Super cool place to get some gourmet coffees. They have an old bean roaster right on the main room. You can watch them do batches of coffee while you peruse or enjoy one of their daily special brews.

The "Klatsch" as it's known locally, truly is a slice of Huntsville and has been since 1976 (that's 48 years!)! Of course, I've had their coffee, who hasn't? Their iconic 1929-vintage Jabez Burns coffee roaster, purchased in New Orleans is the focal point of the coffee shop. That, and the beautiful earthy large, 130-lb. burlap bags in which their beans arrive, are located in the same room. One of my best childhood friend's parents loved the Klatch's beans so much, they mail ordered the bags of roasted beans and had them delivered to whatever part of the world work took her Daddy to El Paso, TX, and further. More interesting for me and hordes of others was the Kaffeeklatsch bar, which, sadly, closed in 2015. For decades, "Klatsch" was the place to go to hear live blues, especially on Sunday's open mic Blues Night/Sunday Blues Jam! The 'Klatsch was known for live folk, blues, and jazz. Think Microwave Dave (fun fact: He got his stage name "Microwave" Dave, here! His real name is Dave Gallaher), Dave Anderson, Amy McCarley, Old Crow Medicine Show, Rolling Stones saxophonist Bobby Keys, and more. The stage was small and intimate, and I'm sure the crowds [often winding thier way to the tiny upstairs area by sitting on the steps] exceeded the fire department capacity limit. A neighborhood hole-in-the-wall place, with a local dive bar feel, the restrooms were downstairs, and the stairwell walls as wwll as the restrooms were completely covered with all sorts of graffiti. I don't recall the food offerings, but somehow hotdogs and things like chicken salad and tuna salad stand out in memory. It was a place to get a light lunch, and you'd see all walks of life from plumbers to politicians, lawncare workers to lawyers in the Klatsch. Beers were cold, there was a full bar, and the eclectic crowd was always interesting. The tiny patio out front was a nice place to make new friends or meet people. It was a sad day when the bar part of the Klatsch closed. The owner, Carole Record (a former long-time server here), had decided to retire. I'm happy Grant and Kathy Heath are keeping the 'Klatsch alive with their delightfully locally roasted renowned coffee beans!

Best coffee I've ever had. Their beans are so good and I only wish they did espresso drinks themselves. But I'll only buy coffee from them, forget anything from any grocery store.

As a novice espresso maker I found the Klatsch's staff to have been friendly, professional, and incredibly patient in helping me select my first roast and provide some coffee bean storage basics. My second order will happen later today, I look forward to my order and perhaps some additional enlightenment.Parking: Acceptable...

Loved the vibe of this roastery! Definitely worth dropping by if you are a coffee or tea nerd :) Warning though, it isn't like a coffeeshop with lattes and baked goods. It's a straight up coffee roaster! Get some beans and brewing equipment and ask questions about the different coffee they've got in stock. They definitely had a lot!

The Kaffeeklatsch has been my go-to source for quality coffee beans, tools, and knowledge for nearly 10 years now! The staff is always super friendly and helpful, and they frequently assist me in choosing a new blend or a cozy favorite to match whatever I'm looking for either for me or as a gift.The historic building coupled with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans enhances it's charming atmosphere and makes the business unique amung other similar establishments. I fully recommend getting your coffee beans from here!

I don’t drink a lot of coffee, but wanted to make lattes etc. at home. Bought a French Press pot and frother with assistance of a very sweet, patient and helpful associate. Found the exact items on Amazon for $60 less! Took the items back within a week of purchase. No where do they advertise nor was I told items cannot be returned and the manager stated that they greatly inflate pricing because they are a small business. I bought more coffee beans while I was there as a bit of compension and to express my thanks. Manager told me never to return to purchase any of their products as i did a return.
Greatest staff. They are patient and willing to discuss coffee with you for hours. I used to get my coffee elsewhere but have happily become a "reluctant convert!"

This is an amazing establishment for coffee enthusiasts. They have an antique roaster onsite and process their own beans. They have a small offering of drip coffee to buy, but the core of their business is beans. The store smells heavenly and they were well staffed when I visited one Friday morning. The shop is downtown, so parking is on the street paid. Once inside, the staff is well versed in their different offerings and really willing to help you find the perfect option for you. They will grind beans as well to your specific needs, in case you have not invested in a grinder yet. They also have some coffee brewing supplies and machines as well. I most definitely recommend it for any one who loves coffee.

The staff was super helpful with helping us decide which coffee was best for us. They had great recommendations and would let us smell the beans. And the coffee was top notch quality! Also it smells amazing inside and outside which is what drew us there!

Great coffee with many choices. Although I don't usually drink tea, they have a wide selection of teas to choose from.

All you have to do when you are downtown is follow the roasting beans smell. Once you are in there, you will be greeted by a kind and knowledgeable person! I travel for work from Nashville 2 to 4 times a month. I stop in every time either for looseleaf tea (fragrant fruit mountain oolong ) or where my nose takes me for coffee!
