    I took my family who was visiting from out of town here on the 4th of July. It was a party of 5 and automatically the 20% gratuity was included. We like to tip on top of the added gratuity but in this case we didn't. The server did bare minimum. We asked for 1 water and she didn't bother to ask if anyone else wanted one . Overall the service was lack luster. Pro: The food came out fresh and was OKAY but I've had better . We won't be back .

    I took my mom to the Sweet Spot for breakfast and I have to say I was a little underwhelmed.. Our server was Amelia and she was pretty much doing everything; she was waiting tables, cleaning tables, and seating people and with so much on her plate some things slipped through the wayside. We ordered chicken & waffles, which came out hot, fresh and were very tasty, but the coffee was definitely a little weak and needed an expresso shot, but the Expresso machine was not working. They have an array of Java drinks on the menu board, but with one of the main pieces of equipment down selections were limited. The tables still had dishes and leftover food on them and needed to be cleaned but surprisingly the bathroom was in good shape. I'm not counting them out and I would definitely give them another try if I was in the Huntersville area.

    We wanted some coffee and the Sweet Spot popped up as an option we never had so we decided to try it out. Since we originally only went for coffee and decided we wanted food once we got there, this ended up being a to go order experience. The server that helped us was nice and the place had a few people in it for a weekday morning, but wasn't busy and we didn't have to wait to long for our coffee and food. I ordered a latte, it was fine. Nothing spectacular but it hit the spot. I also ordered pancakes and bacon. When we got home the first thing I noticed was my 2 pancakes were huge and fluffy, so that was a plus. I also noticed my order of bacon was supposed to be 4 pieces and was actually like 8. So, that was really fun! The reason for my 3 star review is because that beautiful surprise double order of bacon also had a surprise piece of thick long black hair.... That really put a damper on the food mood once I saw it. I saw it after the fact so, yes I had already eaten most of my food. The hair was in the bacon box on the extra slices. Can't say I'll be going back to this spot any time soon.

    It's been awhile since I last ate at the Sweet Spot. I will be the first to admit that my expectations were pretty low. However, I was shocked to see that they were packed on a Sunday morning. Thankfully we were able to be seated immediately at what looked to be the last available table. I took that as a good sign. We sat for awhile before our server came to greet us. We hadn't realized that the menu was via a QR code on the table. Once I pulled it up, I was pleasantly surprised to see a menu that was a bit more elevated than the traditional diner food that I remembered before. Just a note that the menu definitely favors carnivores. I ordered the Cali Breakfast Bowl but switched out the cheese and asked for my bacon on the side, which I gave to my son. My daughter ordered the fruit crepe. My son was happy to take advantage of the gluten free French toast. The food was good. My kids ordered an iced chai with oat milk and a hot chocolate with oat milk. Neither were blown away. So I probably would stick to basic drinks like juice or coffee. All of the servers appeared to be high school/ college girls. They were all polite. I have no issues with returning again in the future.

    THEY ARE STEALING PEOPLES MONEY & THEY BLATANTLY LIED TO OUR FACES. I placed an order over the phone today & during the call she said that she was only able to take payment over the phone, not when I got to the restaurant. I paid the fee & upon retrieving my food I noticed that a gratuity fee had been added to my bill. When I made them aware of this they brought out the manager & he appeared to have an attitude. He then proceeded to tell me that there was nothing he could do because the food was already prepared and he stated that information about being charged gratuity for orders placed over the phone was located on their website. I then went to the website to verify this information and it was NO WHERE to be found. This will be my first and last time coming to this establishment. Their attitudes are very lackadaisical and rude.

    Nashville Breakfast Scrambler Bowl
    Carly L.

    We went to The Sweet Spot on a Friday morning around 10am. We were greeted quickly and placed a to-go order at the counter. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. We had an omelet, Nashville Scrambler Breakfast Bowl, and basic scrambled eggs and bacon. We enjoyed everything. The Breakfast Bowl had Nashville hot sauce which was so good. It had a sweet element and smoky spicy ness to follow. The restaurant is a small place but so homey and relaxing. Lots of soft lighting as well. Can't wait to try other menu items.

