    No idea why this place isn't rated higher. We stopped in on a whim on our way home from visiting a friend's farm. I know we didn't look or smell very good but we were treated with kindness and respect. We had low expectations based on the current rating but they blew us away! When I mentioned it was our first time in, the barista was enthusiastic with her suggestions and thoughtful in asking our preferences and allergies first. My latte was DELICIOUS. It's hotter than the devil today so, I got it iced (they have the "good ice" small and crunchy!!!) Decor was cute. We stepped next door to the bakery and my daughter got an ice cream. That lady was super sweet as well! All around great experience. This place isn't "on our way" to anywhere but we will certainly be back. I was so impressed that I felt the need to write a review in hopes of it boosting their ratings so others can enjoy it too!

    Café Lentz is a European style café in downtown Mt. Pleasant, NC serving craft coffee, paninis, smoothies, and pastries, according to their Facebook page. All I know, is little Mt Pleasant has stepped up their game from a snoozy, nearly invisible hamlet to a stop worth making. Apparently, Café Lentz is associated with 73 & Main (across the street), and possibly the bakery next door (but it was closed when we visited). The offerings are typical of most large cities (hand crafted coffees, sandwiches, etc.) which may make some of the locals frustrated that a basic coffee and BEC biscuit is not available (the Hardee's is still up the road). I like that. As of this writing they have been open about six months. I think they still have some wrinkles that need ironing: the counter area is contentious with the sole bathroom, as well as the condiments counter and ordering station, all competing for the same space. Claustrophobic. The coffee was delicious, but I think the "small" size is one click above a communion cup serving--I'll call it petite. Step up to the larger sizes for a better value. My first visit to Mt Pleasant was 25 years ago and it was all one could do to find a pizza shop. Much has changed and is getting better. Some local hangouts remain (e.g. What-A-Burger #13--yeah!), but Café Lentz is a forward move that I say, "give 'em a whirl." Support the nouveau investors willing to spend some cash in their pockets.

    I love the energy in this place. The decorations are amazing. The service is good. it was a little busy when we came in but they did what they needed. we asked for it to go but decided to eat in. the food was pretty good. my sandwich was a little plain but all i got on it was péneme to cheese and bacon

    This place is gorgeous and so comfortable!

    We live out near the Cabarrus Events Arena and there's not a ton of food options around us, especially for breakfast. That's why, I'm excited everytime something else pops up in Mount Pleasant and this spot... well, I'm not sure why I waited so long to go! This morning I stopped in around 8:15am, there were several customers carrying out as I was walking in, but not overly busy (mind you it's a work day). I ordered the Franklin Street breakfast sandwich, a dark chocolate strawberry latte (seasonal) and a blueberry danish. The latte blew my little tastebuds' minds. It tastes just like a dark chocolate covered strawberry. Not too sweet given it's dark chocolate, but soooo delicious and festive in advance of Valentine's Day. Will definitely be back to try their other seasonal flavors! The breakfast sandwich was also so yummy! The biscuit's just the right size, not too large, to balance the egg, bacon and cheddar and oh so savory. Haven't tried the danish yet, but I'm sure it'll be good too and I'm already convinced I'll become a regular! TL;DR: Highly recommend if you're in the area. Try it all and you won't be disappointed!

It wasn't long before my server was over with a bottle of water and a glass full of ice. The reason I came here was because there was a salad listed on the menu that just sounded very refreshing for the hot summer afternoon. I ordered the chop salad with grilled chicken and it was out to me, perfectly plated, in about 5 minutes. The salad was delicious and the chicken was flavorful and hot. The restaurant is small and bright with tons of natural lighting. The bathroom is small, unisex, kind of dark and dim, and a little dingy. My server wasn't the most friendly and she didn't come back to my table after she dropped off the food. I had to go up to the front to ask for a side of dressing. I'd still recommend the restaurant and go back hoping for a different server.

    Was visiting family during Memorial Day weekend, and we met up with a friend in town at this lovely…read moreTurkish Cafe in the university area of Charlotte, NC. Loved the vibe and the decor. It's a very happening spot for young and old, families and friends, people looking to work, and others just there to chill and relax. The line was out the door for the duration of my time there, but do not let that deter you. They have ample space to handle the crowd and it's well staffed with people constantly walking around helping and answering questions. Service is fast and everyone is so nice. They have a variety of seating arrangements which makes it great for large or small groups. This may sound like a lot is going on, and it is...but at the same time it's very relaxing and chill. You place your order at the counter and I'm telling you, they have a great variety to choose from. My party shared some chicken flatbread, a Caprese style appetizer(not its name), and sweet potato cheesecake. Whe all enjoyed some coffee made to order for our liking. We even ordered some pistachio and dubai chocolate desserts to go. Everything was superb! We sat and talked for hours and just soaked in the environment. I had such a great experience and I'm really looking forward to dining here again.

I've been for morning coffee when it's not as busy and late at night weekends during it's busiest times. Finding a parking space is challenging, especially on weekends. But once you step inside Vavela's you forget all about that because the vibe catches you instantly. The music, upbeat yet relaxing, transports you to another place and time. As soon as the doors open it's impressive! Seating is welcoming and abundant, be it at a table, on sofas or a grouping of comfortable chairs. When you walk up to the counter to order they have all of their drinks and deserts chilling and on display. And there are a lot of them! I don't know if they are made from scratch or premade, but I've had about 6 different kinds and each one was better than the next. All delicious! On my last visit we got our coffees, shared chicken flatbread, a tomatoe/cheese appetizer and sweet potato cheesecake and EVERYTHING was delicious!!!! They always have a lot of servers and they bring your order to your table. Because it stays busy I notice they have to constantly be on top of cleaning the tables and floors and often people will grab a seat before the staff has a chance to clean the area. But they overall do a good job staying on top of it. I highly recommend Vavela for a group meeting, or if alone, bring your laptop, your studies and get some work done while grabbing a bite to eat...and a Latte.

One of the employees came out to help with dog treats. My wife and I took the dog to see if he was micro chipped and then took him back to French express, hoping that the owner would come looking for the super sweet dog. Not more than 10 minutes later, the French express employee called to say that the owner and the dog had been united. It's so great that people and businesses will go out of the way to help. A big shout out to the French express employee and the business as a whole. Besides being dog lovers, they have really great coffee and it's a nice environment to sit and talk with friends on the weekend. These folks deserve your business, and you deserve their great coffee!

We didn't go through the drive through but the way they have it laid out is awful. If you go inside park way out so you don't get blocked. Overall, very nice place. Love the fireplace and plenty of seating.

I just wanted something to snack on so despite the large menu, I chose to get a guava and cheese empanada. The flavor was good but it wasn't worth the price tag (almost $5). I tried to order a nitro cold brew but was told they were out, and had been for years.....so I ordered an iced cafe con leche. I had to ask for it 3 times because the cashier didn't seem to know what is was, despite being on the menu hanging above her head. Her co-worker had to show her which button to hit on the POS. I'm sorry to say that this was the worst coffee I've ever had. No flavor at all. It tasted like watered down milk. They should probably fix their menu because calling that a cafe con leche was completely misleading. Overall, a very unpleasant experience.
