I had heard about Beyond Amazing Donuts, but never had the opportunity to try until we stumbled…read moreupon them at the Uptown Farmer's Market yesterday. We got the strawberry biscoff donut and cinnamon roll. The strawberry donut did not have a biscoff drizzle as pictured online, so I did not get a strong biscoff flavor with only a couple cookie crumbs on top. However, the strawberry frosting tasted fresh, not that artificial candy flavor, so we really enjoyed that! The star of the show was the texture! It was light and fluffy, amazing! We really loved this donut even if it missed on the biscoff notes. The cinnamon was a standard cinnamon roll to, us. Nothing stood out about it, but still satisfied a cinnamon roll craving. Service was fantastic- loved the welcoming and friendly vibes. I didn't get the name of the person working the market tent today, but she's great! Definitely give BAD a try if you see them around. We know we will sometime again!

They were oreo flavored and divine. I liked them more than the key lime donut I got my husband and I to share although that burnt marshmallow topping was sooo good! I came late so they didn't have a full selection but the donuts are solid anyway. The shop is so well organized and clean & they sell merch as well I didn't pick up any coffee but they looked good and plenty of choices on the menu We parked in a street spot nearby to get here and didn't have issues on a Sunday afternoon which has free street parking

It actually tasted like banana bread without being overly sweet or artificial. I also tried the donut holes, and they were incredible. Everything felt thoughtfully made and exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a unique coffee drink and a great pastry, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'd absolutely stop by again the next time I'm in town.

Such a cute, festive little coffee shop--especially perfect for the Christmas season. The space was…read moredecorated beautifully for the holidays and had a very warm, welcoming vibe. It's the kind of place that feels cozy the moment you walk in. I ordered a medium decaf latte with their seasonal Nutty Nutcracker flavors (hazelnut and almond), and it was delicious--smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. My husband got the Jingle Bell Rock latte, which includes caramel, butter pecan, brown sugar, and cinnamon. He had it with oat milk since they were out of almond milk, and he really enjoyed it. They're pet-friendly on the outdoor patio, which we always appreciate, and they even had a small section inside with pet-related items available for purchase--a really nice and thoughtful touch. Both medium lattes came out to about $11 total, which felt very reasonable. Between the festive decor, good coffee, and pet-friendly atmosphere, this is definitely a spot I'd recommend and would happily visit again.

We'd been looking for a donut place for sometime on our visits to Charlotte, and we finally came…read moreacross Yummm Donuts ... and glad we did. Seems like one can judge a donut shop by the glazed donuts, and they were very good here. Slightly doughier and more substantial than Krispy Kreme, they had that same great glazed-donut taste with loads of sugar glaze. One of the things we really liked ... and something we never saw before ... was that they made all the Bismarcks the same, and didn't fill them until you ordered it. Neat. They don't have to make 5 different filled donuts, but can make one base donut and fill them to demand. Slows things down a bit but probably saves a lot of waste. Service was friendly and helpful. Inside was clean and inviting. If you're looking for that good sugar rush, give this place a try.

10/10 Highly Recommend! Suarez's Bakery is one of my…read moreabsolute favorite bakeries in Charlotte, and they never disappoint. I stopped by today hoping to grab some of their famous long johns, but the morning crowd had already bought them all out--which honestly tells you everything you need to know about how popular their baked goods are. Some of their favorites definitely sell out early, so getting there sooner is always a good idea. Since the long johns were gone, I picked up two Boston cream donuts and a slice of their strawberry chiffon cake. The strawberry chiffon cake was absolutely incredible. It was so light and airy that it truly felt like eating a cloud with strawberries. It was fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. The Park Road location is my go-to, although they also have a location at Optimist Hall. The customer service is always friendly, and I'm usually in and out quickly, even when they're busy. Suarez's offers an amazing selection of cakes, cookies, donuts, cupcakes, and other baked treats. Everything I've tried has been consistently delicious. I've also used them several times for birthday cakes, and they have always done a fantastic job. Their cakes not only look beautiful, but they taste just as good, making them a great option for special occasions. Another bonus is that they're open on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., which is perfect when you're craving something sweet over the weekend. If you're looking for a bakery in Charlotte that delivers quality, consistency, and delicious desserts, Suarez's Bakery is definitely worth the visit. Just remember: if you're after one of their popular items, get there early because the favorites tend to sell out. 10 out of 10, highly recommend for all your bakery needs--from everyday treats to special occasion cakes.

This location of Suárez Bakery sits in the Park Road Shopping Center, just outside of Optimist Hall…read morewhere their other spot is located. The bakery focuses on small-batch, homemade pastries and artisan baked goods, and there are definitely some standouts. The dulce de leche pastries are fantastic, and anything with guava is usually a great choice. Compared to the Optimist Hall location, the aesthetics here feel a little more understated. The display case was a bit sparse during my visit, though they did have some seasonal cookies available. One thing I wish they had is outdoor seating--it would be nice to grab a pastry and enjoy it outside. Parking here is very easy since it's in a large shopping center, which makes it a convenient stop. I also wish they stayed open later, because it would be a great place to grab dessert after dinner given how many restaurants are nearby. Insider tip: If you're visiting, keep an eye out for the dulce de leche or guava pastries--they're some of the best items in the case. Overall, a solid bakery stop for artisan pastries and baked treats, especially if you're already in the Park Road area.

On our last night the area visiting family, we were supposed to have dinner with long (l-o-n-g)…read moretime friends but they had to cancel at the last hour. So we checked locally and discovered a new (to us) Greek restaurant. My wife and I arrived about 7:00 PM on Thursday, after having made an online reservation. When we arrived, plenty of open booths , so we were seated and brought menus. Any new Greek place we must try their Spanakopita so we ordered one to split. We also decided to split a Greek Salad and a Moussaka. Our Spanakopita came quickly. We divided it and tested. Hmm. Not bad, but not what we're used to having. We actually prefer more filo than here. Her salad came and we divided part of it also. It was crisp, cold and yummy. After a bit my Moussaka arrived. To our surprise it came in a custard bowl and looked like a Shepherd's Pie. Unusual since we've always been served Moussaka in squares like a Lasagna. It was fantastic, a perfect blend of meat and vegetables. Of course next we needed dessert. My wife couldn't decide on the Baklava Cheesecake or the Caramel Cheesecake, so she got both! I liked the Caramel but so sweet I had to drink water with it. Good food, nice ambiance. Service a bit slow and told us they did have a military discount, but somehow forgot to use it. There appeared to be huge dividing panel that maybe closed off larger room for special events.

My Husband got his lamb chops medium well and they were perfect too. I savored every bite of it! The steamed broccoli was also seasoned very well and they were not too soft and not too hard either. The Baklava sundae was also a very good amount. Me and someone else shared the dessert and it was fulfilling. (Not pictured) The coffee, cheesecake, hummus dip and more entrees ordered. - The coffee was very strong and bitter. - The cheesecake was really good and all the different types & flavors of the drizzle was good too. - The hummus and pita bread was very good as well! Great taste to the hummus! The ambiance was calm, modern, yet elegant and classy! The service was also top notch. I do like that you have to reserve, because that makes the experience more personal and I loved that part about it! We went to the restaurant after our church service on Sunday around 2PM and when we were leaving, there was just one other party there, that had a reservation but it was so quiet, you would not have been able to tell. If you like something quiet and intimate, this is the place! The restrooms were very clean and beautiful as well. It did not smell very well so possibly some air fresheners would be helpful, but overall, the good outweighed the bad. Everything will never be perfect but this place was a definite 5/5 rating!

I don't recommend the drive thru.
