Defined Coffee

I cannot rave about Defined Coffee enough!! I've been here many times since first discovering the coffee shop online in October. I've brought all of my friends there to do homework and have club meetings. The atmosphere is so bright and welcoming - and so is the staff! Oh yeah - the coffee... I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I've fallen in love with the Mountaineer. Sitting there one day, I met one of the owners and one of the vendors. This place truly gives me an escape away from UNC Charlotte's campus and makes me feel more involved in the community!

Drive around to the back of the church if miss first turn off getting here. Ginger beard latte with oat milk 😋 was soooo good. Friendly and very helpful staff, clean, good vibes. Will definitely be back.

They truly have the best coffee, most awesome baristas. And while inside a church, there is plenty of room to sit and chill. But one day I took a deep dive into the religion they preach and learned that they are not accepting to lgbtq. They’ll hate the sin but love the sinner deal, tolerate, but don’t see as equal. Took the shine off of hanging out there.

Been coming here every weekend and some weekdays for a few months now.
So a fair amount of times to know this place is 5 star quality! The main thing is the consistent coffee - I get a late and it is good everytime! Staff are always welcoming and chatty. A lovely atmosphere all around.

Great shop in a lovely atmosphere. Great place to get work done or meet with a friend. The baristas are very good at what they do and even gave us a history lesson on the Americana, which was delicious!

Favorite coffee shop in NC. They have the best beans from multiple roasters and they have started roasting amazing beans of their own. I am from out of town and I look forward to coming to NC simply to come back to defined. The owner is always hanging around and he and the staff are incredibly friendly that always provide great conversation and are eager to share their knowledge of the coffee and process!

Don’t be confused by the lovely church. It is a coffee shop too! Delicious latte 😀

I want to like this place because it’s so close and convenient but the atmosphere is clicky and the hours are not conducive for spending a day working in a coffee shop. Not to mention $6 for a 12 oz latte.

This is a nice place within Lake Forest Church (in case you have any trouble finding it). They have some of my favorite coffee in the Charlotte area. There's plenty of space inside which is nice during these COVID times. But they also have a good amount of seating outside to just sit and relax.

Defined coffee is amazing. Located in Lake Forest Church, this shop emulates love and kindness. The staff is wonderful. They put so much intentionality into their work. Defined also sells HEX coffee, a Charlotte favorite. This shop is a great place to come, have a great cup of coffee and then stay a while for Amazing conversations.
