I can't remember exactly what my tea was called but it was SO good!! I believe it's a seasonal. Something similar to iced apple ginger spiced chai. The service was pretty quick for how busy it was. I'm giving a 4/5 because I wouldn't necessarily come here to study or read a book. It's definitely more of a chatty, crowded, come with friends spot. Super crowded and a little overwhelming, which makes sense since there are a bunch of shops and restaurants around here. read more

Not Just Coffee - Atherton Mill - Apple ginger spiced chai tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I been here a few times and the staff is just eh. I've asked a few questions and it doesn't seem like they are happy to help! I'll give the service a pass because everytime I go here the coffee is always good, no complaints about milk ratio, sweetness, etc it's good every time! I would give the food especially the breakfast sandwich a 7/10. The breakfast sandwich is rather small and it's $7 or $8. It's yummy but it's not very filling. It's easy to get to especially with how crazy south end can get! Lots of parking available most of the time but it's also very easy to walk to and there isn't normally a line even early in the morning. If there is it's normally just a few people and your coffee is ready in 10 mins or less! read more

Located in the Atherton Mill shopping mall, Not Just Coffee serves a wide selection of specialty coffees and teas made to your liking. I tried one of their seasonal offerings, the Fall Spice Latte, which had warm notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and pumpkin, perfectly capturing the flavors of fall. While it wasn't particularly memorable, it was still a good latte. I just wish the price wasn't so steep for a regular-sized coffee (over $8). read more

Yet another fantastic cafe in Charlotte! If you're shopping you should stop by! All house made syrups as well as their house made seasonal syrups. I ordered the vanilla iced latte and my mom and sister ordered toasted marshmallow lattes. 10/10 flavor. Lots of seating and you can shop around the local shops while you drink! The people who worked there were friendly! The drinks and food took alittle longer with not a lot of people there but overall it was good! read more

Came on a Sunday morning and this place was busy, however, service was quick. I ordered the ginger chai and a BEC which came out to about $15.. which was a little pricey given the small size of the sandwich. The chai was great- served hot and spicy with big tastes of ginger. The sandwich had thick slices of bacon and was a good size for a mid morning snack (but may not fill you up if you're counting on it solely for breakfast). There are some tables outside in the shade. This place is conveniently located so you can grab your drink/eats and walk along the rail trail. read more

Amazing coffee and breakfast items! My favorite is trying their seasonal lattes, so yummy!

Eh. I'm not sure why the line was so long here, probably because of where it's located in Southend. I've had far better coffee in other locations around the city. I tried the peanut butter and jelly latte, and it was OK but lacked flavor. For almost $8 I guess I expect more..... read more

I love coming here to grab an iced latte. The line can definitely get long on the weekends but they keep it moving. Make sure to look at their seasonal drinks- their gingerbread maple bourbon latte is my favorite drink EVER! *note: they do not allow dogs inside of the coffee shop so make sure you have a companion to stay with your furry friend outside! read more

Stumbled into this coffee shop while I was doing some window shopping on a Thursday afternoon. I loved the spacious setup and there were a few options for seating, so I didn't feel cramped. To be honest, I wasn't expecting too much from this spot, but it actually exceeded my expectations. The strawberry matcha was a real treat. The milk tasted like the strawberry Nesquik milk that was super popular in the early 2000s and it was a nice contrast to the matcha. If you like a traditional, earthy, matcha with tons of umami, it might not be your bag, but I was a fan. I also appreciated that the matcha was stored and prepped properly. No oxidizing matcha in glass containers over here. Service was quick and informative. Happy I stopped by. read more

I frequent this location, especially now that the Church St location is closed. It gets very busy I've even arrived around 7 am after a workout class and the people were streaming in! They have a separate kitchen tucked away and there's some additional seating in that area, such a chill space. I am a huge fan of the OG avocado toast. It's the best I've had from any restaurant, my opinion. Keeps me coming back for more when I don't have the ingredients to make it at home. I love thro coffee, matcha and lattes also. I'm definitely a repeat customer. read more

We stopped at Not Just Coffee for a quick bite before heading out on a hike. The biscuit, egg, and bacon breakfast sandwich was one of the best breakfasts I've had lately and the seasonal drink options were great. The service is great and the ambiance is similar to a food hall or covered market. We'll definitely be back for more during our next visit to Charlotte. read more

