I chose to check this place because we love trying coffee shops, and it was a gift shop too. Hospitality. Super friendly and accommodating. Some tables inside at front, more in back, and one table outdoor Offerings. Standard coffee shop and upscale gift shop with Michigan made and vendors. There were unique gifts for entertaining, kitchen, stationery, and whimsy things. From the barista counter, we got an iced mocha and drip coffee. The condiment station had mini moos, but the barista offfered to give me real cream from a local dairy, Moo-ville Creamery. Good cream with the delicious coffee, Jamaicain Me Crazy. We also got an apple danish and egg bite. Sadly, they forgot the whip for the mocha, and heat the food items. Thankfully they fixed the issues when I brought it to their attention. Of Note and Last Impressions. Beautiful loo: clean, stocked, pretty decor. Street parking and lot parking near by. Overall, would return. Would recommend.

With that said, there is a very hometown feel when you walk into this place. The staff are very kind and seemingly gentle spirited. The ordering process is intimate and quick and then there are expansive seating options just around the corner. The drip coffee was amazing! Robust but not bitter. The breakfast burrito was also delicious, the sausage makes it crave-able. The cinnamon roll was decent, not my favorite cinnamon roll due to perhaps a citrus flavor experience I could have lived without. It may have been better had I asked for it to be warmed. (But I'm not a fan of having to warm a cinnamon roll in order for it to be good)

Do not get beans here. Do not let them grind them. I like to support local shops when I am…read moretraveling and I have my own espresso maker. I asked for espresso grind. When I opened the bag I could tell right away it was too fine. I attempted to pull a shot, but got nothing. It was most definitely Turkish grind. Since I could do nothing with the bag, I went back to explain this was ground too fine. The same individual was there and reacted with condensation, saying this is indeed espresso grind, which is basically Turkish, and he doesn't know what kind of maker I have so he cannot dial it in. I said I have never had this problem in the years I have done this at other shops. He acted like he could do nothing for me, so when I pressed that I can do nothing with these beans I spent money on, he got on the phone. At one point I heard him say, "Yes, I tried to explain that to her." As if I didn't know what I was talking about. I was finally given the option to get a bag of beans without having them ground, which is all I really wanted. I can grind the beans in my own grinder at home. I went down the street and bought a bag of beans there. I asked for espresso grind and mentioned that the last place gave me Turkish. She had to look up the appropriate setting, but she got it perfect. When I got home and opened the bag of beans from Black Iron, the beans were oily and smelled burnt. My coffee tasted that way, too. I was rather shocked because the latter I had ordered with my purchase was not bad. I had to use them up slowly by masking the bad taste with my go-to beans.

I also wanted a nice place to hang out and write. Evelyn Bay far exceeded my expectations. It doesn't look like much from outside, but inside is a very cool old space, very open and airy with very high ceilings, hardwood floors, a gorgeous tin ceiling, and an eclectic mix of furniture, local crafts, and art. The people working there are quite nice. There are a variety of fresh brewed coffees. I asked for the dark roast, which was actually a very tasty medium-bodied coffee. I judge this a triumph in Charlotte, where most people seem to prefer their coffee pretty bland. I also had a delicious bran muffin. I didn't try the expresso drinks. There's free wifi, which seems to be pretty fast. (I'm writing this at the restaurant.)
