PIPER AND LEAF Tea & Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Huntsville

Piper and Leaf has really exploded in Huntsville over the last couple of years!

This particular iteration claims a fairly spacious building right by Constitution Hall Park, so it's an easy walk if you're exploring downtown.

I've had P and L several times over the years, but I've been frequenting this location lately after work because it's hot out and cold iced tea is so refreshing!

There's plenty of space to sit inside and they have free Wi-Fi, so this would also be a good spot to study or work if you're looking for that.

They have hot tea, iced tea, coffee, hot chocolate, boba, etc. The staff is generally quite friendly and on my second visit they were especially helpful and provided great recommendations.

I've tried the Sassyfrass Strawberry and the Orchard Peach. Both were good, but I liked the Orchard Peach better personally - it was slightly sweeter and just had more flavor. I do wish it didn't have to be caffeine free though, lol.

The price is a little high for the size of the drink, and most of my visits I think they've gone a little too heavy on the ice, but P and L provides a tasty, colorful, refreshing treat perfect for hot days. Give them a...

I went there for afternoon tea and I really enjoyed it. I think their tea is often really good, but it is almost often bitter and needs honey or sugar. I found that this was true for afternoon tea as well. I think that it might be they steep their tea for too long.

The tea choices were good. They had four all together, two caffeinated and two caffeine free, so there was something for everyone. I am amrita to apples so I have to be careful when I drink their tea because several have some in them.

The small bits were good. They had a chicken salad croissant, which I could not eat because I'm allergic to chicken, but the person I went with said it was okay (needed a little salt). They had cucumber sandwiches, but not in proper afternoon tea preparation since they all had their crusts. These were actually pretty good, although the white bread was a tad mushy. The best part were the small desserts. There was a mini cinnamon roll,a brownie, and a lemon cake. The brownie and lemon cake were to die for and the trees paid really well with them.

I highly recommend trying this...

I rated the food low because they don’t have any gluten-free or dairy-free food options, which means I can’t eat there. But I’ve been a fan of their wide variety of teas and lattes for years. This location has a cozy yet airy vibe, a comfortable back porch area, and is easy to walk to from the courthouse, park, and my workplace. I appreciate the staff always being willing to lend a hand with their card reader and touch-screen, which are inaccessible to blind customers like myself. Until the credit card processing industry changes its accessibility standards, it’s up to baristas and cashiers to make up the difference, and the people at Piper & Leaf do a fine job of making me feel welcome rather than like a burden when I...
