Was there for a 1-on-1 business mtg; hoped for an easy place to caffeinate & chat. Felt like an added task meeting here in a sea of regulars. The popular & intimate venue did not allow much space for conversation, only found 1 seat by the register. Did not see info about wifi but could have missed it as there were def peeps working on laptops- maybe I had to ask for that like I did the bathroom key. Got a good matcha latte in a lovely 'delivery.' Staff was polite, efficient. Dearth of offerings info - again, customers there are likely regulars-- so baristas didn't offer info I didn't expressly ask for. (I couldn't see what the milk subs were for drinks, or decaf options, etc.) The drink was fine but this is not the venue for me. I commuted to get there, & was annoying finding a spot in the close-quarters lot. Then had to stop busy staff to ask for the bathroom key...esplly awkwd since I had to go more than once. (Driving & caffeinating, you know?!) This place was just not my cuppa. . read more

Whenever I'm in Charlotte, I love to visit Night Swim Coffee. Honestly, everything I've tried from there has been a hit. This time I stopped in early, so it was nice and quiet. I got to chat with the baristas, who recommended one of their seasonal drinks. The Blackberry Shortbread Cookie Latte. It was the perfect mix of creamy and sweet, with a distinct "matcha-ey" quality where all the flavors balanced each other out perfectly. I really wish I'd had more time to sit and enjoy it there, the space looked so cozy! You definitely have to give their coffee a try. They have several locations throughout the city, but I highly recommend checking this one out! read more

Night Swim has established itself as the best coffee roaster in Charlotte. Their lattes and cappuccinos are consistent across all seven locations--with each extraction tasting exactly the same, allowing the coffee's nuances to emerge through a rich creamy milk foam. In recognition of their well deserved acclaim, I visited all 7 branches throughout the city. Every location possesses a distinct architectural identity, yet all are unified by the central aesthetic of refined minimalism--clean lines, thoughtful seat placement, and sophisticated materiality that reflects their understanding in the delivery of that highly coveted contemporary café experience. read more

Stopped by here for a second visit to co-work with a friend, and once again had a nice experience. I got one of their seasonal drinks and a breakfast burrito, and both were delicious. The vibes inside were great, and the service was fast and friendly. Will definitely keep coming back as part of my coffee shop rotation! read more

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

I tried night swim for the first time after the winter farmers market. I wasn't sure if I was feeling coffee or matcha, I decided on matcha once I seen they had a seasonal blueberry lemon matcha. I've never had that flavor combo before in a matcha, but I'm so glad I tried it! It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, would definitely recommend! read more

Great coffee spot. Very light and bright. Nice spot to work if you're looking for a change from the home office. The coffee is great, but I personally love the Masala Chai! The breakfast sandwich is tasty but could use a little more aioli. It gets absorbed by the brioche so it can get a little lost. Ordering is at the counter and everyone is super friendly and helpful! read more

Night Swim Coffee - Masala Chai with almond milk and a Latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Stopped by Sunday morning for some food and coffee. Not a lot of people here yet so there were lots of parking spots. I got a cappuccino while my sister got the pumpkin spice latte. My sister got the breakfast sandwich which was egg, bacon, and cheese on brioche. I got the breakfast burrito which was pretty filling! The barista recommended it saying it was the most popular burrito on the menu. I was impressed! Everything was good. Hope to come back if we're in the area! read more

Love having a local coffee shop nearby to walk to, service is always super fast and the baristas are so friendly!

This was my first visit and I really like this coffee shop. There is space to sip on your favorite brew and work or just grab a coffee and relax. It's spacious. They have gender neutral restrooms and the menu is large. They also have great customer service AND the food is tasty PLUS the coffees are especially delicious! I tried the Ube Matcha Latte! Omg it was good! It's seasonal so I'll have to come back for it before it ends. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center and there is outside seating. read more

I was excited to check out the pour over options but unfortunately they didn't have any dialed in at the moment. However the single origin drip was very good, probably better than most pour overs at other shops Perfect place to work for the afternoon. Spacious and comfortable seating with plenty of outlets read more

Masala chai is my favorite and I was really happy to see it on the menu. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. 10/10 would go everyday if I could. read more

