First time! Absolutely loved my coffee! It was a unique combination of flavors. The lemon poppyseed muffin was delicious! Staff was very friendly! read more

Southern coffee at its finest- with beans from Burundi, and specialty lattes sure to satisfy your pallet. For a place this large, the noise level is moderate and the atmosphere is charming and fresh. Definitely recommend stopping in here before you grab your antiques next door. read more

Ordered two lattes and they were both phenomenal. They roast on site, so it is cool to watch them work while you are drinking your coffee.

This cafe is inside a lovely cozy and homey church. There's a fireplace, comfortable armchairs, and even a small nook for little kids to play while their parents sip on some good coffee. Their coffee was really good. I love how they had a 20 ounce size iced latte, and you know I went for it!! Even as the iced melted, the quality of the coffee stayed intact. The pastries looked really really stinkin good. Unfortunately I was too full from lunch to grab one, but next time I'm in town you bet I'm getting one! The cashier was also really sweet and patient with our order. read more

Defined Coffee - Yummy pastries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

I was excited to try this spot, but now I'm convinced they just recruit people to recommend this place on local social media groups, because the drinks were beyond bland. My husband and I both ordered different flavored lattes, and we immediately looked at each other in confusion when we tried them... because there was zero flavor in either of them. Coffee flavor itself was mild and burnt. The workers were kind enough, but seemed a bit confused and distracted. We ordered 2 macaroons for our kiddos and only received one, had to go back to ask for the second one we paid for. Cute atmosphere and everything seemed clean, but not a place I'd spend my money on again. read more

Coffee is just ok as well as service. Have heard negative things about the owner. One is he won't one person I know of go there who he decided he didn't like without good evidence even after the person had been going there for years. So strange. read more

Best coffee and amazing homemade granola. Staff is super nice and friendly and love the style.

A wonderful space to relax and get work done or enjoy your coffee and quiet or grab and go! Seriously! This place is inside the church and has such a variety of spaces from couch to fireside to high bar table seating options to even a selection outside. The coffee options are vast, the coffee is amazing- like perfect balance of milk and espresso if you get a latte- perfect. Also, they have fresh local bakery items! read more

Defined Coffee - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

My favorite all-time place to have coffee. Hex in Charlotte and methodical in Greenville has amazing coffee. Define dominates the coffee scene in Lake Norman. read more

The baristas were so sweet and friendly! The location was a bit confusing, but yes they are located in a church! It was so clean and airy and I truly loved that they had a little kid's corner!! I think all cafes should offer this cause I mean who frequents cafes more than moms with their toddlers who cannot survive the day without caffeine, am I right? The coffee was great too!! I got an iced specialty latte, and my husband got an iced americano- both were delicious and just what we needed to get through the rest of the day. We would definitely be back if we're in the area again! read more

We are such big fans of Defined coffee. No matter the location, it is always a great experience with the staff, ambiance, coffee, and baked goods. We swung by Sunday afternoon and got to endings in their Fall menu. I got the Autumn Spice Tea which was an amazing caffeine-free drink. It's served like a London Fog but with an amazing fall flavor. My husband got the Maple Latte which was also amazing. Maple lattes are super hit or miss and usually end up tasting like a candle but this one was fabulous. The ambiance here is great to get together with friends, knock some work out, or for just a relaxing afternoon. It is quiet but not too quiet and there is plenty of outdoor and indoor space to enjoy. read more

Nice facility, good muffins but the coffee is terrible. Servers behind the counter are indifferent. I love a good Indy coffee shop. This one has the vibe really bad coffee! read more

This place is open and spacious. Upon entering, there were many people inside enjoying coffee (or whatever they drink) and working on their laptops. Several other tables were occupied by folks having a meeting. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The place is wide open. I am not much of a coffee drinker other than first thing in the morning but I decided to try an iced beverage, pumpkin. I didn't like it so more syrup was offered (two pumps). It was now drinkable but not something I want to get used to. There were approx. seven huge cupcakes remaining when we stopped in (after lunch). No worries here because I wasn't hungry. All in all, a nice open place to stop in for a hot or cold drink from a coffee bar, located on the premises of Lake Forest Church but as I read in the local newspaper, an entity separate from the church. When you are in the area of Gilead Road in Huntersville, be sure to stop in for craft coffee or lattes! read more

Great spot!!! So glad I found it. Remarkably, they have been there for six years! So sorry I have missed it all this time. Large lobby, great seating, great coffee and pastries! Staff was amazing as well! I will be back again! read more

This is a very chill coffee shop where you can lounge around to get some work done. There's a spacious outdoor seating area with lots of tables. In addition, it is also spacious inside, with lots of seats and couches to choose from. I tried their Honey Cold brew and it did the job of waking me up. Also tried their chocolate cupcake with cream cheese, which I definitely recommend! All in all, I recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere quiet and spacious to do some work. read more

The sweetest baristas, the best coffee. Try the seasonal drinks! The coconut cookie latte (spring) and the white Christmas latte (winter) are my favorites!!! read more

Had a meeting here on a rainy, cold Saturday morning. Had no clue that it was part of a church! Very cool spot, nonetheless. Beautiful inside, plenty of seating, whether chairs / table (bar stool & high top table) or couches & chairs. The baristas are super nice & quick with the orders. Reasonable prices & lots of offerings. Even with the amount of people there this morning, you could still hold a conversation & it not be like being at Starbucks. I got a salted caramel, small. It was AMAZING! I probably should have opted for a bigger size. Perfect taste & temperature. read more

