Olde Towne Coffee Shoppe - Huntsville

Used to be the best, most welcoming coffee shop in town. Now you’ll get a more authentic experience from the Waffle House across the street. Another victim of

Always good things, it is a treat for me to come here.

Been going here for years and I love everything coffee and food wise, but I really think the redesign misses the mark. This is a great, community oriented coffee shop with lots of history and character. Now It looks like a dorm room from bama rush tiktok. Really wish they would reconsider.

They get a bonus star because the coffee is genuinely great. Food is pretty basic resold Costco.However...Current ownership took a Huntsville institution, a haven for queerfolk and general weirdos, and decided to go more corporate . Fired their manager (who 'd been managing since they took over almost a decade ago, and had been working the shop since 2003) because her look wasn 't what they needed , and lied to the crew, telling them she walked out after refusing a demotion. Stripped out everything that made the place stand out (none of the interior pics from earlier reviews are accurate now), and alienated a chunk of their existing customer base. A customer base they inherited with the shop. If your style is as divergent as dyed hair and Doc Martens, you are apparently unwelcome (since that 's what got their previous manager fired). Well done on contributing to the slow death of Five Points.Parking: Parking was seriously right and limited before Pratt turned into a giant construction zone, now parking is a nightmare.

Gave this place another try and it's been top tier ever since. The atmosphere is great for a hippie heart. Lol Food and service is amazing too.
