I've tried to give this location multiple chances because I really wanted to like it, but after…read moretoday's visit, I don't think I'll be returning. I stopped in around 1:30 p.m. and was the only customer in the store when I placed my order. While I was waiting, several other customers came in. Rather than beginning the drinks, one barista continued taking everyone's orders before anything was made. There were two baristas visible the entire time, but the second didn't start making drinks until the first had finished taking the full line of orders. It made the wait much longer than it seemed necessary. To make matters worse, my matcha wasn't mixed properly--it was full of chunks, I included a picture, making it unpleasant to drink. After waiting that long, I expected much better. Unfortunately, this hasn't been a one-time experience. Every visit seems to involve an unusually long wait for a drink that's average at best. It's especially disappointing because when this location first opened, the drinks and service were consistently good. I kept hoping each occasional returning visit would be better, but today's experience was enough for me to decide not to come back.

Came here on a weekday early in the morning. Had the breakfast sandwich and a plain hot latte and…read moreit was great! I love that you can get a REAL coffee cup with your latte because there is just something about a real cup that makes coffee taste whole lot BETTER! My bagel was everything bagel, eggs had cheese in them topped with 2 pieces of bacon. Prices were very fair for the area! They have good options for people that like a big and small breakfast. Will be back!

This is now my new favorite coffee! When I walked up I was immediate greeted with a genuine hello! I spoke with Brandi and asked her about their special drinks and syrups, and she was so awesome at describing them... So much so that I got 2 coffees to try! I got the Breve Honey Rose Latte and the Breve Twix Latte! Omg they both were phenomenal... But I'm such a sucker for chocolate anything, so I loved the Twix one a bit more. I will be back and will track this truck down as often as possible! Thanks for NOT being my ray of sunshine

I hadn't been to the Greenroom in quite a while, but was across the street and needed a bite and…read morecaffeine for the Friday afternoon. I walked in a little past 1pm, having studied the chalkboard outside with a delightful-sounding selection of spring specials. As I'm ordering, the barista and I alike see another group walk in. And another. And another-- I'm not seeing anyone else in the rather small physical establishment, and as a former barista am beginning to sweat a bit for this Greenroom employee and all of the orders he is about to have to deal with, seemingly by himself (cue the cheerful chime announcing more customers, and more customers). As I wait for my order, grateful to be the first in this long line, I sit to casually read a book and take my opportunity to observe my fellow patrons of this fine little spot. I hear the barista asking customers if they're okay with waiting, and he begins to ask customers if they're okay with waiting a minute for their orders. I'm content, as I have no urgent arrangements, and the now plastic-gloved barista comes up to me, informing me that they have no lime to garnish the avocado toast I've ordered and asking if that was okay. I assert as much and he returns to the line; I think to myself that he could have saved the time and not told me and I wouldn't have known the difference, but I'm pleased with his attention to detail. I get my to-go box of avocado toast with an egg and am pleased to open it and try a bite. I feel that it could have done with red pepper flakes (my favorite), but the everything bagel seasoning added a nice texture and the overall flavor profile was delightfully savory. As for my drink, which came later, it was the Good Riddance: a vanilla cold brew with lime pie cold foam (which lived up to the name tremendously). It also had what I believe to be graham cracker or pie crust crumbles on the top that were delightful! The drink was delicious and perfect for the spring weather. I sit upstairs as I always do, but specifically on the patio where I can see all of MidCity and the surrounding businesses. There's nonintrusive and enjoyable music presumably coming from the Camp itself? After an hour or so of enjoying my spoils, I return to the counter below to see if the barista is still there now that the rush is over. He is now accompanied by another coworker, blessedly, and I learn that his name is Caleb. We chat for a few moments and I introduce myself before leaving, but not before taking another picture of all the event calendars for the week and month. Now I'm positively fueled for my afternoon and grateful for the relaxed atmosphere. (Thanks for reading this far if you did, and shoutout again to Caleb for doing his job tremendously! He informed me that he enjoys a good rush of customers, and I replied that I would have cried to have been in the situation that he handled with great poise and dedication. The great service alongside the excellent product left me wanting to return quickly!)

