    Yum the vanilla coffee beer
    Wendy J.

    The best vanilla coffee beer hands down the bar tender super nice and the chicken sandwich crazy good

    Deedrah B.

    I came here for trivia on Tuesday at 7pm with a group of friends. We sat at a high top and enjoyed a variety of drinks - beers, cocktails etc as well as some delicious food (tacos, burgers, chicken tenders). I enjoyed the tacos and I tried some of the tenders - piping hot, plenty of dipping sauces, and a generous side of fries. Trivia was great - a bit on the longer end (2+ hours) but the host did a good job keeping everyone engaged and entertained. It was quite crowded, I think over 20 teams, so there must be a good base of regulars here. Service was super friendly, food was delivered quickly, and it was unanimous that we would return both for trivia and for the atmosphere/environment. There is some street parking right out front a lot of metered spaces and lots nearby. @azfitfoodfun

    Came here for breakfast so didn't drink beer but had an amazing hazelnut latte and the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit that I had will rank among the finest I've ever tasted. I'm still dreaming about that biscuit that was so fluffy and had just a hint of saltiness on the top of it. There are lots of tables and comfy chairs on the breakfast side of the place. Staff was friendly and the place was very clean. I'm a fan.

    Cute little brewery right uptown Charlotte. Great variety of beers on tap and friendly staff. Big indoor and outdoor seating area. Dill pickle deviled eggs!!!

    I had a great lunch here with a friend recently. This was my first time trying Wooden Robots food. I was here coworking with a friend unexpectedly because the first place we went was having some really loud repair work. So we just walked down here and there was plenty of seating inside and outside. First we sat outside but moved inside looking for outlets for our laptops and there really weren't any outlet options at all. We lucked up with one near their freezer, but people kept going in and out of it unfortunately. The food was great! I ordered some wings and a salad. Both were pretty tasty and I would definitely go back.

    Love this brewery! I've been both during the day and evening/ night and it's such different vibes but so fun regardless of when you go and the vibes match the time of day!!! It's so hard to park in south end so I love that they have a small lot across the street for free parking. At night, they have the outdoor area and inside beer garden open. There are lots of TVs with sports, plenty of drink options and a full menu. During the day, the left side of the brewery is open. It's smaller but plenty of seating. Not a great place to work from as it was loud, but plenty of people there for a coffee/lunch break from work. You can obviously order beer but they also have a full coffee menu and their full food menu as well. The coffee was pretty good! The salad was pretty basic but still good. Love the vibes!!!!

    Fried chicken sandwich with fries
    Jessica K.

    This was a nice place to stop for lunch and a drink. You order at the counter, and I got the chicken sandwich with a half order of fries. I got the sandwich plain and it still had some great flavor. The fries were very good as well. For my drink I got the prickly pear sour, which was good. We parked on the street nearby, which wasn't too hard to do in the middle of a Friday afternoon. My dad said the burger was interesting. It definitely had a good flavor but didn't exactly taste like beef. Use that info how you want when deciding what to get to eat.

    Love the ambiance and the wooden robot sculpture at the front of the brewery. All the beers I had were really good. They definitely know how to do a dark lager. Bartender was so friendly and patient. He made great recommendations for everyone in our group

    Matcha latte and Pine Nut's latte.
    Celian O.

    Pros: - service was pretty quick - the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit was good, well seasoned - the matcha latte was a lot better than I expected and the Pine Nut's latte was yummy too Cons: - none I could really think of Comments: - went right when it opened, wasn't super busy, but customers were definitely coming in and out - there's a lot of seating, I like the aesthetic and ambiance of the place, very chill and relaxing

    Wow what a place. One of the coolest spots I visited in Charlotte coupled with some of the nicest people. Who would've thought the best coffee in Charlotte is coming out of a brewery. These people really know what they're doing and really care about putting out the best product possible. I was able to chat with them and they were super passionate about finding the best coffees to serve as well as serving it the best they can. The barista made sure that my shot was perfectly dialed before serving me. The coffee was very good, and was easily the best coffee I had in Charlotte. I made sure to grab one to go. There was also tons of seating and a very comfortable space to hangout. Can't wait to visit again and hopefully try even more of their stuff! Thanks!

