“Our corner of Birmingham is quaint and quirky at the same time,” said Jen Daniel, a Crestwood resident, who’s lived there for three years. “We can walk to the record store as a family, even hear a live show from our front porch if Seasick Records is hosting a band. That’s pretty neat. Our new pharmacy serves milkshakes, and it’s right next to a vintage clothing shop. Our park even has a public pool that’s open in the summertime for the kids. Crestwood, while it’s still growing, is really turning into a neighborhood with lots of fun and convenient spots for us as a family.”
Crestwood Coffee Co. has a variety of menu options such as a cranberry walnut muffin, spicy pimento cheese, and their premium dark roasted coffee. The Filling Station is known for the delicious pizzas, pastas, salads, and history in the Crestwood community. “The Filling Station was once the last standing full-service station in Birmingham,” Kristina O’Quinn stated.
Crestwood Tavern is known for having a gorgeous mural on the right side of the shopping complex. You can find this mural at 5500 Crestwood Blvd, Birmingham, AL 35212.
