    Iced Pistachio
    Chasity A.

    This was my first visit, and I must say I was very pleased with my pistachio latte. It was delicious! I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to others.

    Turkish coffee
    Rose G.

    First off, the Turkish coffee is amazing! Never burnt, which is my biggest complaint at some of the other coffee places nearby. But not here! It's fresh, made to order, and a huge serving. I don't even drink the whole pot because that's just too much caffeine for me lol. I also really loved the savory pastries they have, very complimentary to their coffee. The service is very kind and they give you a buzzer to easily come pick up your order when it's ready. The ambiance was great the last time I went in. They had wifi available if I needed it, but it wasn't overpacked so I could work a bit when I first came in and then was able to still hear my friend when she came over. It has nicely spaced tables so you aren't as boxed in as you are in some of the other coffee places in this area. Overall, my favorite place to grab a Turkish coffee in Charlotte. Yummy coffee, nicely spaced tables, free wifi, good service, and not overly packed. My go-to coffee spot in Plaza Midwood!

    Finally I got to try it. This little place is beautiful. There's so much seating in the back if you can't find one in the front. The staff are super friendly and attentive and it's just nice. Very clean and professional inside. I heard about the fruit desserts and wanted to stop in and try. Luckily I walked in when they were bringing in a new batch and they were so kind to grab me a mango and banana. I got a Dubai cheesecake as well. I also got a mocha coffee. I wasn't a fan of the fruit desserts but the visual was great. The Dubai cheesecake was very good as well. I also like the coffee and would go back just for that. I paid 50$ for the 4 items. So it was a bit pricey but I think for the value it's worth the treat and flavor. I would absolutely go back.

    Decaf Yemeni latte, Yemeni chocolate
    Stasj T.

    Coffee enthusiasts ASSEMBLE!!! Made the mistake of NOT coming here to do work though CORRECTED that mistake by closing down the night here. Lovely atmosphere, and love learning about coffee. I got the Yemeni chocolate (stuffed with kanafe, surprise!) and a decaf Yemeni latte because I needed to sleep in a couple of hours. Neither disappointed! They also roast in house, so I brought back a 1/2 lb bag. Owner told me to wait a day or so, since they had just roasted the beans the night before (allows beans to rest and the flavors to come out). When I brewed them with my Fellow back home Make this a definite stop!

    This business share building with other businesses so just be sure you can find their entrance. The parking is very limited so you may have to park further away if it's busy. The pastries are good. I got the pistachio milk cake but felt like it's too milky. My friend got the mocha cake and she love it. I got brown sugar latte but it wasn't sure enough. She got the caramel macchiato and liked it. I do love the space that's for sure. It's so so so much bigger than haraz. Love that when it's busy, you can find seating as opposed to Haraz, it makes you feel like you don't even want to stay when you see how busy it is inside. I would come here again. Would love to try their other pastries.

    This is an interesting new Yemen style coffee house. I ordered a chai tea latte. It had such interesting flavor! Unlike any chai I've had. My husband got a latte of some sort and it also had a unique flavor going on. They both tasted good and really fresh! Just totally different flavors than we are used to. I would go back and try more things. Keep in mind they don't really have food, just a pastry case full of desserts I've never heard of before. Try it out and see what you think!

    Pistachio Latte (iced) with oat milk
    London E.

    Everytime I go, the coffee is consistently excellent. I love the pistachio latte with oat-milk. The atmosphere is nice and situated on a very cute side street lined with homes and small businesses. The staff is always helpful and professional and make sure your orders are just right. I went once and accidentally got the wrong order- I called and they literally remade the whole thing and replaced the entire order with no issue. It's a pleasure to go to local places that have quality and a great atmosphere. If you want to see more of my thoughts, I've posted on my TikTok(Londonlovie) my review and some of my favorite items. I'd say it's my top 5 coffee shops in CLT.

    Best Matcha Latte that I've ever had. Usually Matcha has some sort of after taste thing that I don't vibe with, but this one didn't at all. We didn't like the pastry selection so we walked to Haraz for that, but I definitely like the matcha better here. The ambiance is also bigger than Haraz and not as crowded. Its a nice vibe!

    This is really a nice coffee shop to work at when you want to get out of the house. They have an amazing strawberry matcha that is really good! The service here was friendly and willing to suggest good food items as well! I highly recommend coming early! It's gets packed in the AM.

    Pastries: they toast them for you but ask them to watch since this time came out a little burnt
    Emizz Z.

    One of my fav spot back in NYC also came to Charlotte! Their chai is so good. Guess now Plaza area has two spots, hope they open more The space is large, good for groups.

    Hazelnut dessert
    Juliana D.

    Nice and spacious coffee shop in plaza Midwood. I loved how they had lots of seating inside and outside. The decor is very nice as well. I got the hazelnut dessert and it was good but it's was expensive for the size. It was pretty small. I also would have liked it to have more hazelnut flavor. I would like to come back and try their coffee another time.

    Brown sugar latte
    Elizabeth D.

    Beyond excited to have this unique new spot in the neighborhood! We came in this afternoon for drinks and a snack and were blown away by everything we tried. First of all, the space is beautiful - the high ceilings combine with stone and wood accents to make for an airy, inviting atmosphere. The staff couldn't be nicer - we decided to try the pistachio and brown sugar lattes (both iced) with the honeycomb pastry. I truly don't think I have ever tasted anything quite as good as that pistachio latte. We both couldn't get over that one! The brown sugar latte was also fantastic - I tasted lots of warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg - and the honeycomb came out warm and drizzled with honey... holy moly. Unbelievable. The bread reminded me of a yeast roll, and several pockets of it had a cream cheese mixture that's tartness was perfectly balanced with the sweet honey. We already can't wait to come back. Such an incredible new addition to Plaza Midwood!

    Pink Dragon Frappe
    Garland M.

    Not much of a coffee drinker but my wife enjoyed their Yemen coffee, and I enjoyed the tea. We came here to try their new pink dragon frappe which was delicious. It was more like a milkshake. We also got a fruit tea and strawberry matcha tea which were all good. This is located in the Plaza Midwood area of Charlotte so have to find street parking. The interior decor is really nice. It feels really upscale inside. The patio is pretty big and shaded which is where we decided to sit since it wasn't too hot the morning we went. The staff is also super helpful with helping you decide and describe the items on their menu. A nice spot to hang out grab a few delicious drinks, work, or even just chat.

I was a fan then and I'm still a fan now…read more I have a serious sweet tooth so I love that this dessert bar offers a variety of sweets for different pallets from the drinks to the cheesecakes and the cakes, I can always find something that I like. On this particular visit, I sat on the patio, which I had never done before, but it was nice and quiet and very relaxing on a Sunday evening. I ordered the cheesecake and it was garnished with caramel popcorn, which added a nice touch to look at, but the popcorn was stale so I don't really think it was necessary, but it did make the plate look pretty. The cheesecake was delicious. Couldn't finish it all, but I took it home and finished it the next day. Our server was great. She was very attentive, friendly, and gave good suggestions.

But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.

Flavorful, with both very savory and yet light ingredients which made it perfect for an entree. Not too dense but also filling enough for the wait until dinner. Then the salmon a la plancha. The salmon was cooked to perfection and not overdone, which is unfortunately often the case. The perfect portion along with the tomatoes and kale to keep it rich, but still somehow light. Ended the night with their signature (and recommended) le citron lemon dessert which was to die for. The waitress also brought me some madelines with an adorable little personalized message to complement my little mom's solo night out. 10 out of 10 and certainly can't wait to come again!

Since we were only running in and out, we just parked a block ahead on the street.
