There’s just something special about Homewood. From peaceful parks to cozy coffee shops, it’s one of those places that makes you slow down, enjoy the moment and, well—smile!
Here are five of our favorite ways to spend a day in Homewood that keep us grinning from ear to ear.
Is there anything better than that runner’s high? (Okay, for some of us, it’s more of a walker’s high.)
Either way, a lap or two around Homewood Central Park just hits the spot. Next door to the Homewood Community Center, this green space is perfect for frisbee with friends, an outdoor yoga session or simply sprawling out on a blanket with snacks while you soak in the sunshine.
One of our favorite budget-friendly joys? A trip to the library. The Homewood Public Library has endless shelves of stories to get lost in.
Books in hand, it only makes sense to settle into a coffee shop. Caveat is a local favorite because it feels less like a café and more like your friend’s living room. Whether you’re catching up with a buddy or just catching up on your reading list, the cozy vibe makes it easy to stay a while.
Downtown Birmingham gets a ton of foodie love, but Homewood has quietly built a culinary scene that can hold its own.
From the home-style goodness of Johnny’s to a sweet pick-me-up from HERO Doughnuts, there’s no shortage of options to keep your taste buds happy.
When you’ve really worked up an appetite, Luca Lagotto is the place to be for Italian-inspired dishes. Plus, pop over to Luca Mercato Lagotto to shop market goods like wines, cured meats + other snacks for later.
After all that food and coffee, a trip to SmileCraft is just what the dentist ordered.
Lead dentist Dr. Chris Swicord and his friendly team make every visit easy and comfortable, and there’s no better feeling than walking out with a fresh, confident smile. Plus, his passion and expertise ensures you’re getting the best care possible.
Here’s what other patients had to say after their first visit:
“You have found your new dentist!
The entire team was incredibly kind and helpful. The hygienist that I had, Tracy, was amazing—so gentle and thorough. Dr. Chris Swicord was very patient and explained everything thoroughly, making me feel comfortable throughout the process. The office is also very clean and modern.”
Adam Yarborough, Patient, SmileCraft Family Dentistry
“Greeted with a friendly smile and treated with the upmost care! Truly, the most trustworthy and knowledgeable staff around! “
Maria Matson, Patient, SmileCraft Family Dentistry
At the end of the day, it’s the little things—parks, books, coffee, food and a confident smile—that make Homewood shine.
