The Red Cat Coffeehouse at Pepper Place
Mike and Aileen McElwain opened The Red Cat in 2008 at Pepper Place with the motto 'Coffee for everyone', saying they wanted a coffeehouse that balanced their own tastes with what customers wanted rather than following third-wave coffee culture. Bham Now's 2026 coffee guide credits its creative specialty lattes. The company also runs a Railroad Park shop and a counter at UAB Highlands Hospital.
