The space itself has a really cool industrial vibe and offers lots of seating both inside and outside, making it a great spot to hang out or get some work done. Their menu has a lot of great options, including seasonal drinks. I tried the Split Decision latte and loved that it wasn't overly sweet, it had a great balance of flavor. The breakfast burrito was also fantastic and made for a really satisfying meal. Overall, a great coffee shop with a welcoming atmosphere, good food, and well-crafted drinks.

Recently I went for a meeting and tried their avo toast and yogurt bowl. Both were delicious and different. As simple as avo toast seems...a good amount of places don't get it right. But Platform is now my fav avo toast in the city. The bread was crunchy but not too hard and everything was so flavorful and paired well. The avocado was perfect too! The yogurt bowl was simple yet delish!!! On another trip I tried one of their matcha drinks and really enjoyed it too. I never have an issue with parking or finding a spot to sit.

They have great reviews here, so maybe I came in on a bad day, but I'll never be back. I'll stick with Summit at Wilmore.

The atmosphere was nice, it has the "work on your laptop or catch up with friends" cafe vibe. Somewhere you can hang for several hours and sip and coffee as you work/talk. I don't think I was the target demographic for this cafe sadly. I ordered a BE&C on a bagel. I originally had planned to go to a more "bagel-focused" shop, but they were closed. That's where I feel I was not the target demographic; I was looking to just order a bagel on my morning commute. I should have noticed the atmosphere/vibe of the cafe and realized that this was not going to be fast. It ended up taking over 30 minutes from the time I paid to the time I got my food (genuinely, I looked at the time my credit card was swiped and compared it to the time it was when I got my food). Now, I will say, if I had ordered coffee and brought a book, the wait probably wouldn't have been too much of a bother. The staff was really friendly, and the bathrooms were also very clean! The bagel was not my favorite bagel, but it was on par for a non-bagel-focused coffee shop. It wasn't bad by any means, but I would not order it if you were wanting "real" bagel. Edit: owner made a good point regarding the wait and was correct that I did not notice the disclaimer regarding the wait! I updated the rating to reflect my newer perspective.

Matcha latte and Cronut…read more Coco and the Director is my go-to coffee stop in Uptown--especially when I'm craving a cronut. The cronuts are the real star here. They sell out quickly, so the move is to get there early and grab one while it's still warm. Trust me, if you're going to get one, get two. The café sits inside the lobby level of the Charlotte Marriott City Center, which makes it easy to access if you're already walking around Uptown. If you're doing a quick drive-by, just be friendly with the valet--tip them and pop inside to grab your coffee and pastry. They offer a full coffee program with plenty of alternative milk options (oat milk is my current go-to). I also appreciate the little details like turbinado sugar, bamboo stir sticks, and recyclable cups, which give the place a sustainable touch. The space itself is really stylish and comfortable. There's even a small amphitheater-style seating area, making it a cool spot to hang out, meet friends, or get some work done for a while. Insider tip: Go early for the cronuts--they disappear fast. Overall, it's a fun Uptown café with great coffee, a beautiful space to work or relax, and one of the best cronut stops in the area.

Not even one coffee pic?!??

I headed here straight from the airport on a Monday afternoon and found exactly the kind of focused environment I was looking for. The layout is well-designed, offering a mix of comfortable chairs, bench seating, and even a small conference table tucked away in a nook for more private coordination. For those of us living off our laptops, there is plenty of power available, and the overall volume remained low and professional throughout my stay. As for the drink, they nailed my order--a sugar-free vanilla iced coffee that was prepared perfectly. If you are looking for a low-key, productive space with a local feel rather than a corporate office vibe, this is a solid choice. Service was fast and friendly.
