This was the perfect stop to get a little work done during my layover at the Charlotte airport. I love checking out coffee shops when I travel, so it's always a wonderful surprise to find a local spot inside an airport. The atmosphere was pleasant, with plenty of tables available for me to set up and work comfortably. My caramel latte was delicious -- definitely a highlight! Unfortunately, my experience was dampened by the interaction I had with the person working behind the counter. She just wasn't friendly, which was disappointing given the otherwise great setup. Overall, a nice spot to work and grab a tasty coffee if you're passing through CLT, but I wish the customer service matched the quality of the drink. read more

Had a layover at CLT airport and needed coffee. I had honestly resigned myself to going to Starbucks or something similar because that's all I'm usually able to find. Was super excited to find CommonSpace because a good coffee was what I was really feeling. Located in Concourse D right before the connector to Concourse E. For an airport, I was so impressed. They have a great menu selection, and the coffee was so good. The mocha was rich, and the coffee had great flavor. And even the prices were better than what I would've expected for an airport. Got me my drink pretty fast so I could head over to my gate. They have food if you're looking for a snack or a meal. Sleek design, a bit nicer than what you would expect to see. They even have a little seating area. Highly recommend if you're looking for coffee at the airport. read more

Great customer service - and very tasty coffee. The menu is simple and effective, staff are of good cheer and the space itself is brightly lit and pleasant. This is a coffee shop that is both local and has a mission statement; a great choice among the other options at the airport read more

Solid coffee and fast service. The service was friendly. Exactly what you need before your flight. Sandwiches (paninis and croissants) $10.99 and coffee drinks $4.50. read more

Great service, and very good coffee! I was so pleased with the vanilla oat milk latte that the gentleman behind the counter made for me. He knew exactly what I wanted. It's funny because all I asked was, "Do you have any specialty coffee drinks?" It's just that the coffee menu seemed very basic. He knew where I was going with that. Then he proceeded to make my latte after asking if I like vanilla. I trusted him completely. I didn't even mention that I like oat milk. It was so intuitive. The latte was perfect! They serve Counter Culture which is a local Durham coffee roaster. I can totally see why there is a long line during the early morning hours. I missed getting that good cup of coffee the first time I passed through the airport on my way to Montgomery. I didn't make that mistake on the way back to Tampa. What is so cool about this place is the sitting and working area. It's so comfortable and hip, with cool music. It's a coffee shop during the day, and a bar at night that serves cocktails. It's a great stop in between flights. read more

Got food poisoning from a breakfast sandwich the morning of Tuesday 1/7. Edit 1/9: still unable to keep food in. Definitely food positing. Food came out hot so it was definitely not stored at at proper temperatures read more

-Iced latte brewed directly into plastic cup -Server about as friendly as a collections agent -Music made me think I needed to have a bunch of dollar bills to sit down Gave this place my business because I hoped to do something other than Starbucks and regretted that decision. read more

Worst most expensive margaritas ever. Positive the server used Rum instead of the listed Don Pablo Tequila - Sprite??? - and a terribly sweet fruit syrup concoction. FOR $50. Never go there again. read more

CommonSpace - Grossest Mango Margarita I've ever had. Who puts Rum & Sprite in a Margarita & charges $25 for it??? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Terrible service. Rude and uncaring. Food was extremely greasy. Only redeeming thing was the coffee. The tables were dirty too.

The CommonSpace is conveniently located in a corner spot before E gates and on the way to the D gates. This location used to be a very busy Starbucks but it looks like they've recently changed it to an eatery/bar called the CommonSpace. I stopped here on a Saturday morning in hopes to get a quick bite to eat before my flight out of the D gates. The egg white, mushroom, swiss on a croissant was very appealing to me but unfortunately they didn't have it in stock. I instead chose to go with a cranberry muffin which wasn't great. They did warm it which was nice but in doing so it kind of had an oven taste to it. Hard to describe specifically but it took the flavoring of whatever was cooked in the oven prior. There menu was nice. Breakfast, lunch sandwiches, coffee, cocktails, beer and wine. I didn't try any of the drinks. I'm a tea drinker but didn't see any options for tea (also didn't ask). I'd be interested in coming back and trying their breakfast sandwiches in the future. read more

Great coffee, overpriced food, good vibes. Honestly, some of the best roast I've had as far as coffee goes, really nutty somewhat chocolaty notes. I got a vanilla latte half sweet. The chicken blt was disappointing for $14. Premade and heated up in an ovan, so the lettuce is steamed and the tomato's are more of a marinara sauce. Servers were nice and friendly and the chairs are super comfy :) I had a 3 hour layover so it was a nice spot to waste some time. They've got good bops from all genres playing and the people watching is superb. read more

