Amélie Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Huntsville

This is the second time I have tried this coffee shop. I only tried them again because the best coffee shop around (Mudslingers) was closed for the holidays. First time was a cold brew and this time was a latte. Both drinks, including my wife's, are always wattered down tasting. Everything we have had seems to be mostly flavoring and milk or water. My latte this morning just tasted like sweet milk. No espresso. My wife said the same thing about her coffee. It's a nice store with lots of seating and memorabilia for sale. This is another store like Starbucks that asks you for a tip on the touch screen before even receiving the product. I avoid places like this. I won't go back for these reasons. Update: I don't understandstand your reply. I don't own a small business. I am not affiliated with any coffee shop. You can't just assume all the bad reviews are competitive shops. I can come back in person and provide any information that you feel like you need in order to prove that I don't own or have stake in any coffee business. I can be there tomorrow morning. I am just a customer. Look at my other reviews. Do I also own all of those types of companies? I didn't insult your food or staff because they were nice and I never had the food. However, the coffee is awful. Four different drinks with the same problem. Didn't even taste like coffee or espresso was a part of the recipe. Instead of assuming you know me or think I'm a competitor, just ignore my review and move on. This is just one person's opinion. There are clearly several other loyal customer you have on these reviews, so some people do like it. Best of luck to the business. Honestly, I can swing by and talk...

I've tried this place twice, I got a shaken espresso the first time, although I'm not the biggest ice coffee drinker because it gets water down, it was hot and decided to try it. I couldn't finish it due to the taste where I got a mouth full of acid and of course that watered-down flavor.

I decided to give this place the benefit of the doubt today where I got a hot pumpkin spice latte with 2% milk. Can't even taste the pumpkin. It tastes of low quality beans where it's full of acid. Even McDonald's coffee or drinking a low quality maxwell coffee taste better.

There is no strength or boldness of the espresso, just bitterness.

Although, the coffee is not the best, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is nice which is why it's not a 1 star.

Right now, this place gets my lowest rating on my list of coffee drinks as I...

The hot coffee i got (mocha latte) and the chocolate croissant my daughter got were good. I would return fo those. I liked the atmosphere: elegant modern with classic touches. The cold vanilla cream latte my daughter got was not good. I tried it to not waste it and have had better tasting cough medicine. It tasted neither like vanilla nor like any form of cream. It barely tasted like coffee, which is disappointing in any cold brew. Had i gotten that as my first drink there - as opposed to my actual first drink, the hot mocha that I would absolutely go back for - had i gotten tbe cold brew my daughter got as my first drink there, I would not go back.

As it stands, I hope it was just an off drink. The warm drink I got, the pastry my daughter got, and the atmosphere were all good. Just avoid...
