They have other healthy snacks you can grab as well. Lots of parking and seating inside. I'd definitely come back to this location! Really great staff and options!!

The Greener Apple has many affordable Eco-friendly items to help you waste less and be more mindful about consumption. I found some awesome silicone bowl covers, laundry detergent strips, and a few grocery items that are harder to find (low sodium better than bouillon vegetable bouillon, and hazelnut cacao butter). We enjoyed looking through the used bookstore, but we wish we had more time! It was quite an extensive collection! They also have have a ton of reusable tote bags, some of which would make an excellent reusable gift bag or a library/bookstore bag to carry books.

The owner was not at the market, so there was no explanation for allowing the customer in while it was closed. If they were closed, the open Sign should have been off and the entrance locked.

Last year, I had a sandwich in Spain that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. I've tried several places around Charlotte looking for something similar, but nothing came close. I reached out to The Culture Shop to see if they'd be willing to recreate it, and not only did they say yes, they turned it into their weekly special using local honey, locally sourced peppers, and local bread. The result completely exceeded my expectations. It captured everything I loved about the original while adding its own Charlotte twist. It was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've had. Beyond the food, the team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and excited about what they do. The shop itself is worth browsing too, with a menu full of creative sandwiches and delicious options, plus a thoughtfully curated selection of pantry items and specialty foods. It's rare to find a business that's this passionate, creative, and willing to go the extra mile for a customer. I'll definitely be back, and I can't recommend The Culture Shop enough!
