Deb and Abby were hospitable and helpful! the coffee was just excellent. I had a double espresso/cappuccino. What a coffee spot should be: rustic and warm with exposed brick and pleasant aromas!

Wonderful lunch! I ordered the Downtown Deli with Turkey (it was missing the tomato, but it was still really great) on lush white sourdough and homemade spicy ranch sauce with a Vanilla latte on the side. YUMMY. Great group of people that work here. I WILL return for sure. The ONLY reason for the 4-star review is because of the parking. I had to park across the street, and during lunch hours that road is quite busy. Not a reason to turn down this experience though. They even have enough space for you to come in and dine. Great lunch outting!

Walked in for a coffee and saw FRESH BAKED sourdough bread. I wasn't even hungry but couldn't resist. The owner said she could make whatever I wanted, and somehow she made a simple toast & jelly taste delicious. The atmosphere is perfect as well. Cozy enough to make you feel at home yet professional enough to be a great spot to meet with a friend or colleague. You can tell a lot of love goes into this space and I am looking forward to going back.

Last minute we all have time to explore. Athens Alabama is an awesome drop spot for families! Cute shops, nice people, warm smiles and inviting atmosphere! Safe and sanitized and still interacting!! So much better the bustle and faux efforts in much of Huntsville... southern hospitality is waning in Huntsville and it's strained in the busy push to be a tech hub. The train line is running though the town as I sip a specialty latte. Hubby just ordered a double Expresso (Italy eat your heart out. Expresso in the heartland of Alabama is just a wonder. So is the carrot cake and cinnamon rolls.) Revive is built in a house, the rooms are full of bright ambient light, simply welcoming. Rocking chairs out front. Kids area, bathroom had a changing table for kids (always overlooked in so many places for coffee, mom's need coffee, kids need to feel welcome ) Good wifi signal They have gifts and coffee locally roasted.

Cute cafe! We stopped by for the first time and got breakfast sandwiches and the holiday flavored lattes. Everything was delicious. The inside of the cafe was very relaxing and well decorated. They have a kids table in the corner as well, which I thought was a great feature that I wish more places had!
