Toasty Cafe & Health Bar — Restaurant in Florence

I saw a Huntsville influencer posting about this place several months ago and it looked soooo good! I kept it stored in my head knowing I'd want to visit the next time I got around to Florence. I got my chance last weekend!

This appears to be a somewhat newly opened coffeeshop and eatery. It's in the more historic-looking part of Florence and the streets and storefronts are cute and quaint (if not slightly challenging for parking).

I walked into an absolutely beautiful, modern shop with bright, welcoming lighting and fun decor. I was greeted by a barista promptly. They had a small selection of pastries in a display at the counter. It also looks like they serve smoothie bowls and bagels.

I nabbed one of the last chocolate chip cookies and placed an order for a small iced "La Abuelita." My order took a few minutes but there was a group of four customers who came in shortly before me so I get it. The large stool I sat on while I waited was surprisingly comfy. I'm not sure if the vibes are perfect for a study sesh, but it would be a great place to catch up with a friend or do some creative work.

I headed back to my car so we could start the drive home. We shared the chocolate chip cookie. It had a different sort of sweetness to it -- in almost a coconut-y way -- but it was good. For me, there were a few too many chocolate chips; it was a little hard to eat in parts and definitely highly thirst-provoking. It was a decent cookie but didn't blow my mind.

The Abuelita however was really good. I am OBSESSED with their little rounded cups for iced beverages. They're compostable, too -- I thought I loved them aesthetically, but they're more earth-friendly, too -- yay! The drink was a little on the thin side but had a lovely chocolatey flavor that was sweet but didn't overwhelm the smooth coffee. I really enjoyed this drink!

I'd be happy to visit again sometime to enjoy the vibes and try another specialty drink, or nab another La Abuelita....

Toasty Café & Health Bar is such a charming spot in Florence!

I had the Indigo Acai Bowl, and it was so fresh and delicious. My daughter couldn’t get enough of her chocolate chip bagel, and I loved the sugar-free iced caramel coffee.

The cozy atmosphere and friendly vibe made it a perfect breakfast stop for us.

This place was really nice. The drinks were great and the food was good. Was a little disappointed with the food price vs what you got but overall would go back. Drinks were priced similarly to what’s you’d expect at a coffee shop but it’s definitely not the kind of place you go for the...
