50 Best Coffee Shops in Charlotte

“the pistachio baklava latte was so good. TK is everything you could want in a proprietor ( friendly! helpful! generous!) I found this beloved neighborhood coffeehouse by looking online. I wanted somewhere I would feel comfortable lounging ( comfortable chairs and various rooms/spaces, warm, good zibe) and working. I was not looking for a sleek sterile coffeehouse. I loved it that people can draw or write on the walls and that even though this was done with sharpies, I didn't see any evidence of ill will or critiquing if others. I was offered a sharpie myself not long after I arrived. what a great place! I'll be back whenever I pass through Charlotte. did I mention that the pistachio baklava latte was delicious? real pistachios! just right sweetness.“

“Not just another coffee place. What an incredible experience that touches your soul.“

“She was the nicest barista I’ve ever met, her shop was so well decorated and interesting I could stay there for hours. Her collection of important pieces of history, as well as her amazing coffee made my day. I would highly recommend for others to support her business.“

“I hosted a baby shower for my daughter-in-law at Provided Coffee Concord this past Saturday. It was wonderful, from the atmosphere to the amazing coffee and gracious staff. All of our guests couldn’t stop raving about your adorable shop. Thank you Provided, you made the day perfect!!“

“Give yourself the gift of excellent service and delicious coffee in an accommodating space! Our barista, Emily, created a very special beverage for me balancing espresso with chai and matcha! It was divine!!!“

“This was my first time visiting but will definitely come back ! Delicious ☕️☕️☕️“

“Such a cute coffee shop. I got the caramel latte and unfortunately spilled most of it as I sat down at the table. Laura at the counter was so sweet and made me another one even though I said she didn’t have to because I felt so bad for making a mess. The drink was delicious and the service was awesome.“

“Although we arrived within the last hour before the store closed, the doughnut was absolutely delicious. The young man at the counter was still gracious enough to serve us even though we interrupted their closing duties. We got the White Chocolate Pistachio and it was fantastic! I can't wait to return to try many of the other offerings.“

“I am an Argentina native and was so excited to find out about this place. The medialunas are amazing ! the dough of the empanadas are 10/10 but I feel the empanada filling is overwhelmed by cumin. If it didn't have cumin, I feel like they would even be better than my mom's!“

“What a gem! In house drip of the day was perfectly hot and deliciously brewed. A must try- the everything savory danish. I absolutely loved the self service station to heat my pastry and doctor my coffee as I like. I’m excited to try the freshly ground for me bag of beans I chose to take home. It’s a pleasure to support a local and small business. Bonus: if you can’t make it in person, they do Friday deliveries! A must try for sure!“

“Thank you so much to Ms Stacey and her mother for hosting our Chocolate Milk Cafe' family meet up today! We had such a great turn out, and Grow Cafe' is such a beautiful concept that accommodates the needs of parents and children to have a safe place to play and fellowship!“

“Love this place and it is considered one of my favorites. I will make it a point to drive there at least once a month since I am 21/2 hours away. Sadly, Tous les Jours doesn't want to make a satellite home here in Chapin SC. They would definitely knock the socks off any place here.“

“Visited thousand hills yesterday (Sunday July 13) at around 11am for the 1st ever.

When we walked in, there was an event going on with a full on DJ & a photographer. I was surprised but it was a nice surprise. Found out that this type of event happens twice a month.

Line was long but moving quickly. I got an iced vanilla latte with cold foam & it was SO good. I would recommend & I’ll be back again!“

“I love this spot. Welcoming, trendy(but not contrived), nice selection of wines and treats. Great place to WFH during the week, with ample space to sit and lovely spot for off-duty hangs as well. The coffee is great and staff are super friendly.“

“Great people with great drinks!“

“Best Java Chip Frappe I have ever had! We will absolutely be back to this coffee shop!“

“Potato hash bowl with bacon and avocado is delicious“

“I love this place .. the pineapple cake was soo soo good!! wow 👌. I am coming back tomorrow !!“

“Solid coffee spot. There’s a decent amount of space inside, but it does get packed. Parking’s easy plenty of spots which makes it convenient. I grabbed an iced vanilla latte it was good, not my favorite, but solid. 4/5. I’ll need to come back and try the food.“

“great band, great coffee and scone, and terrific atmosphere“

“I’m not a coffee drinker so I can’t speak on how good theirs is, however I did have their teas and was very pleased. This location is very serene. I enjoyed looking at their collections of books while my tea was brewing. My interaction with the lady at the register was also pleasant. Will return.“

“The Monroe Rd location just opened a few weeks ago, and I’ve been there several times already. Great coffee, great service, and the nicest people!“

“Mugs Coffee is an absolute gem! I stopped by before work, and from the moment I walked in, the welcoming vibe set the tone for a great morning. The host greeted me with a warm smile, making me feel like a regular. I tried their Bonfire Latte, and it was incredible—rich, slightly smoky, with just the right hint of sweetness. It’s clear they put a lot of thought into their flavors. The atmosphere was relaxed, with a mix of cozy seating and ambient lighting, making it perfect for unwinding or even getting a bit of work done. I’ll definitely be going back!“

“One of my kiddos’ favorite donut spots! We love the flavors but more importantly their service is second to none. Stopped in yesterday for some birthday donuts and the sweet man behind the counter gave us 2 for free. So sad their storefront will be closing but can’t wait to continue to support Jasmine and team on their next venture!“

“Love the coffee. Got a Chai tea latte. Was super. Love the atmosphere of this Caribou off of Fairview road. I only wish there were more caribou's I missed the one that Sardis Road North. Their coffee is definitely a step above Starbucks taste“

“Ooommmmggggg, if you haven't eaten here, you are missing out. The service is great, the pastries are to die for, and the sandwiches are filled with so much flavor! We just ate here for lunch and I'm already looking forward to going back.“

“I came in to get a gift card for a colleague and decided to give it a try. Compared to Starbucks, I enjoyed Summit Coffee so much more. I had a vanilla mocha and coffee cake. The coffee was excellently brewed, a great taste without all the sugar and syrups that SB adds to their coffee. Their menu options are pretty good, including different coffees, pastries, and other drink options. It is fairly small on the inside of the shop, but their patio area is nice and gives more room. This will be my new coffee spot!“

“Expert and polite service“

“Amazing coffee with an amazing atmosphere..and to top it off, they have a. Indoor playground for the kiddos“

“Summit Coffee in SouthPark was an excellent venue for our daughter’s bridal shower. The staff went above and beyond in kindness and helpfulness.“

“Loved my Cobb salad! The dressings are also delicious and homemade!! Highly recommended!“

“MaryGrace is so lovely and made my day. She is such a class act! It is because of your epic staff, LGBTQIA support, your perfect working space, the vibe, all of it is just right! As a broker, it is a wonderful place to meet with my mentor and meet with clients! Great wifi, friendly staff that's like family, and I just love being there and plan on coming in soon!“

“Donuts, ice cream, coffee, breakfast sandwiches. Everything you need in the morning. (Or anytime) Staff is super friendly and helpful too“

“I will definitely be visiting Rally again and again. The entire facility is beautiful and was just an overall great atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food and drinks were very tasty and visually pleasing.“

“Spacious and quiet cafe attached to some office building. Tried their snickerdoodle (pictured after stirring) and paradise lattes, both very good. Snickerdoodle has the caramel like and chocolate flavors, whereas paradise is also sweetened with a purple foam flavor on top. I don’t know if it’s ube or lavender. Both good depending on your taste but I was more partial to the Snickerdoodle. Anyhow good options as seen on the menu. I would definitely come back to try something else.“
