High Point Market — Restaurant in Decatur

Stopped in for a pick-me-up for the short drive back to Huntsville earlier this week. Work takes me to Decatur from time to time and I'll definitely be back!

This is a cute little coffee shop / gift shop type of place in downtown Decatur. Being that it's downtown, parking is a little bit of a hassle. I didn't have a hard time finding a spot midday on a Wednesday, but be careful backing out as you're backing right into the street.

Inside, the shop is spacious and decorated nicely. It felt airy and peaceful and I could easily see myself catching up with a friend or reading or something. They have a midsize coffee menu, serve Piper and Leaf tea, and have some typical coffeeshop snacks (pastries, etc). One nice feature is a fridge with take and bake type meals and appetizers. That can prove really useful in a pinch!

Service was extra nice here: welcoming smiles, patient with questions, and working efficiently. I appreciated that you can actually order a small iced coffee here. Many places only do iced in medium or large portion sizes. The small was just enough to perk me up for the ride home, but not so much I'd have to stop for a restroom, lol.

I ordered an iced peppermint mocha as that's pretty much my favorite coffee drink of all time. This one was a good one! Not too strong on the peppermint and a discernible - maybe even stronger than average - chocolatey taste. Like a liquid thin mint! :)

I enjoyed my drink on my drive home and look forward to returning for more next time I find myself...

Nice space to come and work or hangout. Big open area with lots of tables, a couch, and a few easy chairs. I came at 8am on a Tuesday and there was one other patron in the whole place. Started to get slightly more busy around 9-10am. Overall a decent coffee shop. I just ordered a drip because that was the safest option, and I didn't want to be disappointed by a poorly made espresso drink. The drip coffee was good - a solid, well-balanced cup. I also tried a maple pecan pastry, which was also good, but not great (and by no means was it bad!)

My biggest gripe was the gal behind the counter. Not friendly and gave the "I'd rather be anywhere than here" vibe... Hence why I felt drip coffee was the safest option! I asked, "What are your food options?" She replied, "What you see is what you get," gesturing to the handful of pastries on the counter. Maybe with a different barista, you'd feel more comfortable ordering espresso and have a more pleasant experience...I'll let you know...

Stopped in here for a quick spell and a bathroom break during a long trip. This coffee shop is super nice.

In a budding quiet town, in a place I never heard of, on the way to a place I never been. Sounds like quite an adventure. I would stop in anytime I am local or passing through here and other places. This town looks like it’s fixing to grow independently (bank).

Felt safe and accepted in Alabama, pretty cool feeling after such horrible stories and fights in the news. Someone jumped off a boat to swim and fight with people. Good energy here. I hope my post bring more positive energy.

The people here don’t look like me but they may love like me. Lame but Im not taking it out. This place is art so go check it out. I took one bathroom pic though. Not sure if thats illegal but you should see it.

Weird I am somewhere different posting a pic I took doing the exact same thing...
