I went to Sunflour on a Saturday afternoon with a friend. And let me just say I really like their…read morepastries. I think my best experience here is getting a sweet item to go. Sitting in the restaurant and eating is not the same experience. My friend and I got the same sandwich. Hers was missing the bacon and mine was missing the lettuce. My coffee was not hot. I asked for it to be reheated. I got a new one and that one wasn't hot either. I hate warm or cold coffee. The seating area can use a good cleaning. And the food is very expensive. It gets on my nerves when the tip screen pops up because I don't want to give a tip if my coffee is consistently cold and my sandwich is missing stuff. It's already overpriced to begin with. The young lady at the register needs a bit more training. The last time I stopped in she gave me a very sloppy earl gray tea. I had to deconstruct the cup which was very poorly put together with two lids...smh. Anyway, I know to order my pastries to go when I come here. A cookie, albeit large, is about $5.35 with tax! I'm all for supporting small local businesses, but you have to give me good service and don't charge me an arm and a leg and still expect a tip for a cookie to go. If they clean up the interior, get the orders correct and train their young staff member a little better this might be a decent place to stop in and enjoy a lite lunch. But be prepared for a hefty tab.

Oh where to start. I…read moreplaced an online order today for pick up. I currently am walking with a cane due to injury/health issues. When I arrived I asked for my order (two smoothies, two entrees, kale slaw and a bag of chips). The employee from behind the counter walked around to hand me my food and drinks. I told her I will need to make two trips since I don't have two hands to carry everything. I then asked if I could have a drink carrier to help make carrying my two smoothies easier. I was told no, it is their policy that only customers with three or more drinks can have a carrier. I was in shock. I am standing there with a cane in my hand and was told I could make multiple trips if needed. Absolutely absurd. I walked to my car carrying my bag of food first and then came back for my drinks. Then a second employee came out to hand me both drinks again. I told her I can only carry one at a time if I am unable to have a drink carrier. At least this time the employee offered to help. I was so taken back by my first encounter I still just couldn't believe it. To make things worse both smoothies were chunky and full of ice. To top it off I went to take my food out and noticed that the kale slaw did not have a plastic lid but was instead wrapped in plastic wrap. The liquid had gotten all over the bag. This experience officially ends my trips to the tropical smoothie cafe. This is the absolute worst managed cafe in the north Charlotte area. Do not come here.

When I went there was a mother and daughter working together. I assume they are the owners of this new donut shop. The main feature is their glazed donut. They are so light and airy - certainly not a dense donut. They use a proprietary yeast dough with a tasty glaze. You can add a topping as they offer several flavors - vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cherry, Maple, etc. you can also get sprinkles on top! They also offer Kolaches. These are dough filled sandwiches. They look amazing and will have to try them another time. Check them out when you are in Concord.

The space is sleek, modern, and very clean. They have a large selection of coffee and tea drinks, plus baked goods, coffee beans, and other coffee and tea accessories for sale. There's also a convenient drive-thru if you're in a hurry. The baristas were friendly and efficient. I ordered the Strawberry Crème Matcha and a Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, and both were delicious. The matcha was refreshing without being overly sweet, and the Vietnamese coffee was rich, smooth, and exactly what I was hoping for. Overall, this is a great coffee shop whether you're looking for a place to work, catch up with someone, or just grab a quality drink. I'd definitely come back.
