    Forest Trail House is so cute! So much parking and a great spot to hang for the day if you have the time! All syrups are homemade - plus tons of drink and food specials! I got the seasonal pumpkin spiced latte with oat milk and it was delicious. Plus the special apple butter cinnamon roll was to die for. If you are hanging around they heat them up for you and it's even better!!! Also went for trivia on Friday night and it was so fun - with SO many people! Great way to be involved in the community and have some local fun!!!

    Cute and cozy coffee shop with great ambiance. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly and knowledgeable. I chose a cookie butter latte iced and a pistachio white chocolate latte hot. Both drinks were just ok. I appreciated they were not too sweet, but they lacked flavor. I could not taste any cookie butter flavor in my iced latte.

    Carmel latte and hot chocolate

    My son and I stopped in this evening for a coffee date and it was such a positive experience! They have mild Halloween decorations around to make it festive and tasteful. Our barista was very friendly and I was so happy to be able to get our drinks in mugs to add to the cozy experience. They make their sauces in house which is a major bonus! I ordered a caramel latter and a hot coco for my son. These beautiful creations were not only made with care but tasted delicious. The latte had the perfect balance of caramel, coffee and foamy milk. The hot coco was just the right temperature and also very well balanced! We will definitely be back, my son and I had such a wonderful time

    This is my absolute favorite coffee shop in the area. Their monthly flavors are creative and everything I've ever ordered is incredible. The sense of community they've built here through their events is awesome.

    White Christmas drink is phenomenal OMG. Strong! So cute and a pleasant surprise to get such a pretty drink. Rimmed with peppermint. I may have to quit Starbucks for the holiday season and stop here every day instead

    Sticky Bun

    This place is fantastic. I came here on a hot afternoon while waiting for my dog to be groomed at Classy Pet Styling nearby. I was warmly greeted when I entered. I immediately noticed the cozy interior with natural light and indoor and outdoor seating. There's even a bouncy house out front for the kids. I asked the barista, who I later realized was the owner, for input on a treat and settled for the sticky bun per his suggestion. I got an iced oat milk matcha to drink. I found a great table in the middle room but needed more light to work, so I came up front. There were a lot of plugs around the shop, which was great. They also did a grab-and-go floral arrangement pop-up shop featuring a local farm/florist's arrangements. As a patron, all you had to do was scan the QR code to pay and take the arrangement with you. I thought this was an awesome way to support another local business while brightening up your shop. Great idea! The sticky bun was absolute perfection and took me back to the ones my childhood best friend's mom would make for us. So good. The matcha was also fantastic. This is an incredible shop, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

    Best bagel!

    Cute coffee shop set up in an old house in Mint Hill. The atmosphere is calm and cozy with seating throughout. They also have a sweet front porch you can sit on to enjoy your coffee/tea/lemonade and try a bagel or pastry. The place was busy so I didn't get many pictures. Lots of variety for coffee drinks. They also have cocktails, so I will definitely be back to try those, but it was a skosh early for cocktails the morning we were there. We had one of the special lattes,iced chai tea and an egg cheese on everything bagel. The drinks were good but the bagel was excellent! Will be back to try the cocktails!

    A lovely coffee shop with great coffee and great service. This place is located in Mint Hill, whi is one of the cities nearby Charlotte. The menu offers hot and cold coffee drink options with some limited pastries items. The service is super friendly and the vibe is cozy and definitely feels like a local business. It has its own free parking lot with plenty of spaces. I have been here several times and plan to come back many more. 100% recommended.

    I stumbled upon this adorable, quaint, eclectic coffee shop on my way home the other day and I wish I didn't. (This isn't one of those type of reviews) I don't live in the Mint Hill-Matthews area so I'm sad I won't be here more often. This cute little coffee house has many different iced coffee flavors well as as, beer and wine. Not to mention, I got one of their large cinnamon rolls and I'm pretty sure the top was made with some kind of brown butter icing. Nonetheless it was soo good!! I enjoyed the cinnamon toast latte and a cinnamon roll to go. The customer service was southern hospitality and kindness. I'm so glad I stopped in. I'll definitely make my way there again when I'm in the area!

    Super good!!! I have been here numerous times and every time it has been delicious. The service is great and they are super friendly. A great place to sit and do some work and have a nice tea or coffee! I definitely recommend the cinnamon bun!!!

    Great Experience Our second time and not sure why we waited…read moreso long. Received great service - we told her our preferences and she picked a great wine and then an app - the crap dip and the wine were great! She also suggested the pork belly sandwich- very rich and delicious! Won't wait so long to go back

It has hummus, carrots, cucumbers, Deviled eggs. Bacon wrapped dates with jam. Spinach artichoke dip and pita bread. And the stuffed mushrooms. I want to go back on today. I also had the rose slushie and that was good as well. It's definitely a little splash of a drink. It's tasty but tiny. I think it was around $8. It comes in the flute you see pictured. I wish it was a little more bc we all know slushies slurp down to just ice once flavor goes. Either way, the menu was more vast than we had expected. We thought it was a pure wine bar with maybe charcuterie. But we were thrilled to see otherwise. We also looked at foods that others ordered & we will be back to try that too! The servers were kind. We had multiple servers check on us throughout our time. Very prompt and attentive. That made for a pleasant experience. We sat on the patio. And I survived for the most part, but it is allergy season haha. It is lovely out there and most guests joined on the patio. It is quaint and small.

If you end up having such a great time that you hang late, they don't rush you out or blast "Closing Time" to make things awkward. They're chill and let you finish up at your own pace. The food trucks are hit or miss--sometimes absolutely amazing, sometimes not great--but there's always something happening. There are five businesses inside, so it never feels boring. They host comedy nights, live bands, karaoke, Pokémon events, and board game days/nights, which gives it a cool community vibe. My singular complaint would be when the daylight changes to evening, these awful too-white bright lights come on that make you feel like you need sunglasses and ruin the cozy vibe. They did add some warmer lights around the garage door, but I wish they would change the color of those really bright ones that come on at night. Overall, it's a fun, relaxed place to hang out.
