One of Charlotte’s very best coffee shops & one of my personal all-time-favorites. I have eaten more slices of the incredible vegan zucchini bread than could ever be quantified! Nice atmosphere, incredibly kind staff and owners, and superb oat milk lattes!

Cute coffee shop! Good coffee and really good quiche. Cute stickers and merchandise. A good place to sit and study if you can find a seat!

Ordered a cortado and an Americano…meh, fine, not great. Cortado was too hot, milk was too hot, which burnt the coffee. Place is kind of messy…boxes out on the floor, supplies stored out front. I want to give this place a better review but calling it what it is…average.

This is what a coffee shop should be; comfortable, relaxing, a place you can catch up with friends, work on projects or just read. A great neighborhood landmark lacking in pretention, no corporate coffee chain feeling here.

Went to this location today and the cashier had no personality didn’t greet me. He acted as though I was bothering him. It’s really unfortunate that customer service isn’t a priority anymore. Blame it on COVID like everybody else !!!!! Will not be returning. The chocolate croissant I purchased was just threw in the bag not wrapped or anything.

The coffee is pretty good & the staff is nice. This is my local coffee shop but I won’t be going back, there are too many inconsistencies with the hours. Usually open until 6pm and they will randomly close at 1pm and the only way to know is if you go there and it is posted on the door. The sign says because of staffing issues with I understand, however for me I won’t go back because I’m tired of walking there and it’s closed, just a waste of time.

My favorite coffee spot in Plaza Midwood. Their oat milk hazelnut latte is the best I’ve had in CLT. Super chill vibe in a walkable neighborhood

This was a very inviting atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. The coffee was good. I also had a shortbread cookie which was also very good. I definitely recommend this place.

Always looking for a special coffee experience, this place was not it for me. My daughter just found this place. She had been a couple times with hopes that this may be the spot for us when I visit . I had a cortado and zucchini bread. The food surpasses everything else. Especially the staff. I got excited to see that the owners were mountaineers, (I am a mountaineer mom). Yet when ordering and initiating small chat in regards to such. They all seemed unbothered and could care less. It did take me by surprise that EVERYONE that worked there seemed miserable and unhappy . I even supported a second visit , after a 30 min drive , the coffee was good and the service was consistent with just , we could care less if you come or not. So with that being said, we will just take our average of 75.00 week coffee house spending habit elsewhere. Here is a little note to Central Coffee ..Customers still do come first somewhere. So my daughter and I will continue with our quest as it is obviously not there.

Been here a few times this fall. Nice place to get focused work done for a few hours. Wi-Fi. Lighting is more on the dim side, kinda nice. Chill vibe. Try the quiche, coffee, bagels - it’s all good. Friendly crew. Quick service. Note: Best for solo work or 2 people. As of now only one table for a larger group (4-5).

Horrible service, flimsy cups not worth holding coffee, I do not recommend this place to an avid coffee drinker. My first time here and won't be back!

Always thought it was pretty nice. However, last time there was an eggshell in my sandwich and a hair in my coffee, then to top it off the staff was rude about it.
