While I looked online I was surprised to learn that this place tries to stay in touch with their South American roots, so obviously I wanted to try it out! On the menu I saw plenty of drinks from coffees to matchas to chais and lemonades as well. Apart from that there were other options like baked goods and sandwiches. Once I got there the place was actually very packed but there was still plenty of room as well. There was also an outside patio for those who wish to sit outside rather than inside. The vibe was giving woodsy and green. So it felt very bright and welcoming in the shop. The staff was nice and took care of me quickly. I ended up ordering their pesto flatbread. It took a couple of minutes for me to get my order but nothing too long. The flatbread was overall really good. It had arugula, pesto, cheese, prosciutto, and cherry tomatoes on top. It was very filling as well. I would def recommend this place if you're in the Charlotte area! I will say that the prices might not be the "cheapest" but I think it's worth it.

Brakeman's also serves muffins, pastries and iced drinks, and the service is friendly and efficient. But be warned -- this popular spot gets extremely busy, especially on Saturday mornings.

There's ample seating, and on the Wednesday late morning that I stopped in, a smattering of folks were quietly working. The pastries are displayed along the counter, and there's also a chalkboard with their empanada offerings. I got a pineapple-stuffed pastry stick, pan de bono (cheese bread), and guava & cheese empanada to go with our iced brown sugar cinnamon latte & iced vanilla latte (both with oat milk). I love the tropical/Colombian touches to the food offerings, and they were all delish! I especially enjoyed the empanada since it was served hot with a flaky crust and perfect amount of filling. Highly recommend coming in if you're in the area and looking for a caffeine + sweet treat boost!

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.

It worked out beautifully and it was very filling . I thought the sliced avocado along with the balsamic on the arugula all worked really well on the crisp bread . The hazelnut latte was just as rich and amazing. I also tried two pastries , their scones which had contained three different fresh fruits (apricots , blueberry and I forgot the last thing ) and each bite was orgasmic . So too was their bread pudding with the blueberry compote . Many of their other pastries looked really inviting . Hopefully I can try more of their offerings soon as this was a home run !

There was plenty of seating inside to eat, chat, and just hangout. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Now on to the actual desserts, unfortunately for me, the options I picked were a mostly a miss. I got the marbled brownie, a slice of lemon pound cake, and a red velvet macaroon. The macaroon and the brownie were just okay, kind of on the soft side for both. Definitely not memorable. The only item that I really liked was the lemon pound cake but I wouldn't still go out of my way to grab it unless I was already in the area.

Now, i wasnt sure who in the world that was but, after i placed my order, i inquired. The cashier told me that he was the pastor of " the church," to which i replied where is the church, and she says " right here," it BLEW MY MIND. I didnt realize that i was walking into a church, or that "pastor appreciation days" even existed. lol! So glad that i ended up stopping by this day, the members of the church that i interacted with were very welcoming, and even provided us with 2 gift boxes, which included mugs inside. As it was a cold, rainy day, i ordered a hot vanilla latte, and a bacon, egg, and chasse croissant. The drink was delicious! on the first sip, i was impressed! and let out a genuine, child-like MMMM! lol!! the bacon, egg and cheese came out piping hot.
