Best coffee in Charlotte area. The variety of wine bottles is amazing, so many decent options.

Other than being told that I will be charged for water in a to-go cup despite being a paid customer, this is a cool spot to get some work done. Seating is comfortable with power outlets widely available! The drinks are good and they have a decent wine selection.

Amazing atmosphere, clean and nice bathrooms, great public wifi. Love their caffeinated and wine/beer menus alike. I always go by for their sour fridge area to try new local brews. I like how there is 4 areas for seating/working. Near the back entrance, bar seating with TVs, near the front entrance, and outside on the patio. Lastly it's great location for anyone coming off the Greenway / parkway just south

Decent coffee, and great staff. Its open late so that's the main reason I go here. The only issues are every Friday night they have bands come it, which are extremely loud and sometimes not very good. Its hard to use this coffee shop like a coffee shop when you cant talk to the person next to you or study. Additionally, they have a big garage door in the front, which they keep open way too much, when its very hot and very cold. The owners don't give the workers the authority to close it, even when the weather is terrible.

Reply: Thank you for your reply... wasn't looking for PR response though... Just letting the general public know what the shop is like. The back area consists of a couch and 3 chairs, when there's a band or the doors are open, those get filled VERY quickly. I've asked about the windows, and been told that the owner watches the employees over the video camera's, and makes them keep the doors open even when they and/or customers want them closed.

I want to like this place but I’ve had hilariously bad service all three times I’ve gone here. I asked if the savory croissant had any meat in it and was told “there’s no way for them to know because they didn’t make it in the house”. Friend asked for her scone while we waited for our coffee “it’s just really busy we will give it to you with the coffee.” It was not really busy and there were 3 people working behind the counter. Every interaction that I’ve had with people that work here they’ve been strangely rude.

Great coffee. Awesome vibe. Should definetly checking out if you are in the area. Try the black walnut latte. Grab a few craft beers while your at it!! Owner was super cool too. Sat and chatted for a while.

The atmosphere was awesome! The coffee a little burned, and the cinnamon roll delicious!

Currently enjoying a (Local) Honey Turmeric Latte with Macadamia Nut milk. DELICIOUS! Love this place. I just wish there was more seating!

Luuuuuurve it. This place is amazing and wonderful and we have the best time. Such a good vibe and lovely people.

I really want to love this place. The environment is great, the coffee is great.

I order through the app almost every weekend, but literally every weekend it takes over an hour to get the coffee and it’s cold or warm. The last two weekends this has happened where my coffees have just been behind the counter when my name wasn’t called or anything. After an hour I’d get them. I hope we can be friends

Again love the place and the coffee when it’s hot, but for some reason I can’t get it to work right.
