RIVERTOWN COFFEE & TEA

Best kept secret in town!! Gourmet food, best and friendlious service and greatest coffee in town!! Ask for Cullen, John or Robbie!! Tip top everything, including awesome muffins, if you get there in time!!!

Best Pimento and cheese sandwich with sourdough bread toasted.. love it.

Always great. Love the folks that work here, and John.

Rivertown is a great place to grab a cup of jo and relax. My first in counter with this place was my sophomore year at UNA. It is one of my favorite place to study off campus. The atmosphere is welcoming, and their coffee is great as well as there food. They also have local beer too.

Cute place with great coffee. Very small and quickly crowded though

Had a great breakfast sandwich and coffee with the wife. Nice peaceful environment downtown

It is a local place for people to connect each morning before beginning their day. One of the most popular locales to meet in Florence AL.

Great atmosphere, great coffee, great food! This place is a staple of Florence Alabama.

I really wanted to like this coffee shop but it's way to small, the coffee is terrible, there is a haze and a smell so people know you've been there, and the service isn't great. It could be way better. It's also so loud in there you can't hear the people your with speak at all.

The best coffee shop in Florence. Young people come from high school and junior high school around, so it is the best place to make friends. The store clerk is kind and invites you to attend. Good memories. Lots of love <3 Miss y'all :)

Delicious vegetarian (+ egg) breakfast, fresh hot coffee with almond milk, and a casual, local, atmosphere. Wandering into Rivertown Coffee made me want to spend more time in Florence and NW Alabama to get a better feel for the place. Don't be fooled by their menu online - they serve food weekend mornings, too.

I personally just don't like the coffee or atmosphere. I know that there are a lot of people that do and thats fine. It's just not for me.

Delicious, wholesome breakfast and lunch served fresh to order

Rivertown is by far the best coffee shop I've ever had the pleasure of going to. This local favorite had the best quality coffee and staff that greet you as you enter, remember your order, and make it correctly and quickly every time. The only down side is I hate to travel because there isnt anywhere else that can match their quality and example.

The drinks and good and the food is excellent at any hour of the day. Rivertown is my go-to coffee shop, and I always feel at home there.

Great place for coffee; lunch is really good as well.

Love all the staff amd owner at Rivertown! Reasonable prices for drinks and great atmosphere! Super tasty brunch/lunch options daily. Great quaint local business that gives Florence some wonderful character!

Rivertown is always pretty busy and it isn't hard to see why. I used to go for their Caramel Frappe all the time, but recently had lunch here for the first time. I got a Turkey Pesto Panini and it was sooo good! The staff are always patient and helpful. Definitely want to go back for lunch again.

I'll tell you what to get: cafe breve and pimento cheese sandwich! Best coffee house without a doubt, and great food as well.

The best coffee shop, amazing breakfast sandwiches and I love the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. If it was closer I'd be there everyday.

I do not have one thing to say bad about this place! LOVE the food and coffee!!!!

Best people, best coffee...best breakfast burrito!!!!

My husband and I love to go here for our lunch date :) Coffee is excellent, food is amazing and the staff is very friendly and helpful when you don't know what to get.

LOVE Rivertown Coffee. Such friendly staff and such a chill atmosphere. I love how the patio was added outside so now our dogs can chill out there with us while we enjoy our time there. If you haven't tried their muffins yet - you're missing out!!! They have weird ones like "chocolate zucchini" or something like that and I've never had a bad muffin there. Food is great too, the pimento and cheese sandwich is BOMB!

The absolute best lil shop in town. Very friendly service and great food! You have to try it for yourself!

What a "sweet" cozy place. Such wonderful baked goods and great coffee. Grab a seat and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Rivertown is a cozy little coffee shop in the heart of downtown Florence. They offer great coffee drink choices. The drink in the photo pictured is a cold brew and tonic, and it is perfect for the hot days of summer. It's coffee, citrus, and effervescent awesomeness. Their food is always amazing as well. The atmosphere is very friendly and inviting, and you enjoy your sundries as you look out Seminary street. I highly recommend Rivertown as they represent three greatness of Florence, AL local businesses.

Excellent locally owned coffee shop with a diverse menu of breakfast and lunch items. Been at current location since 2004 so Rivertown has done a lot right. It is all about the coffee but lots of other drinks options available. I never have to wait long to order and prep time is speedy as well. Staff has always been friendly. The food menu has evolved over the years and currently very diverse. Ingredients are fresh. Expertly prepared but with a minimalist presentation...but it is all good.

If you go for lunch, GET THE SOUP. Doesn't matter what kind of soup they have that day, just get it.

CONS: Too many flies and uncomfortable seats. PROS: Extremely friendly service, delicious food, and cozy atmosphere.

