    I had a great experience at Sumaq Coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the inside of this coffee shop. There are so many places to sit and hang out either by yourself or with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] During my visit, I had to try the Matcha latte. I got it with whole milk and it was delicious. I wanted to try a food item but could never decide so I will have to leave that for my next visit. A friend of mine did try a ham and cheese croquette thing and really enjoyed it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just be aware that there a few areas in the second setting area that did seem drafty to me[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and there is limited parking beside the coffee shop but more parking towards the back and on the side.

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Charlotte! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is great, sophiscitated clean and great for a hangout or simply work remotely while enjoying some great coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is friendly and fully bilingual. My favorite item on the menu: The Dulce de Leche Latte. It's the best I have tried so far. The food menu also offers a lot of options. My wife and I came here for her birthday gathering with her coworkers. We got the Dulce de Leche Latte, Sumaq Latte and the fried empanadas (beef and chicken). Everything was as usual: Fantastic and delicous! The service was also great. Elmer, the manager, helped.us with reserving the space. He is always friendly, helpful and professional. Sumaq is centrally located with free parking. If you are not a local, no worries, the GPS will take you straight to it. Overall, 100% recommended!

    Pumpkin Spice Latte
    Britney B.

    Was in town for business and needed a caffeine pick-me-up. Sumaq came highly recommended. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere: If I were local, this would be my go-to spot to work. The seating is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of work-friendly areas. Everything is beautifully decorated and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee and bites: I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte and two Peruvian baked empanadas, one Spinach and Cheese and one Chicken. Both were flavorful and came with a delicious dipping sauce. The latte was sweet but not overly so, with a light pumpkin flavor that did not overpower the coffee. The service: Friendly and efficient, no complaints.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is definitely a vibe - love the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is a perfect place to add to your wfh spots, along with a pastry and drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered an iced strawberry matcha and impressed with how great it was. I didn't have any expectations as this was my first time here but I can definitely say is high on my list of matchas I've tried in CLT. The matcha is quality! I personally wished there was more of the strawberry. I would definitely be back to try a latte.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really great ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean and minimalist decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly staff and fast service . Alfajores were delicious and a great cortado !!!

    Hidden gem coffee shop on south blvd! A great spot that is slightly out of the way from bustling uptown. This coffee shop is a great place to do some work, grab a cup and catch up with friends or a casual weekend date. They have a wide range of drink options, plus some really delicious food. The place was very clean, quaint and staff was super friendly. If you're in the area, go and check it out!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What an adorable coffee shop![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wanted to spend a Saturday morning at a nice coffee spot to read a book and I didn't want to go to chain Starbucks. I googled shops and this was at the top of the list with great reviews and I can see why. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's beautifully decorated and staff was great and drinks even better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a couple of their new fall drinks, an apple butter one and a fall spice one. Both were absolutely yummy.

    Sumaq latte, strawberry matcha
    Aashna K.

    We came across this coffee shop when we were looking for a pick me up and we were in the area. The parking spots are very limited outside the coffee shop and the coffee shop is directly off of a very busy street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside has ample seating and many tables with lots of natural light and a very nice ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I decided to get a strawberry Matcha as a refreshing afternoon treat. This latte was both very bitter grassy and very over sweetened. The strawberry in this latte was more of a jam, and the proportion added was way too much. My SO got the sumac latte, which was their signature latte that was listed as being brown sugar cinnamon. We both really liked the taste of it, but it was nothing special that made us need to come back. The pricing is what you would expect for a Charlotte coffee shop in a popular area. Would I come back? Maybe if I was in the area and didn't want Matcha but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very beautiful atmosphere and a great place to get work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The majority of patrons were on laptops working when I visited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plentiful seating both inside and outside, and a lot of wall outlets in case you need to charge your tech items.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks are decent taste-wise, and average price for this area. My latte cost about $6 and my matcha cost about the same. I've tried two of their pastries (cinnamon roll and a cake item) wasn't a big fan of either. They were both a little dry. There's small parking lots surrounding the building so parking isn't a hassle. I would come back for the drinks and atmosphere.

    Beef Empanadas
    Michelle F.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This coffee house is like walking into a tropical coffee house with a lot of room and free WiFi for people doing things on their laptops.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The desserts looked amazing but I was told to try an empanada so I asked them to give me the best one. I opened the box and it was piping hot. I have to be honest, it seemed like the pastry itself was wonderful and fresh but the cheese and beef filling tasted off putting, like the dairy was curdling or maybe a flavor I'm not familiar with tasted sour. We only had a small bite or two and threw out the rest.

    Strawberry Matcha
    Sarah A.

    I quite liked my experience here! I went late afternoon during the week so the area and the place was kind of quiet so I was able to get my drink very quickly. I added strawberry flavor to a hot Matcha latte and loved it! It tasted sweet, but it wasn't overbearing and the matcha was just a perfect drinking temperature. The seating area was really nice as well and I like how they had cushions on the wooden benches to make them more cozy. I would've stayed there longer if I could and this place has a ton of outlets so it's really great if you wanna get some work done while at a coffee shop.

    Breakfast flatbread and Dulce de Leche Latte

    The food was delicious, coffee prepared with quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was perfect for working remotely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Loved it!

This turned out to be a calm and surprisingly peaceful Starbucks, the kind of spot where the drive‑through hums along outside while the inside stays quiet enough to settle in for a few minutes. There's an outdoor patio that looks over the parking lot and plenty of space inside, clean and orderly in that familiar Starbucks way. I ordered my usual cortado and it was prepared well enough to take the edge off the morning and make the wait pleasant. The baristas were friendly, moving the queue along quickly without any fuss, and the whole place had that steady early‑morning rhythm where everyone is just trying to get their day started without drama. I've definitely been to worse Starbucks. This one was solid and decent, a reliable stop when you need a warm drink and a place to sit while watching the clock inch toward opening time.

It's a beautiful place to relax over coffee and dessert. They have an extensive menu with plenty of food, pastries, desserts, and drinks to choose from.

The Lemon Poppy Seed Yogurt Cake was incredibly soft, moist, and perfectly lemony. The Peach Cheesecake was the star of the desserts--creamy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We also tried the Lemon Raspberry Tart, which had a wonderful balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. Between the beautiful ambiance and outstanding desserts, it's definitely a spot we'll return to. The next time we're in Charlotte, we'd love to come back and explore their food menu as well.

We took the soup back and had it warmed up again and for some odd reason it was still cold then I noticed my husband had the wrong sandwich so I got up, took it back and said he ordered a turkey wrap and I don't know what this is. They bought his wrap and two new leek soups which were still cold again so we got cold soup three times. We gave up and left. Coffees were good as was the pecan pie.

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.
