Charlie Foster's Espresso + Wine Bar

Absolutely LOVE Charlie Foster's!! The atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxing. It's a vibe❣️
The staff is helpful and kind, the food is delicious, and the coffee is phenomenal!
I usually get an iced latte (caramel, vanilla, or both!); but I look forward to trying the brown sugar latte or espresso everyone seems to love.
As far as food, I've had the veggies sandwich, quesadila, and BLT - all chef's kiss
My friend tried a breakfast burrito and loved it. Can't recommend enough this place will always be a favorite.

We had wine and it was tasteless. Disappointed especially for the price of a glass of wine

Felt sorry for the girl behind the counter, she had to take all the orders and make all the drinks on her own. Waited 15 mins for an Americano that came out of a carafe in a to go cup for a 'here' order, for $5.00!

I got the brown sugar latte and enjoyed it. The staff was super friendly and it was a nice quiet coffee shop.

Not a bad place, but I was disappointed because originally they supported the special needs community by providing jobs and an inclusive environment, and I suppose that just “disappeared” with a renovation. I would expect a name change at least with that big of a swing from the original mission.

It’s a fine coffee shop, nothing unique or special, but has coffee and chill vibes. I wouldn’t pass on other shops to go here, but if I wanted a coffee while at Stovehouse, I would still stop in.

I ordered a latte and paid in cash and they only had coins to make change for a 10 so I said to keep it as a tip. I got the latte 15 minutes later and it didn’t taste like it had much espresso in it so I asked if I could have an extra shot and they said no and that I needed to pay an extra 4.50 for that. I might be stupid enough to pay 10 dollars for a latte but I draw the line at 15 so I just went home and made my own. They were also out of avocados so I couldn’t get the vegetarian items on the menu. Overall funny experience but I won’t go back. Vibes are good.

Such a bright and spacious spot! Lots of seating which is great when you need a place to get some work done. Unique, fun menu.

**UPDATE: the coffee shop was sold and rebranded and my prior review was regarding the original Charlie Fosters. The new espresso + wine bar still has good coffee, but an entirely different vibe than under previous ownership.

great service!

More people need to know about the rebirth of Charlie Foster’s; this place has never been better.

This isn’t remotely the same coffee shop it was before. Since the flip in ownership, the quality of the coffee has rocketed. If you’re into coffee, this is THE place in Huntsville - there’s not another shop which comes close in the variety of the speciality offerings or the quality of the espresso.

They rotate through a handful of coffees from some great roasters, and you can order any of them as pour-over, espresso, or a milk drink.

If you’re into specialty coffee, you have to check this shop out. All of the best and most interesting coffee I’ve had in Huntsville has been here.

Gold Sprint has the vibes dialed in for sure and I really enjoy going there still - but if you’re in it for the love of good and interesting coffee, Charlie Foster’s is the spot right now, no contest.

Went for the first time and I think I'll have to make this a Sunday morning tradition. 10/10 coffee and service.

This is a great coffee shop with lots of room to work or study. The booth tables all have outlets, and the tables are stable. The staff was friendly and helpful.

They serve all of the usual coffee shop favorites plus some unique items. They do have a few pastry items, and they tasty. Yes, they also have a nice wine selection. Would go again.
