I just want to say Kimberly is a LIFE SAVER!!! I had placed an order with a different bakery for 2 dozen cookies and unfortunately the owner became ill and couldn’t full fill my order. I called Iz and spoke with Kimberly and she went above and beyond the call of duty. She actually went over to their bakery at a different location, got the cookie dough, came back to the Vestavia location and baked the cookies for me. Words cannot express the gratitude � I have for her. More...

Ok, so full disclosure, this place is just a little to convenient especially if you are in the mood for something sweet to top off a lunch or dinner you have had at one of the many local restaurants or have just finished dining here. This is one of those places you kind of wish you don't discover because once you do you will be haunted with the visions, smells and tastes of the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE BOMB (It really deserves to have all caps when typing it out). This is one of those sweets, that once it gets in your head, your life will not be the same until you finally submit to the voice in your head demanding the sweet fix that can only be resolved with the moist, chocolatey, chocolate filled (chocolate syrup), chocolate glazed.....chocolate everything that is the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE BOMB. So you don't believe me....try it, I dare you. Join all of us that have dared to sample it in the past to only leave us wanting it at 11:31 on a Thursday night and no possible way of fixing this craving that has been put upon me by writing this review. So, it is now apparent that my lunch plans for tomorrow, will hopefully lead me into Vestavia so that this craving can be fulfilled by the one and only thing that will put me at peace.....CHOCOLATE MOUSSE BOMB!(by the way.....the staff is really awesome too! not only do they make these amazing chocolate treats, they are always friendly, helpful, accurate with orders and all around pleasant to interact with) More...

We bought desserts to go for a party and everyone totally loved them. Our favorite was the chocolate mousse bomb. It was absolutely delicious and fresh. Absolutely would go back.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots. The staff is always friendly and takes care of their regulars. The turkey Reuben is made with sautéed cabbage and turkey with Italian dressing and marbled rye. The farm fresh egg sandwich is a BLT with a fried egg on a croissant bun. Both are so freaking good. They are known for their pimento cheese and chicken salad. Both are good. The sweet potato chips you can order as a side or by the bagful. The baked goods are actually very well balanced. While everything looks like it would overly sweet, they manage to find a nice balance of sugar so as not to put you in a sweetness overload. More...

Sweet potato chips and chicken salad are the best around.  I also really like the pumpkin bread.  If they have a macaroni and cheese in their take home case, grab it.  Delicious.  Friendly staff and great service.  Everything is homemade. More...

I ordered the chicken salad on a croissant with their home-made sweet potato chips.  I am a huge fan!  The chicken salad had good sized pieces of crisp, Granny Smith apple along with walnuts and a not-too-overwhelming amount of mayo.  The hand-cut sweet potato chips were perfect. Light, crisy and NOT greasy at all.  I cannot speak to the baked goods but wow, they had a lot in their cases - muffins, scones, cupcakes, brownies, cakes, quick breads... Definitely give this place a try if you are looking for a quick, tasty lunch or a mid-afternoon coffee break. More...

Desserts, scones, and muffins are all amazing.  Lunch items are great too - chicken salad, pimiento cheese, thai chicken wrap, southwestern wrap, quesadillas, etc. are all wonderful.  Plus, the sweet potato chips usually come as a side and they are super tasty.My only complaint is that every time I get a latte it tastes different.  Sometimes it is perfect.  But not always.  They have several different people making the coffee in the mornings so I guess they all just prepare their lattes differently? Wish it was consistent but I'll keep on going because they have such great food. More...

Food came out quickly. The chicken salad plate was very good. A scoop of chicken salad, fresh fruit, and pumpkin bread for $7 was a good deal.  In three visits, the fruit has always been fresh.  The restaurant also has soups and a variety of deli-style sandwiches.Cafe Iz sells homemade cakes and other baked goods, along with a few varities of coffee.You order at the counter and the food is brought out to you.  It is a very casual atmosphere.  Tea, water, and soft drinks are self-serve.
