I had an iced salted caramel latte and it was delicious. It was very welcomed after the prior day's coffee somewhere else, which was not good. This had a nice coffee flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. Worth a stop! read more

Gadsden's best spot for coffee and pastries!! Their fresh made pop tarts and kolaches they serve are great for breakfast!! read more

Is is the best every time I go. The expression hey use is so smooth. Need o have them add two more pumps of flavor to my late but other wise no complaints. Very unique but fan environment. read more

Best coffee shop in town. The vibes are always right and the matcha and scones are always perfection. Their lattes are so good too - espresso is a perfect roast that's flavor-rich but not bitter, and they froth milk perfectly. Haven't had anything I haven't loved! And the staff is the sweetest. Highly recommend stopping by here asap. read more

Very friendly employees. Warm, inviting atmosphere. Great tasting coffee, lattes, etc. 5 stars!!!

We stopped in for my wife's after dinner coffee and it was a pretty good experience. The place seemed busy as a single barista was running the counter. That slowed things down a bit with many multi drink orders and a number of kids sitting at the counter. All in all a pretty cool place. read more

Cute place on downtown stretch. Dairy free and few gluten free options. Good find for sure and I love the chalk art.

Great coffee place on Main Street in downtown Gadsden. Yes, I know what I said ... but, I didn't drink any of the coffee! We had been shopping in the area and wanted something to drink. We popped in here since my wife forgot her coffee at home and got her hooked up with a fresh brew. As for myself, well, they happened to have blackberry flavoring .... which is all the makings for a perfect steamer. I had a blackberry vanilla steamer. I have to admit, it was as good as, if not better than, the best one I've ever had. The staff here were friendly, they were only open a few more minutes, but never made us feel rushed and took great care in making our drinks. Prices were on par with what you would expect to pay at any other type of coffee house like this. Also, this place is set up really nice. Some couches and chairs in the front area, and the same in the back area. Plus a small stage for live music. Nor sure how often that happens, but a cool setting for it when it does. read more

When you walk in the warm environment is the first thing you notice. All workers have always been kind and attentive, my go to is a white chocolate latte with oat milk and I also enjoy trying anything new there. They have hot teas as well if you're not into coffee and even fruit drinks too. The baked goods are always fresh and there's a place where you can heat them up as well. This is my go to study place with my friends in between classes and the free wifi is a plus! This is a very friendly and calming environment, I highly recommend. read more

This was not my first time here, but it may be my last. The coffee was good, but the service was below par. Maybe I misunderstood the vibe of this place, but the loud conversation between the two baristas was not very welcoming and honestly a bit hostile. The initial interaction was great, friendly, and welcoming. However, after the coffee had been served, they seemed to have no regard for anyone else in the restaurant. There were other people there, yet I could hear the two of them talking louder than anyone else. It was not just work conversations either, they were swearing loudly, gossiping about coworkers, and even made derogatory comments about a man's faith and how the local church he went to was a "cult" and that it was "ridiculous that people would even go there." I am not a member of the church, but I can tell you many people in Gadsden go there, and I'm sure they would not take to those comments very kindly. I understand that The Coffee Bar is a little more trendy and progressive than Gadsden is probably used to, and that's great. I have seen them make strides to be more inclusive and accepting, but that was not the vibe I got on my visit. Everyone is welcome and entitled to have their own opinions and make their remarks. Still, I didn't appreciate being subjected to it on a late Saturday morning while I was just trying to enjoy my coffee. I still think it's a cool spot and appreciate what they are doing to build the culture in Gadsden, but this was disappointing. I may come back as perhaps this was just an off day for those two baristas or just out of character. It's not fair to mark a business's entire reputation by one encounter, but for now, this is the impression that I was left with. read more

Great atmosphere and great coffee! I ordered an iced Toffee Latte and it was delicious. It tasted fresh so I didn't mind the price. Typical price of a latte, around $5. read more

Best coffee, pastries and always personable experience here in Gadsden. This place has character and brings a missing element that 99% of other coffee shops can't give you. Love seeing all the clocks and my favorite Evel Knievel picture. Just a cool place to simply hangout and enjoy. read more

Exceeded expectations - a great cappuccino. Friendly staff and better than usual selection of sugar free syrups.

