I loved the decor and the staff was great as well. We stopped here after dinner on our way back to the convention we were attending. I got some treats to enjoy back at the hotel...I ordered the Biscoff cheesecake, lemon bar, pecan and key lime tart....all were delightful by the way!

I've seen Romeo and Juliet Brazilian Cafe on the Goodiebag app several times. Then I saw a TikTok…read morefor them and I was intrigued. So the next time I saw them on Goodiebag I jumped. When I went to redeem my Goodiebag offer the guy working the counter was amazing. I got there very close to closing and he was so sweet. He went into the counter and filled our bag was savory treats. There was around 7/8 items in the bag. Everything he put in the bag was a surprise to us. We noticed a few of the names but they looked alike in the bag. Now we had 2 with hamburger meat/ground beef. They were our favorites. One had ham and cheese and one had corn and cheese. Both were delicious. Small round cheese breads were very chewy. Our least favorite was the hot dog but it wasn't terrible. We opted to get a sweet treat also and loved it also. It was a milk and coconut twisted bread. All in all I was super impressed with what we got and all the delicious flavors. We split the goodie bag items between 3 people and were very satisfied. Romeo and Juliet Brazilian Cafe 1605 Galleria Blvd Ste 105 Charlotte, NC 28270 (Review 16 in 2024 and 816 overall)

This is a really special place with so many amazing and delicious treats sweet and savory meats no…read moremeets flans chocolates pastries so much to choose from. I always get the flan it is the best in the state BUT it is not consistent unfortunately and is expensive I keep buying as most of the time it is amazing but when it is not I have not eaten it or tossed it again unfortunate. I do love most of what I get and always try new things and you can fine inside and take tons to go. They have other interesting and international gourmet goodies to treat yourself to. I do wish that all counter staff could communicate in English as I ended up a few times with things I would not have ordered and it was due to miscommunication and again the price is expensive and worth it when on point. I do recommend this spot as there are many reasons to come just make sure you know what you are getting and see about samples maybe before. Cute space tons of parking and easy to access.

We went here during sunday brunch. There was no waiting when we go there so was seated right away…read more Menu has some really good options. Had to wait about 8-10 minutes before our server came to us and took drinks order. But after that she frequently checked on us. She also provided some suggestions from menu.

Not sure why there are so many bad reviews, but our experience was excellent--no complaints…read more We went at 10 a.m. on a Saturday. The restaurant was busy, but there was no wait, and we were seated immediately. Our server, Sada, was attentive and took our order within five minutes. The food arrived within ten minutes and was really good. I say "really good" instead of "great" because I've visited the original locations in New Orleans (Ruby Slipper), and you just can't beat food in NOLA. We ordered the same dishes we had there to make a fair comparison. I had the catfish and grits with a side of one cinnamon swirl pancake (a perfect combination) and iced coffee. My wife had the avocado toast--she said it tasted the same and loved that they cut the toast into four pieces here. My food tasted almost identical. I think the gravy here didn't have tasso and was a bit less seasoned (which isn't a bad thing, since dishes in New Orleans can sometimes be overseasoned). The pancake made me smile, and the iced coffee was good too. I'm happy to know I can get this meal anytime I'm in Charlotte. Ruby Sunshine is definitely at the top of my list for breakfast/brunch.

This French bakery is a hidden gem tucked away in southpark . I sat outside with my puppy. I had…read morethe blue matcha which was quite unique.

Chez Marie is a bright, charming little patisserie at one corner of Sharon Corners shopping center…read more The blue and white ambiance lends a decidedly French air to the place, with its half-dozen or so tables inside and another four or five outside. The inside was immaculate and beckoning, with a two-sided display of the offerings and a shining espresso machine behind the register. The workers bore welcoming smiles and a a polite, inviting nature. All of that is the reason I give this patisserie three stars instead of two. While some foods are still a mystery to me - barbecue I can just take or leave, mostly leave - I know coffee and I know baked goods. The croissant I sampled was dry, implying unkindly that the flaky pastry dough was either formerly frozen or not fresh, and while croissants aren't exactly the moistest pastry to be found, the idea behind making them is kneading and rolling in a lot of butter, which I truly could not taste. What a disappointment. And somehow, somehow, my latte, albeit freshly prepared before me, was lukewarm when I took my first sip on the way to the car. How is that even possible? At the last minute, I asked for caramel to be added to my drink, but that was imperceptible too. I'd forgotten to ask for it to be half sweet, so I guess that was a blessing in disguise. When you stop by a bakery late in the day you sort of pays your money and takes your chances, but I visited just before noon. No crowds either. Disappointing all around, though again, the ambiance invites lingering. Cute bistro, lovely people, but - and I cannot believe I'm saying this - I'd have done better at the nearby Starbucks if all I wanted to do was get a latte and pastry. As the French would say, domage.

