I like that this is closer to my home. I visited Haraz based off the hype they created on Instagram, but the overcrowded scene killed the vibe there for me. A Coffee bistro/shop is supposed to be like Sumaq. A relaxing place to enjoy a delicious treat and/or coffee. We ordered two of their pastry options, a coffee and a macchiato. Needless to say, amazing read more

Super cute, vibey coffee shop on South Blvd. I'm not a coffee drinker and usually go for a chai tea or other tea options. I didn't see any teas on the menu but when I asked about it I was excited to learn they do in fact offer chai tea lattes. I think it was $5.25. Delicious chai served on a cute little platter. They serve the drinks to your table but at the counter they have a condiment/utensils station with honey, sugar, cinnamon etc to add to drinks at your liking. Their chicken empanadas are good, small but good. I think at $3 each they're a little pricey for the size. I've never had an empanada with hard boiled egg on the inside, an interesting addition. The dipping sauce was tasty. It added flavor with just the right amount of spice. There is lots of space to hang out and socialize or do work. Benches, high top tables, chairs etc. They have free WiFi. There were two of us and we weren't able to connect iPhones or iPads but the nice gentleman behind the counter helped us out with a different network. Background noise wasn't bad. play Typical "cafe style" music at a reasonable level. Acoustic covers and such. The bathrooms were clean. The women's bathroom has a large full length mirror which is always a plus. I spent about 2 hours here and think this will become my new go to coffee shop to come relax. read more

I randomly found Sumaq looking for a cafe I wanted to try out not to far from work and this spot didn't disappoint! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's very quaint and surprisingly spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is beautifully decorated with very peaceful music adding to the decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was also pleased with the service. I liked how knowledge, patient and kind the staff was in accommodating my food options as a vegetarian. I had a wrap and a lavender matcha tea.

Sumaq coffee has a unique calm nude color vibe as soon as you come through the door. With their summer inside tone with the decor. It makes you want to dine in and fellowship with others. They offer a variety of different coffees, non coffee selection, that pairs well with their food options. I decided to try the Frappe with a Carmel mocha. Yummy! The empanadas were amazing, very moist, and flaky with a side of delicious dipping sauce. They have plenty of space out sitting area inside. Everything was very relaxed and clean.

We got two cappuccinos, the egg salad sandwich, and a chicken empanada. Cappuccino- I thought it was decent. Had a burned taste to it, not well extracted. My wife liked it. I'd give it 2/5, she rated it 4/5. There are far better places to get coffee. Empanada- Decent. It was edible but would not order again. Egg salad sandwich- highlight of our meal. Well toasted croissant, flavorful sandwich. Would probably order again. Very nice ambiance. Lots of large tables. Seems like a good place to work. It was fairly crowded on a Saturday morning. Overall, while we are in no rush to come back, it would be a shop we would visit again if we were nearby. It's at least worth stopping by once. read more

This was such a cute spot!! I'm not a coffee drinker so I went more for the wfh vibes and they delivered. The space is very inviting and spacious. Lots of tables if you're coming to work or study. I was so grateful to see that they mindfully placed outlets around because there is nothing worse than having to go on a scavenger hunt for an outlet. The pastries, sandwiches and all the food looked so yummy that I will be back just so I can try! It is a bit loud just because there are many people working, just hanging out, but nothing a pair of headphones can't fix! Also, bring a sweater. It was a bit cold, but that could also just be me. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the bathroom. It smelled divine. The bigger stall had a changing table and a bench in it, which is great for moms! Overall, I enjoyed my time there and can't wait to return for that Nutella toast! read more

I stopped in at the start of my Saturday errands for a coffee. Sumaq is in a busy spot along South Boulevard and is a very comfortable space with lots of seating inside and a few seats outside. Power outlets to all of them and some good spots for the laptop workers. And yes, they have a free wifi. Espresso-based drinks and pour-over coffees. Sandwiches and snacks include pastries and wraps. Desserts as well. I had an Americano and I thought the coffee was quite good. Rich taste and served in a ceramic mug filled almost to the very brim. Much enjoyable and it really helped get my day started. [Review 17596 overall - Round number 3300 in North Carolina - 1114 of 2022.] read more