Coffee and croissant were good. Service was friendly and efficient. Ambience needs some work. Lots of strange artwork and wilted plants. Seating is also than ideal and was not easy for my elderly Mom to use. Might also be helpful to have the menu on the wall behind the cash register so you don't have to turn your back to the server to decide what to order. read more

It's a laid-back place with good pastries. Another reviewer said they are not welcoming. That's true- no greetings, and I went in the morning and evening, on the same day. Clean restaurant, nothing special about it other than convenience. read more

Delicious coffee and tea! Try the dirty chai. Try all the drinks! Great staff. Great coffee. The muffins are delicious - especially peach and blueberry read more

Love this coffee shop downtown. Good location right around some restaurants. The atmosphere is great and the coffee is awesome. I go there weekly to read, hangout, or listen to live music. Highly recommend to anyone that needs a place to de-compress. I have tried half the menu and never been disappointed. Sam pays such attention to detail if you get a regular coffee he takes a moment to warm the cup with the espresso machine to ensure your coffee stays hot longer. Makes this a place you visit soon. read more

A great coffee shop in the downtown area of Gadsden. I met a friend for coffee here yesterday. When you walk in, there's a big community style table with a game of chess at one end... there's a chalkboard with menu items written on it, and a cozy back area if you look further. It looks like sometimes they have live music. I ordered a latte for here (in a mug) and it was perfect! My friend and I stayed a couple of hours talking. The coffee shop was pretty quiet yesterday (Monday morning) with a couple of people studying and a group meeting in the back. I love the vibe of this coffee shop. It is very laid back, the opposite of some of those snobby coffee shops... it feels like a real community coffee shop should! Friendly, chill & comfortable. read more

First, and foremost, this place makes really good lattes. The issue is staff have no personality. Since there are limited places in Gadsden to get freshly made lattes, I have visited this business place several times. Each time, Staff seem are so unfriendly . . . not even a thank you or come back. And forget a greeting when you come in; it's almost like you have inconvenienced them. The locations off the beaten path, so they should be thankful that customers have driven to the establishment. I gave this place 20 tries, but yesterday was my last. A smile, friendly greeting and a thank you is just customary. read more

Phenomenal hidden spot in Gadsden. I went to school at JSU and would go out of my way to visit this shop. Delicious coffee with a variety of flavors available. Cool staff that are extremely friendly. Good for studying, a date, or just a quick cup of joe before work. Can't recommend this shop enough! read more

Coffee and wifi are strong. Pretty much all I need for a productive morning. Good atmosphere to boot.

The Coffee Bar - Just found this awesome coffee shop on broad st. Best homemade biscotti imaginable. Highly recommended - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gadsden, Alabama

I am thrilled to have a new coffee shop in Gadsden. There has been an opened market for one since the Coffee Well closed (and honestly even before then). This is in a great location with a cool railroad style, with the narrow long room. The brick walls are cool and the napkins are a great touch. The service is good and the people are friendly. I also love the chalkboard wall with different topics for customers to contribute to once a week. I had a regular latte my first visit, which was good. On my second visit, I had a chai latte, they were out of the regular chai and recommended a chocolate chai. This wasn't my favorite but it was still good. I plan to make this a regular spot for me when I am in Gadsden visiting family. I hope it sticks around for a long time. read more

Good atmosphere. Interesting art pieces on the walls. There is live music, often times. I had a cappuccino that wouldn't win any awards, but was pleasant nonetheless. The barista was nice. It was mostly a younger crowd, when I visited. Overall, it is a great place to go and have a relaxing coffee break and chat with family and friends... when the music isn't blaring that is. That was my fault for sitting in the back right next to the sound stage. read more

Awesome local spot in Gadsden. I had such a good Ethiopian coffee. Great service and place to work for a few hours.

I was pleasantly surprised by the service, the coffee, the pastries, and conversation-starter napkins. I had my coffee black with a freshly baked, banana nut muffin; my friend had a caramel macchiato. This is a great, non-Starbucks option for coffee in the Gadsden area. read more
