spent some time in Charlotte the other day and decided to check out this little cafe for a quick…read morelunch. While I looked online I was surprised to learn that this place tries to stay in touch with their South American roots, so obviously I wanted to try it out! On the menu I saw plenty of drinks from coffees to matchas to chais and lemonades as well. Apart from that there were other options like baked goods and sandwiches. Once I got there the place was actually very packed but there was still plenty of room as well. There was also an outside patio for those who wish to sit outside rather than inside. The vibe was giving woodsy and green. So it felt very bright and welcoming in the shop. The staff was nice and took care of me quickly. I ended up ordering their pesto flatbread. It took a couple of minutes for me to get my order but nothing too long. The flatbread was overall really good. It had arugula, pesto, cheese, prosciutto, and cherry tomatoes on top. It was very filling as well. I would def recommend this place if you're in the Charlotte area! I will say that the prices might not be the "cheapest" but I think it's worth it.

There is also outdoor seating available. They can easily accommodate small and large groups. The staff is friendly and the facility is very clean. Breakfast and lunch are served all day. My toddlers loved the macaroons. I tried the chai tea latte. It was made pretty quickly and tasted great. The chocolate Chip cookie was absolutely perfect. It was soft in the middle with just a little bit crunch on the edges. I also had the club sandwich. It was much bigger than I expected and very filling. The indoor playground was awesome. My kiddos had a great time. My only request is for a little more seating for parents. There were several of us who were just standing around.

Even though it was buzzing on a Saturday morning with a lively, active crowd, we had no trouble grabbing a table to sit and hang out. Parking wise, I lucked out with a street spot near Taco Boy, but it's super convenient since it's right by the Scaleybark station. Honestly, if I lived in the apartments directly connected to this place, I'd be completely broke. Absolute gem!

I really enjoyed the coffee, the staff, the "bragles". But all good things come to an end. Unless…read moreyou go on a day that has a special you end up spending ~$10 for a large coffee with oatmilk. The last few times the coffee tasted burnt - okay, I can give them the benefit of the doubt they were just having a bad day. The bragles started tasting more microwaved, thrown inside a horrible tinfoil wrap so it's soggy and chewy and boiling hot. This last visit sealed the deal - I'll never go back and I hope you consider your options before going. My husband went to pick us up 2 large coffees with oatmilk (I have a dairy intolerance and whole milk KILLS me, I'm also breastfeeding my 2 month old daughter who has a dairy intolerance as well) and a turkey havarti bragle. It was $25!!!! I have 1/4 of my coffee and a few bites of bagel before I can tell something isn't right. The coffee was definitely made with whole milk, but even more than that I was VIOLENTLY ill. My husband calls the store to talk with a manager about the coffee being made wrong. They said "sorry, there's not a manager here, we can't tell if the coffee was made with whole milk or oatmilk because we all collectively make the coffees together so there's no way to tell, come back tomorrow to get a new coffee" I spent the day in the bathroom - again with a newborn and 2 toddlers who need their mom at 100%. I call the next day hoping to speak to a manager, I get the same "there's no manager on duty" I told them I thought I had food poisoning and wanted a refund and to speak with someone. The kid suggested I go to "biggby dot com and fill out a complaint because that would be quicker". I told him I'd prefer he write down my information because I'm a mom of 3 and I have food poisoning - I don't need to hunt down an email to speak to someone about getting a refund. (Hindsight he never shared my information because I never got a call) I ended up going online to fill out a complaint. Got the full run around, the owner reached out and apologized - asking questions about the visit and then radio silence for 5 days. I reached back out appalled it had taken almost a week to hear back. The owner got an attitude - saying they had a family emergency and they would refund me. TLDR: go literally anywhere else for coffee, you'll save money and you won't get the wrong type of milk in your coffee.

We have never had a bad meal here. The food and drinks are all cooked to order. The inside is…read morenicely decorated, and there are plenty of seats. You order first, then you take your seat. They do bring the food out to you. The service has always been really great. We really have never had an issue. The really nice part is the Pho is gluten free so it's a pretty easy choice especially once the weather gets a little chilly. I love the Korean corn dogs. The Hot Cheetos option is my favorite. It is cooked to order. I always get a nice cheese pull. It's not spicy but does have good Cheetos flavor. We love a good Boba so we like to get the blended frozen mango one and it is top-tier! Everyone who works here is super friendly and they answer questions if you have them. when you pay, you can either pay with cash or card. If you pay with cash, it is a little cheaper, so just keep that in mind. Absolutely recommend!

Reason I'm giving it 4 stars is the noodle bowl lacked depth of flavor and the beef was kind of tough. Not the best I've had but I'd maybe come back and order something else. Their mochi donuts and boba all look good! Iced viet coffee was good, but again, have had better.

The service was pretty quick for how busy it was. I'm giving a 4/5 because I wouldn't necessarily come here to study or read a book. It's definitely more of a chatty, crowded, come with friends spot. Super crowded and a little overwhelming, which makes sense since there are a bunch of shops and restaurants around here.

I'll give the service a pass because everytime I go here the coffee is always good, no complaints about milk ratio, sweetness, etc it's good every time! I would give the food especially the breakfast sandwich a 7/10. The breakfast sandwich is rather small and it's $7 or $8. It's yummy but it's not very filling. It's easy to get to especially with how crazy south end can get! Lots of parking available most of the time but it's also very easy to walk to and there isn't normally a line even early in the morning. If there is it's normally just a few people and your coffee is ready in 10 mins or less!

It definitely felt like a spot with a lot of regulars, which is always nice to see, and the overall vibe was very family-oriented and welcoming. One person handled both my order and preparation, and he was kind and friendly, especially once I started the conversation. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and loved that I could choose the bread. I went with the croissant, and it was a great choice. The sandwich was toasted, really good and filling. For my drink, I had the Cinnamon Toast latte/Americano Macchiato with oat milk, and it was delicious. Flavorful without being overly sweet and very well balanced. A couple small things worth noting: when I tried to use the restroom, both were locked, which was a little inconvenient. Also, the napkins available were the small coffee-style ones, and I definitely needed a few more for the sandwich. Overall, this was a solid stop with good food, a comforting atmosphere, and friendly service. If I'm in the area again, I'd come back to try more items on the menu.