This is one of my favorite coffees in Charlotte specifically the Dolly Latte which is a blueberry vanilla latte. I get mine with Oatmilk and sweetened bit more it is soooo delicious and creamy. Price point is a little high but the quality and taste of coffee is amazing! The smoked salmon toast is my go to it's soo flavorful and filling. I personally like to get my lox toasted in the oven and it comes out perfect it has chive cream cheese on the toast with the fresh lemon amazing! read more

I had 10 minutes to kill before Warby Parker opened so I stopped by to grab a matcha latte. Cute coffee spot in South End with food, seating for remote working, etc. price is on par with other coffee spots around Charlotte. The cashier answered all my questions about the matcha latte (sweetness and caffeine levels) and didn't make me feel rushed. My order came out in about 3 minutes and it was good! Parking at Atherton Mills can be difficult if you go at peak times. Luckily I found a spot in the parking deck right before noon on a Sunday. read more

Stopped by here after getting my permanent jewelry fixed, which was really convenient and easy access. They have menu options from coffees, teas, and some food jeans, but no non-caffeinated drinks (minus hot chocolate). I ordered an iced americano and an iced chai latte, which came to a total of $10. They don't take cash btw. Drinks didn't take too long, and definitely would stop by again. Just wish they had some non-caffeinated drinks other than hot cocoa. read more

Came here w/ a friend after a Yelp search. We were on foot so limited choices, but this place popped up and looked great. We needed some good coffee. We ordered their Fall Seasonal Coffee drink which had an array of nice savory spices, and with Oat Milk. I got a French Vanilla Latte w/ Oat milk. Both of our coffee drinks were very good, especially the Fall Seasonal Coffee drink - wow - had really good flavor and was very smooth. Should have gotten another one to go. Service here was meh. Kinda straight-forward business like and no smiles on this day. Not sure if it was due to the holiday stress but they were not too busy. Had they been more friendlier - and also have some sugar free syrup options - I would have put this at a 5-star review. But don't let that deter you - I would go back for that Fall Seasonal Coffee drink for sure. read more

Very nice ambiance but not enough seating given its size and clear number of customers. Unsure how many outlets there are, but a lot of the people sitting were doing work of some sort. I like that there's food, not just pastries and coffee. read more

Interesting location and vibe. Kind of a yuppie type place with great coffee. A friendly young woman walked in with a dog on a leash and I asked, "Is that a French Bulldog?" She responded, "I don't know, I'll just fostering the dog." Very friendly exchange and a friendly dog. An exchange that let me know she was more than a simple dog owner. Our order came and I had a cappuccino and split a chocolate croissant with my wife. Both were excellent. I really, really enjoyed my cappuccino. If I'm in the area again, I'll be back! read more

10/10-no notes! this coffee shop absolutely nails it: the atmosphere is cozy and cute, with a fun vibe that makes you want to linger. coffee is consistently perfect, and their rotating seasonal menu keeps things interesting. i tried the "O le Mole" cappuccino with agave and cayenne. it's hot, balanced, not too sweet or spicy. if you're looking for a new favorite spot, this is it! read more

I love going to Not Just Coffee when I'm in the Atherton area. Their coffee is solid, and the house made syrups are delicious. Don't miss out on getting caramel syrup in your drink. They also have an excellent matcha lemonade. I like the breezy, industrial space a lot. While it doesn't have a lot of tables, it's a great and pretty quiet place to have coffee with a friend if you can find a spot. read more

The menu doesn't have an extensive amount of options, but some decent staples. The food pick up is in a different area than the coffee pickup which I wasn't familiar with and no one tells you when ordering. The lighting is really nice with skylights and there were plenty of tables when I went if you want to chill a bit. The coffee was nice but nothing really special. I got bacon and egg sandwich. The sandwich had a mix of sweet and savory, but it was filling. It's priced higher than a lot of restaurants, so it's not really a quick grab and go option. Overall, the space is the top selling point. I liked repurposed buildings with plenty of space, but the offerings are a bit of a splurge. read more

