Smelly Cat Coffee House & Roastery

Nice quiet place to have coffee with a friend and chat.

Fast service, friendly employees, and the caramel latte was so good! The space is very small but there is outdoor seating which worked out fine. Parking is a bit of a hassle to find be there is a public parking deck a block away.

Their hot coco and vanilla lattes are delicious. They also came out and brought us a puppachino. Really nice staff.

$6.25 for that. This was the most pitiful thing I had ever seen and don’t know how a company could actually serve this. We actually had to make more food after spending $30 on two of these and two coffees. Just ridiculous, do better.

We totally had to visit smelly cat based off local reviews and appreciated the friendly service! Really convenient location in a fun corner of Charlotte. Loved the cool eclectic decor and seating outside for some fresh air! Thankful for some actually really good decaf!

Cute local coffee house in the NoDa area of Charlotte. We only tried coffee but I found out that they do sandwiches and pastries too but a small bar for alcohol beverages too.
The frappe was delicious and served quickly.

This place is BUSY. They certainly shouldn’t have much trouble making money considering the number of people they have in this small establishment. Still plenty of seating considering the outside patio area, but since I sat outside I could easily watch the ongoing traffic throughout the area. I’m not sure how the previous reviews had much time to have a bad interaction with any of the employees because we ordered and moved out of the way before there was much time for interaction. I had a Mocha and my friend had vanilla latte, both tasted good.

Traveling into town for my first time and couldn’t resist this place by name only. 4 minutes from my Airbnb and great staff, atmosphere and neighborhood!! Highly recommended :)

The Smelly Cat Coffee House was highly rated, so my crew and I went out of our way to visit. I ordered an espresso in a ceramic cup and two pour overs to go. After 20 or so minutes and the other folks getting their drink (at various times), I inquired on my drinks. The espresso was sitting in a paper cup waiting to come out with the pour overs that were still not done. When I reminded them that the espresso was supposed be in a ceramic cup, the took the old espresso and dumped it in a ceramic cup. It was cold and no good- a waste of money. The pour overs were just okay. I was super bummed. It did not live up to the hype.

Love the front cafe window seating. Place is cozy inside, but there is also much outside seating. There is cool standing bar to have a quick shot of espresso. Ready made meals and yummy treats. I had a mocha Frappuccino with 2 shots and whip cream. I've never had a drink like this stay frozen for so long. Took me almost an hour finish it and it stayed frozen the whole time! I would definitely return here.