It has been more than 10 years now, this place is one of the top reason to miss florence, AL.

It's a great place to check out and get the "real" Florence vibes

Had the corn chowder and black bean wrap. The chowder was piping hot and the wrap had just the right amount of spice. Food was awesome and at 8 bucks it was a win win

Standard "artisan" coffee shop, probably just like the one in your hometown. Good vibes, just average.

Fresh coffee, delicious homemade muffins, environmentally friendly (No styrofoam!), good cafe vibe, friendly staff.

Cozy atmosphere. My favorite place to get a Shot in the Dark.

The location is convenient if you're walking but parking is limited if you're driving over here. The staff are friendly and the coffee is great. Been coming here since the mid 2000s and other than being crowded sometimes and a bit slow for lunch, it's definitely a good spot to go. If you're in the area and craving some coffee definitely try them out. They have a great selection!

It has a smell that can only be recognized as "that Rivertown smell".

I have not tried the coffee so I'm not totally in the position to give a review. Still, I have sat in here and read a book so I guess I'll just be reviewing the atmosphere. Anyways, the employees are some down to earth and respectful people. And there's outlets here so you can charge your phone. And it's quiet enough to read about anything. So I recommend you give this place a visit

Always friendly, quick service, and they make the best coffees. My fav., caramel cappuccino and PB Banana Sandwich. Amazing!

Excellent espresso drinks, relaxing place, good food.

Rivertown coffee is like wrapping up in a comfortable blanket on a cold winter night. Relaxing, welcoming, perfect. A lot of talent people put their soul into what they do there and the coffee is awesome.

Great Coffee!!! I own a Coffee Shop & was impressed with their coffee & the employees were very nice as well!!! If I'm ever in town again I will stop by!!!

This place is aesthetically pleasing, with really rich, flavorful coffee and tasty lunches. All of the employees are nice, too.

Great coffee and great service. Be sure to walk around and take a look at the work of local artists on the walls.

This is the kind of coffee house that other coffee houses should aspire to be. Friendly staff that are eager to provide suggestions and recommendations, stellar food that is light yet super filling (I personally recommend the turkey pesto panini), and the kind of atmosphere that resonates with tranquility makes this a superb location for lunch and breakfast. The coffee even takes it a step beyond your commonplace coffee house chain as I actually wanted to have more than one cup after having my first. I wholeheartedly advise stopping by here if you're in the area and need a place with great food and great people involved with making the experience an amazing one.

Best coffee in town, fast friendly service. And, oh the muffins!

This place is awesome. Obviously a local venue. They were playing a cool variety of music. The breakfast samie was excellent. The coffee was delicious.

Great coffee and food. Interior seating is a little cramped, though.

Rivertown is such a fun and hip location. It s a great spot to meet up with friends or even just read a book. Highly recommend! Their food is great!

Without a doubt these guys think outside of the box when it comes to coffee. The coffee is always fantastic and delicious. The food they serve is creatively nutritious and without a doubt a treat for your taste buds. If you have never experienced their breakfast or lunch delights, please take the time to be overwhelmed by creative food full of flavor and extrodinary coffee.

Great coffee, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff. My favorite coffee shop in the Shoals.

Cool coffee shop with quite tasty lunch items. Panini, wraps salad and such. I heard their chicken salad was the best around. Good flavor mixes, average portions. Hit it for lunch!

Love the place...great coffee and very nice people....

At breakfast, grab a bran muffin (chocolate chip on Friday) and a straight up coffee. For sandwiches, tomato and egg is the way to go. For a At lunch, for the best experience, call ahead, let them know you're there, seat yourself, enjoy, and take your plate to the counter when you're done. Every sandwich is good. Ask for the daily specials; there's often an amazing one time only soup or salad. Tacos on Wednesday. At dinner, grab a $1 off beer and a beef or chicken burrito with a side of yummy chips.

My espresso was so good & the staff that I met were really friendly!

Really good coffee and large breakfast sandwiches!! Pictured- poblano pimento cheese, egg bacon, tomato and spinach on sourdough.

Best coffee shop in Florence! I love this place. It's a nice, quiet place to get some work done. I love the breakfast menu.

The coffee is pretty decent and the staff is friendly but the real treat here is in the hipster watching. You'll be hard pressed to find another watering hole in Florence that attracts more.

When I'm in town visiting family this is my go-to coffee stop.

Always love visiting Rivertown Cafe and enjoying the dark roast coffee, great people and fantastic culture of Court Street Florence, Alabama! Always worth a visit!!!

Good coffee and food. I ordered the pimento cheese omelette and my wife had the breakfast wrap.

My favorite coffee shop until they got those uncomfortable chairs.
