In warm weather, grab a spot at one of the outdoor tables, and in winter, find a spot on the covered patio or a cozy nook inside. Brakeman's also serves muffins, pastries and iced drinks, and the service is friendly and efficient. But be warned -- this popular spot gets extremely busy, especially on Saturday mornings. So come early, claim your spot and discover one of the best spots in town for a hot cup of coffee!

They offer a variety of coffee and tea options and color code the flavor intensity. I chose the honey matcha oat milk latte with lavender. It didn't taste like lavender but the latte itself was good.

I don't live in the area, but I would stop in again for tea if visiting.

I ordered their specialty pumpkin coffee and the main reason I was disappointed is that it tasted nothing like pumpkin. I don't know if they forgot the pumps but there was no pumpkin flavor at all.

Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products. Come support this amazing local spot and enjoy their unique, thoughtful offerings!

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 don't even drink the whole pot because that's just too much caffeine for me lol. I also really loved the savory pastries they have, very complimentary to their coffee. The service is very kind and they give you a buzzer to easily come pick up your order when it's ready. The ambiance was great the last time I went in. They had wifi available if I needed it, but it wasn't overpacked so I could work a bit when I first came in and then was able to still hear my friend when she came over. It has nicely spaced tables so you aren't as boxed in as you are in some of the other coffee places in this area. Overall, my favorite place to grab a Turkish coffee in Charlotte. Yummy coffee, nicely spaced tables, free wifi, good service, and not overly packed. My go-to coffee spot in Plaza Midwood!

My husband tried a cinnamon roll and he enjoyed that it wasn't too sweet. Overall, a nice spot to try out.

It definitely felt like a spot with a lot of regulars, which is always nice to see, and the overall vibe was very family-oriented and welcoming. One person handled both my order and preparation, and he was kind and friendly, especially once I started the conversation. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and loved that I could choose the bread. I went with the croissant, and it was a great choice. The sandwich was toasted, really good and filling. For my drink, I had the Cinnamon Toast latte/Americano Macchiato with oat milk, and it was delicious. Flavorful without being overly sweet and very well balanced. A couple small things worth noting: when I tried to use the restroom, both were locked, which was a little inconvenient. Also, the napkins available were the small coffee-style ones, and I definitely needed a few more for the sandwich. Overall, this was a solid stop with good food, a comforting atmosphere, and friendly service. If I'm in the area again, I'd come back to try more items on the menu.

Very nice ambiance with comfy chairs and a faux leather couch. They even have some board games adults can pull off the shelf and play while having their morning brew. Kid-friendly for the right age. We had a couple cups of regular coffee (nothing fancy, but 4 star stuff), a scone (nice 3 star scone when not heated up; our first was a sodden mess after heating), and a croissant sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese (4 star tasting sandwich that also might have been a smidge better on firmer bread ... the microwave just melts the whole thing together). We also got three 3-star muffins to go ... and they were excellent even the next day. All in all, this was a 4 star stop for us in the morning. While a single server handled the whole room, she was up to the task. We'll return.

We walked in and no employees to be found. We waited awkwardly for almost 10 minutes while the line built behind us and then watched people give up and leave! Finally someone came out of the back room and seemed to have zero concern. We places our order and the painfully waited for her to make a cappuccino and a latte. I even visited the bathroom and came back out before she was done! How they are making food on top of coffees when the service is that slow is BEYOND ME. The overall area inside was simple and pretty but on the verge of sterile. And then to leave with a very mid tasting latte that had no flavor was the last straw. So many more places around to spend my money at and with better coffee and service.

A perfect cozy spot to enjoy a drink, do some work, meet a friend etc. I ordered a matcha with toffee and it was phenomenal. My husband got a cold brew- they put coffee ice cubes in which is a nice touch and when I asked for cream and sugar they measured the sugar and added hot water to make a simple syrup so it wouldn't be a gritty mess in the cup. What a wonderful added touch! They have over a dozen different flavor syrups, use organic matcha, have Vietnamese or Turkish coffee and even cafe con leche. The baked good in the case also looked phenomenal. Also two large drinks were $10.47 and the cups were as big as a Starbucks venti (which are now like $7 a piece) Thanks for a great experience bill and bobs!!
