I was glad to try it on this visit. It's impressively large inside and so there's tons of space to spread out so you can have peace and quiet to work or read or space to gather with friends. It was fairly empty and quiet when I visited but it was later in the afternoon for a coffee. They also have a small selection of goods that would make nice gifts, such as tea bags and honey. The employee working was very nice and we chatted a little about the new specialty drink she was workshopping. The drink menu is creative and has a lot of different options. They also have sandwiches and other light lunch options. I asked her what her favorite drink was and she said she liked the honeybee latte (espresso with vanilla syrup and honey) extra sweet. I replied that I like a little coffee in my dessert and asked her to make me one. It was out quickly and looked yummy - maybe a tiny bit small for the price but nothing egregious. Overall, I liked the drink. The ground cinnamon on top was a nice touch. I'm glad she made it extra sweet because regular might not have been quite enough for me. I did think the vanilla had a slightly artificial taste to it that I didn't love, but it also wasn't egregious. I'd probably try a different latte if I return just to explore the other options and see if I found one I liked better, but again, overall, I was satisfied with my experience. This place is worth a visit if you're needing caffeine or a good place to hang out in the area.

They have a very cool gift shop that you can browse while waiting and we hadn't even seen half of it before our table was ready. The staff was so sweet and concerned about us in the weather. We received water as soon as we were seated and then ordered the Birthday tea. You can buy any of their teas and you can purchase any of the tea sets you see around the restaurant. Every time I looked around I saw something new! We ordered grits, hash browns, French toast and avocado toast. Everything was tasty and the chef even stopped by-which is always a nice touch. The staff even sang Happy Birthday once I informed our server it was my special weekend. The chef gave me bread pudding-now I'm not a bread pudding fan, but it was very good! There was just enough crispy bread and a very smooth and sweet sauce on top. All in all, the space was clean, the service was excellent and the food was solid.

When I am traveling, I love to find places that are not just about food, but about the experience…read more The Hatter Cafe is one. Picture a place that transports you into Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. That tables are all themed according to different characters. The waitress dressed like Alice. A small store - the Rabbit Hole - where you can shop while you wait. This shop has all sorts of merchandise that is Wonderland themed (as well as some huge, excellent cake cookies). Welcome to the Hatter Cafe. This is one of two spots you see recommended for Mentone, Alabama, which is on my route from Nashville to Rome, Georgia. The drive up to the place takes up up a road with some beautiful scenery. You pass through the town of Mentone and the Hatter Cafe is on the right. This is also a bed & breakfast for those wishing to visit nearby Desoto State Park, and its falls, or Cloudlands, which is a bit further. I have included pix of the BnB. Only 2 rooms, but each has a hot tub. The menu is limited and focused, although there are ample choices for even the choosiest of guests. Not surpringly, they have an ample selection of teas (and coffee for the non-tea lover). We sat at the Humpty Dumpty table and decided on the Ribeye with both Mushroom Gravy (mine) and Peppercorn Sauce (hers). Meal starts with a salad made from local produce, which was clear from the freshness of the tomatoes. Off to a great start. Then the steak. The sauces are on the side, so you can opt in or out (in other words, don't be afraid to order one). Of the two sauces, I thought I would like the mushroom gravy more, but the peppercorn was phenomenal. Veggies also local and prepared to perfection. This is one I would gladly return to in the future and may even book a room the next time. Thanks to the staff for allowing us to preview the rooms.

We used to get the portabella burger, grilled cheese, and sometimes soup, sometimes salad. Then we split a piece of hummingbird cake or carrot cake. We liked the food, the music, and the outside dining. Then one week it was very busy. We got there before they opened. We were told our standing reservation could not be honored because there were so many reservations called in. And that there was a ninety minute wait. Yikes we thought. We drive from far away; near the Tennessee line. We had to quit going, because of the uncertainty of our reservation. We had to change to Big Bad Breakfast in South Pittsburgh TN. But it was nice while it lasted.

Reviews are kind of all over the place, I'll go middle of the road, but would tend to lean towards it probably being more along the lines of a 2.5 star location. The person working was friendly and seemed to be knowledgeable about the menu items, but that's about where the good came to a complete stop. Limited flavors available, so not a lot of options if you aren't into coffee and are looking for something different. My wife had been trying all day to get a good cup of coffee .... this wasn't it. Just to clarify, she isn't a coffee snob in any way shape or form .... she is pretty easy going when it comes to coffee. She was pretty much ready to toss what she had and not drink anymore, so really all in all not that impressed. As I type this review and keep looking at the three star rating as being 'OK', I realize that isn't a fair rating and am lowering it to a 2 star review. Again, the person working was friendly, but you're going here to buy a good cup of coffee and that isn't what we got.

We took home some cupcakes to eat later, too! The staff were very friendly and kept the line moving smoothly. We absolutely loved the decor of this shop. It is creative and quirky. They have used bicycles, pinball machines, tractors, etc to create tables! It's so artistic and fun!

This location is a fairly new addition to the area, located just off of 59 on Glenn Boulevard. It's a drive thru only, and the drive thru at this location is one of the longest I have seen for the brand, so I can appreciate that on busy days. While they have soooo many good things on the menu, my go-to is always an Iced Turtle Latte. And every time, including my visit here, it's absolute perfection and beyond tasty. Service at Scooter's is always friendly and bubbly, and this location has that down. From the speaker to the window, both associates I interacted with were great. And the young man at the window noticed I was cruising with my pup and offered a pup-cup, which my little dude loved! Overall, love me some Scooter's, and this location is the epitome of the brand. Great spot, glad it's up and running in Fort Payne, and very happy I know it's there!

There was an adult and his son probably helping out at this location. There's also a separate seating area inside for customers who want to enjoy their items. Pretty tasteful for a coffee shop. I'm unsure if there's wifi. The coffee (I ordered The Bonnie) was very good. Price was a little high for a large, but probably comparable to in terms of price to what you get at any chain place like Starbucks. I recommend checking this place out!
