The Wandering Cup

We found out about this little coffee shop from our favorite baker: Honeybear Bake Shop.

They sell cookies from Honeybear and Moonbox Bakery. These are both places I love. Our most recent trip was because Honeybear was doing a pop-up.

In addition to our cookies, we decided to get a drink. I wanted to try a golden chai since I've never had one, but then I saw the seasonal drinks. I had to try the Tinsel Tea.

They steep the tea in apple cider instead of water (and then add things like cranberry I think). All tea should be made like this. It was delicious!

We'll be back for a golden chai at some point. Check them out if you're in the area!

Great coffee shop inside the South Fork Village apartment complex. The new location is larger and has more seating. Coffee is always great and the baristas are always friendly.

Really loved the coffee and the quiet neighborhood vibe. I sat for the better part of 3 hours doing work at their table and enjoyed the perfect combo of silence and the coming and going of customers. The attached paint studio was closed so I am not sure how loud it might be om another day. Was very happy with the internet speed but noticed my cell service wasnt very good inside the shop.

I love the Wandering Cup. They’re always doing special things with their coffee, like their recent Harry Potter theme. I love the service and the gourmet quality in each cup. As it happens, the area outside is walkable, so you really can wander after grabbing a cup of coffee to go. This is one of my favorite spots in Belmont.

All about this coffee shop! Only reason for 3 instead of 5 because of the insane wait this morning. Wanted to get out and support small business Sat but the staff wasn’t on it this morning. Spent a lot of time talking with friends instead of making our drinks in a timely manner. Currently waiting 20 min and still no coffee.

They make one of the best iced caramel lattes I’ve ever had and always have new seasonal drinks to try!

In a residential area driving through town, I stopped in for a cortado. Perfection. Flavor, milk, excellent friendly and knowledgeable service. This place suits my picky needs. For comparison, I like a deep espresso flavor not brewed at a super high temperature.

Barista gave the customer before me full attention before turning to me and gave me the exact same attention. I was in and out quickly and back on my morning commute.

The coffee is excellent! The Owner is super nice and extremely accommodating. I never felt pressured to leave as I was enjoying my coffee and working on work related items on my laptop. Great conversations with other customers and the Owner. Highly recommend. Make the drive and stop in! You will not be disappointed.

Needed some caffeine on our way from Charlotte to Asheville and this happened to be one of the places that was suggested. And thank gosh it was! Super friendly service, she actually told us about how she makes her special drinks and gave us recs in Asheville. The peanut butter cold brew and traditional latte was so so good. 10/10!

We tried this place out to support a local business as our usual coffee shop was closed after Christmas and we had heard lots of great things.
It's ok. My husband said his coffee (brewed) was ok, only slightly better than most hotels and it wasn't that hot...ouch. I had a golden chai, it was nice - but again, it wasn't overly hot, so after it cooled off I didn't drink it.
I did like the pastry selection that they had, we didn't purchase anything but they looked great with lots of vegan and gluten free options.
There isn't a lot of seating options inside, we were able to find a spot but this seems odd for a coffee shop. I always like to drink my coffee and take in the atmosphere, but that's just me. Maybe they are more of the grab and go model?!
I will probably give it a second try in the future, it wasn't a bad experience, I just wasn't blown away.
