A Vegan Brunch At Gold Sprint Coffee In Huntsville AL

I stopped in at Gold Sprint Coffee to try something new. This coffee house has a mild cycling theme, and it's located just steps from Lowe Mill. I was told they had a few vegan options.

Upon arrival I told them I'd like to try something vegan. I was given several options, and the most interesting coffee option was the El Camino. I chose the Garden Flatbread Sandwich. They hooked me up with the good stuff!

El Camino
This is described as "our take on a Mexican mocha, the El Camino is a double shot of espresso, house-made mocha and house-made habanero syrup, steamed milk and topped with cinnamon". I had mine with oat milk to make it vegan. It was absolutely beautiful and delicious all the way to the end. The habanero syrup gave my tongue a slight tingle. Excellent in every way! I may not ever try the other drinks. This is my drink!

Garden Flatbread Sandwich
This sandwich was not on the menu. I was told about it. It must be a secret sandwich. This seemed to be made with flatbread, hydroponic lettuce, hummus, and tomato. They said it was vegan. It came with a side of grapes. This was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The grapes went very well with the sandwich. Everything was clean and fresh. It was perfect in every way. The serving size was perfect for a brunch.

 

My first visit to Gold Sprint Coffee was great. I really enjoyed everything I ordered. The service was friendly and helpful. The interior was clean and decorated with slightly industrial furniture. Large glass windows provided a good view of the changing neighborhood. The dishes looked like Grandma's good dishes. The atmosphere seemed youthful, professional, casual, and slightly weird.

 

UPDATE: I returned later for another amazing El Camino, this time to-go. Again, the coffee was great. The service on my second visit was not at all friendly. I was barely greeted and was not thanked. I don't remember seeing a single smile. A crowd of bitter-faced posers inside created a pretentious vibe that just wasn't for me. Maybe it's just different on the weekends. I don't know. The perceived value was greatly diminished by my second experience. I do plan to return with the hopes that a more positive and enlightened crowd will be there.