Great coffee with friendly service!…read more We've tried a number of their specialty drinks as well as their "plain ole drip coffee" and have been very impressed! The staff know their stuff and have spot-on recommendations. They are located inside the Straight to Ale at Campus 805, and they have plenty of seating and a relaxed atmosphere. I was excited to see that they offer a variety of gluten-free options for those that shun such, and since some of their staff are former Mason Dixon employees, they know their stuff related to celiac, cross-contamination risk, etc. Great people and great coffee!

This place has changed since I first reviewed it, so might as well write an update…read more I have not come here for alcohol, but they do seem to have a fair variety of wines for sale, as well as weekly wine tastings. I am glad they have different coffee drinks nowadays, including espresso tonics, which have become my favorite for summertime. The food menu is small, but covers the basics. The space is nice and open, and I am glad they removed the red tint from the windows, makes it feel more relaxing now.

The staff here are about as hospitable and welcoming as a middle school teacher holding after…read moreschool detention. Sorority sister and I came to Charlie Foster's to get a glass of vino after dinner at El Caz. The majority of wine cellars/wine shoppes/wine centric places are extremely friendly, not tethered to a chair, and very engaging because, it's wine after all, and most wine lovers love nothing more than talking about wines! Rather than look over a wine list, I just asked for a glass of pinot grigio. The young man gave me the saddest pour I have seen in my life, again, in the requisite plastic purple Solo cup, and guess what this regrettable purchase cost me? $12.00. For a little more than double that cost, at about $26.00 I can get an entire bottle of Italian pinot grigio at Nick's ristorante, which is 4 *full* glasses!!!! Originally, I wanted to see what kinds of wines they had for sale; however, after this very transactional and impersonal interaction, I was ready to leave. I would suggest that management/owners train their personnel on wines and have them attend actual wine tastings with a sommelier and learn a few talking points about the various types and vineyards they represent. Staff should mingle with patrons to see what the person is interested in (would they like a dry white wine bottle to drink inside, a purple cup "to go," or several bottles for an upcoming event) and encourage things both that the customer prefers or is just outside the customer's comfort zone and peaks the patron's interest. I would also suggest they select staff who actually have a personality.

Parking is easy, the space is cute with plenty of seating, wifi works well, prices are comparable to other coffee shops in the area. Things I tried: El Camino Latte - the habanero syrup adds a nice wake up to the senses Lavender + Honey Latte - One of my favs. I got this one iced and it was simply refreshing. Cloudburst Latte - Had this both hot and iced. My preference is hot. I feel like you taste the bergamot, vanilla and coconut better. Cold seems more one note to me. Signature Matcha - To the point. Nothing to go crazy over. Had iced. Apricot and oat matcha - Preferred this one over the sig. Had iced. Service has been great for me each time. The space provided a nice work area. Busy spot without feeling too crowded.

I've been following ShakeiT Boba since their inception as a tiny food trailer. The family and…read morestaff are so so nice and I'm incredibly happy to see them enjoying this level of deserved success in their new brick and mortar! I've been missing their yummy products for a while; before they went brick and mortar, I was only ever able to catch them on Thursdays off University Drive, and they stopped doing that a few months prior to launching their full store. The full store is way out in Madison, which is pretty far out of the way for me, so it's been a long time since I last had any of their drinks. Luckily, I was passing through Madison about a week or two ago and had the time to stop in to see their new spot. It's really not far at all from where they'd park the trailer during their days in Madison; find it in the same shopping center as 2nd and Charles. Ample parking is available. Inside, you'll find a very adorably decorated, cozy, instagrammable boba shop. They have a loooot of drink choices (milk teas, fruit teas, coffees, etc), lots of types of boba, and their newest addition: soft serve ice cream! The ice cream comes in a lot of flavors that are pretty unique to this area: taro, Thai tea, mango, green tea, etc. Exact flavors vary from day to day but they have a small freezer with cups full you can also order. They also have a selection of fun snacks like Calbee chips, spicy rice crackers, and Pocky. I feel lucky we have two fabulous dedicated boba spots in the Huntsville area. ShakeiT Boba is my preferred spot if you want a more dessert or coffee-centric boba drink. Their Thai milk tea and their S'mores milk tea are delightful treats, although my most common order is a brown sugar or Thai coffee with coffee jelly. So so good and a great caffeine/happiness/energy boost! Their cups are gorgeous and the decorations and merch are so fun. I've noticed lots of familiar staff faces over the years too. I think it's a good sign that they can retain employees. And of course the family who owns the place is also often working hard behind the counter. :) Give this lovely business a try when you get the chance!
