    My friend and I tried this place out while visiting Charlotte. It had a room that you could rent out for business uses. I got a matcha latte with ube....it was delicious! I also got the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and enjoyed every bite. My friend got the avocado toast, and devoured it! I loved that this coffee shop had hot food items instead of just pastries.

    My baby and I were in the area and decided to stop by Platform coffee. I had been here before with my best friend, so this was my 2nd time visiting. The ambiance is everything, such a nice clean space. The noise level was at a medium, so to me not an ideal place to work, but there were definitely people there working on their lap tops. We were greeted right away, and they guy that took our order was really nice. I ordered a breakfast burrito and an iced oatmilk chai, and a bacon egg and cheese crossaint with a tropical smoothie for my son. Our food didn't take too long to come out, service was quick! I had been hearing that they had the best breakfast burrito in Charlotte, but I honestly didn't care for the burrito, they used to much of whatever sauce they use in it (maybe a chipotle mayo sauce), and that's all I could taste. It had avocado, sausage, egg and cheese, but all I tasted was that sauce.. My chai was nice, my son really enjoyed his breakfast sandwich and his smoothie. I was able to taste his smoothie and it was super tasty. Platform is always a vibe, and we'll be back for sure!

    Can I get a hallelujah for having gluten free bread for the breakfast sammies?! This place is so gorgeous inside, and the seating areas are cute and spacious. The sweet girl taking my coffee order was very efficient and friendly, and my food and drink were prepared quickly and accurately! I could totally see this being a great WFH spot due to the amount of space available and fast WiFi, but the music/talking made the space a little noisier than I'd care for if I were reading or working.

    I'm not sure what Ube is, but it is fantastic. You've got to try the moonlight drink. Get it hot, get it iced, just get it. I got it hot and it was so tasty. I went to the TX conference and even though the place was packed they were moving right along like a well oiled machine. They also have a fantastic breakfast burrito that I will be coming back for

    This place is great. I visited on a Wednesday while in the area for an event and it was the perfect lunch/ coffee break spot. I really enjoyed my steak wrap and I was able to add a fried egg for added protein. I also had an iced matcha with oat milk and a pump of vanilla syrup. It was such a fun time. My colleagues had a tropical smoothie and a ube matcha latte. Overall the service here was great. It was also pretty buzzing with remote workers.

    Breakfast burrito with drip coffee

    We came early in the morning and it was a good way to start off the day! We were one of the first people there but they kept having people steadily come through as we were enjoying our breakfast. I'd recommend coming for a coffee and to grab a bite. We got a basic drip coffee, which was strong and also the breakfast burrito, which was so flavorful and delicious! Service is quick. The space is very clean and spacious.

    Super cute inside with plenty of seating. Lots of meet ups, people working. Didn't feel overly noisy, was able to be productive and work. Latte was wonderful and bacon egg and cheese croissant was SO good. If I was a local this would absolutely be my spot.

    Every time I come here I am impressed, but this took the cake. I came around 12 on Valentines Day and they were SLAMMED! I saw a Neopolitan latte advertised and I really wanted to try so I decided to stick it out- Not only was the staff cool under pressure, but my food came out in less than 5 mins - croissant hot and crusty, chicken salad as delicious as ever. The drink took a little longer but they have an Marzocco machine so hand pulling all the shots takes more time than an automatic machine like Eversys (I think the product is worth the labor). The latte was scrumptious and so was my food. Staff made this busy experience enjoyable. Vibes here never fail.

    Avocado toast, bacon, & hashbrowns
    Angie P.

    I love, love, love Platform! Every time I go, I get the same wonderful service, same delicious food, & coffee. That avocado toast is food art! And the bacon & hash browns are always cooked to perfection. Quick service, even when they're busy. The ambiance is top tier, too! Only downside is the parking situation. Prices are reasonable.

    Lovely spot for breakfast or lunch! Great coffee and a menu with so many tasty options. Highly recommend the ceasar salad or honey and cinnamon latte. Good service and atmosphere too.

    Avocado Toast

    Searched for a coffee place with a decent menu size for breakfast and this was definitely the spot! I'm not a big coffee fan so I got the smoothie which wasn't on the menu but available for sale and it tasted super fresh and not too sweet. My boyfriend on the other hand got the latte and he loved it but wish it was hotter. For breakfast, I got the avocado toast and it was life changing and probably worth the $10 with all of the different toppings they put on it. There are lots of seating options inside and outside and a decent amount of parking which is great. They have a water station to grab and go which I appreciated it all. Looking forward to coming here again!