Stopped in pretty quickly to grab an americano and breakfast while running errands. Super clean and whimsical inside with the warm wood tones and giant tree in the center of the action. Staffers were super nice and the place wasn't crowded at all (must of hit the sweet spot). Will have to work my way through the menu, but they also have daily pastries (not listed online). Solid americano. I really like their story origins (South America). All their menu items are super instagramable (I guess that's a verb now). But more importantly: made in house, less processing and starting with great ingredients. There's a cute outdoor area as well, I think I got there too early to where the staff had not put our tables and chairs. Parking lot is a little to be desired especially when it's off the busy south blvd. Ended up parking in the nearby shopping center and trekking in. read more

After waiting for almost 35 minutes for a tomato soup and grilled cheese, this is what I got. The tomato soup was not even full, and when I went back in to ask if this was the true portion size, they said yes it's a small bowl, and there's no more soup. I got there three hours after opening and the fact that there was no more soup at 11 in the morning is insane. So they basically gave me the scraping from the bottom of the pot, which I can confirm as my soup was full of burnt pieces, and the grilled cheese was not cooked thoroughly. The cheese was still a bit raw. Don't waste your time coming here. read more

It's really a place you come if you aren't in a hurry or you will be pretty upset. I have wait well up to 20 minutes + for drinks sometimes. Average wait is at least 20. The drinks and food are really good. I get the iced Sumaq latte with oat milk. It's delicious! I tried one of the sandwiches and it was good. Pastries are phenomenal!!

My fiancé and I frequent Sumaq, as it's close to home, it's spacious and comforting inside, and their food/drink offerings have a unique taste and are typically prepared well. Also, the staff are generally polite. The reason I did not put 5-stars is because today I ordered my usual caramel frappe and when I tried it there was no caramel or coffee taste, it seemed more like watered down milk and ice. My fiancé politely asked if they could add more caramel flavor which they did, but it still didn't have much flavor. I then asked politely if he would be able to make another one. Upon doing so he just set it on the counter without acknowledging me or apologizing or anything, honestly I questioned whether it was even for me. Not to mention it was still flavorless, and was prepared sloppily with a pool of what I assume is their caramel flavoring on top. Even by picking up the cup I could tell that it felt much lighter than usual. All I can say is that both the drink, and the service left a bad taste in my mouth. The guy at cashier was friendly though, and is the first person here to ever make conversation with me, and he apologized on the other guy's behalf while giving me a refund. I am in no way a Karen, and I am very forwardly friendly, I was just surprised and disappointed at how my visit went especially as a frequent customer. read more

I assumed it had just been mixed and that the usual layers of matcha, strawberry, and whipped cloud had blended together, so I didn't think much of it. However, after taking my first sip in the car, it immediately tasted like strawberry milk. Since I was on my way to work, I kept drinking it, expecting the matcha flavor to come through, but it never did. It was disappointing because the drink was nothing like the one I've had several times at other Haraz locations. I hope this location places an emphasis on training and consistency so the drinks meet the same standard as the rest of the Haraz locations. On a positive note, the staff members were kind, welcoming, and greeted me as soon as I walked in.

Renaissance Pâtisserie

They had offered samples of their lemon tart at the event, which stayed on my mind--so I came back and ordered the Lorraine-style quiche. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced by a fresh side salad. I paired it with a café au lait, which was equally well done. The ambiance is effortlessly chic--very much reminiscent of a European café--and it was lively during lunch. It's the kind of place where you can sit, linger, and people-watch... and SouthPark definitely showed up in style. At one point, several guests seated near us were speaking French, which added to the authenticity and overall experience. Service was warm and efficient, even with the crowd. The bakery itself is on the smaller side--you order inside and then head outside to sit and eat. I went on a Sunday, so it was very busy with a long line, but it moved quickly. When seating fills up, the neighboring restaurant allows use of their patio, which is a thoughtful touch. My friend enjoyed her quiche as well, and we both agreed it's a spot worth returning to--whether for a casual lunch, coffee, or a pastry break. I also order a few macarons to go and my family enjoyed them.

