From the outside looking in Summit looks like your average new age storefront. But the moment you walk in that all goes away, you're greeted by intoxicating aromas that satisfy the doubt of "just another trendy coffee shop", especially if you catch them baking the incredible sweet treats that they offer! As basic as it sounds, get the chocolate chip cookie and DONT scrape off the salt. It's INCREDIBLE!! Above that the coffee they serve here is truly top notch, so many different notes in so many different brewing methods... if you truly love coffee, come here and don't be afraid to explore something off your usual path. The incredible team behind the scenes at the Highland Creek store has been absolutely incredible. Welcoming a new patron with open arms and making sure I leave completely satisfied gives you that feeling that you're not just another customer. Especially if you engage in conversation of their offerings. Summit might be classified as a "chain" due to their multiple storefronts... but this one runs like a small business that cares. Thank you so much for what you guys do!! read more

Stopped by here after searching for a coffee place I haven't been to yet. It was 9:30-ish am on a Sunday and had a decent amount of customers. Some working, some ordering to go, some hanging out with friends. The playlist was jamming! Was my first time here and was easy to order. The menu is on the wall and they have the seasonal menu there as well. I got the brown sugar cinnamon latte, warmed. It was good but not super strong in flavor. A hint but not milky if that makes sense. I'd order jt again. And it's reasonably priced. A little over $6 for a 16. oz. THEY DO NOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR MILK SUBSTITUTES!!!! I love that concept and wish all places did the same. read more

Cool place. Met a friend here to catch up. She comes often and enjoys her drinks. Steady flow of people, many in and out. Good mix of folks working and enjoying coffee. Plentiful seating outside. As mentioned in other reviews, parking was sparse. Half of the parking lot is reserved for residents of the apartment complex. I found a spot but there were maybe 3 others available at 11am on Friday. Ease of parking is a determinant for me to frequent a business. read more

*This review is from the summer* I forgot to post because I had a knee injury a few days later :( I stopped by to try their summer menu items. I ordered the banana crème coffee. The cafe was well maintained and super cute and service was ok. I wasn't a big fan of the coffee, so I may come back to try something else. read more

I was on my way to Starbucks when I drove past this place. The outside was so cute and I could see in the windows it looked great so I immediately took a U-turn and came in! Absolutely zero regrets and now I've found my new spot for coffee! It's a very chill atmosphere, many people are here working and the music is on low. They hadn't put out any pastries yet (as of 10am on a Wednesday), so I was a little disappointed but that didn't falter my experience because the coffee was soo tasty. I love the creativity of their specialty fall menu. I wanted to get one but am in a rut with my vanilla latte! The staff/service was very quick and friendly. The vibes are great, I love the decor and detail put into this place. I can't wait to come back! read more

I only learned about this location this week when I saw the summer menu promo and searched to find a location near me. It's new and super cute inside. Located in the new apartment complex across from Publix and Chick-fil-A. Service was fast. I ordered the banana cream pie and OMG it was delicious!! I can't wait to order another one. Previously I didn't have an amazing experience at another location I went too and as a result wasn't a huge fan, but this visit made me a believer. There were a few people remote working inside and I can understand why. It's very cozy and there are several places to sit and get heads down. Seems pretty quiet too. I will be back very soon to try the banana cream pie, probably multiple times while it is on the menu. read more

Located in an upscale shopping/residential area, this is a popular destination for coffee lovers alike. Service was swift and the coffee was good. I live in Atlanta and was glad to know that Summit has a location there so I won't have to have the beans shipped to me. They also have several different locations in the Charlotte area. Check them out and enjoy. read more

I visited Summit for the first time a few weeks ago and was happy with my experience! I tried one of the holiday lattes and the cinnamon roll pastry, both were good but I would def try other menu items next time! Service was fast and the inside was cute and we were able to find seating at around 11am/12pm during the weekday. The only thing that was an issue for me was parking-- very limited spaces since they share a parking lot with residential townhomes. Overall I enjoyed Summit and would come back. read more