    Proof they no food is complained about.

    Almost empty restaurant. Semi full staff. 4 filled tables.... After long wait, someone from the bar area finally said seat ourselves. Ordered drinks, did not receive menus. Didn't know menus are only available thru QR code because no one mentioned it or even where to find menus.. Overheard it (while waiting forever for water and coffee) from another waitress who sat the table long after us. Coffee was bitter and couldn't eat pancakes - no flavor at all beyond bread. Syrup was watered down so much, it was no longer sweet nor represented maple flavor. If food was good, I could easily overlook the service. But food was below a 1 star rating except for the bacon, which was a 10. Menu says "all items ordered will remain on your check" so my advice is don't bother complaining, just pay the bill and don't return.

    Was in Concord running errands and wanted a good hearty breakfast. So decided to try them out. Wait was over 30min since such a small place and was pretty crowded. I got the omelette/pancake combo. Was very good but I do wish they had hot syrup in a bottle instead of packets of cold syrup. Hot would have definitely made the pancake better. My waitress was very friendly and attentive.

    Information about when the automatic gratuity will be added.

    This establishment deserves a NEGATIVE 10 for a rating. THEY ARE SNEAKILY STEALING MONEY!!!! After walking in to pick up the order I noticed NO ONE in the kitchen was wearing hair nets which should have been a sign. My daughter paid for the food but wasn't able to go inside to get it so I planned to do so. After retrieving the food & receipt I noticed a gratuity was added. I was puzzled because I HAVE NEVER seen a restaurant add this to a called in/pick up order. And it WAS NOT mentioned on the phone. She had the entire conversation on speaker for me to hear our orders being placed. I brought it to my daughter's attention because she paid for our food. She was not happy and asked that I get a refund. If there is no transparency about the service charge being added, then it is illegal for a restaurant to do so. And that is considered stealing by adding additional charges/money without informing the person. I explained my complaint/concern and the manager was brought out. IMMEDIATELY his body language was all wrong and he appeared bothered. He wasn't happy about my complaint but I voiced my concerns about the gratuity being added without us knowing. He said(quote) "it is on our website" AND "there isn't anything I can do because the food was already cooked ". WORST, UNPROFESSIONAL response you can get from a manager!! Basically, he didn't care and he wasn't ashamed to show it. He then asked his employee if she made the caller (my daughter) aware and she BLATANTLY LIED and said yes. I confronted her and told her she did not disclose anything about an added gratuity and stood my ground. She then admitted she didn't say this and apologized. The issue IS NOT about money as the amount didn't break our banks. And I never mind paying for anything up front as long as I know beforehand. It is about the company not disclosing this information, having an attitude when it is brought to their attention, the employee back peddling and lying (not taking responsibility/ownership) until she realized I was not goi g to sway my words AND the bogus, bothered manager. To top things off, on the website it has this message - "Please be kind and respectful to our staff. They are working hard to take care of each and every customer ". I'm the 1st to say THIS IS THE BIGGEST LIE that could have ever been displayed. The employees are not kind nor respectful, but have the AUDACITY to place those words on their website. I don't understand how you would be rude/disrespectful to someone but EXPECT different reciprocity. And to add to all of this. The food is mediocre and flavorless. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

    Amelia had great customer service but the food and the flies are RIDICULOUS. I shouldn't have to fight the flies away from my food and even the waitress know it . One said i know they are bad like wtf . The food has no seasoning like you should cook the grits longer until they are popping on the stove . Then i heard the guy in the kitchen talking crap about a customer that came through the door

    Amylia. Amylia, AMYLIA!!! Absolutely amazing and such a welcomed experience. The food is almost as good lol. Jk, the food is fresh, full of flavor, and portioned just right. Today marks the 3rd day in a row (kitchen is under construction at home) and I'm sure it will be the start of many many more. They have a big projection screen which plays cartoons for the littles and another tv that can match or put something else on. Perfect setting to sit and digest the amazing meal while enjoying friendly banter with anyone in ear shot. Absolutely love this place! See y'all again soon!!

