I got a curry chicken croissant and my sister got a tuna one. Cost vs sandwich is middle of the road In my opinion the tuna was better than the chicken curry - the tuna as well as the curry was cold in the center but near the edges was warm. Not sure if it was supposed to be warm but probably would have been better that way. If I come back it would be to try out all the sweets and maybe a different style of coffee. The lavender latte and hazelnut lattes were ok. The coffee was not that strong

This place was okay. The coffee was decent, but nothing to rave about. We also ordered the ham and…read morecheese croissants which were pretty good. It's a basic croissant with grocery store ham and cheese and in my opinion a bit over priced for a flat sandwich. Overall the place was alright.

They may have been a tad overstaffed today with soooo many behind the counter. It's small and quaint so on a really cold or hot day, I don't there would be any where to sit. It was very cutely decorated for Christmas. I love holiday drinks and wanted to veer away from my traditional peppermint anything so I got a pecan macchiato. It's was "ok"...not as pecan-y flavorful as I wanted. One suggestion... have ceramic mugs for orders enjoyed here.

My daughter introduced me to the Uptown Tea Shop in Waxhaw a couple of months ago by buying some…read moreloose leaf tea for me. It wasn't until yesterday that I went to the shop with her to see for myself. From the outside, you see a house and there are three shops inside. The Uptown Tea Shop is in a medium size bedroom which has been converted to a little store. Here against the walls are nearly every flavor and types of loose leaf teas you can imagine. I typically like herbal teas and caffeine free teas and finding something new was fairly easy. There are also tea accessories such as canisters to keep your teas fresh. The prices I found to be inline with the quality of the teas. The customer service associate was polite, helpful and welcoming; needless to say I will be supporting this small business in the future.

I heard later in the afternoon they have live music and a lot more of a vibe, but honestly it was perfect for my friends and me. They have fishing, a park for kids, games, animals, food, picnic tables, and lots of open space to run around. Very family-oriented and such a nice outdoor experience. We really don't have many places like this in Miami, so I genuinely enjoyed myself. I didn't try the lemonade this time, but I did get an iced coffee and it was delicious. Next time I'm trying the lemonade, it comes in these mini buckets and looked super refreshing with a bunch of flavor options. If I'm not mistaken, parking was free (maybe because it was Sunday), and if you plan to fish, you do need to get a wristband and pay. Don't try to sneak around it because they will come find you pay your dues ;)

I've been visiting for the last 2 years, and recently, there seems to have been an ownership change. I assure you, they still serve up the same delicious high-qaulity baked goods. It's always an amazing customer experience and we end up picking up way too many pastries! The spinach pastry, as well as the strawberry and cheese are highly recommended. Flaky, crusty, perfection. If you appreciate baked goods made on site, throughout the day, definitely check out Java. I think going fresh makes all the difference and keeps me coming back for more.

Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products. Come support this amazing local spot and enjoy their unique, thoughtful offerings!
