“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!“

“The coffee always tastes great, and the quality is consistently good every time. The customer service is also excellent and friendly. I just wish they would consider offering light sandwiches and a few more snack options. Overall, a great place for coffee and a quick stop!“

“Went her for a birthday breakfast for my son's 17th birthday! It was great! The food and drinks were amazing! The staff was very nice and welcoming! We will definitely be back!“

“I've had matcha twice and hated it both times. I went to Gotcha Matcha today after a recommendation from the receptionist at our dentist office. I thought I better learn to at least tolerate it before we hit Japan. Well, apparently my love of coconut makes matcha WONDEFUL! Eric was working the counter and I could totally hang out with that guy all day! SUPER helpful, knowledable and friendly ❤️“

“This place is amazing! They have unique coffee and chai offerings. They have a great selection of pastries and drinks. I got the iced Chai and a cookie. My wife got a caramel latte and a cruffin (croissant + muffin). We both really enjoyed our visit. All things are homemade and hard to find. Even the bathroom had luxurious tiling.“

“Great people with great drinks!“

“I love this place! Such eclectic choices but so good! Today I had a mango latte and it was so good! Their coffee has a bit of a tang to it and I think they used mango nectar or something similar instead of syrup. Truly so good if you’re into fruity coffee. My favorite thing I’ve had from there! The people are also always so cool who work here.“

“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.“

“I am big on supporting Black Owned businesses. We were in Charlotte and googled black-owned coffee shops. Lottie’s was a great find. The atmosphere was great. I had the avocado toast with the Blueberry pancake iced latte. My husband had the breakfast sandwich and an iced latte. Both of us were very pleased with our orders, which came out quickly. Everyone was very friendly.“

“This was a first experience for me with The Salty Donut. My office does a monthly birthday celebration for everyone who has a birthday that month, so we decided to do a breakfast celebration. I plugged in donut places near our office in ChatGPT, and The Salty Donut was one of them. I took a look at their website and what they have to offer and was very impressed. I loved their variety, so we decided to go with them. We had them delivered, and the driver was right on time. She was very friendly & professional. Everyone in the office LOVED them. I had people tell me that they were the BEST donuts they had ever had!
To wrap it up in two words: RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!
We'll be ordering from them again for sure.“

“I went to Foxcroft to get my haircut and of course I went to Caribou. The staff was friendly and we talked about the Park Road shopping center store that closed recently. I work at Park Road shopping center and I miss my Caribou coffee shop tremendously. My daughter and I used to go when it first opened many years ago. It is greatly missed.“

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

“After a little Lang Van went here for coffee and a chat with a friend. We enjoyed the convo with Mason and learning more about their community involvement and the vibe they’re crafting. A gentleman was tickling his guitar in a beautiful way that created a great backdrop for convo along with the garden. And of course our coffee was really good. I ordered the Japanese coffee with the coffee ice cubes and oatmilk with a dash of simple syrup and it was perfect!“

“We came for Wine Wednesday and to celebrate a professional achievement, and we got sat with Hillary. 10/10. She had amazing recommendations, great vibes and the food was delicious.

Highly recommend“

“Super yummy food! Great variety of flavors! Cream cheeses are delish! But limited places to actually eat. It's not a full service place, if you're looking for that. Just fyi. Our order was shorted 2 bagels but they made it right immediately. We will be back! This is def a take out place.“