I must say....this location has redeemed the other location I visited years ago. I didn't have a good experience or food or coffee at the other location, so I haven't been to a Summit coffee since. BUT this new location!!!! Super cute, great staff and I had a fantastic honey lavender latte with oat milk and croissant!! The interior is so stinking cute, I could see myself working there for hours. This trip was to meet up with someone and catch up, but I'd love to cowork here too. The only downfall that I experienced was parking was nonexistent. BUT there is a huge parking lot. IDK where all the people in the parked cars were because the coffee shop wasn't full and the only other thing nearby is a small yoga studio and apartments. There were reserved spots for residents and they were all empty. So I wonder if the residents just park anywhere and those reserved spots just sit open. I circled the lot for a few minutes before I drove to the Chick Fil A across the street and parked there and just walked over. That's really the only reason I haven't been back just yet. Otherwise, I loved this spot!! read more

I came here last week but could not find parking. I drove around a few times, and no space or street parking opened up. There is a chick fil-a that is directly across the street. I could have parked and walked over, but I thought it to be inconvenient. Today, Friday, around 10 am. I got there just in time for the one spot that was available. I love the overall location. It's a much needed new coffee option for the area. No drive-through, but OK. Upon walking in, it's very spacious. Lots of people have caught on to the work friendly spot and were there working, networking, and having conversations. It's a great place to work if you don't have conference calls or dont mind the background noise. Lots of chatter. There is outside seating, which is a plus. I ordered the cold Chai with a pump of lavender, and my daughter tried the hibiscus berry lemonade. We chose the chocolate chip cookie and the tomato jam feta danish. Everything was delicious. The danish was super crispy. I didn't taste anything tomatoey, but I still enjoyed it and would get it again. I also downloaded the summit app and was able to get my 1st scan for rewards. I also love that you can order ahead on the app. They have 1 parking space designated for 15 min pick up parking. Overall, I highly recommend read more

Came to summit coffee for the blueberry cold foam matcha and they were sadly out. They gave me a 15% discount for the inconvenience & gave me the great recommendation for the banana bread latte. I will def be back to work remotely in future! Very nice set up here & friendly staff! read more

Arrived midday of their Grand Opening. They did offer free stuff to first 50 people that they served, we missed out for sleeping in. The space is wide open, bright with plenty of natural light. Great wifi and table set ups. They had 2 drip coffees, one dark (delicious) other very good (could have been hotter) and a holiday drink adorned with whipped cream and sprinkles along with a delicious scone. The staff and owner could not have been nicer. Kids corner with coloring pages and stickers. We wish them luck in their new endeavor. Enjoy! read more

Really enjoyed my first visit to Summit Coffee - Highland Creek. A welcomed new addition to the established Highland Creek/Prosperity Church neighborhoods, this cafe will surely be a community fave. After being greeted by the kind baristas and taking a peek at some of the baked good offerings for the day, I decided to try both the hot chai and an iced matcha with cold foam and grabbed a muffin to snack on as well. Both drinks were carefully crafted and visually impressive, with good flavor profiles to match. The chai had a good amount of spice to it and while the matcha was good but the cold foam was delicious, it definitely stole the show. The muffin (warmed upon request) was good, (the texture was different but I think it may have been gluten-free so that would explain it) but I would certainly get it again. The cafe is the ideal space. It's open with lots of seating options - but still manages to be intimate while also ushering in a ton of natural light. They offer free wifi, mobile pickup and even have a kids corner with a toy drip coffee machine - a very nice touch. It is a great place to work from, to hang out, or just to grab a cup of coffee. Can't wait to visit again! read more

The baristas are a bit grey but the pastries, coffee, and tea are fantastic. Would recommend.

The place was so cute! It's even near a chick-filA . The ladies were so sweet to guide me through the menu, the seats were so comfortable I could stay here all day! There's even water bottles and other drinks available as well. read more

Summit Coffee - Blueberry muffin and vanilla Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

A local coffee shop in north charlotte was desperately needed and I'm so happy Summit came to the rescue! Employees are so friendly and there's plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. When it was in season, I would always get the Salted caramel shaken espresso. I will say it was a bit inconsistent depending on who made it, but still always so good! There's never a weekend I dont grab a coffee from Summit and it would be more frequent if it weren't for the prices. But they have an app so I can order ahead and earn credit each time I go which is nice! The parking can be tough sometimes but I've always been able to grab a spot. Way better than Starbucks! read more

The matcha tasted like straight milk and their wasn't sweet at all and tasted like water

Love this place! The customer service, drinks and atmosphere are awesome! However my favorite thing is their birthday cake cookies and they are almost always sold out. I wish they would make more to keep up with the demand :) read more
