Restoration Coffee House — Restaurant in Wetumpka

Good things: for this artsy girl from St. Pete Florida, I love the open space concept, and the antique comfy chairs are a plus! The people behind the counter are warm and inviting. And the biggest shock to me was that they made a lavender latte without making it taste like I’m eating the entire flower. The portion of honey and lavender were spot on and did not drown out the taste of my coffee but compliment it. Which just about every other coffee shop in Alabama has failed at the Restoration has succeeded. I can’t wait to try more of their items!

Now why did I take away a star?

Three reasons, one the floor is disorienting. I really hope they get a rug to break up the floor’s pattern upstairs but mostly down stairs when you first walk in. If it distracts me that much I worry about an elderly person with sight issues.

Two they have green shades upstairs which is a beautiful touch of color but I would love to see more greenery. Maybe some Pothos cuttings. Heck I might bring some cuttings from my garden for them to break apart the black, white, and brown.

Three they have an adorable bread box to hold their pastries and bakery items. But it’s too close to the counter so you can’t really see inside of it or really even notice it because everything blends in with it. If they’re going to keep it on the counter, I would definitely suggest like a cake tree, or pastry dome made out of glass or crystal so guest eyes are drawn to it.

Lastly, if you do plan to visit and I highly encourage you to do so, remember this is downtown Wetumpka and parking might be scarce. This is no way the fault of the company. I just wanna make sure you’re...

We are on a cross country trip from California to South Carolina, and spent the afternoon shopping in Wetumpka's quaint and charming downtown area. While shopping, we stopped by Restoration Coffee House for some coffee. My wife ordered the Twin Turbo, an iced vanilla-caramel concoction, and I had a cold brew topped with sweet cream. We were both very happy with our drinks. They were smooth and full of flavor. The coffee house is located in the former Bank of Wetumpka building, and it is grand! It has seating upstairs and downstairs, and it is decorated with vintage furnishings. There is actually a grand piano sitting on a platform above the entry door, just because! Besides the great atmosphere and tasty coffee drinks, the baristas topped off the experience with their friendliness and helpful suggestions. They guided us to just the perfect drinks, and promised to redo them if we weren't satisfied. Not only did they help us choose our coffee, we asked later for dinner recommendations and they helped with that as well. These baristas are about the closest thing Wetumpka has for a Bureau of Tourism! If you want a great coffee experience in Wetumpka, you've got to...

I've had some amazing coffee in my life, but the Biscoff Cookie Butter latte I got from Restoration this past fall was TRULY phenomenal. It's made my top 3 best coffee I've ever had. The little sausage and sauce filled pastry was a great little breakfast to have with the coffee as well. The restroom is extremely handicap accessible. The accessible entrace is unfortunately around back and the entry way is through two 30-ish inches wide doors that are only about 3 feet apart. After struggling to get in and enjoying the shop, the barista girls inside were extremely kind and helpful when I was ready to head out. While the entrance was not good for wheelchair users, it was nice to have people who work there that were so kind to help when...
