It's in the Research Park area, not too far off from University Drive. It's tucked away a little bit, next to the new Viet Crispwich restaurant, but on the bright side there's plentiful parking. The vibes are pretty much immaculate here. Bright, cheerful, airy, but also private if you need -- there are several reclusive booths covered by archways, a perfect hidden away spot to work on a laptop or something. They have cute merchandise and even dedicated items and areas to keep little ones entertained. There's seating indoors and a couple of patio tables and chairs outside too. Service was pleasant enough. We didn't chat much but I was greeted and smiled at and my beverage was ready in a timely manner, so that's all you really need. The menu has coffee classics and then a few seasonal specials. There's matcha too, at least currently. There are supposed to be some baked goods for snackage, but when I visited at about 10:30 on Monday, they only had a few cookies and a brownie. I was hoping for something more in the realm of banana bread or a muffin, but they were wiped out. Maybe Monday is a restock day. They're only open til 2 PM, so definitely a morning/early afternoon hangout only. I got an iced salted caramel latte to go, and I enjoyed it well enough. To me, I really didn't taste any salted caramel, but it was a good iced latte: rich, smooth, almost buttery, and not too bitter. Not as sweet as I'd like but that's often the case with what I consider more "serious" coffee places like this one. If you enjoy coffee, I think you'll like this coffee. It was certainly strong coffee, cause my husband said it was basically emanating off me when I got home. lol. Give them a try and don't forget to take a cute picture with their gorgeous mural! I'll likely return in the future.

We said "cold" but quickly said "I mean iced" and it really tasted completely watered down and was only half way filled in a medium sized cup. This was today and maybe staff wasn't having a good day but service was extremely poor. The lady in front of us asked for something and they didn't have it which she seemed ok with but the staff seemed annoyed she even asked lol. We gave the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe the staff had been asked for the same item multiple times or something but when it was our turn they seemed so annoyed and like they couldn't be bothered at all. The inside of the place is beautiful though and the little booths seemed cozy. Maybe it was just one of those days and we got unlucky but I wouldn't make the trip again.

The girl who took our order was incredibly friendly, and the service was quick from the moment we walked in. I ordered Dad's Egg Sandwich, and Mom got the Vegetable Frittata. The bacon on my sandwich was the standout--nice, thick, and perfectly cooked. My only complaint is that the menu mentioned garlic, but I honestly couldn't taste any. If you're going to promise garlic, I want to taste garlic! Mom really enjoyed her frittata, although I think she's getting a little tired of egg dishes lately. She especially loved the toast and whatever butter they served with it. It almost tasted like maple butter, and it was delicious. The fresh fruit was also excellent (I happily finished Mom's!). My only real complaint is the size of the restaurant. It's a cozy space, but I can see it getting crowded very quickly during the breakfast rush. Overall, everything was wonderful. Friendly staff, fast service, and a delicious breakfast. We'll definitely be back!

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.

I had already had my coffee for the day, I'm one of those people now and didn't try any beverages while here. We got a myriad of treats from their display. We tasted a few things on the front patio and took the rest home. I'm likely an outlier here but I felt their pastries were good but not great. Nothing offensive about them but not much memorable as well. While I'm fully aware that opinions are like sphincters, having lived in a larger city that's very chef driven and food forward, I've just had better. The staff, including one of the owners, were as nice as could be. Definitely worth the visit.

This restaurant is open for breakfast and brunch. They really aren't a lunch type of place to me. There are a few salads, soup, and a few sandwiches. Mostly they have lots of varieties of breakfast foods. We walked in and stood at the front hostess stand about 7 to 8 minutes. I contemplated grabbing menus and finding a place to sit since there wasn't a sign that said wait to be seated or seat yourself. About the time I grabbed menus, an employee approached the hostess stand. She said there was a sign to wait to be seated and I asked her to show it to me. She apologized for the missing sign. We were seated and began looking at the menu. Our server, Logan, showed up and was very friendly. He brought us water to the table and when we were ready, he took our orders. Dave had two eggs over medium, bacon, toast, and fried potatoes. His bacon was cooked like he likes it, the fried potatoes were crunchy, the toast buttered and his eggs perfect. 5/5 I ordered an omelet with ham, bacon, sausage, mushrooms and onions. My dish came with greens with a lemon vinaigrette. The kitchen forgot to put the vinaigrette on. I ordered a side of potatoes. The potatoes were delicious with a nice crunch. My omelet was dry. The eggs were tough and rubbery. It was difficult to cut the eggs with my fork. This is the first time I have had an omelet that was this dry. 3/5 If you are in South Huntsville on Airport Road, please stop by First Watch. I will be back to try other breakfast foods soon. 4/5