Must get the parfait and whatever the specials are bc they are always delish! Location is great to work from as well

So great. I love all their locations. Their staff at each location are wonderful...the coffee is liquid gold caffeine and there is ample space to sit and enjoy. I love how consistent it is between all of their locations. What you experience at one location....you'll experience at ALL. No cap. Bought a bag of coffee beans for a gift and they even ground the beans for me. Love them!! read more

love love love! staff was amazing and such a welcoming atmosphere. had the chai and the quiche. both were amazing and i'm a chai connoisseur. 100% recommend read more

This was a visit that felt controlled without being rigid. The environment was comfortable, and the atmosphere stayed even throughout. Staff members maintained a respectful tone and kept things moving quietly. There were no delays or confusion that caught my attention. It was easy to move through from start to finish. read more

On the way to work and decided to stop by this coffee shop for something "different". Went with their iced Vanilla Latte with an extra shot of espresso. Very flavorful and delicious. Not so sweet and I definitely tasted that extra shot which I LOVED & needed. Ordered their Avocado toast and OMG it was the best ever! I love their different ingredients from their micro cilantro, onions, spicy sauce and of course their avocado. It's a bit pricey but I will come back any chance I get to eat it again. Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking spots. Employees were super polite and efficient. The location is small but chic. Couple of seating options both inside and outside. read more

Fun coffee shop with a great variety of coffees and teas. They also have some baked goods. Lots of seating inside that would be perfect for working ( lots of folks taking advantage of the laid-back atmosphere to do so). They have a small patio area outside where you can sit and enjoy your caffeine fix. Parking lot is a little crazy as there are other shops around, and FYI, they do not take cash! The lady in front of me handed me her cash, and I just put it on my card. Overall would definitely go back. Great coffee, baked goods a vibes read more

A great spot to get some work done! Lots of natural light and a good atmosphere. I came on a Wednesday morning, and it wasn't too packed to where I couldn't find a seat, but there was a steady flow of people all morning. The drip coffee was great. Would definitely return! read more

Excellent coffee and service. Especially floored with the housemaid syrup. Could've eaten 6 of those breakfast biscuits.

Stopped by when I was in the neighborhood last week and was pleasantly surprised! Very cute setup inside with real plants! It's a fairly good sized coffee shop, with tables and spaces to work or meet up with folks. The shop is located in Oakhurst, in a plaza with pretty ample parking. I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk and a pumpkin maple muffin. Both were really good! The service was good, place was clean and my coffee was ready pretty quickly. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

It's a cute place to enjoy coffee and something light to eat. I enjoyed a caramel iced latte. I do wish there was more options of baked goods though. The staff was very helpful in helping with drink choices. I came for the iced tiramisu drink but it was out of season unfortunately it looked so good in the picture. read more

As expensive as Starbucks but you get less coffee which doesn't even taste as good. Have been here twice and service is always fine, but the coffee is just not worth it. read more

We had a tiramisu iced latte and it was fabulous! We had it with almond milk and half the amount of the sweetness and it was so frothy and delish! Service was just ok Not bad not Good Prices fair for quality of coffee. Definitely a must try! read more

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

I enjoy Night Swim. The coffee is good and they have decent breakfast food options. Plenty of parking in the lot and streets. Their biggest knock is the lack of different sizes for the coffee. read more

This spot is near my home and I want to try a new coffee spot each week. I selected the seasonal latte, Rosy Cheeks: housemade rosemary & black peppercorn syrup, vanilla double shot of espresso, & oatmilk. It was spectacular in every way! I'm excited to try their other seasonal items. I also ordered the savory scone. It was pretty good but I wish it was warmed up, they did not offer to warm it but I could have asked. The inside has a cool layout with a main long community table. The table was not wiped off between customers so there were crumbs along the table. The other furniture selection are modern and comfortable. The huge blank wall is a bit of an eye sore and would be amazing with a mural or some art. The outside patio is beautiful as well. The only thing that stuck out to me was that none of the baristas made an effort to make me feel welcome but I understand maybe something happened or they were having a bad moment. read more

Overall, I had a great vibe at Night Swim! Excellent place to work with plenty of tables and chairs. The service was very good and friendly. I would have given them 5 stars, but the iced caramel latte was not my favorite. The caramel sauce tasted a little off to me. I did have the blueberry muffin which was fantastic. I will go back for sure. read more

