First of all their showcase of all of the goodies was just beautiful. I literally had to stare at it for a good 15 minutes before I could decide what I wanted, cause I was gonna take everything home.! The cheesecake flavors were so different creative like they had a Dubai chocolate one, a Snickers one and a few other crazy ones! I ended up going with the kinder one because I do love kinder joy! And then the garlic cream cheese bread was just speaking to me, cause I remember seeing it online and wanted to taste one so bad! Both were absolutely delicious I also wish I caught the workers name, but she was so funny like I could've stood there all night just chatting with her!

The first time was about 3yrs ago so I came here with no expectations other than maybe the drink being more up to my standards. The service of tea fusion is very good. As soon as we walked in there was someone ready to take our order. The decor around the place was cute too! I would say the only thing going on with the place was that the AC was not working and they had mini fans going off around the place. I ordered a strawberry milk tea with tapioca balls. The presentation of the drink was good. My first sips were also very good. But as i continued to drink I noticed that my milk tea was really sweet, a little more than what I would have liked. Then I noticed that the tapioca balls were also with a weird consistency which is what I didn't like about them last time as well. If I have the chance to come back I def would try something new like a refresher.

Hidden gem in the university area of Charlotte. Turkish/Mediterranean food and drinks…read more Bright and airy inside and the decor is simply beautiful. Really captures what the food and culture of the place is. You can come here for breakfast, lunch or dinner or just coffee. They serve all the Turkish coffee and teas your hearing about these days. Plus the regular coffee shop menu. They have a nice case of traditional desserts and everything just looks so good. Cheesecakes, cakes, pastries and baklava. All the food we saw coming out looked so good and all fresh. We sat outside even though it was warm... they have a few sidewalk tables. They have a extensive menu with vegetarian options too. We wanted something light so we shared the mezze platter which comes with 4 dips and their house baked balloon bread and cucumbers and tomato slices. We got the hummus, baba ganoush, red pepper hummus and tzatziki. Also had some stuffed grape leaves on the platter. The bread is pretty unique, light, airy and thinner than a pita it has a big bubble in it and parts are crunchy and some softer. Great for dipping into the dips and just by itself. Also had the garlic Parmesan fries too. All of it was so good. The fries are crispy and a full bowl that never seemed to go down. The dips were so fresh and I loved the smokey baba ganoush. Presented so nicely too. The grape leaves were great too stuffed with rice and marinated in a nice vinaigrette type dressing. Great platter for the hot weather as it was all cool. After we finished that we went inside as it started getting really hot out and we wanted coffee and dessert. Our server said we can sit anywhere we wanted , we had already seen what we wanted in the dessert case, the raspberry shine cheesecake. Picked our coffees , I went with the cappuccino and my friend had the mocha chino . The barista who was so sweet asked us if we'd had the Turkish coffee before and we said no, so she served us up some with a little Turkish delight sample too. Rich and dark is how I'd describe it , not for the light coffee drinkers, this packs a punch. Really liked it. She also said in turkey after you finish your coffee there is a sludge of grounds left at the bottom of the cup which there was, she said you can have your fortune read from those grounds and how the place in the cup, you have to turn the cup upside for in the saucer and let it sit awhile then flip it over, she was able to read a little as she had said she had been taught how to, she did get some things right in her readings! She also said you can take a picture of the grounds and put it in chatgpt to get a better reading! So I did, it was interesting for sure. Kinda a fun thing to do as well. My cappuccino was positively weak in comparison to the Turkish coffee, Still good though. Was perfect with the cheesecake, which was creamy and had a chocolate crumble in the middle, loved the raspberry flavor and the crust was really good too. Not a heavy stodgy cheesecake, this was much lighter. Perfect afternoon coffee accompaniment. We loved this place! So glad we discovered it, would love to come back and try some of their dinner plates. Great service and just a nice space, it's always nice to come across these local places.

I did find that the beef in my beef kebab platter was a tad on the dry side, but it still had good flavor. I was surprised the rice was simply just rice with no adornments but it was decidedly very plain compared to other rice side dishes I've had at Mediterranean restaurants. The staff is incredible. They took care of us, made sure we had plenty of water for the table and checked on us frequently. I hear their coffee is outstanding although it was too late in the afternoon for me to try it without being up half the night because of caffeine intake, so I'll have to try that another time. I will definitely return and try a couple of other things on the menu including their pastries

But the moment you…read morewalk 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!!

Stopped by here after searching for a coffee place I haven't been to yet…read more 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.

They also make shakes, sundaes, ice cream sandwiches and have toppings. There are nicer places but this worked location wise for us.