Nice concept, and big plus for using Counter Culture Coffee beans, but what kind of coffee shop doesn't have whole milk? You can't make a proper third-wave espresso milk drink with only 2% milk. read more

The posted menu prices do not match what you are charged. When I asked the service about why I was overcharged, she told me that the price on the register is correct, not the price listed on the menu; the manager refuses to change it even after they've told him/her to do so numerous times. This is an illegal practice in NC and I recommend this place gets its practices in order before overcharging more customers. read more

CLT airport lit this place up for vegan options, so I stopped in after arriving at a D gate. Latte with oat milk, fine, I always love having Counter Culture coffee when I'm in NC. Saw on the menu there is an English muffin with JUST egg, red pepper pesto, and provolone cheese. For sure the cheese is vegan right? On a JUST egg sandwich? So I asked the server at the register, so you know if that's vegan cheese? "no I don't, they come pre-made". Oh great! Do you have a label I can look at, I need to know if that's real cheese or vegan cheese. "no, they just come in a package and we warm them up". OK, I decide to order anyway and peel the cheese off if necessary. Sit down to find the nutritional information and there is no website, no nutritional information, seems to be no record of this restaurant at all other than on the Charlotte Airport website. I can't emphasize how dumb this is and also how dumb it is to have a sandwich with JUST egg and potentially non vegan cheese. So bottom line - the coffee was great and ready quickly, the sandwich was fine but the English muffin was chewy after sitting for about 2 minutes while I was searching for nutritional information and I had to gnaw it off like a dog chewing at an old shoe. Lesson reinforced - when airports say they have vegan options, they mean the Naked smoothies available in a bottle in front of the register. Lame. It's not that hard to cater to people with food allergies! Do better! And educate your employees on the food. read more

Grabbed a cappuccino here while waiting for my flight. Cute little airport coffee shop and for as busy as the airport was it was pretty empty. The cappuccino was excellent but the service could have been better stocking the manager working the register was exceptional unpleasant. Will I stop there again when flying through Charlotte? Possibly if I'm in that terminal but only because the cappuccino was that good not because of the service. read more

The perfect stop at Charlotte airport! Excellent coffee drinks, paninis/wraps/croissants. Even Expresso Martinis with craft cocktails & draft beer. Super friendly people make your request to order. Grab a small table or sit at long high tables to use your laptop & watch the airport activity. read more

I discovered this coffee shop on the way from one terminal to another in Charlotte airport. It was about 8a but this shop was such an inviting space with fun music playing somewhat loud (just perfect though if you're in the mood!) and people ordering and drinking coffee. Mine was really good with oat milk as they serve local Culture Coffee. I felt the need to sit down and work from the space since it was so lively! Ended up working there at a small table (free airport wifi) for about an hour and I'm so glad I did. Service was quick and friendly, Apple Pay available and the coffee came out quick. They have food also so I'll be stopping by again during my next airport visit. It's near the mall section of the airport. read more

How on earth did this replace a Starbucks is beyond me. They must be related to some corrupt politician. The coffee is awful! No flavor no sweetener. Also way overpriced. I give them 3-6 months and they'll go out of business. read more

Coffee is better and cheaper than Starbucks, but the best part is the playlist! I've only ever had the coffee so I can't speak to the food. They also have espresso martinis on tap! As a frequent flyer this is my go to spot for a layover! The staff is very friendly and they have plenty of outlets and working space. read more

Service was good. Coffee was very hot. But not good. We just did Americano, so maybe other coffees better.

First impressions not fabulou... burnt $6 coffee. Makes it difficult to recommend a visit when traveling through or departing via CLT.

I enjoyed the buffalo chicken wrap. The wrap was crispy and the chicken was flavorful. They have a bar, assorted juices, sodas and water. You can even order one of many specialty coffee drinks. read more

The vibes are immaculate. Good coffee. Great staff. Great music. Definitely stop by if you have time in between flights!

Decent, very hot! Coffee. Good service- quick ( on a Friday afternoon) and laid back feel in a very busy airport.

Amazing vibe! Older male employee at the register was incredible. Super personable and had a great conversation about coffee, you could tell he was passionate and proud of where he works! Unsure if his name, but hoping to see him on my return home. Recommending to all of my friends to go there instead of chain coffee spots while flying. read more

arguably the best latte i've ever had. aside from being delicious, it was priced pretty evenly to lattes and coffees you would get from a local coffee shop in town. the ambiance is super cute and has a few great working areas to sit and sip. will definitely visit again if im at clt! read more

Coffee was great and delicious vegan breakfast sandwich. One of the better options for grab and go food at CLT.

We got stuck at CLT due to a canceled flight, and had such a good experience in CommonSpace. The bartender made great drinks, and all the staff provided exceptional service. read more
