13 Best Coffee Shops in Huntsville
Honest Coffee
If you’ve been in Huntsville for any period of time, you’ve likely heard of Honest Coffee. It’s a staple around here and one of my personal favorite coffee shops in Downtown Huntsville.
There are two locations in town. One is located in Downtown Huntsville and the other is located in Madison off of Sullivan Street, just past Toyota Field.
Not only is it one of the best coffee shops in Huntsville, but it’s downtown location is in the perfect spot. It’s not far from Big Spring Park and is a short walk from some of the best restaurants in Downtown Huntsville.
Location aside, there are two coffees that you’ll want to try – the Bootlegger and the Bee’s Knees.
Angel’s Island
If you live down South Parkway and are looking for one of the best coffee shops in Huntsville, you should definitely drop by Angel’s Island.
It’s got a great location along the parkway by Big Rosie’s, so it’s easy to stop by on your way into town. I live close by and find myself dropping in all the time for a cup of coffee.
I typically like to get the Iced Carmel Macchiato, but they also have some great seasonal drinks that rotate on and off the menu that are worth trying!
Lux Bru
If you are looking for a beautiful and cozy Huntsville coffee shop, paired with delicious French-inspired coffee and foods, you should stop by Lux Bru.
Lux Bru is a newer coffee shop in Madison located close to the Trash Pandas stadium, making it easily accessible to both Huntsville and Madison.
I tried the Salted Caramel Latte, which is one of several drinks on their house specials menu! They also serve some great brunch and bakery items too!
Gold Sprint
Gold Sprint is one of my wife’s favorite places to get coffee in Huntsville! It’s located between Bob Wallace and Governors and is easy to miss.
However, once you take a step inside you’ll find that it’s one of the more unique coffee shops in Huntsville.
It’s got skateboards on the wall, karate trophies, houseplants, and banners all over the shop. Oh, and they have an open mic night and live music!
In terms of coffee, my wife says the Lavender + Honey Latte is the way to go!
Rooster’s Crow
Rooster’s Crow is hidden off of Whitesburg Drive and is one of the best coffee shops in Huntsville if you like fresh roasted coffee.
They are a custom roaster and sell beans from all around the world. They even put them in K-Cups that you can buy for your Keurig and have a monthly Sampler Box subscription.
Rooster’s Crow also sells one of the more unique coffees I’ve ever seen, Pops Coffee. It’s a mixture of coffee and soda!
If you’re like me and aren’t very adventurous, I like to stick with Vanilla Iced Coffee. Regardless, it’s a great Huntsville coffee shop that you should visit!
Just Love Cafe
Just Love Cafe is one of my favorite places to get coffee in Huntsville and it also has a great story behind it.
Owners Rob and Emily Webb adopted two girls from Ethiopia in 2009 and while they were on the flight to adopt their children, Rob had an idea for a coffee shop with a social mission.
Since opening, Rob and Emily have been able to donate over $100,000 to families in need.
The original store opened up in Tennessee, and there are now two locations in Huntsville! If you haven’t stopped by, be sure to try the Toffee Coffee Latte!
Oh, and I also love to get some of their waffles when I’m there too! While they have great coffee, Just Love Cafe also has some of the best breakfast in Huntsville too!
Olde Towne Coffee Shoppe
Olde Towne Coffee Shoppe is located off Pratt Avenue. They’re one of the best coffee shops in Huntsville to go to if you want beans that are roasted in-house.
They even have a Master Roaster that is dedicated to getting each batch of beans just right. I’ve never been to Olde Towne, but it’s on my list to visit in the near future!
If you like to make cold brew at home, you can buy their Jolted Cold Brewed Coffee Concentrate. Simply mix it with milk or water for a homemade cold brew!
Menu-wise, they have a pretty normal selection of options. Their seasonal menu has some great options too, like Gingerbread, Peppermint, Pumpkin Spice, Cupcake, and Lavender coffee!
Charlie Fosters
Hidden in one of my favorite spots in town, Charlie Fosters is located in Gaslight Alley at Stovehouse! It can definitely be easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.
If you’re like me, the Vanilla Latte is always a great option. However, if you’re a more adventurous coffee drinker, Charlie Fosters has a great seasonal menu that has tons of great drinks!
While you’re enjoying some of the best coffee in Huntsville at Charlie Fosters, be sure to take a look around all of the shops in Gaslight Alley!
Turbo Coffee
The next spot on our list of the best coffee shops in Huntsville is Turbo Coffee. It’s located in the Lincoln Mill Offices, so it’s an easy one to miss if you don’t know it’s there.
Turbo Coffee started in Florence and has expanded to Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, and Seagrove, Florida. They pride themselves on serving healthy drinks and have tons of options like in-house cold-pressed juices, acai bowls, and superfood smoothies.
If you’re planning a visit to this Huntsville coffee shop, be sure to try the Cocca Puff Latte or the Honey Nut Latte. They also serve a drink of the month!
Bus Stop Coffee
If you’re looking to visit a new coffee shop in Huntsville, Bus Stop Coffee is a great spot. It opened in September 2023 and is located inside Green Bus Brewing.
If you’re not familiar, the brewery is located in Downtown Huntsville near the courthouse square. During the day it’s Bus Stop Coffee, and during the evening it’s Green Bus Brewing. Pretty cool idea, right?
It’s so new that we haven’t been able to stop by yet, but it’s on my list to visit in the near future. Although from what I’ve heard, it’s already one of the best coffee shops in Downtown Huntsville.
The Cozy Cow
The Cozy Cow is one of the best coffee shops in Huntsville, but it’s also much more than that! It’s also a cafe and ice cream parlor.
Another highlight of The Cozy Cow is that it’s located on the outskirts of Big Spring Park. So you can grab a coffee before taking a stroll around the park.
Coffee-wise, the drink options are pretty standard. However, they have tons of options for sandwiches, melts, paninis, and even burgers!
So if you’re to grab a drink before you go for a walk in the park or want some coffee with lunch, The Cozy Cow is a great option.
The Greenroom
Another of of the best coffee shops in Huntsville that’s easy to miss is The Greenroom. It’s located at The Camp off of University Drive.
It serves coffee along with Piper and Leaf tea and some delicious breakfast items. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but my sister has been a few times and she recommends the Carmel Latte.
If you haven’t been to The Camp before, they have tons of great events going on. I went to an Elf Trivia Night there last Christmas and it was a blast!
Next time you’re looking for a date idea in Huntsville or just want to hang out with some friends, be sure to stop by The Greenroom and grab a cup of coffee and explore!
My Brother’s Coffee Co.
My Brother’s Coffee Co is a delicious, but easy-to-miss spot located just off of Highway 72 going towards Gurley. If you are located in the Hampton Cove area, be sure to check this shop out!
With such a wide variety of flavors and drinks, it’s easily one of the best coffee shops in Huntsville. My Brother’s Coffee is my favorite spot to go when I want to switch things up.
One of their current specials, the Blueberry Cobbler Latte, sounds amazing! They also hold fun events like Open Mic Days. And the best part – they have a drive-through!
