Coffee is usually good, but today it was not how it usually taste. I don’t know if the girl missed a step but it was very strong and bitter. I usually ask for regular coffee made with oat milk a ounce of caramel and a ounce of vanilla. I know next time not to have her make it. Customer service is good.

Really enjoyed my experience here. I had a few hours to kill before my flight and a food hall (with a coffee shop) seemed like the best option. Service was attentive (thanks, Kevin!) and there was lots of seating, too.

I was a bit disappointed because the espresso was under extracted and the $12 breakfast sandwich (added avocado and bacon) was the size of a slider.

Ordered an iced latte (espresso and milk) and saw the batista pouring coffee from a pitcher. She explained that they make iced lattes with coldbrew because it's faster and they did a blind taste test and there's no difference. 😑

there is most certainly a difference between the quality and taste and caffine of a drink with 2 oz of espresso vs 2 oz of coldbrew. The entire prep is different. She was very kind and said they could make it with espresso if otherwise requested. Got my espresso it is good. But for an $8 12oz latte, it is an absolute sham to serve these with coldbrew.

Got a latte and the avocado toast - both were DELICIOUS, very comparably priced for the quality/type of fare, and I LOVED the Optimist Hall seating venue/options! Also, the gentleman who took my order might just have been the most positive, pleasant, genuine feeling barista I've ever interacted with :) I visited from out of town, and I'm already looking forward to going back next time I'm in the area!!

I really like this place. Very good coffee. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is bc it's overpriced - but so is every other place in Optimist Hall.

The barista was very disinterested in making my order for some reason. She was washing dishes and did not even properly wash her hands before making me coffee. Ordered a hot chocolate and a cappuccino and guess what, the taste was pretty bad. Won't recommend.

This place is serious about good coffee. If you’re looking for a great cup of coffee Undercurrent has to be one of the top places in Charlotte to get that oh-so-sweet magic in a cup. I’ve been to both locations in Optimist Hall and Plaza Midwood and both experiences were great.

Highly recommended!

First time and they nailed a Latte perfectly... also, they were extremely friendly ... even wearing masks they had joy in their voices and I greatly appreciate that. Thanks for a great hot latte (with almond milk) and your fantastic positive attitude! I’ll be back :)

The staff at Undercurrent is wonderful. Optimist Hall is a good vibe is you want a bustling and fun spot to grab coffee on the weekend. For weekdays, I like the original location in Plaza Midwood. Erica and her team deliver perfection every time.
