As a Yelp Elite I was on a personal mission today to do a Yelp review and I had the idea to finally…read moretry Sips & Dips so I grabbed my kids and off we went! The outside and inside are both very cute with lots of pink! I debated on getting a picture perfect cookie because they looked amazing- but I decided on getting a social media worthy drink so I could take a fun selfie on this 90 degree day. I chose the "Proud 2 Be" drink because it had bold red, white, and blue colors. I have to say: false advertising! I was handed a very muddled drink and I even asked, "This is mine?" and the staff member said, "Yes" and I said "It looks so beautiful and different in the picture" and she said, "Yeah, it looks different when you make it." The staff member was lovely - bright and bubbly from the moment we walked in and throughout the whole time she waited on us. I'm not sure if she doesn't know how to make this drink or if it's false advertising. I didn't take a selfie pic for my accounts because it wasn't much to look at. Silver lining: it tasted good. My girls got pretzel nuggets and an Achy Breaky Heart drink (it was in a white cup so no idea if it had the pretty sunrise look) - they liked them.

There is no where to sit inside but there are some tables outside if you want to eat/drink there. It's a fancy soda shop so most of the drinks have Coke, Diet Coke, Dr Pepper, lemonade, Fresca, sparkling water or Mountain Dew as the base and they add Torani drink syrups to create a tasty drink. Go on Thursday! It's thirsty Thursday so you can bring any size cup and they will fill it up for the price of a small. They filled up my 40 oz Stanley for less than $4. I got the Arabian nights- lemonade with lime and mint. It was SO good and so refreshing. I would get it again but would also love to try something new as they all look so good! I also tried the spa water and didn't like it as much, this was sparkling water with a lemon, a lime and mint, nothing fancy- get this if you don't want anything too sweet- just tasted like tap sparkling water.

A lovely discrete treasure, a blessing to the South Charlotte food scene…read more This easy to find yet tucked away café was the best breakfast I've had in many years. The meal started off with an iced rosemary lavender latte crafted with their in house syrup made with cane sugar and fresh herbs. Rosemary and coffee has been a revelation to my palate and I'll be back for this alone. Which I will happily enjoy in this comfortable and cute dining area. Breakfast was made to order from fresh ingredients, piping hot and intentionally seasoned. As their bright and cheerful owner puts it, the main ingredient is love. And trust me, you can taste it. This is the first time in my two decades of eating tofu that I can actually shoutout how delicious it is. And the aromas coming of this photogenic waffle were mouthwatering. While Charlotte has become over run with corporate and copy cat restaurants, it is truly a thing of comfort to enjoy a delicious meal made by good people that care not only about what's on the plate, but who is eating from it. 6 stars

I came in initially having high expectations due to the high rating on Yelp…read more When you walking in, it's a local coffee shop feel with brunch food which is inviting. We didn't wait for too long for the table as people were just leaving. It took a bit for the waiter to come to our table and took even longer for him to get our food orders in, which we noticed he got the food orders in for the other tables with people who came in after us. This then lead them to getting their food before ours. I ordered the breakfast combo which came with 2 eggs, bacon, and waffle. I was a bit surprised that this place didn't have any chicken or turkey protein side options as I've seen is common with brunch places. I also got my eggs scrambled which, as you can see by the picture, came out as an omelette. When asking the worker about the confusion, he doubled down on it being scrambled eggs and even gossiped to his coworker about it as well. Upon the unfair wait and the egg situation, I will not be returning here again.

I was sold when I walked in and saw they offer Açaí bowls They also offer a variety of smoothies, sweet/savory toast, and protein balls. Love the "You Do You" bowl option to create your own from base choices (açaí, super greens, pitaya), unlimited fruits, 2 toppings, and 2 swirls. They also have a few ready theme options if you have trouble being creative. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Cute convo seating space at front of shop and a few tables to dine in. When in the area I won't hesitate to stop in for a treat without all the guilt!

It is in downtown Monroe with street parking and some public parking lots. Our daughter said she has been there around 11:00am and got a spot on the street right in front. It is very eclectic with decor and items for sale. They have indoor seating, seating along entrance hall and outdoor seating. You order at one counter, which has a large menu boards above the counter. The young lady that took our order was very nice. You pay over at the bar area. It was not busy at the time we were there. I had the Salad Sandwich. You can get it with chicken salad, tuna salad or chickLESS salad. I had the chicken salad in a spinach wrap with lettuce and tomato. There are other bread options. The wrap was filled with the chicken salad. It was nicely seasoned and tasted really good. My husband and daughter both did the Pick Your Burger, a build your own. My husband had the burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions and pepper jack cheese. My daughter added bacon, lettuce, grilled onions and provolone cheese. They both said it was a great burger. We enjoyed our food. Definitely will come back.
