This coffee shop was quite the surprise. It is located near downtown Monroe in a restored antique…read morestore but converted into what looks like an old gat station. Genius! The menu offers quite a bit of options of coffee drinks, teas, food and even ice cream. MY wife and I went just for coffee, and it was delicious. By the way, it's imported Colombian coffee, and it was great! Staff was friendly and helpful. We were helped by the owners themselves, and they always had a smile, repeated our order back to us, got our order quickly, and checked on us if things were OK. The common areas and restroom were clean and comfortable, and the y did a terrific job with the looks of it. It has its own free parking lot but with limited spots. Overall, 100% recommended and can't wait to return to ty the food menu.

The theme of High Octane is so cute! The dinosaurs and the vintage gas station/car repair vibe is…read moretruly one of a kind. I didn't try any of the food this time around but my friend and I ordered their chocolate strawberry iced lattes and they were delicious! We are the kind of people who love a sweet and flavorful latte so this was perfect for us. It wasn't watery or dull in flavor in the slightest and it tasted exactly as described on the menu.

I was not a fan of the boba, but their Vietnamese coffee was top tier! Would order again!read more

I came here in a hot Saturday afternoon in need for some refreshment after a friend suggested I…read moreshould give them a try. I walked in and the guy working the register was immediately curt and rude. Hurrying me along by repeatedly asking me, "Anything else?", after every specification to the ONE tea I ordered. It was so rude that his coworker came over to try to smooth things out with warmer service. I ordered the passion fruit pleasure, double boba, 25% sweet, regular ice. The flavor of the tea was delicious but some of the dehydrated fruits didn't rehydrate which made overall mouthfeel less than ideal. The ambiance of was lackluster at best but very low on my list of priorities for a boba spot. I am open to try again with just boba in the future and hope for a better service experience.

Cute outside but ITS CLOSED, it says "until March" but I didn't see any more info on the mat…read more One day I'll be back to give a true impression on it

Best hot Chai tea I've had in awhile!

It's still not widely known enough to be as crowded as other popular coffee business but these folk have understood coffee for hundreds of years and know how to make it! Service is friendly. There is a small outdoor patio with umbrella'd tables and more seating inside as well. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

A great local and family owned cafe. I really enjoyed the coffee drinks here, I been here twice and…read moreboth times were great. I also tried their signature curry chicken croissant, it was creamy and full of flavor. The service was excellent. If you want to try something different other than Starbucks and help more local business this will be the place.

Hands down the best dessert spot! I'm there a few times a month. They have unique flavors and a…read morevaried selection. My favorite is the little hearts rolled ice cream and my significant other always gets the gulab jamun rolled ice cream, which is delicious. I tried their mango shake for the first time on my last visit and their seasonal/limited offerings...chef's kiss! Definitely give the Dubai chocolate options a try. The staff is kind and so hard-working. When it's busy, there can be a longer-than-expected wait for them to make your order, but it's absolutely worth it. There are a few tables inside and a couple outside, nothing fancy but it's perfect for a quick and casual late night dessert trip. Also, there are happy hour specials midday during the week so be sure to check those out.

The Daily Grind is a superrrrr cute coffee shop! Everything in the baked goods case was beautifully…read moreprepared and very tempting. Our drinks were pretty good! Not the best coffee/chai tea latte I have had in Monroe/Waxhaw area but their service was speedy. The employees were super friendly and talkative as well! I also got a red velvet donut, which was delish. However, the wheelchair accessibility is not the best. It is very small and tight inside. We ended up having to sit outside for a more spacious-feeling spot. Their outdoor seating is so cute and comfy!

Love it! But I had to detract a star because it's so expensive... however I really enjoyed my…read morebanana pastry! They also had coconut, acorn, blueberry and mango pastries available. I was there at 8:55am on a Saturday and all of those were there (I mention that because I know some people have come at times that they were sold out). The banana was quite delicious- inside was like a banana pudding with a bit of a wafer pie crust in there. It was a whopping $17 - I didn't mind paying because it felt special but obviously that price would keep this from being a regular thing for me.

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.