As much as I want to drop 5 stars, there were just too many things that felt amiss. For one, I didn't get their "to-go" packaging...even for dine-in customers. It's as if they didn't want customers to dine in...despite the nice (ish?) decor. Reminded me of a recent experience at bb.q Chicken. What's up with all these restaurants with cheap "to-go" packaging? Guess more places are now going for a fast food eatery vibe...versus a nicer restaurant-cafe. Despite being somewhat nice, the place had a flat vibe. Something was missing...possibly some music? The service was also missing. The cashier was just not friendly at all. In fact, he looked pissed off for some reason. As much as I enjoyed the foods, I just felt that they could have done better. Luckily, the foods were good enough to merit 4 stars.

I was truly not impressed. Idk if I just went on a bad day or what but I got the top sirloin with…read moreonion dish and it had no flavors. There was no dressing on the salad and fries were plain. The steak was plain, everything was plain. Idk if I had to ask for special sauce but it was not with the price. The service was okay. The doors are weird because it's kidding and not push or pull. The ambiance seems family friendly, business owners. It was slow when I went. I probably won't come back as I was not impressed with the food.

Authentic Brazilian cafe…read more Had the picanha and it was delicious. The pastel de frango was also good and fresh. Husband had the linguiça and that was also good. Son had the bife a cavalo and he enjoyed it! I wanted to try the pamonha but they did not have it at the time. The only thing missing here is coxinha without the catupiry. Ryan was our server and he was very nice and helpful as this was our first time exploring Brazilian restaurants and grocery stores in the area! We felt like we were back home in Newark Nj! Will recommend!

Usually I dread going to places like this, but Playland was definitely an exception. This place was…read moresparkling clean with great food and drink options from the coffee bar. The staff does a fantastic job of keeping the place looking brand new instead of grimy like many of these other types of places can be. There were two birthday parties going on while we were there, but everything felt very organized. Great place to bring the kiddos to get some energy out!

I highly recommend this café! There are about 10 tables inside and several outside.

Was looking forward to the return of some (35 YO) old school, 5-star Harper's but…read more.. Somewhat cold feeling with none of the "warmth" of our Original (Mall & SP) Harper's. You order at the counter with food delivered to your table? Seems the location does a brisk to go business? Note: My visit was in August so hopefully the staff has survived their training and learning curve? I chose The Egg-cellent Burrito - nicely prepared & presented but the filling ingredients were not blended at all? And the tasty house made salsa, hardly enough? Tried a slice of dessert with ice cream but it was so overcooked it had been made rock hard? Seemed that the GM was trying to get his arms around the operation but unlike the (closed) locations nothing positive has drawn me back four months later?

First Watch has always been a good breakfast staple for me. Good variety of options, certain…read morelocations have alcohol, but all have pretty good food. I ended up getting the Barbacoa breakfast bowl which included Barbacoa, nacho chips, black beans, and scrambled eggs. This itself was a 8 out of 10, the flavor was there, but the nachos portion tasted like the food had been sitting on them for a minute before getting to my table. I also got a side of plain roasted potatoes, and they were great as usual. My go to drink is always the morning meditation, which is a blend of citrus juices, ginger, and tumeric. My waitress wasn't the most attentive considering them not being as busy as usual on a Sunday morning. Overall, not the best experience, but by for not the worst experience. It will always be a go to for breakfast whether I'm by myself, with family, or even on a date.

This was our second bad experience at this First Watch location, and after today, we're done…read more We came in on 3/26/2026 around 11:45am and were seated right away. That's about the only thing that went right. Our server stopped by briefly while my wife stepped away and took a drink order (waters). My wife was back at the table within two minutes. From that point on, we were completely ignored. Not "a little slow"--completely ignored. We sat there for 18 minutes without a single check-in, no order taken, nothing. Meanwhile, the same server was actively waiting on other tables, including people who were seated after us. At that point, it was obvious we weren't just overlooked--we were being disregarded. We got up and left. On the way out, my wife tried to say something to a staff member and was met with a blank stare and no response. I told the hostess we were leaving after being ignored, and her response was "see ya." No apology, no attempt to fix it--just complete indifference. Another customer nearby even said, "not professional today, are we?" which pretty much said it all. To make things worse, the restroom was disgusting. The only available stall (the handicapped stall) was filthy and completely unusable. That alone should have been a red flag for how this place is being managed. I called afterward and spoke with the manager on duty, Johnny, to get contact information for the district manager--and was given the wrong number. I had to call a different First Watch just to get the correct one. That's not just poor service--that's incompetence. I actually like First Watch as a brand, which makes this even more frustrating. But this location is clearly poorly run and getting worse, not better. Save yourself the time and go to the Matthews location instead. This one isn't worth the hassle.
