About Coffee Break
We see quality coffee as a reason to slow down and take notice of the simple pleasures around us, the communities we live in, and the natural wonders that make North Alabama so unique.
Our story
Coffee Break is a specialty, small-batch coffee roaster that launched in 2023 in the Monte Sano neighborhood of Huntsville, AL.
We started out serving pour overs to friends and family in a neighbor's driveway, and grew through word of mouth, pop-ups and local events like Greene Street Market, Bailey Cove Farmers Market and Huntsville Food Hub.
A note from the founder
I started roasting coffee not only because I love a good cup (which I do!), but because I saw how a well-crafted cup of coffee can help a person pause for a moment and take notice of the things that make them feel grateful.
We're focused on making excellent coffee, and delivering it with a dose of hospitality.
I hope the next time you slow down to brew, or share, a cup, you'll be inspired to say, “Hey, this place we live is pretty great!” too.

What makes us different
Coffee Break is for local coffee lovers who appreciate freshness and want flavor depth beyond mass-market brands.
We highlight what makes each coffee distinctive: where it was grown and how it was processed after harvest.
Practically speaking, that means a heavy focus on medium- and light-roast coffees.
Fresh coffee brought to your door in Huntsville each week.
A slate of interactive coffee classes. Come curious, leave caffeinated.
The roastery and what's next
Our 10-year dream is to establish destination cafés up and down the river, tied into the Singing River Trail, where people can connect with the community, the culture of our region and the natural wonders that set North Alabama apart.
Top-notch coffee and quality hospitality are how we'll get there. Our roastery is where it starts: quality coffee, with space for public education and professional development at the core of the vision.
Our values
We love the nitty-gritty of coffee, but we aren't snobs. Our goal is to help you along your journey, wherever you're coming from.
We're mindful of our planet and the people on it, and always looking for ways to have a long-term impact with this business.
There's no way we can repay all the love and support of the people who got us here, but we'll try to make a difference for those who come next.