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

Came here to get some work done and chose Noght Swim specifically from the google search "cafes with couches." Parking is abundant. There is indoor and outdoor seating - though the outdoor is not covered, so you do get full sunshine. Sunglasses suggested. They do have an area of metal rocking chairs under a cloth awning and wifi does reach outside. At the suggestion of the barista, I ordered their Malabar with steamed milk. They compared it to a sister drink of the golden latte. They have an app to order from (Odeko) which has rewards and many coffee shops in the area use it. They do have some in-house made syrups and source locally as much as possible. Will definitely make this a frequent spot as it's near home. Major perks: - dog friendly - couches - friendly staff - lots of parking - bus stop nearby read more

So glad Night Swim decided to find a home at Oakhurst Commons! We were long overdue for a great coffee shop in that shopping center. I love that Night Swim has a broad range of rolling seasonal items. One of my favorites, the Head in the Clouds matcha latte has now become permanent! It is an iced matcha latte with a house-made rose syrup and oat milk that is mildly sweet. The only downside to this place is that it can be pricey because they charge for flavors in your latte. I adore the avocado toast! read more

Night Swim Coffee - Tiramisu latte and avocado toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love a new coffee place open in the area. First off, the interior is nice. Quant. I can see myself bringing some work here to do for a couple of hours. Great vibes all around. All of the staff are friendly and there to help out. Menu is fairly simple with food (breakfast items) and drinks with some seasonal items. I ordered the breakfast sandwich. I had it plain; nothing added to it. It's simple, but overall it's good. It is quite small. The bun is nice and airy on the inside. Next was the Masala Chai. Very aromatic and with hints of various spices to bring out the flavor of the drink. This is a nice spot for coffee dates and little get togethers. I would recommend this place for morning drink. read more

This was my first time trying Night Swim. I went in right before 9:30 on a Monday and I thought it would be super busy, but I was surprised to see only 1 person ahead of me. It's really cute inside and I wish I could've stayed to do some work (I'll be back for that). I ordered their sweet Matcha latte with oat milk which is a departure from my usual Chai latte. They whipped it up quick and it was delicious. Not too sweet, but not bitter. I'll try the Chai next and they also had a summer menu with a Campfire drink that sounded amazing. read more

Went here for the first time the other day. The shop seems nice, there were lots of customers, and the service was fast. I ordered a brewed coffee to go, and I'm sorry to say the coffee was absolutely vile. I've been drinking coffee for 50 years, and I've had it all over the world. While I enjoy a good cup of coffee, I'm not being a coffee snob here. I will drink gas station coffee. But there was something terribly wrong with this coffee. I suggest for quality control, they should taste each batch they brew. I should have gone back and told them, but I just ended up pouring it out. Taste the brewed coffee before you leave the counter. Can't speak to their espresso based coffees. read more

This is the most incredible coffee I have ever had.I frequent here and never once have the employees nor the coffee disappointed. They are always welcoming and quick with making drinks. The environment is wonderful and they always have a great playlist on. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and to work from my laptop. Coffee was good and so was the sandwich! Nice quiet environment and friendly staff

Massively undersized for a busy Saturday, plenty of need for growth which is exciting. Pour overs aren't offered at this location like the Roastery & Cafe location. The small batch brewer wasn't able to keep up and was just restarting when we made it to the front of the line. The 2 head espresso machine was also indicative of the need to expand to a larger location. The parking lot is also way too small with very tight spaces and every single spot being filled on first pass through the lot, thankfully a car left on our second trip through the lot. I love the seating area and their beans and food offerings are impressive. read more

Night Swim Coffee - Cold brew with Oat Milk and Maple Cardamom (msp?) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Love this place. Plenty of seating, lots of light, and a nice menu of food and drink. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I stick to chai or hot chocolate, both of which are delicious and never overly sweet. The breakfast sandwich is tasty--perhaps small to some, but a perfect option for when I'm hanging out there and feeling a little hungry. I appreciate that the music is never too loud and there's lots of seating. A cool spot that I enjoy stopping in for work or to just grab a drink to go! read more
