Roasted Oak - Gulf Shores

Not an actual coffee shop, it’s a snack bar inside a hotel lobby. All the pictures are the hotel lobby not of a coffee shop. Parking is really far away

Was recently looking for a coffee shop while in Orange Beach that wasn’t, well, tacky. Something more mature and well-designed. Saw the photos and generally positive reviews and chose to come here.Just beware, this is in a hotel. While not a dealbreaker, it definitely feels that not only is it a coffee shop in a hotel, it is a coffee shop FOR the hotel. Navigating to the actual coffee bar was assisted by no signs and only a certain intuition of following where you saw people walking with full cups of coffee (it’s in the back left corner of the lobby). Corroborating this, the (very friendly and helpful) staff had to manually key in my card number.Well is it any good? Yeah it was.They use superauto espresso machines, so no “art” to it, but the latte I ordered was good. My wife likewise hers. I got a parfait which was generously portioned and yummy, while she got some leek pastry, which she loved. Water is bottled, straws are eco. All milk substitutes available.I give four stars because I do feel a bit like I’m not explicitly “supposed” to be here, whether by design or otherwise. Which is a pity because it has the chops to be a truly great coffee shop. As it stands, it’s a footnote in a stay at the Hilton. A pretty, tasty footnote, but a footnote nonetheless.

Great coffee shop along the Gulf Shores Park in a beautiful

Cold beer or hot coffee with ocean view deck with super staff.

Be aware this coffee shop is inside the Hilton hotel. It has free parking that is a short walk away and a wonderful view! Grab coffee then head to the pier for a walk or take a walk on the beach next to the pier!
