The popular & intimate venue did not allow much space for conversation, only found 1 seat by the register. Did not see info about wifi but could have missed it as there were def peeps working on laptops- maybe I had to ask for that like I did the bathroom key. Got a good matcha latte in a lovely 'delivery.' Staff was polite, efficient. Dearth of offerings info - again, customers there are likely regulars-- so baristas didn't offer info I didn't expressly ask for. (I couldn't see what the milk subs were for drinks, or decaf options, etc.) The drink was fine but this is not the venue for me. I commuted to get there, & was annoying finding a spot in the close-quarters lot. Then had to stop busy staff to ask for the bathroom key...esplly awkwd since I had to go more than once. (Driving & caffeinating, you know?!) This place was just not my cuppa. .

Whenever I'm in Charlotte, I love to visit Night Swim Coffee. Honestly, everything I've tried from…read morethere has been a hit. This time I stopped in early, so it was nice and quiet. I got to chat with the baristas, who recommended one of their seasonal drinks. The Blackberry Shortbread Cookie Latte. It was the perfect mix of creamy and sweet, with a distinct "matcha-ey" quality where all the flavors balanced each other out perfectly. I really wish I'd had more time to sit and enjoy it there, the space looked so cozy! You definitely have to give their coffee a try. They have several locations throughout the city, but I highly recommend checking this one out!

I want to start by saying that I typically enjoy drinks from Haraz. I was excited about the new…read morelocation opening and decided to stop by this morning for a Strawberry Cloud Matcha. I had recently tried this drink at another Haraz location and loved it so much that I officially considered myself a matcha drinker. When I received my drink, I noticed it looked much pinker than it had at the other locations I'd visited. I assumed it had just been mixed and that the usual layers of matcha, strawberry, and whipped cloud had blended together, so I didn't think much of it. However, after taking my first sip in the car, it immediately tasted like strawberry milk. Since I was on my way to work, I kept drinking it, expecting the matcha flavor to come through, but it never did. It was disappointing because the drink was nothing like the one I've had several times at other Haraz locations. I hope this location places an emphasis on training and consistency so the drinks meet the same standard as the rest of the Haraz locations. On a positive note, the staff members were kind, welcoming, and greeted me as soon as I walked in.

Qahwah House was such a cool coffee shop! As a history and coffee nerd, I can honestly say that I…read morethink that this was the first time that a coffee shop made me smarter. That's because they had a huge map outlining the historical trade routes that coffee beans were transported on, as well as an homage to some of the patrons of coffee cultivation. They backed up these historical displays with great customer service, a solid cup of coffee, and a truly mesmerizing ambiance. I've been to so many coffee shops in my life, and Qahwah House was the first time, if not ever, then definitely in a long time, that I felt like I experienced something unique. I loved it. Overall, I loved Qahwah House, and I'll assuredly be back as soon as I can. I'd also recommend it to anybody looking for something new to experience!

I also tried the Spanish iced coffee with condensed milk, and I'd come back just for that coffee. It was smooth and felt good quality coffee, absolutely worth ordering. The refresher was good too, though a little on the sweeter side. Gabriel did an excellent job explaining the menu and provided friendly, genuine service. The ambiance is cozy, with nice décor and Yemeni touches around the dining area.

They also have really cool event ideas. I'm yet to join for an adult party. I know they have a Halloween party every year... and that they have drinks at night so it turns into a bar of some sort. Definitely will be checking that out. This is a family owned business so if you like supporting local businesses and coffee and cozy corners you will love it here.

I didn't know what to expect since this hidden gem is located on a church campus but such a great experience. It was a Saturday morning, I was anticipating a super crowded/busy place but the morning ended up being super sleepy. I brought a laptop to work on travel planning as my "craft." Super easy to park, connect to wifi and grab snacks and coffee from the wonderful barista. For a while, it was me, the barista, another gentleman (working solo) and two ladies catching up in one of the many tables to catch up at. When my friends arrived, we were able to push two tables together to have enough chairs and table space since people brought diamond paintings, cross stitch, and coloring workbooks to work on. It was a lovely time. A group of ladies did come in later and started playing mah jong. Toward the end of our meetup, folks were coming in with flowers, dresses, and tuxedos in preparation for a wedding happening later that day. Overall a great place to meetup. There's a nice group/conference room that looks like it could be reserved for larger parties, but most of the tables were for two people... three 4-tops and then a couple of other tables with more lounge chairs (for groups of 4). I have an older laptop so I'm stuck looking for power, there were a couple tables situated close to outlets and then a large wrap around bar in the center that I spied a few outlets but not all the seating had access to power.

There's ample seating, and on the Wednesday late morning that I stopped in, a smattering of folks were quietly working. The pastries are displayed along the counter, and there's also a chalkboard with their empanada offerings. I got a pineapple-stuffed pastry stick, pan de bono (cheese bread), and guava & cheese empanada to go with our iced brown sugar cinnamon latte & iced vanilla latte (both with oat milk). I love the tropical/Colombian touches to the food offerings, and they were all delish! I especially enjoyed the empanada since it was served hot with a flaky crust and perfect amount of filling. Highly recommend coming in if you're in the area and looking for a caffeine + sweet treat boost!

We…read moreordered the following items using the outdoor tablet: sausage and egg breakfast burrito, bacon and egg breakfast burrito, iced ceremonial matcha latte unsweet (with cinnamon topping, toasted coconut syrup, and oat milk), and Vietnamese cold brew (with whole milk). I was pleasantly surprised by the items we ordered! We grabbed our food and drinks from the pick-up window and enjoyed the outdoor seating. Also, the iced matcha latte was the perfect shade of green. We didn't take pictures of the burritos, but they were a little smaller than I expected for the price, which cost between $8.25-$8.45. I can't really speak to the service because we ordered through the tablet and had minimal interactions with the baristas. However, I'm looking forward to coming back here to check out the indoor area, which we didn't really explore this time around. Smelly Cat Coffee is also conveniently located near a light rail station, if you ever decide to check this place out!
