Why you should follow Huntsville’s Craft Coffee Trail NOW
Reading time: 4 minutes
As a new Huntsville resident, I challenged myself to go on and complete the Downtown Huntsville Craft Coffee Trail. Would I recommend it? Yes, yes and yes! Here’s a peek at how it went, what I drank and why you should experience it for yourself.
Huntsville Craft Coffee Tour