Review for Renaissance Patisserie…read more After relocating to Charlotte from San Francisco, one of the first things I searched for was a proper kouign-amann (pronounced queen-ah-mahn). It's a staple where I'm from, and when I discovered that Renaissance Patisserie carried it, I made the drive immediately. I'm happy to say--this place is the real deal. The kouign-amann here reminded me of the ones back in San Francisco. It wasn't quite as buttery or rich as some of the West Coast versions, but it was absolutely enjoyable--and most importantly, I finished every bite. That alone says a lot. Location & setting: Renaissance is tucked into the upscale specialty shops of SouthPark, in a lovely, polished shopping center surrounded by quality retailers like Williams Sonoma and several restaurants. Parking is plentiful and convenient, and once you step out of your car, you're welcomed into a charming outdoor courtyard that feels relaxed and refined. You'll immediately notice the bright yellow awning--it's cheerful and inviting--and inside, the bakery is just as charming. The black-and-white tile floors, small bistro tables, and beautifully arranged pastry case create a classic European feel. It's not a huge space--maybe six or seven tables--but it feels cozy, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. What makes it special: * A stunning pastry case filled with beautifully crafted desserts and laminated pastries * Skilled bakers and decorators--you can tell there's real craftsmanship behind the products * Friendly, efficient service * Apple Pay accepted (always appreciated) * Self-service water and condiments station * Clean, comfortable environment * A lovely outdoor patio that's perfect when the weather cooperates I do wish they occasionally experimented with more creative variations of the kouign-amann--perhaps seasonal fruit or specialty flavors--but even in its classic form, it's consistently a hit. I've brought these pastries to friends and gatherings, and they're always well received. What I appreciate most is that Renaissance delivers on quality and consistency. It may be a newer trend here in Charlotte, but these pastries have been a long-standing favorite in cities like San Francisco, and it's wonderful to see that level of craftsmanship available locally. Bottom line: Beautiful pastries, fair prices, great service, and a polished, welcoming atmosphere. This has become my go-to bakery in Charlotte, and if you appreciate well-made French pastries, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful pastries, taste amazing

The pastry case is enticing with so many delectable-looking options, and they also have a full breakfast & lunch menu. To drink, I got the salted tahini and honeycomb latte + tahini foam, which was slightly savory and well-balanced.

I know I made it look very pretty in my photos, but don't be fooled. Here is the complete review. We found the green tomatoes bland and appeared to have been frozen before being prepared. The "Gravy Train" with the mini biscuit was inedible. The gravy itself was OK. Nothing special, not one of the three were "great." But the mini biscuits were terrible, hard, dense chunks of dough. I ate one of them and discarded the rest. The "Chicken Ditch the Waffle" was equally terrible. Whatever they did to turn the biscuit into "fake" French toast is a 100% fail. They were as dense and unappealing as the mini biscuits. The chicken itself was fine. If I was only rating the chicken I'd probably give it a 3.5. The best dish was actually the "GOAT." It was served with a Standard biscuit which we thought was still too dense and dry. I recommend finding an independent restaurant that serves real, "from scratch" food. I should point out that the service crew in the dining room who delivered the food as well as provided cleanup and assistance, were exceptional. They were friendly, courteous, and focused on customer service. I'm sure they deserve more than they are being paid. It was obvious many of them were spanish-speaking immigrants.

Nestled on the bustling 6259 South Boulevard in Charlotte, NC, SUMAQ Coffee & Catering is a hidden gem that delights the senses from the moment you step through its doors. This review can't fully capture the enchanting experience, but I'll do my best to convey the magic that awaits you at this incredible venue. With an exquisite blend of artisanal coffee, delightful pastries, and exceptional service, SUMAQ stands out as a beacon of culinary artistry and warm hospitality. Atmosphere & Design: A Contemporary Sanctuary SUMAQ's exterior is unassuming yet modern, welcoming visitors into a space that feels both contemporary and cozy. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a minimalist yet chic interior, with a tasteful combination of wooden furnishings, industrial accents, and soft lighting that creates a serene and inviting atmosphere. The outdoor patio is an oasis in itself, perfect for a sunny day or a tranquil evening under the stars. The design seamlessly blends comfort with style, making it an ideal spot for everything from a quiet morning coffee to a leisurely afternoon catch-up with friends. Culinary Delights: A Feast for the Senses The menu at SUMAQ is a curated selection of culinary delights that showcase a fusion of traditional and innovative flavors. The first thing that caught my eye was the signature iced matcha latte, beautifully layered in a mason jar. The vibrant green matcha contrasted elegantly with the creamy milk, creating a visual treat that was only surpassed by its taste. The matcha was of the highest quality, offering a rich, umami flavor balanced perfectly by the sweetness of the milk. It was a harmonious blend that was both refreshing and indulgent. Not to be outdone, the iced coffee was equally impressive. Served in a similar mason jar, the coffee had a deep, robust flavor with subtle notes of chocolate and caramel. It was the perfect companion to the delicious pastries I tried next. The flan was a masterpiece, with a silky, smooth texture that melted in your mouth. Topped with a single, vibrant raspberry, it was not just a dessert but a work of art. The caramel sauce was just the right amount of sweet, providing a delightful contrast to the creamy custard. The alfajor, a traditional South American delight, was another highlight. This delicate pastry, filled with luscious dulce de leche and dusted with powdered sugar, was a bite-sized piece of heaven. It offered a perfect balance of sweetness and texture, with the buttery, crumbly cookie surrounding a rich, caramel-like filling. It's a treat that evokes the warm, comforting flavors of Latin America, making you feel right at home. Service: A Touch of Excellence The service at SUMAQ is in a league of its own, largely thanks to the charismatic and attentive Juan Pablo. His passion for the café and its offerings is evident in every interaction. Juan Pablo's knowledge of the menu and his genuine enthusiasm make every visit special. He has an uncanny ability to make you feel like the most important guest in the room, offering personalized recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of your experience is perfect. It's rare to find such a combination of professionalism and warmth, and it's clear that Juan Pablo and the entire team at SUMAQ take great pride in their work. A Perfect Conclusion SUMAQ Coffee & Catering is more than just a café; it's a destination that promises an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a local looking for your new favorite spot or a visitor exploring the culinary scene of Charlotte, SUMAQ offers something truly special. The thoughtful design, exceptional food and beverages, and unparalleled service come together to create an experience that's both sophisticated and heartfelt. I left SUMAQ not only satisfied but inspired, eagerly anticipating my next visit. Thank you, Juan Pablo, and the wonderful team at SUMAQ, for crafting such a memorable experience. This is a five-star gem that deserves every bit of its acclaim! read more

