But this day I got a special treat and met the owner. In the five minute conversation I learned so much and have fallen even more in love with the place. I try something different every time but my weakness is the pastelitos. EVERY single time. Service always makes me feel at home. This day I was not disappointed between Lexie and the owner. Lexie was attentive, helpful and friendly with a busy lunch crowd. Since we were last here they have expanded. Both sides had a crowd so it was obviously needed. Can't wait until the next time. If you haven't already, you gotta try this place!

Their owners are great and staff is well trained and always very perky (must be the expresso!). Here's my three things: 1) Come for the Lechon Asado, stay for the newly opened bar area with all kinds of tasty drinks 2) Hit them up for Lunch as nothing beats their Cuban or Media Noche sandwiches and their rice and beans sides are fantastic. 3) This should have been #1 since it starts the day but come in for a Colada (expresso and sugar) matched with a guava pastelito (pastry) and thank me later. The dark deep coffee matched with the sweet crunchy pastelito make one hell of a combo.

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.

My husband, however, has no self-control, so he got the Chocolate Strawberry Croissant lol. Both were 10/10. Even the matcha was so aesthetic and delicious! I know some people mention the prices, but honestly, it's spot on. I'd much rather pay for high-quality food and a gorgeous atmosphere than spend the same amount on something mediocre elsewhere. Plus, the service was fast and everyone was so nice. My only regret is not taking a dessert to go! I'll definitely be back.

There were items on the menu that were not available, but overall the tea part was fine (they just took a while to bring out sugar, milk etc. that you'd expect to come with it). The most disappointing part was that I'd assumed since it was a cafe that there would be fresh pastries or other items homemade on the tea platters. The scones seemed fresh, but a lot of the other appetizer items looked like the frozen hors d'oeuvres from Costco or something, which was super sad. Overall, I would have expected more for the price and the non-optional $20 gratuity.

I had The American: 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 hotcakes (mancakes? lol) and hash browns. Everything was cooked perfectly, especially the pancakes which smelled heavenly and were the best I've had in years. Hubby has The Meats omelette with toast and grits. It was stuffed full of meat & cheese and the grits were cooked well. For a Tuesday mid-morning, it was busy! Everyone was hustling and the food came out fast and fresh. We really enjoyed our visit and highly recommend this place to anyone passing through.

The cat room is intimate but spacious enough for a few different groups. They have tons of toys, enrichment items, even a kitty tv. We ordered coffee which she delivered right to us. They have lots of flavor options. I got a white mocha, yum! We ended up putting in an adoption application for a kitten, and got the call within a week that he was ready to bring home! Leslie, the owner, was wonderful to work with. He's an absolute doll and we couldn't be happier! Definitely recommend this cafe for a fun weekend activity... though you may end up with a cat even after one visit!

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 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.
