Had to stop in to try the Blue Velvet - a house made blueberry lemon syrup paired with matcha! The flavors blend together so well and truly bring a bright and springy flavor. I also LOVE that they ask if I want my matcha sweetened. They use a very high quality matcha, so typically I won't don't get my matcha sweetened. Love the atmosphere here. Great place to network and or knock out some work. Lines move quick and the staff are very friendly! read more

Night Swim Coffee - Blue Velvet Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

My coworker rants and raves about this place, so I decided to give them a try today. I ordered a Latte and added the Carmel flavor which totaled over $7. Very pricey for the size and the coffee was just okay. The girls working didn't have a friendly vibe at all. Very dry. I definitely won't return based on price and mid service. read more

Night Swim Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Night Swim is such a creative name for a hub that keeps you up. This modern branch has a particular beautiful interior design in the financial district of Uptown. My favorite by far. read more

I had not been to this location in awhile but thankfully was in the area. Excited to see the seasonal offerings, I was also glad to see Tyler! He is always so pleasant and accommodating! I tried the Paloma Sunrise and it did not disappoint. Unfortunately I had to switch to a larger cup because mine was leaking. Tyler was quick to offer a solution. The Sunrise actually tasted better 'upside down' when poured into another cup. Such a clean, fun place! read more

While visiting my sister and BIL they took me to Night Swim for breakfast. I'm not huge on quiche, but I wanted something heartier than a pastry for breakfast, so I decided to order the seasonal quiche. It blew me away! The flavors were feta and broccoli. It was incredibly light and fluff as well. I feel like I'm going to be thinking about this quiche for WEEKS. They are also dog friendly which goes so far with me as someone who insists on bringing my senior dog everywhere with me (that will allow of course). They had cookies for her! All in all this is such a great low key spot for a morning nosh and caffeine hit! read more

Night Swim is such a solid coffee spot. The coffee itself is really good, although I do wish there were a few more customization options. That being said, the bagels are AMAZING and honestly worth the trip alone. The atmosphere is super cozy and great place to get work done for a few hours. read more

The baristas were not friendly...not even a single smile. Their coffee was mid, the matcha was terrible. They do not validate parking so keep that in mind, you'll be paying $12 and your drink. The one star is for the cold brew, that was 8/10. read more

This score might seem low to some, as Night Swim Coffee is a very popular local coffee shop with multiple locations throughout the city. I agree that their coffee is very good, but this particular location I'm not in love with. It serves its purpose in that it is a convenient quick stop for bankers working Uptown and is located in the new Legacy Union that hosts workers from the ACC to Bank of America. But to me it feels too sterile. There is nothing in the way of decor, it's too bright, it doesn't seem like a place I'd want to spend any time at, just a place to grab a coffee and go. Again, if this is what you are looking for, then it works. I myself have stopped in when I have a brief window to grab a coffee before a meeting. But for me, when I look for a coffee shop, I like a place I can stop in and relax. A place that feels warm and cozy. I'd much rather walk a little further to one of the other cafes Uptown if I have the time. Cliff notes version, is this place has good coffee, but feels to busy and corporate to be a vibe. read more

Great house made goodies and they switch out seasonally I believe. I loved the banana nut zucchini initially but I haven't been here in a few months and they now have pumpkin bread which is really good as well. They did have really savory grits but that has been removed from the menu as well. I had the brown butter rum latte and that was just ok. Love having them in my building as an option. read more

Best mocha in Charlotte! I come to town every few years from Berkeley, CA and always stop here, even though it's the opposite direction from my office. The house made chocolate sauce is perfect! Just sweet enough, just rich enough. The beans are smooth and silky. Not too much acid and not bitter. I ask for extra hot and it's always just right. The folks behind the counter are always friendly and get my morning off to a good start. I try other spots out of curiosity and always regret it and end up coming back here. read more

I have frequented NSC several times since my first review. I really love their yogurt parfait and in the summer I couldn't stop ordering the golden milk latte: Here Comes the Sun. So good! I'll go elsewhere for my avocado toast, but I'm a fan of this coffee shop for other things. read more

My favorite coffee in Charlotte hands down! My coworkers from out of town all say it's the best as well and they're from all over the world

Perfect location for a quick coffee or espresso as soon as you come off the escalator. I ordered a shot of espresso which was 3.00 but it was so smooth and creamy and strong. It was just the pick me up that I needed after a long train ride in on a rainy day. The 2 guys in there were friendly and fast. While I waited on my espresso another customer came in and ordered a black coffee and received the same friendly warm service. However she asked about pastries or something to eat and one of the guys said they were still waiting on permits to clear before they could serve simple pastries. read more