    Came here for a date night and had a great time! There's 2-hour free street parking if you're lucky--first come, first serve. Otherwise, the nearby lot is $18 flat via app. It wasn't too crowded, and we walked right up to the bar to sample some beers. The beer names were super fun--my fave name was "I'll have what she's having." I went with Spring Fling. Light and tasty! Food rotates seasonally. My partner got a burger, and I had the pita falafel--both solid picks. Food came out fast and we just grabbed a number after ordering at the bar. What I loved most? The music was chill--not too loud inside or out. We could actually talk! We sat outside, enjoyed the breeze, and counted seven dogs on the patio. So fun. Cashing out was quick and easy. All in all, a relaxed and fun spot. Would totally come back!

    Get your passport ready for these flights. About $17 and worth every penny and drop. We ordered 2 flights and got to taste 10/15 flavors of beer. Loved it!! Espresso martini was strong but tasty.

    Awesome indoor and outdoor space. A solid menu of in-house brewed beers. Great offerings of food. And a staff that's second to none!! Bring your friends. Bring your dog. Hell!! Being your mom!! Just hurry down to Wooden Robot. You'll be happy you did!!!

I had recently tried this drink at another Haraz location and loved it so much that I officially considered myself a matcha drinker. When I received my drink, I noticed it looked much pinker than it had at the other locations I'd visited. I assumed it had just been mixed and that the usual layers of matcha, strawberry, and whipped cloud had blended together, so I didn't think much of it. However, after taking my first sip in the car, it immediately tasted like strawberry milk. Since I was on my way to work, I kept drinking it, expecting the matcha flavor to come through, but it never did. It was disappointing because the drink was nothing like the one I've had several times at other Haraz locations. I hope this location places an emphasis on training and consistency so the drinks meet the same standard as the rest of the Haraz locations. On a positive note, the staff members were kind, welcoming, and greeted me as soon as I walked in.

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.

I got a Mango Milk Tea and was not disappointed. It gave a Mango Lassi vibe and was very refreshing. My only downside was the bottom of the drink tasted gritty and had a white residue left at the bottom. Also, I initially wanted the drink with light ice and this was my first encounter at a shop that charges extra for light ice (45 cents). Not a huge deal and I understand that companies incur more costs for light ice or no ice. Maybe I could justify the additional charge for getting the drink without ice, but I still wanted ice---just not a lot of it. I just would've like to have been told about it or seen some signage about the additional charge since the toppings and other add ons are listed out. I could've missed where it was listed out, but I don't think I saw anything written out. Nonetheless, after a few healthy gulps, I was sad that the drink was gone. I would come back to try other items.

The atmosphere was nice, it has the "work on your laptop or catch up with friends" cafe vibe. Somewhere you can hang for several hours and sip and coffee as you work/talk. I don't think I was the target demographic for this cafe sadly. I ordered a BE&C on a bagel. I originally had planned to go to a more "bagel-focused" shop, but they were closed. That's where I feel I was not the target demographic; I was looking to just order a bagel on my morning commute. I should have noticed the atmosphere/vibe of the cafe and realized that this was not going to be fast. It ended up taking over 30 minutes from the time I paid to the time I got my food (genuinely, I looked at the time my credit card was swiped and compared it to the time it was when I got my food). Now, I will say, if I had ordered coffee and brought a book, the wait probably wouldn't have been too much of a bother. The staff was really friendly, and the bathrooms were also very clean! The bagel was not my favorite bagel, but it was on par for a non-bagel-focused coffee shop. It wasn't bad by any means, but I would not order it if you were wanting "real" bagel. Edit: owner made a good point regarding the wait and was correct that I did not notice the disclaimer regarding the wait! I updated the rating to reflect my newer perspective.

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.
