Primavera is a specialty coffee roaster in Birmingham, Al. We roast our coffee by hand daily in a 15 kilo, gas-fired roaster. At Primavera, our goal is to purchase, roast, and deliver the finest coffee available. Along the way, we hope to help each of our customers see a clearer picture of the world of working hands from ground to grind. Our coffee will awaken your senses. Our mission is to awaken your sensibilities.
We roast all our coffees right here in our Cahaba Heights shop, where the friendly staff are also available to answer any questions you may have about coffee—from the production methods we use to ensure that our coffee surpasses all expectations, to the techniques you can use at home to brew the freshest, most excellent possible coffee.

Monday-Friday: 6:30 am to 6:00pm.

Sundays we are closed.
Location
Last Thursday night the Primavera posse again descended upon Atlanta’s Octane Coffee Bar & Lounge to participate in another Thursday Night Throwdown. We are happy to relate that once again our proprietor, Mr. Brett Burton, edged out the competition with a beautiful traditional rosetta latte to take first place. We are equally proud to announce that another of our baristas, Mr. Brian Wilson, took home second place this time! He poured a more modern hybrid tulip pattern which was scored just shy of first. As if this was not enough, the top five was closed off by Urban Standard barista and Primavera Coffee Academy graduate Ms. Jane Brock. Congratulations to everyone else who participated as well!
We will be closed Friday 4 July to celebrate Independence Day with good food, leisurely time spent with friends and family, and hopefully some fireworks.
Should you find yourself in a bean emergency, remember that many of our coffees are available in 12 ounce bags at the Whole Foods on 280.
Our normal hours will resume on Saturday 5 July at 8:00 am. Enjoy the holiday!
In February of 1997, Ken Davids & Ron Walters collaborated to form Coffee Review, with the goal of serving as an expertly produced educational resource about fine coffees. It has since become the most respected coffee buying guide in the world. As they put it:
The concept was simple: conduct blind, expert cuppings of coffees and report the findings in the form of 100-point reviews, much like those that exist in the wine industry. […] Our goal at the Coffee Review is to entertain and educate coffee drinkers, food service professionals, and the coffee trade with a credible and easy-to-use coffee guide based on objective, blind reviews from some of the most experienced individuals in the specialty coffee industry.
-About Coffee Review
This month, we were privileged to have one of our personal favorites reviewed—our Kenya AA Estate Gituto, which received 93 out of the total 100 points. From a blind cupping of the coffee, the following tasting notes were recorded:
Exquisitely lyric aroma: flowers, tart cherry, honey, a suggestion of milk chocolate. In the cup sweet acidity and continued meadowy flower and flowering grass notes, honey, tart cherry, all of which carry into a delicate but ringing finish.
