Nothing is better than the aromatic smell of rich coffee beans and freshly brewed coffee to give you that feel good feeling! And that is exactly how you feel when you step into La Reunion a Coffee Cafe located in Historic Helena. That nostalgic feeling is abundant as you soak in the high ceilings with exposed rafters, exposed brick, wood plank floors and the eclectic furniture groupings perfectly arranged to accommodate small or large groups to enjoy conversation and hot coffee.
Coffee lovers will drool over the many different Signature Hot Lattes that include Java Slinger, Raspberry Mocha, Heart Murmur and Nuttin' Honey to name just a few. The coffee drinks are served up hot or cold and these friendly owners, Del and Robin Howell are happy to help you decide if you prefer a Latte or Cappuccino or maybe even a freshly brewed cup of hot tea from their gourmet selection of loose teas.
On hot days you may want to try a Frozen Frappes from a long list of fun choices like Jumpy Monkey Mocha, Frozen Dirt Worms or for the less daring Chocolate Malt! There is also a nice array of flavored syrups that can be added to any drink to concoct the drink of your choice. Or you may even try one of the REAL Fruit Smoothies!
Hungry? Not to worry! Robin has put the gourmet touch on a wonderful assortment of Breakfast breads, muffins, bagels and croissants. Or the healthy dieters can feast on organic granola, yogurt and fresh fruit.
The Lunch Menu is Superb! A great selection of deli style sandwiches served up on white, whole grain, croissant or foccacia breads with Miss Vickie's chips and crisp dill spears. You MUST try the unique Asian Chicken Salad! Or you may opt for one of the many different crisp lettuce salads topped off with delicious dressings.
So whether you are out and about and just want to grab a nice healthy lunch or have the urge to satisfy your coffee cravings......La Reunion is the place to go! Come alone or bring a friend or two. Groups large or small can also be accommodated. Come for pleasure or carve out a spot to do business. Oh did I mention the WiFi? That's right bring your laptop and surf the Internet while you sip on a nice hot cup of java! There is even a small gift and card shop where you can browse and pick up a last minute gift idea or two!
And be sure to plan a nice relaxing evening on Friday or Saturday to just sit and talk and listen to some live music!
PLANNING A WEDDING? La Reunion has Bridal Catering Packages offered to Brides planning their wedding at Old Town Helena's Wedding Chapel right next door. Ask for a brochure of the Package Options.
And if you are interested you may rent the coffee shop out as a venue for your next function!
THE STORY OF LA REUNION
La Reunion is named after an island in the Indian Ocean. History says that 100's of years ago, 100 coffee trees were transported from Africa to the island. Only 2 trees survived the journey. The government of La Reunion, then called the Isle of Bourbon, made every inhabitant plant coffee trees which initiated the export of coffee to Europe. From those two initial surviving trees, the islanders started a species known as Bourbon Arabica, which is still grown around the world. Reunion Island no longer grows coffee, but instead is a surfers paradise.
So I guess you can tell that I am a coffee lover and I do have to admit that I am crazy about Robin and Del, so don't just take my word for it, stop by and give it a try yourself. You will be glad you did!
Give me a call I will meet you there and we can chat over a nice hot cup of coffee!

Money Magazine has ranked the Top 100 Best Places to Live in 2009 and
Shelby County Alabama has 3 Cities in the Rankings!
And this is what they had to say!
ALABASTER RANKED #85
This young town is one of Alabama's fastest growing; new construction continues, and home prices haven't declined much.
Although there aren't many employers in Alabaster -- the biggest is Shelby Baptist Medical Center -- unemployment rates hover near pre-recession levels. Most residents commute to Birmingham, 25 miles away.
CLICK HERE to learn more about the City of Alabaster
CALERA RANKED #83
Although it's only 20 miles from Birmingham, Calera offers plenty of country scenery nestled between the hills of central Alabama. Typical outdoors activities like hunting and fishing are popular. The town is fiercely loyal to its local stores; Billie's Toyota dealership, for example, has been around for generations and continues to thrive from support of loyal residents
CLICK HERE to learn more about the City of Calera
HELENA RANKED #90
Helena combines small-town charm with natural beauty. While Old Town Helena was built around railroads in the late 19th century, the downtown still brings the community together. Performances are hosted in an outdoor amphitheater and local food vendors collect in town for Helena Market Days.
Step outside the downtown and you'll find the Buck creek running through the town, yielding to a flowing waterfall. If you enjoy a waterfront view, the town offers homes along the bank of the creek. However, more affordable housing is available, ranking Helena at the top of this category.

Debbie - we just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your help in finding our current home. We love it here! As you know, this is our fourth property that you have assisted in purchasing. As always, all aspects of the purchase went smoothly and timely. Thanks again for everything!
Mark and Amee Maddox
Debbie Hutchins is a true miracle worker. I met Debbie through a friend and found out she was a Real estate agent. We had just built a spec house. Unfortunately we could not sell it, so we moved in and continued to try. It still would not sell so we thought we would give Debbie a chance. She not only had one contract but a back up contract and someone else who wanted it. Debbie advised them if something happened she would get back to them. This house was located on the Ledges at Meadowbrook. Next house was in Grey Stone. Again Debbie listed our house and it sold. So we moved to a spec house we built at Lay Lake and guess what Debbie again sold our house. Not only has Debbie sold our houses fast, she cared enough to tactfully let us know what changes should be made in order for it to sell faster. I must add unless you are serious about selling your house and have somewhere to move fast you might consider using someone else. I am a testament that time and time again Debbie Hutchins is the Very Best!!
Lenda Farmer
“Debbie Hutchins is the first person I call for all of my real estate needs! I have called upon her to list homes I have built and my personal residences as well. She has also assisted me in the purchase of investment properties. The knowledge and advice she has shared with me have always pointed me in the right direction and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing real estate assistance!”
Lori Sullivan
"Debbie has help me over the years with my professional career as a Construction loan officer with her understanding and knowledge of the residential housing market and has helped my family buy and sell our personal homes."
Dan MacArthur
"Whether you are buying or selling a home, Debbie can help to make the experience stress free and at ease with the best guidance. As her daughter, I am not being biased to say she is very professional and attentive to detail. She recently helped me purchase my first home and made the process a breeze for me! You can rely on her to handle all the details and get the best deal for you! Trustworthy and caring, I recommend her to help with these very important decisions in your life!"
