The coffee shop is new and very inviting - set in the center of the small, charming town of Huntsville. The service was friendly and the coffee was very good. Great place to make a quick stop. Well recommended!
Love the coffee and the tasty bakery bites are the 🗝 to my heart.
Had the breakfast sandwich with sausage and provolone. It was amazing!! Coffee was great. Definitely will be back
Good coffee in a nice small mountain town. Friendly staff who remade my drink after I spilled it getting into my car. Great atmosphere for those in the mountains and skiers. Great views of surrounding mountains as well.
I stopped to read for a bit, the hot cocoa was perfect, the ambience and decoration are really pretty. But the lady at the counter was not very friendly, kind of rude. I guess only the hotel guest get nice treatment.
Great personal customer service, beautiful drinks and one of a kind atmosphere 👌
Probably the most perfect coffee shop I have ever been to. The spaciousness, the coffee, the vibe, the people, there is nothing I would change and would love a replica on the east coast!
Pretty good, they could use more consistency in their espresso though.
Just moved to the area and this is by far the best coffee I've ever had. Wonderful service and the nicest property to sit and do work or just enjoy the day. Definitely coming back alot!
We are local to Huntsville and appreciate doing business locally. First Lift is a great place for coffee and snacks. Coffee is excellent. Pastries and sandwiches as well. So why 2 stars... well, because the hours are so random and inconsistent. Been quite a few times that we have stopped by in the afternoon for a coffee to find they are closed. Or a sign on the door that says they are closed for a private event, but no one is inside. Would love to patronize this place more, but we end up heading over to Mad Moose most of the time because at least we know they are open. If First lift could maintain normal coffee shop business hours, 6am to 6-7pm we would be happy to swing by a few times a week. And a lot of others would as well, coffee just isn't for mornings. And you cant make money if you aren't open.
I’m really disappointed to have to write this review. I used to frequent First Lift pretty regularly. We moved to the area in October of 2021 and I was sad to leave behind a favorite, locally owned coffee shop and equally as delighted to find First Lift. I’d come with my kids, grab coffee and a treat and walk to the library or the park. However, last time I was there I brought a friend who had never been before. She met me there with her two small kids and we were enjoying some treats in the lounge area before heading to the library. We were keeping a close on the kids, as we always do, making sure they knew not to touch any of the nice decor. A woman sitting there who apparently worked there decided to tell my friend “Be careful with your kids. If they break anything, they won’t be welcome here.” Word for word. I approached her and asked her to explain and she then told me that we were giving the impression that we had no control of our kids and therefore no respect for the facility. I was shocked. I always tip, I like bringing new people there, and it was becoming a favorite little outing of mine with my kids, but I’ve rarely been so shocked or offended. I very much respect the store and would never allow my kids to disrespect it intentionally. Unfortunately, what appears to be a locally owned, family friend coffee shop (attached to a hotel that I assume kids stay at as well??) is just a place to have antiques on display. Their priorities seem a bit out of place. I will no longer be giving my money to them.
Love the expresso machine & the coffee grind choices. Decent sandwiches and soup also and great atmosphere & pictures.
Great coffee & expresso and some nice soups and sandwiches. Nice staff.
The atmosphere here is great. It's very cozy inside, not too loud and the coffee is pretty good. The baristas were polite and friendly. Seems like a great place to settle in and enjoy a coffee.
My husband and I got the complementary drip coffee with our lodge stay, was not bad for free coffee. Definitely was better after adding lots of sugar and vanilla creamer but we like sweeter coffee.. Very friendly service. We did try the muffins which were very yummy!
Great atmosphere, excellent Mexican mocha
El café capuchino más delicioso que me he tomado en el condado de Weber.
Latte & vibes
Great coffee! Extremely smooth no need to add cream or sugar. Will definitely be coming back
Inside the large Compass Rose building. Latte was good. Husband's blueberry muffin was unexpectedly warmed up and it was very good. As you can see, there is a very nice outside area with an interesting arrangement to enjoy while drinking coffee. And a very pleasant employee. And a park across the street. And other shops. Just a nice place to drive to for a change of pace.