**Disappointing Experience at Sumaq Coffee - Not Worth the Hype** I wanted to like Sumaq Coffee, but unfortunately, my visit left a lot to be desired. Right from the start, the atmosphere felt off. The place looked a bit neglected--tables weren't wiped down, and there were **flies buzzing around**, which made sitting and enjoying anything pretty uncomfortable. For a café that presents itself as upscale and curated, I expected a cleaner and more welcoming environment. I ordered a **matcha latte**, hoping for a smooth and creamy drink, but it was **overly bitter and harsh**, lacking balance entirely. On top of that, the strawberry lemonade drink I ordered was **filled with ice**, to the point where there were only a few sips of actual drink. It felt like a ripoff, especially for the price. The **food was similarly overpriced** for what it was--small portions served on **tiny plates**, which made it awkward and messy to eat. And again, considering the price tag, I was expecting more than just a pretty presentation. It didn't deliver on flavor or value. To top things off, there was a **staff member who kept staring at us the entire time**, which made the experience uncomfortable and frankly unsettling. It didn't feel like friendly attentiveness--more like we were being watched for no reason. She also cleaned right below where we were eating which made it smell like bleach. I had high hopes, but this visit made it clear that **aesthetic alone doesn't make a café worth returning to**. Between the dirty vibe, overpriced items, and strange service, I won't be coming back. read more

I recently visited Sumaq Coffee in South Charlotte after seeing it listed on Axios Charlotte's IG as one of the top 10 coffee shops for remote work, and I can see why it made the cut. I stopped by on a Thursday mid-morning, and the space was pleasantly quiet, with only about six people--perfect for getting some focused work done without distractions. The ambiance is beautifully curated with both indoor and outdoor seating. It's spacious enough that you won't feel crammed next to anyone, which I really appreciated. There's a nice mix of seating, including high-tops, couches, and benches, so you can easily find a spot that fits your vibe. I ordered a dirty chai latte, which was solid, but the prosciutto flatbread missed the mark--it was way too salty, and I couldn't finish it. On the other hand, my friend had one of their wraps and enjoyed it, so it might just be that I picked the wrong thing. Service was friendly and efficient, adding to the positive experience. However, parking could be a bit of a hassle since there isn't much of a lot, meaning you'll likely need to find street parking nearby. On the plus side, the space offers great natural light and good backgrounds for video calls--perfect if you're looking to jump on a Zoom meeting. Overall, Sumaq Coffee is a great choice if you're looking for a quieter, less buzzy spot to work. I'll definitely return--just probably won't order the flatbread again. read more

I had a bad experience with the waiter Elmer. His attitude was arrogant and unprofessional, showing very little willingness to provide proper service. In a customer service position, politeness and attention should be a priority, but unfortunately, that was not the case. This is not the first time something like this has happened with the same person, which suggests a lack of supervision or proper training. I hope management takes action, because the place has potential, but experiences like this make customers think twice about coming back. read more
