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.

Mike S. summed up OTC shoppe in his review - good job Mike! Bohemian and hippie-esque has always…read morebeen OTC's vibe. 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.

The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with a delightful blend of modern and vintage decor. The selection is impressive, ranging from classic to exotic blends that make deciding difficult.

Surrounded by historical buildings, it provides a peaceful retreat from the bustling downtown area. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or just looking for a cozy place to relax, Piper and Tea Leaf is a delightful destination. (Pro Tip - when it's got out you can get your tea sparkling! Yummm)

Finally got a chance to try out this new coffee spot in Huntsville. They operated as a cart for a…read morewhile until the physical location got built up. 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 attention to detail is unmatched and is a place I could see myself hanging out for hours. The seating is very comfortable. THE STAFF It was very busy while I was in there and the staff maintained friendly and patient attitudes, which I found so admirable for a place that's in its soft open. The staff was also very knowledgable about the menu. THE DRINK/FOOD The honey cake was TO DIE FOR. Seriously. I think I dreamed of it that night. All of their pastries and cakes are made fresh and from scratch and you can really tell. The person who took my order suggested the Qahwtea latte and it was truly one of the best lattes I've ever had. It wasn't very sweet (which I loved) and was full of warm spices. THE PRICE I won't lie--it's definitely more expensive than your big box places but the experience you get coupled with the well-crafted coffees and expertly baked pastries is worth it. I left with that rare warm and happy feeling you have when you've just experienced an incredible dining experience. 11/10 will be returning!!!

We chose the pistachio cake and some sort of Turkish cake I think it was with a tres leches twist to it. Of the two we liked the Turkish one better. The pistachio was dry. I thought I ordered a coffee. It was listed under the coffee section. But what I got was weird. I don't know how to explain it. Something was missing though. Maybe milk? But I was not offered any so makes me think it wasn't meant to have it. I'm not really sure. Something was off. Didn't enjoy it. Couldn't drink it. It also was deathly hot. I burned my tongue and just considered it is not my type of place. I won't be back but the service was great. The ladies were very nice and helpful. Parking lot is right outside the building.
