I came here on a Thursday morning around 7:45. At first I thought it was closed because it looked dark inside but then saw someone walk in. The interior is nice with tons of seating! The menu is a printout they have on the counter, I wish there were more menus or a big one on the wall so I could see what they had while waiting in line. I got a yogurt parfait with blueberries and a plain iced latte and it was so good! Next time I'll try something seasonal and special but I'll definitely be coming back! This place definitely has a cozy feeling.

- Ambiance/Vibe: The location was in a nice little spot with great parking considering how close to campus it is. There was plenty of open seating, and space. The design and setup was also just perfect - Coffee: I was feeling spontaneous and decided to break away from my usual vanilla. I tried their signature Latte, the Cinnamon Toast Latte. I will say it was really good, but I do think the cinnamon was a little much for my personal tastes. - Food: They had several food options. Several people seemed to be flocking to get açaí bowls, but they do also sell at least six other bowl bases that looked really good. There was also a nice little selection of cinnamon rolls and pastries - Prices: prices were a bit higher than I'm used to, but not too bad. - Staff: the workers were killing it when we were there. They were super friendly. I did kind of feel bad for them though. There were two, and with the way the crowd was they really probably should have had another person with them. - Merch: There were some shirts, mugs, and traditional merch, but one thing I loved was all of the artwork they had available. Overall I give this one a 4/5 's. Id like to check it out again, or check out one of their other locations.

We were in town for a wedding and hadn't been able to find a coffee shop with good espresso. I wish we had found this place earlier! The espresso was strong and flavorful without tasting overly roasted, the cinnamon roll was unique - like a sourdough cinnamon roll with maple glaze, yum. The shop had plenty of seating and decently available parking - a great spot to camp out and work or read for a few hours. Great music/ambiance, delicious coffee, good snacks and awesome vibes. Only downside is the espresso bar got backed up a bit so coffee took awhile (about 15 mins). Worth the wait! We had the cinnamon toast coffee, cold brew, and cinnamon roll.

Really great build your own bowl options but super expensive! My cocoa puff latte (delicious) & açaí bowl ended up being 25$! I would normally say worth it to come spend a few hours in an establishment, but the chairs were sooooo uncomfortable. Vibes were good and staff was friendly. Ambience was great and food tasted good. Knocked down to 4 stars due to price (come on we're in Tuscaloosa Alabama) & some real terrible chairs

Love love love turbo! Their menu has tons of great options, the coffee is always perfect and the avo toast is the best. I can't wait to try more items on their menu, everything so far has been delicious. Great place to catch up on work or meet with friends. Free parking and the staff is helpful! Can't wait to be back

We stumbled upon Turbo coffee while driving through Tuscaloosa and looking for a spot to get a good, local cup of coffee. Turbo did not disappoint! First, the shop itself is adorable and features artwork by local artisans. I even bought some bath salts from the shelf of a local apothecary business. The coffee was also delicious! I got the Vietnamese iced coffee and my friends got black drip coffee. I also got a smoothie, which was DELICIOUS! My husband got a sandwich and said the homemade bread was awesome. I highly recommend Turbo coffee to anyone who happens by Tuscaloosa!
