50 Best Coffee Shops in Charlotte

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

“Wonderful service! The coffee and food was amazing! Breakfast burrito for the win. So good!“

“I’d give 10 stars for atmosphere if I could. This isn’t a typical coffee house. There are so many nostalgic pieces from the 80s-90s that take you down memory lane. The music and design layout is such a chill vibe you could see yourself hanging out for an hour or so.Definitely,come visit Archive☕️✊🏾💕“

“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!“

“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!“

“You gotta love a good coffee spot. Stopped by for a quick break. Ordered the Pumpkin spice latte which consisted of a balance of flavors, very delicious. My husband ordered the Pumpkin spice Aerocano which was packed with medium strong coffee and a perfect amount of pumpkin flavor. We also ordered a few sweet treats. The Honey layer cake wasn’t as expected it needs more honey but it is light and airy. The Lemon cheesecake wasn’t so elegant with a mouth full of lemon flavors, tastes like a lemon cookie or lemon curd. The Hazelnut dream was our least favorite it was beyond blend no flavor, no hazelnut, and had a medicine taste. And last but not least we ordered the Yemen chocolate which was absolutely delicious, nice chocolate layers, crunchy and packed with pistachio and chocolate flavors. Bottom layered with a brownie. Overall, I would definitely come here again. The stuff was friendly and very informative on the menu, the food was perfection and the coffee is what brings this place together.“

“Great people with great drinks!“

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

“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!“

“Stopped by in between work events at a nearby hotel. Well worth the walk and effort to the find the storefront (the side of the parking garbage building directly across the street from the Marriott). Got a spinach and cheese pastry and a cortado. Both were tasty but the cortado was so good I made a conscious effort to savor each sip slowly.“

“I absolutely loved this place. The concept is beautiful, the coffee is excellent, and the food was surprisingly delicious. Everything feels thoughtfully designed and welcoming.

If you’re looking for a place to have a business meeting or a small gathering, they also have a private room you can reserve, which makes it even more convenient.

Definitely a spot where you won’t go wrong bringing clients or friends. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“This is my go to spot for coffee. They are lightening fast with making coffee. Never have any issues. Hailey and the girls are all sweethearts. If I spilled coffee all over my clothes, I'm sure they would make me a new one and give me a Caribou Coffee shirt to wear instead of a shirt with coffee all over it. See you soon!“

“Not only is the coffee absolutely to die for, the pistachio cronut is by far the single best pastry I've enjoyed in my 34 years on this planet.

The space is lovely, comfortable and the aesthetic is very authentic. The servers are extremely friendly and informative. Additionally, in the back, they offer free copies of the Quran translated to English and Spanish for any customers interested in learning more about the religion of Islam.

Wonderful experience through and through, highly recommended.“

Absolutely lives up to the name! Beyond Amazing Donuts is hands-down one of the best spots in Charlotte. The energy, the people, the freshness—everything just feels right the moment you walk in. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in every bite and every smile. A total vibe and an instant mood-booster. Truly beyond amazing! 🍩🔥“

“Good coffee! Really enjoyed the lattes. My favorite is the sugar daddy.“

“Had a lovely rosemary honey oatmilk latte, and was able to do some much needed planning in this inspiring place!“

“So neat that they had soy milk as an option — I hope they keep it! Tried the golden milk latte which was made with homemade syrup, and I appreciated that they didn’t steam the milk too hot. Staff were super nice which added to the experience.“

“First time there for breakfast. We don't usually go out for breakfast. We were seated immediately. Great waitress. Very interesting menu. Not exotic but right down my alley. Food came out hot. The only thing I did not like was the water. No ice, small glass and a small pitcher on the table. I like lots of ice and a big glass. Food was very good.“

“Expert and polite service“

“Limited donuts but great flavors! Ordered a brown butter 🧈🤎 donut which was truly amazing; it's a semi-dry almost biscuit-like base with a to-die-for glaze, YUM, perfect with coffee.

Also ordered a strawberry 🍓 speciality donut, missed the name but was pretty much an apple fritter. Love the idea but a bit too sweet, wouldn't order that one again personally!

Staff shoutout: there were two rude ladies in front of me, rude to the other guests, the cashier, and the server - both employees remained very kind and honestly went above in service to make them happy.“

“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!“

“Expert and polite service“

“Found this place and never went back to any coffee place only thing i will say is morning shift seems to rush a little bit more then afternoon which is great but everytime my order has been wrong . my cream cheese is forgotten everytime and my drink isn’t correct in the mornings .. still all wonderful products but nobody likes a dry bagel when they get to work 😭 staff is always so sweet as well ! never have any issues other then this“
