Seeing Huntsville: Louise and Oleta’s

Morgan Robertson

As most college students know, a good caffeine pick-me-up can make a huge difference for a study session, paper drafting, or just to make it though the next class. The LEAP Ambassadors, thanks to Olivia, found our new favorite caffeination spot: Louise and Oleta’s! Previously located on Lake Road, Louise and Oleta’s recently expanded and moved downtown.

Now on 12th Street behind Cafe Texan, Louise and Oleta’s provides that infectious small-town ambiance, with great food, as well as coffees, lemonades, and other interesting concoctions. For this iteration of “Seeing Huntsville” Michelle, Jessica, Olivia and I sat down in the pink, pastel tea room to enjoy coffees, teas, and a few of our new favorite bites.

I chose the Farmhouse flatbread, with goat cheese and veggies. Jessica both enjoyed the cast-iron skillet mac and cheese, which was the favorite among the group. And Oliva loved the brie and apple slaw on the La Pomme sandwich.

There are endless coffees and teas to chose from, with incredible and creative flavors. For tea enthusiasts, Louise and Oleta’s also has a traditional tea service on their menu, but all the drinks we tried were good!

For catching up with friends, study sessions, or simply enjoying the aura, Louise and Oleta is the perfect place to see Huntsville–even if you already live here!
