I’ve been staying In Elizabeth this summer for my job and this place has been a highlight for me. I look forward to visiting most mornings and walking around the gorgeous neighborhood it’s nestled in. Great neighborhood coffee shop. Also the chocolate chip cookies are excellent.

Probably the coffee house I frequent most for all of the above. Everyone is so nice and their breakfast sandwiches and coffee are so good!

I’ve been going here for years - not frequently, but at least every couple months - ever since they opened. For the first time, I’m considering not returning. The cashier didn’t offer a smile, or respond to anything I said besides my order. I did not feel welcome at all.

I’m glad we’re recognizing the humanity of all workers, and some grace for an off day is a beautiful thing - but they chatted with others, said hello or goodbye to regulars - so it didn’t feel like that was the issue. They barely acknowledged me, and didn’t reply or smile when I tried to make small talk.

If you work with the public, you do have a responsibility there - your interactions with people have an impact. They can lift someone up, or cause them to feel like they were intruding. Today, I was treated like an intruder.

Love the coffee, but the customer service needs an overhaul!
The last few times I've visited, I barely got a thank you. Yesterday (3/8), the barista just slammed the drink in front of me, and when I said thank you, he barely let out a grunt. Another time, my drink wasn't how I wanted it, they did remake it, however they were not happy about it. Again, my drink was slammed on the counter and not one courteous word was spoken back to me.
I truly think Central Coffee has some of the best coffee/espresso drinks in Charlotte. But, not sure if its worth me visiting as often with the treatment I've received lately. Its quite uncomfortable. Staff definitely could be friendlier and more courteous.

Just Your Friend

Ahhhh-mazing lowkey chill vibe. I usually go to Haraz on central ave but today they were busy and the music was loud. Luckily just litera around the corner I found this gem aka “my new spot.” They have music playing low in the background which is a necessity, expresso + more, and plenty of nice seating. There are two friendly ladies serving the cup of joe and pleasantries. I asked for permission to record and post and here we are. I asked for a shot of expresso, but I like it sweet, can we do almond milk on the side? The expresso with VANILLA and side of almond milk are pictured below… Now to get off google and study hahaha #stayblessed

I’ve been going to this local coffee shop for a while. Today they were rude as I was picking up a coffee to go with a 7lb emotional support dog in my arms and said I had to leave the dog outside in the 20° weather. Not friendly to the neighborhood walkers.