    Omelette and home fries with a biscuit
    Kendra B.

    Get an omelette and the home fries. That's it. That's the post. Just kidding... but seriously, I've come to this place for years and I think they have some of the best omelettes. The service is sometimes hit or miss, but they are extremely generous with their omelette fillings (meat and veggies). The portion size is huge and I always have leftovers. The home fries are also some of the best. Again, generous portion size and they are seasoned well with peppers and onions. It's a kid friendly type of restaurant and can get busy on weekends so get there at a good time.

    Nieya B.

    Food was good. Potatoes didn't have any seasoning. Omelets only come with egg and cheese. Everything else is a .65-.90 cent add on. Tea was amazing! There was no wait and the waiter was nice. I would stick to the pancakes, waffles, and French toast though.

I ordered and picked up, everyone was nice at pick up. I had to go with the famous food Network sandwhich, The squawking goat. This was a biscuit with perfectly seasoned fried chicken, topped with fried goat cheese and pepper jelly! Every bite was delicious. The fried goat cheese was fried perfect and when you bite into it, it oozed out. I loved the pepper jelly as well, it leaned more on the sweeter side but I didn't mind it all. We also tried the chicken waffles. Again very good. The waffle was seasoned nicely. I personally like my waffles harder, but could of been the drive back to house that softened it up. But the flavor was on point so was okay with it. The chicken like in my biscuit was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Tried their churro(iced) latte. Loved it, my mind was set on a super sweet drink BUT this was not at all, was a perfect blend and balance. We got a side of crispy potatoes, weren't a fan of these, no flavor and not really that crispy. But by time we ate everything else the potatoes were an after thought. That be the only thing I wouldn't order again.

I ordered the Iced Cinnamon Biscuit. My husband ordered the Five & Dime with a side of tots. The cashier was super nice and was the one that helped me pick what to order. Once we ordered, they gave us a number to put at the table so they could deliver the food. It took about 12 minutes from order to delivery of said food. The Iced Cinnamon Biscuit was a great choice. It basically tasted like a cinnamon roll, but substitute the roll part to be a biscuit. I also tried some of my husband's tots and they had the perfect crunch. There are a few big tables inside where it's easy to share with others. They also had outdoor seating too. The only off putting thing was water was dripping from the ceiling all over the restaurant when I was there. There were no signs about the water, but every now and then a drop would fall on someone unsuspecting or the floor. They really need to get that looked at. The parking lot is an L-shaped so be careful parking towards the end as it is closed off so it can be tough to turn around.

We appreciate their creative menu, with unique options that you can't find anywhere else. We usually go before 9am on a Saturday, when they aren't as busy. And our usual server, Makel, is always on top of everything, even if he is the only one serving tables at that time. We rotate between our favorites - 1. I like their quiches, breakfast enchiladas, and the two-egg plate. 2. My husband likes their Ranchero Scramble, breakfast enchiladas, and breakfast burrito. I'm usually disappointed with how restaurants cook scrambled eggs with cheese, but the chef at Neighborhood Cafe knows how to do it right. The eggs are never overcooked, and the cheese is always melted throughout. He sets the standard for how scrambled eggs should be made! I'll often rotate sides, but lately I've been having a half avocado with the eggs. The avocado is ALWAYS fresh and never brown. Other times, I'll get a salad or fruit. I appreciate that they have so many side options. If they have a quiche that I like (no asiago or goat cheese for me), I'll have the quiche entree. They serve that dish with two sides, and I always get the salad and fruit. Their dressings are homemade, and are so good! My husband's current favorite is the Ranchero Scramble. He adds their homemade red chili sauce (the one they serve on top of the breakfast burrito), and we both use it. It's amazing on the scrambled eggs, too! Their portions are large, their coffee is good and strong, and service is always so fast. We love Neighborhood Cafe!

It speaks volumes if even my kids don't touch the food. The shining star was the mimosa.
