Plus, it’ll be kid- and dog-friendly, with a beautiful patio and backyard.

3. City Bowls

Smoothie bowl lovers (like me), get excited. City Bowls, founded in Birmingham, is expanding again—and this time to Huntsville. We can’t wait to explore their menu of acai, pitaya and green bowls—and make our own creations with the build-your-own-bowl option (I’ll be getting all the toppings).

Location: Hays Farm, behind Tom Brown’s
Opening Date: This year, exact date TBA

4. Loco Taco

Also coming to Hays Farm is a new taco spot. The owners of Rock n’ Roll Sushi are bringing this concept—fun, fast-casual Mexican fare—to life. Loco Taco will share a new building with City Bowls, as well as a new Starbucks.