Awesome new spot in the Bank of America building on the second floor!! The aesthetic is great, and there are lots of quiet seating spots to chat, have a meeting, or work. I loved my iced matcha latte - They have a sweetened and unsweetened option. I got sweetened, but I would do unsweetened next time as the simple syrup was pretty sweet. The matcha and froth was perfect, though! The peppermint tea was also amazing, and the "for here" serving ware/presentation was very pleasing and instagrammable!! Lastly, I got a plain bagel and cream cheese and it was INCREDIBLE. The cream cheese serving was very adequate, and the bagel was really unique and tasty! It was on the airy side and tasted like it was made with corn potentially?? It just had a corn tortilla essence that I loved but can't explain. Highly recommend!! read more

For the two star reviewers that aren't subjective, I recommend you give this location another try! The service, like their other locations, is friendly and thorough. I greatly appreciate a coffee shop that can speak to the origin, roasting process, supply, and the complexity of their beans. Not to mention their food is locally sourced and immense thought is put into their recipe designs. Night Swim takes their craft seriously and I'll continue to favorite this business until another supersedes their service delivery (if that's possible). For reviews putting their atmosphere into question, do note that this shop is in an office building. The setting, personality, and vibe are not going to be what you find at their Oakhurst location. read more

I've been to three coffee shops in the last 24 hours and this is hands down the best cold brew I've had. The food- "plough boy" grits bowl with bacon and a poached egg was just as incredible. The employees were super kind and the atmosphere was great. Can't say enough good things about this place! read more

Wow! I have never experienced something like this but here we go! I tried out this place and really liked their matcha latte but i cant often go there since its too far. My husband was excited to surprise me with my fav drink & asked for no ice since he will need to drive 30 min and the ice will melt and make the taste all yukky. So he goes in and asks for the drink with no ice & 6.50 later he is handed a half full cup & when he questions it he is told that this is the amount without the ice and that ice fills 4oz of the drink!!! I have never ever heard of this & wow!! read more

After discovering my all time fav CLT coffee spot, Rush Coffee, didn't survive the pandemic, I needed to locate a replacement go-to so gave Night Swim a try I'd been to Not Just Coffee the day before & found they used Night Swim beans so thought it best to come to the source.....plus this was a bit closer to the office than NJC Latte w/ an extra shot. 12 oz with creamy steamed milk and the shots were bold & smooth. No sweetener required. If I had to compare NJC with NS, while both were tasty, I'd say Night Swim was the winner Go here read more

Quite good coffee! No lines! At least when I was there. Early AM. But closed weekends! Nice setting. YMCA next door.

Great spot for coffee if you are in uptown. Quick service and great coffee. Definitely recommend also inside BOA building.

I tried the masala chai and it is nicely balanced between sweet and spice. I came in the morning so the place was empty. It's located on the second floor of the bank of america tower. I do wish they had more seasonal drinks though. The seating is more aesthetic than comfortable with the couches being quite low and the chairs hard, which may make it hard to sit and work for a longer period. Parking is at Legacy parking deck and is not validated. not a huge fan of the space. their other locations is more accessible. read more

Night Swim Coffee - masala chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I got a sweetened matcha and everything bagel here and everything was impeccable. The matcha had that stronger fresh, green flavor and it was sweetened to perfection. Everything bagel came out toasted, seasoning wasn't overpowering and the texture was perfect. Even with such a simple order this place blew my expectations out of the water!! Such high quality. Service was also fast and very friendly. The real pull here though is the ambience. High open ceilings, lush upholstery and tasteful pops of color. This place takes an over-done aesthetic and gives it new life. It makes you remember why the trend became fashionable in the first place! The interior of this establishment distills the glossy millennial aesthetic into something fresh and sophisticated. I feel like I'm in the Calatrava art museum in Milwaukee. The pricing is something to consider- my drink & bagel cost ~ $10. Keep that in mind if you're on a budget but the space and quality of the goods make it worth every dime. read more

New Nice coffee shop! Friendly employees. Avocado too simple- thin slice of toast 1/2 avocado left me hungry for $8.75. Latte was ok, but was lacking espresso flavor. Will not be back read more

Disappointed at their lack of size options and the coffee is nothing special. It's $5 for a 12oz latte and no other sizes offered. Americano is an 8oz only, and almost everything else is only 12oz, yet everything is a venti-sized Starbucks price point. Starbucks, DD, and Caribou taste better, and for $5+ I can get a bigger size. read more

Weird vibe. Went on a Wednesday afternoon, and we were the only people in there. In that respect, not what I'm looking for in a coffee shop. Coffee was fine. read more

Inside of the Bank of America building by the Stonewall light rail stop, is the most aesthetically pleasing coffee shop in all of Uptown. I got the iced coffee with a splash of almond milk and it was incredibly smooth. I enjoyed their glassware option when you plan to stay inside. The music taste was so soothing and such happy vibes. The barista was nice and I got a lot of work done. I totally recommend this place. read more
