    Acai Bowl and Vanilla Latte

    The food was delicious, it was exactly what we needed. The cashier was so friendly and kind and there was live music while we were there and he was great! My sister and I rode the Silver Comet / Chief Ladiga Trail to Elevated Grounds and used the shuttle service that Brandon, the owner at Elevated Grounds, offers. I cannot recommend this enough. Brandon is fantastic, he gave us great tips for the next time we do the trail and told us about the history of it and the attractions that are along the trail! It was a perfect end to a great biking weekend. I got Brandon's number by calling Elevated Grounds and asking about the shuttle service. Again!! Perfect bike weekend! Everybody should do it! :) thanks again Brandon! (also check out the garden by the side of the coffee shop, so pretty)

    One of the beat coffee places I have come across. I had to come to Piedmont, Al for work and ran into this place. They have really great customer service. It's a nice spot if you need to study or work with their cozy environment. The food and coffee is so amazing. I had the "spice spice baby" ice coffee which I loved soo much. You won't be disappointed.

    If you're ever in Piedmont Al, you're in for a real treat! Downtown has some great little stores to do some visiting at and some great history throughout! I highly recommend it for a morning/afternoon visit! Now for Elevated Grounds! The moment you walk in the entrance is decorated with decor for the season, it's very inviting. The sound of music fills the entire establishment, you look around and it's very inviting, it almost resembles the living room of one of your closest friends! With games on every table to play while you're passing the time with family or friends. You're welcomed with a warm greeting from the young lady as she cheerfully explains their food and drink selections. We chose two lattes to drink one was the "Emily" mine was a latte with Sugar free Cinnabon flavoring. My wife ordered a bacon, egg and cheese bagel, and two chocolate muffins, for each of our children. I ordered one of their signature breakfast wraps that had egg, bacon, sausage, cheese and sauce on it. The coffees were incredible! Easily one of the best coffees I've had. Major chains have absolutely no comparison to this coffee. You can taste the coffee is fresh pressed, and the flavoring does not overpower the coffee, just enough to provide a flavor kick and at the same time still enjoy the fresh coffee flavor, It's such an enjoyable drink. Next the muffins, I had a bite of the chocolate muffin, it was very moist and had a very fresh chocolate taste. My son loved it. My wife's bagel was very fresh, and delicious, she really enjoyed it, plenty of bacon and egg, it wasn't missing a thing. My wrap was extraordinary and I'll explain why. So many times you'll go to an establishment, and they have a "wrap" part ways through, the wrap is gooey and then the filling falls into the plate, and you're then resorted to scooping the fillings up with a fork. Not here, the spinach herb wrap was perfectly folded and "cooked" with the contents inside, not a single morsel fell out of the wrap. Period! It all retained its form. Now for the contents.... Oh the contents... The egg was a chopped egg white, along with fresh ham, cheese, and sausage in their sauce and cheese, cheese perfectly melted with its components making for a delightful beginning to this Monday morning. I highly recommend them for a morning meal and coffee, we WILL be back soon for lunch very soon!

    I absolutely love this beautiful place! The owners are so kind and attentive. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. The garden is so peaceful and lovely. The owners always ask and really listen to the customer's feedback to make this the best experience! I love coming here as a rest and lunch spot for my long bike rides. Will continue to return! Everything I've ever had here is so delicious!

    Great baked goods

    Awesome stopover for Pinhoti Trail hikers. Great coffee, made to order sandwiches, and shuttle services to and from the trail! A class act!

    The Hatter Cafe - Chicken and biscuits with four pepper corn

    We love The Hatter, and have eaten at this whimsical little restaurant several times and absolutely…read moreloved it! However, I recently reserved The Hatter for my great granddaughter birthday. The staff was NOT trained for a tea party, which is ironic. We had reservations for 3 adults and one child....we waited over 30 minutes to get served. They brought out water and never asked if we wanted our tea. We got our tiers, but they still didn't bring out tea, we had to ask for it. The food on the tiers were not good...like a biscuit with no jam. I had to ask for small plates and we had to pour our own tea. All in all, a disappointing tea party after our 2 hour drive! My granddaughter is only 2, so she had a good, special time, and for that I praise the ambience of this cute restaurant! But since the restaurant is an Alice and Wonderland place, the staff should be trained to hold an equally magical tea party!! PS. When we got the bill, they had over charged us by 42.00. Remember, before you tip, they add a tip too! The manager did correct our card for their mistake. Sorry, The Hatter, we were very disappointed. A tea party at an Alice and Wonderland restaurant should be MAD and crazy special!

    Outstanding service, decor, ambience, etc. Great food, coffee, and tea at a very reasonable price…read more The service was prompt and friendly, and the gift shop had a multitude of treasures. If you're traveling anywhere near Mentone/DeSoto State Park, this is a place you don't want to miss.
