Great place to stop for coffee/tea after checking out the artisan shops in Lowe Mill. Baristas take care to create your beverage just the way you want it. They offered an Interesting selection of teas as well,Relaxed vibe with small tables and a few sofas around. Books are available foe reading and a harpist performed.

Wanted to love it, so looking forward to it, but as others have already noted, high tea was a bitter disappointment. House-made lunch-type sandwiches (ham and american cheese, for example on thick white bread (with crust) and mediocre store-bought pastries. The only water available is bottled. A traditional English tea this was not.

If your little and medium ones and mid sized are into DND it's a must stop after space camp out if you live close by. $27 w/o tip for 2 wild bill soda a latte dbl espresso and sandwich not too bad.

I wanted to love it. The staff is super great and friendly! 100% staff all the way. Initially the decor is very fun and whimsical. After spending 20-30 min the vibe I get is a kind of neglectful good enough feel. No vegetarian or special dietary needs food menu options. Small pastry selection as in 4 types of cookie, 3 cake type options and no they can't warm it and no there is no microwave. My husband got a sandwich which was ok. The most basic sandwich for $10 was disappointing. As much as I want to recommend it I can't. There are other places in the complex with better food

The single best place in Huntsville to sip an amazing drink in a cozy chair and just be. The staff are amazing, the products are wonderful, and the atmosphere is lovely.

How disappointing. We were so looking forward to our high tea today. They pointed us to our table instead of seating us. The food was brought with no explanation of what was being served . There was no napkins or water brought to us . 15 mins after getting our food, I went up and had to tell them what tea we wanted instead of asking what we wanted after bringing the food . The sandwiches were made in house, But nothing else was hand made, store bought pastries. Absolutely no table service at all! Total waste of money and time.

Nice little setting at the far end of floor 2, at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment, to grab a snack and drink and get off your feet for a few minutes.Staff here were really friendly and helpful to make recommendations from the menu. They also let us know about modifications they could make (such as no espresso in the milkshakes - win for me!).Like the décor, giving it a kind of castle feel. Also, very fitting, they have days that they do D & D - so if you're a fan, get on the website and check out the schedule.Prices are reasonable for the type of shop that this is and what you are getting. Drinks were good, I really can't remember the name of my shake, but it was a toasted marshmallow shake. It was certainly sweet, and I drained it pretty quickly!!I'd definitely recommend and it's a good spot to stop and get off your feet for a few minutes before going on with your journey's at Lowe.

This is every fantasy lovers dream hangout! It's located inside of Lowe Mill Arts Center on the 2nd floor. They sell a variety of artsy things on here from jewelry to notebooks. They have a decent amount of food and treats to choose from and even give the option to have a tea party. I tried their Elven Kiss Latte and the Fairy Garden Iced Tea. The coffees are a little too sweet for me, so next time I'd cut the syrup in half. The tea was perfect. I love the decor throughout. You'll notice different things from eyeball flowers to a dragon throne.

This place is so cool!!! The fantasy theming is lots of fun and the food is fabulous! I enjoyed a health potion cherry lemonade, the Eloise special soup, chicken salad sandwich, and a cream cheese danish. Not a disappointing dish among them. The danish might have been the best I've had. The pastry was so rich and buttery. The Eloise special soup was very hearty and loved the soft roll it came with. Next time I come back I want to try their milkshakes or get a group together for a tea party. It looks like they have game nights weekly. Big time looking forward to that. If you like tabletop RPGs or high fantasy in general, Dragon Forge cafe is a MUST try.
We tried this new little coffee shop on Saturday. Located in the old Alchemy coffee lounge on the 2nd floor of Lowe Mill, Dragon's Forge brings a nerdy flair to the artsy community.Stepping inside, the space is warm and cozy, with all sorts of fantasy inspired art scattered about. Each specialty drink has a hand-drawn dragon mascot that goes along with it, and there's fun memorabilia for the dragons -- stickers, T-shirts, buttons, etc. There's other kind of geeky, quirky flair, too -- cartoony kittens and possums and raccoons with funny sayings emblazoned on all the aforementioned goodies. There's ample seating and big windows looking out over Lowe Mill. Board games are available to play with friends (D&D is highly encouraged!), and there's a comfy fireplace to read by. You can schedule a tea party with friends, fancy dishes and all. Overall, very fun concept executed quite well.Service was friendly and dressed in cute regalia. Our drinks came out quickly. Boyfriend had a hot chocolate and picked up a ham and cheese sandwich from the cold case, while I ordered an iced "Vi's favorite," coffee with hazelnut and chocolate flavors along with a coffee cake muffin.We liked both drinks well enough, though they hedged a little sweet for both of our tastebuds, especially the hot chocolate. The ham and cheese was good as far as pre-prepared sandwiches go, with soft white bread and high quality ham. The coffee cake muffin was kind of disappointing: very large portion size, but dense and not super flavorful.Overall, this is a fun new place to visit, has solid drinks, and fits in well with the culture of Lowe Mill.
