The atmosphere was nice, it has the "work on your laptop or catch up with friends" cafe vibe. Somewhere you can hang for several hours and sip and coffee as you work/talk. I don't think I was the target demographic for this cafe sadly. I ordered a BE&C on a bagel. I originally had planned to go to a more "bagel-focused" shop, but they were closed. That's where I feel I was not the target demographic; I was looking to just order a bagel on my morning commute. I should have noticed the atmosphere/vibe of the cafe and realized that this was not going to be fast. It ended up taking over 30 minutes from the time I paid to the time I got my food (genuinely, I looked at the time my credit card was swiped and compared it to the time it was when I got my food). Now, I will say, if I had ordered coffee and brought a book, the wait probably wouldn't have been too much of a bother. The staff was really friendly, and the bathrooms were also very clean! The bagel was not my favorite bagel, but it was on par for a non-bagel-focused coffee shop. It wasn't bad by any means, but I would not order it if you were wanting "real" bagel. Edit: owner made a good point regarding the wait and was correct that I did not notice the disclaimer regarding the wait! I updated the rating to reflect my newer perspective.

I have also tasted their iced white mocha latte and it was very sweet for a "regular"sweetened drink. Any time you place an order, you can customize your beverage sweetness. Their service is a little slow when they're busy but that's ok- it's worth the wait lol. There's tables to sit at while you wait.

The vibe here is fantastic, it feels very elegant and there is lots of seating. Free parking out front as well. An amazing coffee shop and a real gem here in uptown, Charlotte!

Matcha latte and Cronut…read more Coco and the Director is my go-to coffee stop in Uptown--especially when I'm craving a cronut. The cronuts are the real star here. They sell out quickly, so the move is to get there early and grab one while it's still warm. Trust me, if you're going to get one, get two. The café sits inside the lobby level of the Charlotte Marriott City Center, which makes it easy to access if you're already walking around Uptown. If you're doing a quick drive-by, just be friendly with the valet--tip them and pop inside to grab your coffee and pastry. They offer a full coffee program with plenty of alternative milk options (oat milk is my current go-to). I also appreciate the little details like turbinado sugar, bamboo stir sticks, and recyclable cups, which give the place a sustainable touch. The space itself is really stylish and comfortable. There's even a small amphitheater-style seating area, making it a cool spot to hang out, meet friends, or get some work done for a while. Insider tip: Go early for the cronuts--they disappear fast. Overall, it's a fun Uptown café with great coffee, a beautiful space to work or relax, and one of the best cronut stops in the area.

The baristas were very friendly and patient and the service was fast. We sat in a little living room at first, them moved to a table, and finally took advantage of the stair seats. The coffee was pretty good, nothing extraordinary, but it did the job. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and delicious. We never made it back, but I'm glad I got to pop in for a bit. Not even one coffee pic?!??

The coffee is fantastic, the area around the shop is nice to walk around a bit and the food is FANTASTIC. The avacado toast is one of my favorites in the states. If there was anything negative to say it would simply be that it can be a bit crowded and it can be tough to find a place for a group to sit inside. Other than that it's a 10 out of 10 for me.

There is plenty of room to work and move around and just outside the coffee shop on the second floor, there is an open "common area" with even more space with chairs and couches.

Since this is part of a recently renovated historic building with 14 varied retail spaces, you should definitely check this place out.

The location is on the lower floor of an office building. It has an adorable retro/vintage 70s Flower Child vibe. The ambiance was relaxing and inviting. Now on to the matters of caffeine. The espresso was perfect. Something we had not had since our arrival. Cortado was great, drip coffee was great, and their latte.... Let me tell you about their latte. I had a carrot cake with cream cheese cold foam. I asked for half the syrup. It was delicious, perfection, amazing. One day I had it hot, the next I had it iced, both were incredible. If I were guaranteed not to go into a sugar spiral, I would drink the cold foam straight. Now I'm preparing to go back tomorrow. Update: We came back two more times before we left NC. No regrets! We finally found an amazing coffee shop and that was important. Also, they make a fantastic Cloud Matcha AND they often watermelon seed milk aka MILKish. This is a game changer. The milk was tasty, with the tiniest but of sweetness, but no sugar or carbs. I don't know how they did it, but I'm here for it and on a mission to find MILKish here!

It's easy to park (they even validate your parking for 90 mins or so!), they have seasonal drinks that are actually good and the food is great for a coffee shop! I got the That's Amore and avocado toast this visit. The last time I got the breakfast sandwich! The avocado toast is topped with olive oil, which makes it so delicious! It's beautifully decorated, the seating is comfortable and the staff is very helpful especially when it comes to recommendations! If you can't find seating there is more seating toward the bathrooms and it's nice because they are booths! It's my understanding they make some of their syrups which I love because you know they are fresh, and to me that means they take pride in the quality of their drinks. It's worth a stop if you are in the area!
