Bakeries
You HAVE to try the honey cinnamon scone. It is my birthday treat every year (and my any time I want treat who am I kidding??)
The Moon Bakeshop
This bakery feels as if you’ve been transported to the streets of France. The latte and quiche are my favs!
L'Etoile Patisserie
This Asian-French style bakery is such a fun experience! You get to choose what you like and there are SO many things to try. The chocolate cake is our go to for special occasions. It’s the perfect blend of light and moist!
Cakes, Coffee, Pastries, Bakery in Huntsville, AL
The Dubai chocolate strawberry cup is phenomenal
Chocolate Gallery
The most delicious tiny donuts ever! They have a million flavors but I’m partial to the cinnamon sugar.
Bigfoot's Little Donuts
The breakfast burrito was perfection, especially with their hot sauce!!
Good Company Cafe
The menu rotates which is so fun! Inside they have a little table with crayons and coloring pages for toddlers. Also, the waffle cones are soo fresh and crunchy
Big Spoon Creamery
I DREAM OF THE GINGERBREAD LATTE
Rooster's Crow Coffee Roastery
Restaurants
You have to get there early because they sell out of flavors quick! But we’ve never had a bad combo even if it was an odd bagel flavor left LOL
Canadian Bakin
FRIED PICKLES NEED I SAY MORE??
MELT HUNTSVILLE
this is where I was after every single OBGYN appointment for my daughter. The pancakes are perfection and they have fun things to shop for while waiting!
The Standard Social Market
As weird as it sounds - the chili is so good! Also we really enjoyed the burgers and milkshakes!
Can you really go wrong with various stir fried proteins?? No you cannot! We love Ichiban!
New Ichiban
Thrifting
This is one of my fav thrift stores in Huntsville. They have multiple locations across the city!
Home - The Saving Way
I go at least once a week. I shouldn’t be giving up my fav but I have found most of my family’s Christmas/bday/anniversary gifts here the past year. (Not to mention my vintage dining chairs;)
Goodwill Store & Donation Center
I typically always walk away with either clothing for myself, my husband, or my daughter that is in near new condition!
America's Thrift Stores - Where it's a new store every day
My favorite antique store in Huntsville. I always walk away with a new find, the playlist is always cozy 50s, and they have a clean bathroom (which is a must after coffee and antiques lol)
Top Key Market
Shopping
This is where I went to get a “dad” hat to tell my husband we were expecting our first child. The customer service was like no other! I’ll never forget that shopping experience and how special they made me feel!
Little Cotton Shoppe
We may not have toy-r-us anymore, but we have a learning express and it’s AMAZING! The prices are reasonable and they have a wide variety of toys. From baby to toddler to tween. They have so much available!
Learning Express Toys of Huntsville, AL
I love to come here when I have a specific gift in mind so that I can support a local Alabama business!
Alabama Goods - Huntsville
This is only a few times a year, but I always try to sell some of my daughter’s stuff primarily so I can shop early! I got hundreds of dollars worth of 100% cotton clothing for only $60!
kid's market!
They have the BEST customer service! They give it to you straight on what would/wouldn’t go well in your yard. My family are repeat customers from my grandma to my mom to my sister and I - we love Bennets!
Bennett Nurseries
I have allergic reactions to most affordable jewelry but not from Dress Up. So I get most of my new pieces from here and I’ve yet to have a breakout! I love them!
We’ve been going here the past few years with our family and it’s always so much fun! The Ferris wheel is the kids favorite but the food trucks are mine and my husbands favorite!
Tate Farms
Carlee why are you recommending a grocery store? Because this one feels like you’ve walked back in time, with its wooden floors and delicious deli is a must try!
Star Super Market - Huntsville
I went here with a group of girlfriends for a bachelorette party. We had the best time and gave the future bride the pieces we made as a way to wish her well in her marriage! The service was great and it was so fun!
Color Me Mine
This is where my husband and I got engaged, where his great grandmother has her birthday parties, and where we go for a nice calming hike! The trails are simple and the pond is stunning! Not to mention the covered bridge!
Green Mountain Nature Preserve
Whether you’re going for the tinsel trail, panoply, or just a simple picnic Big Spring Park is a perfect place for a slow Saturday!
Big Spring International Park
The tulips are stunning! But they also have a playground, food trucks, and vendor booths on Saturdays. It’s a full day outing!
