Getting new tires in Athens the other week, I (sadly) noticed an obituary on their bulletin board for Cheryl Prince Sendowski who owned the coffee shoppe from 1998 until it was sold in 2013. This was one spot my Birthday Club group met at in the late 80s and early 90s. We enjoyed their simplistic sandwiches and iced teas. I'm not a coffee snob by any stretch, and their coffee doesn't evoke great memories for me; however, I do recall it being "fair trade," even back then. The sandwiches were good, the place was nice to relax in, and the back patio was even more eclectic with various statuary and just "stuff" hanging from the fence. Sandwiches were nothing you can't make at home, but they were good, edible, quick and filling! The community bulletin board was always clustered with fliers and business cards for music lessons, missing pets, and pressure washers. It's a local's place for locals and had one regular, Mike Maples who was conferred with the title "Mayor" of Ole Town Coffee. The gazebo out front is quaint to sit in. Do know parking is tight. There aren't many spaces out front to park. I think the back alley may have some spots. For a slice of Huntsville, I would recommend visiting OTC!

Parking was a little tough to find. It looks like there are only a few spots too so I can't imagine…read morea lot of people being able to be here at a time. There's more outdoor seating than indoor seating. Prices seem relatively cheaper than other coffee places I've been to in town. I ended up ordering a bagel with strawberry cream cheese and a plain latte with oat milk. The strawberry cream cheese was served in a plastic container, and seemed different from store bought cream cheese. It had a date of 1-12, but still seemed weirdly dried on the outside. Anyways, the bagel was good. The latte was just okay. Nothing special. Not sure if people order any different drinks while they're here, but I'm definitely tempted to come back and try some of the teas they have.

Hot, fresh, fluffy and light, but flavor-packed and made as soon as you order, you won't find a better beignet in town! The minis are perfect for a small sweet treat, but the traditional sized beignets are hard to pass up! They even have seasonal and flavorful topped ones that are so so delectable and rich, you'd be insane not to try one of each! The coffees are strong and paired perfectly! My favorite is the hot Biscoff latte! It also comes in iced or frozen! Staff is always nice, service is as quick as it can be when it comes to making these little pillows of fried dough heaven! I know HSV has plenty of "dessert" shops around, but Beignets and Brews is a stand out amongst them all!

Probably too much powdered sugar for my taste but I suppose that is how an authentic beignet is served. The dipping sauces were very sweet and runny like a marinade consistency. The cheesecake syrup was good, but I liked the beignets plain because they were made fresh. My matcha latte was really good! It was lightly sweetened and perfect for a hot day!

I looked at their menu before committing to getting coffee here. The menu mentioned having frappes but I was super nervous that the flavors would be off as I've experienced numerous times when trying new coffee shops. My boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised, first sip into our drinks. Warm, sweet but not toothache sweet, and odd to say buttery in a sense. My boyfriend ordered the white mocha frappe, and I ordered the mocha frappe with caramel added. The best part was that the ice chips weren't too chunky or uneven in size, they were small but mighty. Added bonus is the drink was not watered down despite the tinier ice chips. This is now a coffee staple when I come to Huntsville! The staff is friendly, not the most jovial, but very easy-going.

There is also outside seating area and seating in the back outside where some people bring their dogs. This is more of your lively coffee shop, more of a grab coffee with your friends or get items done on your to-do list, not a quiet study cafe. I didn't try the food, but it looked pretty good.

This is just for the bagels. The good Parking is plentiful and easy in and out. The bagels were…read morepretty good you can tell they were prepared in the traditional boiled manner that results in the chewy outside texture. And they offer just enough Schmear as an extra and will toast it for you. It is a quaint place that offers a place to hang out for a while. The staff was cordial not overly friendly and seemed really focused on the tasks at hand. I would have liked to have had a better breakfast bagel sandwich selection as that is what I was looking for but most of the offerings were on toasted bread.

I still like this place and have even gotten "real food" there…read more Pros: Staff are friendly! They nicely ground the bag of (overpriced) coffee I bought with zero complaints. The breakfast sandwiches and BLT are decently executed, but I'm REALLY not a fan of their bagels. Their bread (particularly the baguette) is fantastic, though. Note: it sells out quickly. You can still pick up your to-go order without having to deal with people. They now have a cute bookshop inside. They make their own cream cheese! Cons: If I'm paying $1.50 for an avocado add on, PLEASE don't let it be oxidized and brown and gross. This makes me sad. Parking is still a nightmare. See above about the bagels. I'm prepared for the hate I'm about to get, but I prefer Bruegger's...which is sad, as I'm sure they're produced and come in frozen. Prices have gone up, but that's to be expected. I would love, however, the option to not add on a side for less moolah. I don't want their straight from the bag chips, random baby carrots, or (somewhat icky) fruit. Depending on the timing, you may be able to get a seat. Or you may be fighting a soccer mom with 4 screaming toddlers just to pick up a to go order. Still a fan, but know what you're getting.