Love this coffee shop, although it can be interesting to find. To eh always have a seasonal latte which they make the syrup for, my favorite to date is the strawberry matcha latte but this past time I had a pistachio latte and you could even taste the small bits of pistachios in the latte. I also tried the almond croissant and it was yummy, flavorful, buttery, and flaky. read more

Visited here for the first time today. It has a very pleasant coffee house/Cafe vibe. It's a good place to study . I noticed several places to plug your device. Also, the music was not on too loud which I appreciated. I have been to a few places lately where the music was on so loud it was difficult to have a conversation. Thankfully that was not the case here. I ordered the lavender mocha which was really good. We also ordered the Quiche, which came with a nice salad, both were very delicious. Just as an fyi , the food orders come out at a different location than the drink orders and you pick it up yourself. The only thing is we had to wait quite awhile for the Quiche to be prepared. While it was very tasty, the presentation could have been better. I would have preferred it to be on a washable reusable plate rather than a card board box. It's located in a very nice area with lots of eclectic fashionable shops to check out. I would definitely come here again.

Nice little morning spot to drop in for a quick morning Java in Atherton Mill. In and out in about 7 minutes. Coffee was nothing spectacular but it was definitely tasty and it got the job done. $6.50 for a oat milk latte - value is average. Would tell people about it in the future if they need a quick caffeine fix! read more

I have been to Atherton Mill in South End dozens of times but have yet to come across this coffee spot until last week.. but I am so glad I did! It's hidden inside the shops near Living Kitchen, so lots of parking outside! I only stopped in for national hot chocolate day to grab a warm drink but ended up working for a bit due to the calm atmosphere, with lots of natural light and small tables. I will definitely be going back to try one of their iced coffees or baked goods, but if nothing else.. that hot chocolate was so deliciously sweet and brought me right back to my childhood! I loved it! read more

Best coffee! I got a cappuccino and it was so good! Will definitely go back but hate the parking there so may plan on walking next time

I was feeling a little claustrophobic this morning and needed to get out for a bit. Atherton Mill isn't too far from home so here we are. First stop, Not Just Coffee which I am familiar with following visits to their Charlotte locations at Providence https://www.yelp.com/biz/not-just-coffee-providence-charlotte?hrid=GBIiLo_3WMLXZ7Rr46rJcg, Packard Place https://www.yelp.com/biz/not-just-coffee-packard-place-charlotte-3, Seventh Street Public Market https://www.yelp.com/biz/not-just-coffee-7th-street-charlotte-4?hrid=YPigsuCz6BSdvxbN6czmrg and Jay Street https://www.yelp.com/biz/not-just-coffee-jay-street-charlotte-2?hrid=z97LOtNrK6GSmeCTyJXHZA. This shop is a long counter in a large open space that has amazing lighting, lots of tables and a bar area where I sat with the laptop until it ran out of charge. There are power outlets all about and they have a free wifi. This is a nice spot and the music was at a comfortable level that wasn't disturbing. Their espresso machine was surprisingly quiet. Coffee? I had a short cortado which is a small cup that is half espresso and half steamed (not foamed) milk. You can really taste the coffee in this and it was the delicious accompaniment I wanted with my internet surfing and review writing. Masks are still required in North Carolina and all the staff were wearing theirs. Most of the customers were, too. There is a decent amount of parking for Atherton Mill but you may be challenged on a busy weekend evening. [Review 16427 overall - 3150 in North Carolina - 1935 of 2021.] read more

One of my favorite coffee places in Charlotte is Not just coffee. This location is right near the light rail and is a great place to stop before going on a walk on the rail trail.

Point of View: - Got into North Carolina and needed a place to wait for a while for some friends to arrive on a later flight. The airport was too cold and busy, so decided on a coffee place. I needed something not too far via Uber (about 15 minutes), not too busy and comfortable. Using Maps and looking at Yelp photos, this place resonated with me. The place is big and offers variety in terms of seating (so, couches, work desks and table combos for eating) Looks nice (so, welcoming but not in a too homey type of way...so you can still be productive) There is a sticker on the door that says CARD ONLY so glad I had my card on me. Staff was amazing, especially Joe, Joe was super open to and unbothered by all my questions and concerns , which is great for customer service (see his name on receipt in photo lol..thanks Joe!) What I would suggest: 1. Have staff wipe down tables more often 2. Bring food AND Coffee to table (you have to go to get your own coffee, but they bring your food to the table based on the number given) 3. Combine the Lox and Avocado Toast for a phenomenal new menu item (most people were adding smoked salmon to avocado toast anyway..I say add a Lox-Cado option but name it something more catchy lol) read more

