“I just had the opportunity to try out the in-house espresso roasted by Refuge and it is great! I hope they keep making moves like this. There is an edge that a strong local roaster can bring to an area that other shops cannot. Looking forward to seeing what these guys do in the future!”

“Good coffee is a rare find, and you can find it at Refuge. The sparse aesthetic of the place actually feels very warm and welcoming, and there are a lot of cozy corners in which to get some studying done or read a good novel. The baristas seem knowledgeable and friendly (which, let's be honest, is rare too) and gave me exactly what I ordered very quickly. The quality of the espresso is exceptional - better than any I've tried in Fairhope. I'll be visiting this place often, and you should too.”

“Best coffee shop in Fairhope by far! If you want a really good coffee beverage brewed the way it should be and made with quality ingredients, this is the ONLY place.”

“Really awesome, quality coffee! The best coffee I've had on the Eastern Shore in fact… They have real baristas working who care about crafting excellent coffee. If that sounds like your thing or you enjoy highly-caffeinated, complex, bold espresso you'll probably come back here often!”

“Excellent coffee! We visit family in Fairhope multiple times per year, and I'm always looking for a great, well-made coffee. Refuge Coffee has become the perfect place for me. It's high quality coffee and espresso, and you can taste the difference. If you appreciate good quality coffee, this is your place.”

“Visited Refuge on a recent trip to Fairhope. My latte was sublime. We also ordered some food and the barista brought it out to us with our coffees which I wasn't expecting (and was pleasantly surprised!). Great experience.”

— Ed / Hoover, AL

“I was welcomed when I came in the door and was assisted in recommending an excellent pour over coffee. While studying I was also checked on and given water. I have never been to refuge coffee before but I would highly recommend others come for this excellent experience while I visit Fairhope.”