    What a cute spot - perfect for coffee, lighter breakfast and lunch fare and remote working. I enjoyed my experience at Platform coffee. It's very chill, the employees were super nice and most importantly the coffee is solid. They even sell freshly roasted coffee beans. They also offer a few tea options if coffee isn't your thing. The fruit in my yogurt bowl was fresh - no premade anything or frozen fruit. I'll likely return for remote working or for grabbing coffee with friends. There is an outdoor area that is dog friendly - but just a heads up the pups cannot come inside the shop.

    I hadn't intended to eat in a good pavilion today, but we ended up here. I landed on Famous…read moreHarriett's Hamburger Sandwiches, not expecting much. It was an excellent burger. Sometimes simple of the way to go. Lettuce, American Cheese, tomatoes, crinkled pickles, onions, and their "good good sauce." This all came together with the 100% premium angus beef (antibiotic and hormone free) smash-burgers perfectly cooked. The fried were very good, nicely crispy, but not overdone. Service was friendly and very quick. I highly recommend this place if you want a great burger.

    Located inside the lively Optimist Hall, Harriet's Hamburgers is a great stop if you're craving a…read moresimple, well-executed smash burger. Optimist Hall itself is a very food-centric, upscale food hall with a ton of vendors, so the atmosphere is energetic and fun. Seating can be a little challenging during peak dinner hours since so many people are grabbing food from different spots, but when the weather is nice there's plenty of outdoor seating. Harriet's keeps their burger formula refreshingly simple. It's a classic smash burger done right--made to order with a straightforward menu that doesn't overcomplicate things. There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly, and the burgers come out hot and fresh. One of the best parts of eating here is the flexibility of the food hall experience. While you're waiting, you can grab a craft beer, a glass of wine, or even browse for dessert from one of the other vendors. Insider tip: Come with a group if you can. It's a great place to share fries and let everyone explore different vendors around the hall. Parking is fairly easy with the nearby garage, which makes the whole experience even more convenient. Overall, Harriet's is a fun, delicious stop for a smash burger, especially if you're already enjoying the energy of Optimist Hall.

    As a West Coast transplant now living in Charlotte, I have very specific standards when it comes to…read moreburgers. For me, the gold standard isn't fancy -- it's balance. Think that perfect meat-cheese-bread ratio you get at an In-N-Out: not too big, not too messy, not dripping everywhere, but still juicy and satisfying. A burger you can actually pick up and enjoy without resorting to a knife and fork like George Costanza. That's why I appreciate Ace No. 3. Their menu is refreshingly simple -- burgers, fries, shakes -- and that simplicity tells me they know exactly what they do well. Everything is made to order, and the consistency shows. The Ace burger is my go-to, and it delivers every time. The shoestring fries are excellent, and the sweet potato tots are another favorite. I've also treated myself to a milkshake here and there, and they're worth it. Fun bonus: they offer "boozy shakes" for adults, which adds a playful twist -- just note they have to be enjoyed on site. They also keep a short, rotating list of beers, which I appreciate. It's curated, not overwhelming. One thing I noticed recently -- and as a fellow marketer, I have to applaud this -- is their milkshake happy hour from 2-4 PM. That's a smart strategy to drive traffic during slower hours between lunch and dinner. Simple, effective, and well executed. A few practical notes: Parking can be a little tight because the lot behind the restaurant is small, but if you go during off-peak hours or order ahead for pickup, it's manageable. The Belmont neighborhood location is easy to get in and out of, and while it's not a high-traffic pedestrian area, that can actually work in your favor. Bottom line: As someone who grew up with West Coast burger culture, this is the closest I've found in Charlotte to that classic, satisfying bite -- even if it costs a bit more than In-N-Out. The quality and execution make it worth it. Get out there, eat well, be curious -- and follow me as I continue eating my way through Charlotte.

    The sauce and the meat are insanely good! I personally think it beats Five Guys to make a…read morecomparison. The fries are crispy like Rally's style almost. The onion rings are okay. I really enjoyed though. Staff does the functional, Harriet's Burgers the service is more exceptional. Lastly place was relatively clean.