The coffee, it's good. The food, actually quite good. But the reason I have to give this place one star is because the employees actively hate their own customers. It's one of the strangest things I've ever seen. I have been going to this place EVERY day for the past YEAR. I know all the names of all the baristas. None of them know mine. I show up at the exact same time each day, and order virtually the exact same thing each morning. Often, I will make a second trip around lunch for the follow-up hit of coffee. I've spent thousands with these people - and tipped generously. Yet, each time I walk in, they have no idea who I am. "What do you want?" they ask in a rude tone each time I visit. "Good morning," I begin with a smile in an ill fated attempt to make the conversation better. They don't care. I make my order and it is always followed by the question, "Name?" I'm here every day? I make the same request every day? I live across the street and am one of your best, if not the best, customer you have. Nope, they can't be bothered to remember a name. So I tell them my name and its a 50/50 gamble they get it right. I normally get "Andrew", "Conner", I've gotten "Hubub" and even "Collin". None of these are my name. My name is HUNTER. Every day, its the same name - I haven't changed it. It's not loud, its 8:15am. It's simply that they couldn't care less. Most of the time they are on their phones, and have a distain towards each and every person who patron's the business. At least, in that regard, I might not be unique. Forbid they mess up your order and you call them out on it. When you pay these prices for coffee and a small sandwich, it better be what you ordered. I very politely bring it to their attention, and the response is always a shrug and they wait for you to ask for the fix. If you ask for the fix, there is ALWAYS an eye roll and they make it feel like this is your fault. "Hi, it was an iced coffee - thank you." Shrug. "Could we... make it iced?" Eye roll, takes coffee and acts like I have inconvenienced them. Same story every time. Genuinely, it's sad. I wanted to love this place - and the coffee is good and the food is actually quite good. But honestly, after a YEAR of coming here and being treated, not even as a stranger, but as nothing - worthless and unworthy of their time, I cannot endorse this business. I'm done with Not Just Coffee. I'll be going to Bitty and Beau's. The coffee is not nearly as good. The food is non-existent, but at least they know my name and they are excited to serve the customer - in contrast to the pretentious, rude, and honestly unfriendly staff at Not Just Coffee. It pains me to write this review - but I'm done. You've lost your BEST customer. After spending THOUSANDS with you, BRINING you business, and trying my best to be kind and GENEROUS to an unappreciative staff, I have now resolved to never return. Maybe I'll check out J-street while I'm over there. But as for this location - good bye. You don't deserve me, my money, my time, or frankly anyone else's. read more

Parking - 5/5 Ambiance - 3/5 Quality of drink - 4.5/5 Price of drink - 4/5 Parking and location were perfect. Not Just Coffee is right in Atherton Mill where there is plenty of free parking (first floor is usually crowded, but second floor is always available). The ambiance of the place was just okay. It wasn't very decorated and felt very tight. Think of it more looking like a station in the middle of a mall, with seating around. Price was standard, and flavor was standard. The place definitely seems like a place people go to pick up coffee and walk around the area, versus spend time in the place to spend time with a friend. read more

This was my first time trying this coffeeshop. I know that they have a few locations, I tried the Atherton Mill location. I must say, I'm impressed! I ordered their seasonal Butterscotch Sage latte. It was DELICIOUS!! I would definitely recommend. The interior was very nice. I love the decor, it was an industrial kind of style. The exposed brick, pipes and vents gave it a nice casual style. The plants give a nice touch! There's a wall with random words, not sure of the origin but it was super cool (photo attached). The noise level was low with your average conversations and clicking of eating utensils. There were plenty of seats. The Atherton Mill location has free parking on site. It's in a great location with some other businesses. If you're considering visiting this business... GO! read more

I ordered food as well and went for the BLTA, delicious! I have been getting coffee here everyday since! SO GOOD!! Everyone working here is also extremely polite and patient. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

I love this location of Not Just Coffee but the parking is always very difficult to find. There's a bunch of retail shops in this area so there's always people trying to find parking.