Literally the best coffee, tea, seasonal blends, atmosphere, staff and owner when it comes to a coffee shop. A must visit that will make you not want to go anywhere else. read more

I think this is a great spot for coffee and working or a meeting. They have plenty of space for lots of people to spread out on couches, tables or even around a fireplace. The outdoor area is pretty large and has varied seating options. A great spot when there is great weather! Their coffee is pretty great and I love all of the creative flavor options that they provide. The bakery items look amazing. I had a cinnamon roll and I refuse to look at the case anymore because I want all the items, every time. The tea selection is quite vast. There is something for everyone and you'll be glad you found this place. They have two rooms that can be closed off for meetings and seminars. I attended one seminar there and we had plenty of room, nice layout and the coffee shop made it easy to serve everyone without having to do anything extra. read more

The baristas here are cool people. Good beards, super nice, and gifted. I got something with an orange flavor with maybe vanilla and oat milk (alternative milk options are spot on!). The steamed milk was spot on - super creamy. I was very impressed because it's hard to get the foam right with alternate milks but the barista banged out a really quick latte art. When I asked for any tips, they were so nice and actually jotted down the name of a YouTuber who they learned from. Felt like a really nice place to come for genuinely nice people and delicious coffee. They have unique and classic drinks, some food options, and lots of local coffee beans/grounds for sale. read more

Ignore for a second it's literally connected to a church.... it's hands down the best coffee you can get in the Huntersville area. Great atmosphere for families with room for you to work solo with your laptop or read. They play music at just the right level so it's not disruptive too. read more

Beautiful atmosphere and great coffee not to mention the service from the nicest of women! They also have delicious pastries.

Typical American coffee, burnt tasting and more tea like than espresso like. Their pastries are good. Service is beyond slow but they do really nice designs with the milk foam. Seating is kind of uncomfortable to sit and eat at, and the place feels a bit like a library. ****It is at the entrance of a church**** read more

The coffee was good just a little awkward being that it's right inside of a church! Definitely wasn't church dressed considering we just rolled out of bed a wanted to grab a cup of coffee. This is the 2nd coffee shop in the area that was connect to a church maybe same owners. read more

Great coffee! Great baristas ! The beans were great when we ground them!! The bags of coffee are really resealable!

Sigh. I miss Studio Coffee. Of course the drinks at Defined Coffee are still just as delicious, the openness of the location just takes away from the charm that they captured at Studio Coffee. I guess the new thing to do is to open coffee shops in churches as this is the second or third one that I've experienced. Kind of a weird concept if you ask me, but whatever works. There is plenty of space at Defined in which to sit, relax, read a book, or work. The staff is extremely awesome, I just wish it was not so far away from my house! read more

Defined Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

So much potential, just ruined by the barista and the coffee. Convenient parking and a large clean space were a good start. I commented on the good-looking pastries with no response, then asked if the barista had tried a certain tea on the menu- a curt "no" was her only reply. I decided to try the tea and also a latte. As she wrote the order on the cups, I realized the tea was actually also a latte (that was not written on the board), so I said I'll just take the other latte, much to her annoyance. The latte I did get was MORE THAN $8. She gossiped with a couple girls at the bar while she made my drink that tasted like burnt milk. Absolute waste of time and money, and quite the ironic motto on the cups. read more

LOVE this space and it's layout. The staff is extremely friendly and the coffee is delicious!

This is inside a church. Nothing wrong with that, but it should be clearer for customers on their social media pages. I would not feel comfortable going to a church to relax with a coffee. I'm sure others feel the same. read more

Guys, pull up a chair because I have a lot to say about Defined Coffee. I wandered into Defined Coffee almost a year ago and fell in love. It's a quaint coffee shop in the middle of Lake Forest Church. The baristas are always - and I mean always - friendly, even the church staff I've worked with professionally go above and beyond to support me and my agency. Furthermore, the lattes and baked good are delicious. If you see a chocolate cream cheese muffin in their pastry case, grab it immediately. IMMEDIATELY! You will not be disappointed. Finally, I just want to say Keifer, Defined Coffee co-founder, is a sweetheart. You can tell there's a lot of passion behind Defined Coffee. read more

I consider myself so lucky to have found this little jewel while I was in town on a sales call. I wasn't STARVING and I hadn't had a cuppa yet that day. My oat milk latte and gf SUPER-stoopid-chocolate doughnut was the perfect recharge for another appointment half an hour away. Combine that with excellent customer service, a beautiful cup of coffee, fresh baked goods, and an overall sense of good mojo, this place is a fantastic stop for fuel. Spacious venue, soothing music at just the right volume. Price point is a little high, but for the overall package, I didn't mind so much. Truly. read more

This coffee shop is my favorite! So glad they finally opened in mooresville! They decor and environments is bar none...such great baristas too and their seasonal flavors are always so yummy! read more

It is in a church building, which I was taken back by. There is plenty of seating and restrooms there. Only about two places to plug in your devices though. Coffee was really good and the macaron on point! The have the world atlas of coffee book there, which is an excellent coffee book if you are really into the process of making good coffee. Overall no complaints. read more
