A new café has opened inside the Hoover Public Library, bringing specialty coffee, pastries and brunch offerings to one of the city’s busiest civic spaces. NOIR Luxury Cafe officially opened June 10 at 200 Municipal Drive.
Local Entrepreneurs Collaborate
The business is a collaboration between Pauline’s Fine Cakes and Desserts and LaFleur Coffee Boutique, combining the founders’ experience in baked goods and specialty coffee. The café offers specialty coffee drinks, handcrafted desserts, pastries, brunch selections and catering services.
Located inside the library, NOIR is intended to serve a variety of customers, from visitors meeting friends or working remotely to patrons spending time at the library. The business was founded by two local entrepreneurs who met through the 4C Accelerator program.
In addition to food and beverage service, NOIR plans to offer a youth internship and workforce development program. Organizers said one Hoover High School student is already participating in the initiative. The café is open Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
