Great coffee. Nice people and the place has a rustic/chill vibe. Cold brew on tap. One of the top coffee spots in Charlotte for sure.

Real laid back vibe. Service isn't the quickest, but the coffee is great. Not very loud on a busy Sunday afternoon-great place to study. The ham and pepper jack quiche is amazing.

If you want in on Charlotte's coffee scene, put on your best pair of skinny jeans and new shoes that look old and watch the city's best baristas battle it out at the Thursday Night Throwdown. Read more

If you like spice, try the Level 7 spicy mocha. It's a good hear and interesting combo!

If you're not coming here on a regular basis, two things: 1. You should 2. You don't need more than one reason. It's local, King of Pops hangs out in the parking lot and they do a wicked Cold Brew.

If you get here early enough and can get the cinnamon bun along w/ an Americano, get it. It's good enough to make you cry.

Whomever said breakfast casserole and vanilla late- THANK YOU. It was awesome, and the van latte was soooooo smooooooth- not too sweet as they sometimes are.

Ask the baristas for a suggestion if you don't know what you want, don't see it or are adventurous.

Stop and try a vanilla latte or almond mocha. Take time to sit by the fire too - if you can get a seat there!
