When I went there was a mother and daughter working together. I assume they are the owners of this new donut shop. The main feature is their glazed donut. They are so light and airy - certainly not a dense donut. They use a proprietary yeast dough with a tasty glaze. You can add a topping as they offer several flavors - vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cherry, Maple, etc. you can also get sprinkles on top! They also offer Kolaches. These are dough filled sandwiches. They look amazing and will have to try them another time. Check them out when you are in Concord.

Yet, once I walked in, I remembered why I loved this place. Everything is made fresh that morning and then again multiple times a day to ensure everyone has the best experience. I ordered a donut and an apple fritter. Both were amazing. They were warm and fluffy. There were fresh apple pieces in the fritter unlike some bakeries. I highly recommend it.

Out of the four employees that I typically see on my visits, one of them typically wears gloves when handling food. I watched one employee have her nail in a bag that she was placing cookies into and unfortunately, this is the same employee that said out loud she was ready to go home as she went through the doors to get something from the back, loud enough for me and the other customers standing there to hear her. I personally would prefer to go to the location near Plaza Midwood. Today there was a new employee that I've never seen before that helped me, still no gloves, but she did have great customer service. Unfortunately, upon biting into the last half of my cookie, I noticed that there was a piece of hair in the chocolate.

The young lady that was helping me did a great job at offering recommendations off the menu. I ordered the coconut & vanilla cloud latte, and boy oh boy was it delightful! I subbed the dairy for oatmilk and that was such a great decision. I'm not really a coffee drinker, but this latte was perfectly made, I tasted the expresso but the drink was not to bitter. The flavors were balanced and the texture was creamy and it wasn't to bitter or too sweet or was just right for me. Even my best friend enjoyed it and she's a real coffee drinker. I'd come back just for this latte! 20/10... I ordered two donuts, Brown butter and salt and the cinnamon roll donut. The brown butter and salt donut wasn't my favorite, I don't like desserts that have flaky salt flakes sprinkled on them, that's my fault though I should have paid attention to that. I'm a lover of cinnamon roll donuts and if you've had one you've had them all, I ordered that one for my son so I'll try to snag a bite when he tries it! This was my first time coming to this location, they have a paid parking lot behind the bakery, this area has plenty of other businesses within walking distance, which is nice. Overall, the staff were efficient, the space was clean and they were rocking a 99 sanitation score. That's always a plus!

There are tons of options beyond doughnuts too, including baked goods, specialty matchas, and coffees. The space wasn't super loud and also seems like a great spot to get some work done. Service was fantastic. There was a slight wait and staff came up to my table to inform me and make sure I was okay. The attention to detail and customer service is top notch. I tried the avocado toast on brioche. The brioche was super soft and flaky, and the flaky sea salt paired really well with the cucumber and red pepper flakes. I do wish there was more avocado though! The cucumber was the stronger flavor, and it felt more like brioche with a light schmear of avocado rather than a true avocado toast. 10/10 recommend getting the Oreo doughnut holes. Very moist, not overly sweet, and surprisingly flavorful for no filling. Hands down the best doughnut holes I've ever had!

Sitting in the restaurant and eating is not the same experience. My friend and I got the same sandwich. Hers was missing the bacon and mine was missing the lettuce. My coffee was not hot. I asked for it to be reheated. I got a new one and that one wasn't hot either. I hate warm or cold coffee. The seating area can use a good cleaning. And the food is very expensive. It gets on my nerves when the tip screen pops up because I don't want to give a tip if my coffee is consistently cold and my sandwich is missing stuff. It's already overpriced to begin with. The young lady at the register needs a bit more training. The last time I stopped in she gave me a very sloppy earl gray tea. I had to deconstruct the cup which was very poorly put together with two lids...smh. Anyway, I know to order my pastries to go when I come here. A cookie, albeit large, is about $5.35 with tax! I'm all for supporting small local businesses, but you have to give me good service and don't charge me an arm and a leg and still expect a tip for a cookie to go. If they clean up the interior, get the orders correct and train their young staff member a little better this might be a decent place to stop in and enjoy a lite lunch. But be prepared for a hefty tab.

Not a single one made any effort to acknowledge or help us--they were too busy carrying on their little peanut gallery conversation. The level of unprofessionalism was honestly surprising. It felt more like watching a group of teenagers gossip than being in a business that's supposed to serve customers. If you're going to talk about customers, at least wait until they've left and do your job first. We walked away feeling unwelcome and won't be returning.

When I arrived I asked for my order (two smoothies, two entrees, kale slaw and a bag of chips). The employee from behind the counter walked around to hand me my food and drinks. I told her I will need to make two trips since I don't have two hands to carry everything. I then asked if I could have a drink carrier to help make carrying my two smoothies easier. I was told no, it is their policy that only customers with three or more drinks can have a carrier. I was in shock. I am standing there with a cane in my hand and was told I could make multiple trips if needed. Absolutely absurd. I walked to my car carrying my bag of food first and then came back for my drinks. Then a second employee came out to hand me both drinks again. I told her I can only carry one at a time if I am unable to have a drink carrier. At least this time the employee offered to help. I was so taken back by my first encounter I still just couldn't believe it. To make things worse both smoothies were chunky and full of ice. To top it off I went to take my food out and noticed that the kale slaw did not have a plastic lid but was instead wrapped in plastic wrap. The liquid had gotten all over the bag. This experience officially ends my trips to the tropical smoothie cafe. This is the absolute worst managed cafe in the north Charlotte area. Do not come here.

There's also a convenient drive-thru if you're in a hurry. The baristas were friendly and efficient. I ordered the Strawberry Crème Matcha and a Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, and both were delicious. The matcha was refreshing without being overly sweet, and the Vietnamese coffee was rich, smooth, and exactly what I was hoping for. Overall, this is a great coffee shop whether you're looking for a place to work, catch up with someone, or just grab a quality drink. I'd definitely come back.
