  This place had a really cool vibe and the food smelled great (though I didn't order any). We were there over what would have been considered the college's Christmas break, but the place was still packed with people. In various Alabama towns, it's hard for me to actually find decent coffee - so it's nice to see a good, independently owned shop in Florence. The decor is eclectic. The staff are friendly.
  
  But there is one "complaint" that prohibits me from adding an extra star to "love it." I bought a pour-over coffee (also, very difficult to find in/around Alabama). The "barista" ground the coffee, put it in a nice pour-over setup, and then just started dumping water on it. There really wasn't any time or appropriate water to allow the coffee to bloom before finishing the pour-process. I kind of cringed when I saw it, especially because the pour-over costs a little more than the regular brew. But honestly, if I would have known that he was going to pour this way, I would have gone with the regular brew. My pour-over was OK, but I wouldn't say that it was great.
  
  Other than that, I'd definitely come back again - it's not a deal breaker, just a bit of constructive criticism.

  I love River town. Everything they serve is awesome and different from anywhere else in town. Nice selection of beers and coffee for everyone!

  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!
