Suggestions for Cafe, Coffee, and Tea House near Optimist Park, Charlotte

Elysha J. • September 29, 2015Great environment. TONS of seating...just keep walking back. The lemon raspberry tart is to die for.

Rich W. • April 1, 2022Awesome little place in Noda. Awesome bottle shop with a great tap list. Coffee is amazing too.

Jeff B. • December 11, 2019Nice big space with good coffee, good, tables, couches, armchairs, fast Wi-Fi, and power outlets. Wi-Fi password is “staygrounded”. No truly free parking but they validate for 90 min in the garage.

Jeff B. • December 3, 2019Good, relaxed spot to get some work done. Used to also be a Trade & Lore (a coffee shop). They still serve coffee until 4. Wi-Fi password is “coffeebeer”. Power outlets available.

Anthony G. • March 30, 2014Great 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.

Daniel J. • May 18, 2012Great coffee! Uses the pour over method which leaves the coffee with a smoother taste. Friendly staff who is more than happy to help

Clay H. • November 23, 2009A cup of coffee and the apple crumble cheesecake are a match made in heaven!

Charlese C. • February 11, 2012Great homestyle meals that will fill you up. Different menu by day of the week. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my favorites. Fried Squash in an amazing batter both days.

Jeff B. • March 26, 2019Bright space with great coffee and a few food items in a cool neighborhood. Soft seating by the large front windows as well as big tables next to power outlets. Wi-Fi password is “ilikeyoualatte”.

Lydia M. • March 27, 2014Highly recommend Twisted Chix! So healthy and so delicious!!!

Rebecca A. • March 23, 2014Try this healthy modification: Get their Druthers Clucker sandwich as a breakfast omelet using regular grilled chicken (not chipotle). SUPER delicious with bonus protein!

Jeff B. • September 28, 2021Would be a fan if the Wi-Fi at Optimist Hall weren’t terrible. Can’t even connect sometimes. Connection drops other times. Also, the music in the patio is way too loud.

JustKdot • August 5, 2014They have an amazing team here! Their delivery time as well as their service is superior! Make sure you stop by when you're in the uptown area.

Edward B. • May 30, 2014The Ham Pretzel roll is a great snack to end the work day with!

Benjamin B. • September 7, 2011Great atmosphere. Good food. Try the Betsys Buffalo Wrap.

Japhy • March 2, 2012Only place you can get fresh brewed Peet's around downtown.

Kimberly W. • May 18, 2012Nice view of Uptown outside. My daughter is in love with the strawberry cheesecake ice cream.

Phoenix J. • September 18, 2014Nice staff, line moves pretty quickly. Not sure whose idea it was to put the stairs to upstairs right in front of the Starbucks register though

Nikki P. • April 20, 2018It’s got this very unique, gothic vibe. There’s even a hidden door in one of the walls. Oh & the drinks are great 👻

Bruce • October 15, 2014Any of the breakfast items, and everything else

Jeff B. • December 5, 2022Good coffee, graphic design, interior design, and fast Wi-Fi. My only gripe is there’s not a lot of seating and it’s not comfortable if you’re trying to work for more than an hour. No power outlets.
