Honest Coffee Roasters
114 Clinton Ave E #106, Huntsville, AL
Crema's Take
“Honest Coffee Roasters is a calm sanctuary tucked into downtown Huntsville's Clinton Avenue, where thoughtfully roasted espresso and pour overs pair beautifully with delicious breakfast sandwiches and pastries in a subtly lit, inviting space. The baristas strike that rare balance of being both attentive and unobtrusive, creating an atmosphere that feels equally welcoming whether you're lingering with a laptop or meeting a friend for a quiet conversation. With generous indoor and outdoor seating and a surprisingly expansive menu, it's the kind of neighborhood roastery that locals have clearly embraced as their go-to escape from the bustle outside.”

We tried Honest Coffee for the first time this morning and loved the experience. Honest is a cozy, little coffee shop in the heart of downtown Huntsville. We ordered a large drip coffee, a medium roast with origins in Guatemala and Colombia, and a Bootlegger latte with a house made bourbon salted caramel sauce. For breakfast I had the Breakfast Sandwich which was a bacon, egg, cheddar cheese and mayo on toasted sourdough. My wife has the Brie L.T. which was Brie cheese, spinach, bacon, tomato and mayo on toasted sourdough. Our coffees were great and my wife loved her sandwich! My sandwich was good, but would have preferred a fresh cracked egg. Overall it was a great experience and will definitely visit again!
Stopped by Honest Coffee Roasters on Clinton Avenue and found it to be a calm, inviting break from the busy street just outside. The atmosphere is subtly lit with light, unobtrusive music playing in the background, creating a comfortable space that feels relaxed but focused. It’s easy to see why many business professionals were settled in working on laptops during my visit. They source their beans from Franklin, Tennessee, and offer a wide selection on site—from pastries and bottled drinks to water bottles, mugs, and multiple varieties of bagged Honest Coffee beans. The décor leans Americana, understated and warm without feeling forced. I ordered the 12oz Bootlegger coffee with house-made bourbon caramel sauce, along with a breakfast sandwich featuring hickory-smoked bacon, eggs, and sharp cheddar on toasted sourdough. Both were well-executed and flavorful, and the prices felt reasonable for the quality and setting. Friendly staff, quality coffee, and a calm atmosphere make this a solid stop if you’re looking for a quiet moment or a productive place to settle in downtown.
We enjoyed a wonderful visit to Honest Coffee Roasters. The coffee was excellent, the biscuit was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. There were so many great choices to pick from, and the space itself makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. A great spot for quality coffee, good food, and a welcoming vibe. We’ll definitely be back!
Great roaster with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The coffee was solid and all of the breakfast items we got were delicious and well plated. If you're looking for good coffee in Huntsville this is the place to go.
This coffee shop is great overall. Staff is attentive and nice. The breakfast sandwich was excellent. Coffee was also delicious. They gave a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Menu is large for a coffee shop. Downsides are the high prices and loud club style music. It’s distracting and obnoxious.
