The place was beyond our wildest dreams! It was beautiful with thoughtful seating arrangements that included leather chairs and velvet couches. And the coffee drinks were the best we have had, far better than anything I ever had at any chain (you know who I mean!) The service was wonderful and kind and the owner shared that the name, Borboleta, was her pet name, which means butterfly in Portuguese. I really wish this was close to me in Pennsylvania. I will aim to return here again! And you should too!

I've had the A Pink Me Up ($8) - pink mocha macchiato, salted caramel cold foam, Avocado Toast ($7) - egg, feta, pickled onion, red pepper flakes, Oatmeal Cookie Chai ($7.65), and Sticky Bun Latte ($8.05). Staff have always been warm and friendly as I've had zero issues at the shop.

Was visiting family during Memorial Day weekend, and we met up with a friend in town at this lovely…read moreTurkish Cafe in the university area of Charlotte, NC. Loved the vibe and the decor. It's a very happening spot for young and old, families and friends, people looking to work, and others just there to chill and relax. The line was out the door for the duration of my time there, but do not let that deter you. They have ample space to handle the crowd and it's well staffed with people constantly walking around helping and answering questions. Service is fast and everyone is so nice. They have a variety of seating arrangements which makes it great for large or small groups. This may sound like a lot is going on, and it is...but at the same time it's very relaxing and chill. You place your order at the counter and I'm telling you, they have a great variety to choose from. My party shared some chicken flatbread, a Caprese style appetizer(not its name), and sweet potato cheesecake. Whe all enjoyed some coffee made to order for our liking. We even ordered some pistachio and dubai chocolate desserts to go. Everything was superb! We sat and talked for hours and just soaked in the environment. I had such a great experience and I'm really looking forward to dining here again.

I've been for morning coffee when it's not as busy and late at night weekends during it's busiest times. Finding a parking space is challenging, especially on weekends. But once you step inside Vavela's you forget all about that because the vibe catches you instantly. The music, upbeat yet relaxing, transports you to another place and time. As soon as the doors open it's impressive! Seating is welcoming and abundant, be it at a table, on sofas or a grouping of comfortable chairs. When you walk up to the counter to order they have all of their drinks and deserts chilling and on display. And there are a lot of them! I don't know if they are made from scratch or premade, but I've had about 6 different kinds and each one was better than the next. All delicious! On my last visit we got our coffees, shared chicken flatbread, a tomatoe/cheese appetizer and sweet potato cheesecake and EVERYTHING was delicious!!!! They always have a lot of servers and they bring your order to your table. Because it stays busy I notice they have to constantly be on top of cleaning the tables and floors and often people will grab a seat before the staff has a chance to clean the area. But they overall do a good job staying on top of it. I highly recommend Vavela for a group meeting, or if alone, bring your laptop, your studies and get some work done while grabbing a bite to eat...and a Latte.

We got a few things: bagel bomb, cinnamon roll, brown sugar cookie, and donut. My only regret was not getting more things, like the amazing looking croissants. Bagel bomb was actually unreal. An everything bagel stuffed with an incredible shallot cream cheese. It was one of the best bfast items I have ever had. The cinnamon roll was insanely good. So soft, so moist, so delicious. The cookie was perfect. Texture was perfect, flavor was delicious. And the donut(how they did this I don't know) was also incredible. Better donut than most donut shops I've been to. One of the fluffiest, most perfectly textured donuts I've had. This place, simply put, is one of the best bakeries I've been to. The people were also incredibly nice. Please run.. don't walk.. to try this place! You will not be disappointed. Thanks!

Rendezbrew is a great coffee shop - that also serves alcohol at night! One of my favorite things…read moreabout it is the monthly latte flight--they release new flavors every month, with a mix of hot and cold selections, and I look forward to it every time. They also offer a small food menu; my kids enjoyed the avocado toast. On weekends, they serve delicious bagels--my favorite is the jalapeño. I took off one star because the drinks and food can take a while, but everything is made to order, and in a way that's part of what sets them apart from chain coffee shops. They also host fun events; I once had a great time playing music bingo here!.

When I went to redeem my Goodiebag offer the guy working the counter was amazing. I got there very close to closing and he was so sweet. He went into the counter and filled our bag was savory treats. There was around 7/8 items in the bag. Everything he put in the bag was a surprise to us. We noticed a few of the names but they looked alike in the bag. Now we had 2 with hamburger meat/ground beef. They were our favorites. One had ham and cheese and one had corn and cheese. Both were delicious. Small round cheese breads were very chewy. Our least favorite was the hot dog but it wasn't terrible. We opted to get a sweet treat also and loved it also. It was a milk and coconut twisted bread. All in all I was super impressed with what we got and all the delicious flavors. We split the goodie bag items between 3 people and were very satisfied. Romeo and Juliet Brazilian Cafe 1605 Galleria Blvd Ste 105 Charlotte, NC 28270 (Review 16 in 2024 and 816 overall)

I always get the flan it is the best in the state BUT it is not consistent unfortunately and is expensive I keep buying as most of the time it is amazing but when it is not I have not eaten it or tossed it again unfortunate. I do love most of what I get and always try new things and you can fine inside and take tons to go. They have other interesting and international gourmet goodies to treat yourself to. I do wish that all counter staff could communicate in English as I ended up a few times with things I would not have ordered and it was due to miscommunication and again the price is expensive and worth it when on point. I do recommend this spot as there are many reasons to come just make sure you know what you are getting and see about samples maybe before. Cute space tons of parking and easy to access.

That's because they had a huge map outlining the historical trade routes that coffee beans were transported on, as well as an homage to some of the patrons of coffee cultivation. They backed up these historical displays with great customer service, a solid cup of coffee, and a truly mesmerizing ambiance. I've been to so many coffee shops in my life, and Qahwah House was the first time, if not ever, then definitely in a long time, that I felt like I experienced something unique. I loved it. Overall, I loved Qahwah House, and I'll assuredly be back as soon as I can. I'd also recommend it to anybody looking for something new to experience!

I don't even drink the whole pot because that's just too much caffeine for me lol. I also really loved the savory pastries they have, very complimentary to their coffee. The service is very kind and they give you a buzzer to easily come pick up your order when it's ready. The ambiance was great the last time I went in. They had wifi available if I needed it, but it wasn't overpacked so I could work a bit when I first came in and then was able to still hear my friend when she came over. It has nicely spaced tables so you aren't as boxed in as you are in some of the other coffee places in this area. Overall, my favorite place to grab a Turkish coffee in Charlotte. Yummy coffee, nicely spaced tables, free wifi, good service, and not overly packed. My go-to coffee spot in Plaza Midwood!
