    This is every fantasy lovers dream hangout! It's located inside of Lowe Mill Arts Center on the 2nd floor. They sell a variety of artsy things on here from jewelry to notebooks. They have a decent amount of food and treats to choose from and even give the option to have a tea party. I tried their Elven Kiss Latte and the Fairy Garden Iced Tea. The coffees are a little too sweet for me, so next time I'd cut the syrup in half. The tea was perfect. I love the decor throughout. You'll notice different things from eyeball flowers to a dragon throne.

    We tried this new little coffee shop on Saturday. Located in the old Alchemy coffee lounge on the 2nd floor of Lowe Mill, Dragon's Forge brings a nerdy flair to the artsy community. Stepping inside, the space is warm and cozy, with all sorts of fantasy inspired art scattered about. Each specialty drink has a hand-drawn dragon mascot that goes along with it, and there's fun memorabilia for the dragons -- stickers, T-shirts, buttons, etc. There's other kind of geeky, quirky flair, too -- cartoony kittens and possums and raccoons with funny sayings emblazoned on all the aforementioned goodies. There's ample seating and big windows looking out over Lowe Mill. Board games are available to play with friends (D&D is highly encouraged!), and there's a comfy fireplace to read by. You can schedule a tea party with friends, fancy dishes and all. Overall, very fun concept executed quite well. Service was friendly and dressed in cute regalia. Our drinks came out quickly. Boyfriend had a hot chocolate and picked up a ham and cheese sandwich from the cold case, while I ordered an iced "Vi's favorite," coffee with hazelnut and chocolate flavors along with a coffee cake muffin. We liked both drinks well enough, though they hedged a little sweet for both of our tastebuds, especially the hot chocolate. The ham and cheese was good as far as pre-prepared sandwiches go, with soft white bread and high quality ham. The coffee cake muffin was kind of disappointing: very large portion size, but dense and not super flavorful. Overall, this is a fun new place to visit, has solid drinks, and fits in well with the culture of Lowe Mill.

    Nice little setting at the far end of floor 2, at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment, to grab a snack and drink and get off your feet for a few minutes. Staff here were really friendly and helpful to make recommendations from the menu. They also let us know about modifications they could make (such as no espresso in the milkshakes - win for me!). Like the décor, giving it a kind of castle feel. Also, very fitting, they have days that they do D & D - so if you're a fan, get on the website and check out the schedule. Prices are reasonable for the type of shop that this is and what you are getting. Drinks were good, I really can't remember the name of my shake, but it was a toasted marshmallow shake. It was certainly sweet, and I drained it pretty quickly!! I'd definitely recommend and it's a good spot to stop and get off your feet for a few minutes before going on with your journey's at Lowe.

    The single best place in Huntsville to sip an amazing drink in a cozy chair and just be. The staff are amazing, the products are wonderful, and the atmosphere is lovely.

    This place is so cool!!! The fantasy theming is lots of fun and the food is fabulous! I enjoyed a health potion cherry lemonade, the Eloise special soup, chicken salad sandwich, and a cream cheese danish. Not a disappointing dish among them. The danish might have been the best I've had. The pastry was so rich and buttery. The Eloise special soup was very hearty and loved the soft roll it came with. Next time I come back I want to try their milkshakes or get a group together for a tea party. It looks like they have game nights weekly. Big time looking forward to that. If you like tabletop RPGs or high fantasy in general, Dragon Forge cafe is a MUST try.

    This place has changed since I first reviewed it, so might as well write an update…read more I have not come here for alcohol, but they do seem to have a fair variety of wines for sale, as well as weekly wine tastings. I am glad they have different coffee drinks nowadays, including espresso tonics, which have become my favorite for summertime. The food menu is small, but covers the basics. The space is nice and open, and I am glad they removed the red tint from the windows, makes it feel more relaxing now.

    The staff here are about as hospitable and welcoming as a middle school teacher holding after…read moreschool detention. Sorority sister and I came to Charlie Foster's to get a glass of vino after dinner at El Caz. The majority of wine cellars/wine shoppes/wine centric places are extremely friendly, not tethered to a chair, and very engaging because, it's wine after all, and most wine lovers love nothing more than talking about wines! Rather than look over a wine list, I just asked for a glass of pinot grigio. The young man gave me the saddest pour I have seen in my life, again, in the requisite plastic purple Solo cup, and guess what this regrettable purchase cost me? $12.00. For a little more than double that cost, at about $26.00 I can get an entire bottle of Italian pinot grigio at Nick's ristorante, which is 4 *full* glasses!!!! Originally, I wanted to see what kinds of wines they had for sale; however, after this very transactional and impersonal interaction, I was ready to leave. I would suggest that management/owners train their personnel on wines and have them attend actual wine tastings with a sommelier and learn a few talking points about the various types and vineyards they represent. Staff should mingle with patrons to see what the person is interested in (would they like a dry white wine bottle to drink inside, a purple cup "to go," or several bottles for an upcoming event) and encourage things both that the customer prefers or is just outside the customer's comfort zone and peaks the patron's interest. I would also suggest they select staff who actually have a personality.

The ingredients were fresh, the quality is top notch and each beverage was full of flavor. There are a lot of big name Coffee Shops that are running solely on Brand Recognition and people keep the seats warm in those establishments, but if you don't try this amazing Shoppe, you will be doing yourself a great disservice. I do have one cautionary advisory though........ everything on the menu should come with a Surgeon General's Warning Label that reads, " WARNING!!!! Consuming any one of these beverages will turn you into an Addict! You will crave these beverages at the most inconvenient time (like when this business is closed for the day, when you are away on a business trip or when you wake up in the middle of the night looking for a tasty treat). The Owners cannot be held responsible for your obsession, but they promise to provide immediate relief for your cravings. Disclaimer: Relief is provided during normal operating business hours only (unless you happen to personally know the Owners, to which you may be able to Sweet Talk them into making you a tasty beverage after hours by appointment only). Dang it! Now I want a Wilberry Smoothie and I think Gathering Grounds is closed right now (sad face and growling stomach).

    I still like this place and have even gotten "real food" there…read more Pros: Staff are friendly! They nicely ground the bag of (overpriced) coffee I bought with zero complaints. The breakfast sandwiches and BLT are decently executed, but I'm REALLY not a fan of their bagels. Their bread (particularly the baguette) is fantastic, though. Note: it sells out quickly. You can still pick up your to-go order without having to deal with people. They now have a cute bookshop inside. They make their own cream cheese! Cons: If I'm paying $1.50 for an avocado add on, PLEASE don't let it be oxidized and brown and gross. This makes me sad. Parking is still a nightmare. See above about the bagels. I'm prepared for the hate I'm about to get, but I prefer Bruegger's...which is sad, as I'm sure they're produced and come in frozen. Prices have gone up, but that's to be expected. I would love, however, the option to not add on a side for less moolah. I don't want their straight from the bag chips, random baby carrots, or (somewhat icky) fruit. Depending on the timing, you may be able to get a seat. Or you may be fighting a soccer mom with 4 screaming toddlers just to pick up a to go order. Still a fan, but know what you're getting.

    This is just for the bagels. The good Parking is plentiful and easy in and out. The bagels were…read morepretty good you can tell they were prepared in the traditional boiled manner that results in the chewy outside texture. And they offer just enough Schmear as an extra and will toast it for you. It is a quaint place that offers a place to hang out for a while. The staff was cordial not overly friendly and seemed really focused on the tasks at hand. I would have liked to have had a better breakfast bagel sandwich selection as that is what I was looking for but most of the offerings were on toasted bread.
