The Wandering Cup

The best local coffee shop in the area, by far! The owners are so nice, the employees are helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and coffee in general, the space is unique and inspiring, plus it’s attached to an art studio! Rotating seasonal menus mean you can always try something new, but even if you just like a simple drip coffee they source their beans locally and intentionally so it’s always good. Look out for food truck pop ups and late night events!

Great coffee shop!
Wonderful baristas and great beans with ample places to sit and work or relax and just enjoy. There are tables outside too, so you can bring your dog when the weather is nice!
Free wifi too!

I Absolutely love how friendly and welcoming the staff was. Being our first time here, they answered questions and made suggestions that we tried and found our new favorite coffee shop! Iced coffee’s, Muffins, and everything bagels were all great!

Such an unassuming coffee shop inside these apartment buildings!! I would have never thought to go here but so happy my friend recommended it to me. She said the orange latte was her new favorite.

I personally got the s’mores latte with oat milk. The way they steam oat milk here is masterful. Creamy and light, I’d never know it wasn’t real milk of someone handed it to me.

You can get a cup of coffee, walk your dog around the complex and even get some views of the river! Highly recommend.

Found this little gem of a place thanks to the reviews of others. It is tucked into a first floor retail strip under an apartment complex but inside is like a little vacation and kinda has a mountain vibe. Staff are so nice and the coffee is yummy. I got a non-flavored oat latte cause I like to taste the coffee itself and it did not disappoint. Hubby got a turmeric latte and also liked it. Cute seating. It attaches to a pottery painting spot. We’ll be back!!

Wandering Cup has the most friendly, warm welcoming staff I have ever experienced. Their space is incredible and beautiful.. not to mention their coffee is AMAZING! You will not be disappointed going to this gem spot.

Excellent coffee drinks.
knowledgeable friendly barista.
quality local beans from Knowledge Perk roasters.
It’s great to have a legit coffee shop on this side of Charlotte that uses coffee worth drinking black 👍🏼

They offer oat and other dairy milk alternatives.

Their seasonal espresso drinks are a treat.

They also make non-espresso lattes that are delicious (and organic!).
The Ruby Cocoa is my favorite! Of course I added a double shot to it anyways, and it was a perfect balance of earthy and bitter notes in a hot frothy drink on a cold day. 👌🏽

Their new space is so great! (Same location)
It’s Open and welcoming. Great to chill.
The espresso is Night Swim, and it’s solid, high quality and Wandering Cup represents them well.
They also use Treeline Coffee Roasters from Montana, which may be my new best cup.
It’s at least top 3 out of the 50+ premier roasters I’ve had in the last 4 years from around the world.
I had their Paradise Valley roast as a pour over and it nailed the fruity light finish I love in a good cup.
I will definitely be back and can’t recommend this coffee shop enough.

THE BEST! The crew is always so friendly and patient. Melanie is awesome, and the coffee is excellent! My favorite coffee shop, without question. Thanks for all you guys do!

This place deserves my time to write a review. This is my go to spot from now on. Great coffee, has a great owner with a beautiful heart, great atmosphere, and always a good and personable staff. Only been out of college for 5 years, but I always feel outdated and old when I get around all these college newbies lol. Will be here weekly to clear out their muffins and get away from my pathetic long term care facilities and life in general. Place has become like a sanctuary to me. Glad you guys extended your hours for my remote charting days for work.

The BEST coffee shop in Belmont/Lowell area. So friendly, I love the staff members and how warm everyone is. The drinks are great and I love the new drinks they always come up with. So yummy and creative. It boggles my mind that people would ever give a bad review for waiting when they probably go to start bucks or dunkin and wait 20+ minutes for poop coffee that they paid $10 for. And I know this is so exgateration because I literally have photo proof of waiting in a starbucks drive through for an iced tea. Insane! This place is the best! My boyfriend and I will go out of our way to visit this shop over others in the area. We love it! We never wait that long and we have surely never waited as long as we have for starbucks before!
