location.  The word re-claimed (vs. recycled) comes to mind.  Re-claimed means items that had a prior use are being used again with little or no modification.  Old pine flooring, decades old doors, a maple gym floor used as wainscoting, a stair railing from an old house, newel posts and many other items were incorporated.

          More information, and maybe an opening date, are coming soon.
