Enjoyed this small southern city urban coffee shop. Has a hipster yuppy vibe. Staff exudes coolness. Atmosphere is spacious in a repurposed building with a neat variety of seating options (counter, couch, 2/4 tops amd big table). Food could use some finese: ie acai bowl needs improved presentation and I was NOT expecting, upon ordering a hot Vietnamese cofee, for her to pull out a pitcher of premade to steam up...part of what makes Vietnamese coffee's character is watching the phin kit filter slowly drip onto the condensed milk in a glass. Also if some plastic use could be phased out (spoons needing to be individually wrapped, asking if "for here" orders need tops) that would be a plus. 7.5/10 would easily hang out or meet-up here over food/drinks if in town again. Nice neighborhood feel and is on the right track.

Great coffee and great staff. I am celiac and ordered a byob and didn’t realize it included granola. When I got my food I told the staff I didn’t order granola and that I am celiac and they quickly offered to remake it for me. As someone with this disease I greatly appreciate companies that understand how serious it is for me and they were so fast and friendly to accommodate! I will be back for sure!

Absolutely amazing coffee with staff that really seem to care. I also love their specialty coffee beans for making coffee in my own home. Super nice place to sit and get work done. I wish they’d add a bike rack outside, as this is the perfect place to bike to!

Best coffee shop in Tuscaloosa! I love their vanilla latte! Also just a great place to study with comfortable chairs, plenty of light, and lots of room at each table. Will be coming back again and again!!
Updating to say I still love Turbo, and their Breakfast Bronco sandwich is SO GOOD!!

Pretty cool place. Docking a star because they charge for refills of the regular old nothing-special drip coffee which is honestly a little strange for this type of shop. That means it makes less sense to hang out over a long work session. That said, nifty location and nice atmosphere.
