The Huntsville and Madison County business community continues to grow, and recent announcements of new business openings are indicators of that growth.

This past week we welcomed three new businesses to the Huntsville area, while unfortunately seeing two businesses close. Here’s more:

1. The Bakingtist (reopening)

The Bakingtist hosted a grand reopening to officially launch their new menu on Friday, August 11. The bakery is on a mission to share the science behind baking and recently added brand new sandwiches to its line up of breads and pastries.

The Bakingtist, which opened last December, has added a variety of new sandwiches (named after scientists!) and drinks to its menu of artisan breads, pastries and other made-from-scratch baked goods.

Closings: Offbeat Coffee Studio, Rocket Rooster’s Coffee N’ Go

Two local coffee spots closed this past week, with Offbeat Coffee Studio closing both of its Huntsville locations, and Rocket Rooster’s Coffee N’ Go closing in Madison.

Over its five years in business, Offbeat Coffee Studio crafted some of the most creative coffees Huntsville’s ever gotten to experience. From their beautiful Galaxy Latte to recent creations like the Charred Grapefruit Espresso Soda, their ever-changing menu kept us coming back for more.

Rocket Rooster’s was the drive-thru location for Rooster’s Crow Coffee Roastery in Huntsville, which will keep their original coffee shop open on Whitesburg Drive.
