A perfect cozy spot to enjoy a drink, do some work, meet a friend etc. I ordered a matcha with toffee and it was phenomenal. My husband got a cold brew- they put coffee ice cubes in which is a nice touch and when I asked for cream and sugar they measured the sugar and added hot water to make a simple syrup so it wouldn't be a gritty mess in the cup. What a wonderful added touch! They have over a dozen different flavor syrups, use organic matcha, have Vietnamese or Turkish coffee and even cafe con leche. The baked good in the case also looked phenomenal. Also two large drinks were $10.47 and the cups were as big as a Starbucks venti (which are now like $7 a piece) Thanks for a great experience bill and bobs!!

I just wanted something to snack on so despite the large menu, I chose to get a guava and cheese empanada. The flavor was good but it wasn't worth the price tag (almost $5). I tried to order a nitro cold brew but was told they were out, and had been for years.....so I ordered an iced cafe con leche. I had to ask for it 3 times because the cashier didn't seem to know what is was, despite being on the menu hanging above her head. Her co-worker had to show her which button to hit on the POS. I'm sorry to say that this was the worst coffee I've ever had. No flavor at all. It tasted like watered down milk. They should probably fix their menu because calling that a cafe con leche was completely misleading. Overall, a very unpleasant experience.

(I grabbed a pillow for working with my sore back.) Lovely chill vibe. Even the regulars are friendly! Great food & drink options- they offer catering services. Nice place to meet up with friends or business associates. Lots of parking also. And they offer a formalized working space next door for those who need to rent a work spot on a more consistent basis. A new favorite of mine.

In warm weather, grab a spot at one of the outdoor tables, and in winter, find a spot on the covered patio or a cozy nook inside. Brakeman's also serves muffins, pastries and iced drinks, and the service is friendly and efficient. But be warned -- this popular spot gets extremely busy, especially on Saturday mornings. So come early, claim your spot and discover one of the best spots in town for a hot cup of coffee!

Like acai, so many fruit juices, smoothies, etc. Coffee is of course a 10/10 as well. In other words.... GO!!!!!

The baked treat from Southern olive was yummy too. I got the Everything bar with oatmeal, peanut butter, dried blueberries and chocolate. It's vegetarian style baking, which I am not, but tastes delicious like a healthy gluten free oatmeal brownie. The Good Cup has a coffee truck making the rounds now to neighborhoods and they post on Instagram where they're going weekly in Matthews. (Their brick and mortar location is with Loyalist Market during regular times.) they're taking credit cards and cash so look for their coffee truck and support an amazing local business! They also have kombucha that was sold out but I wanna try next time!

The menu has plenty of options and the baked goods on display look very nice. The man who took our order was super sweet and greeted us as soon as we walked in. It was also wheelchair accessible! Little tight inside to navigate though. There was also only one gender-neutral bathroom which had a line for it when we were there. We got the Bulgogi beef bun, the pistachio latte w/tache and the brown sugar vanilla latte w/ salted cream. Everything was delicious!!! It was probably the first pistachio latte I've ever had that I could actually taste the pistachio. The brown sugar vanilla latte was very aesthetically appealing and tasty.

In terms of the service, I thought it was good. I asked for two banh mis but was informed that there were only enough ingredients for one so I was refunded for the extra banh mi I had paid for! I ordered the Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi and Vietnamese Iced Coffee. I was worried there would be no Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi left because at other cafes that sell this option, it runs out FAST. Luckily, they had enough left to make one order for me. The banh mi was very flakey and crispy! I enjoyed the buttery mayo on the banh mi and the crispy pork belly was good, but I wish the pork belly was not cut in such small and thin pieces. I would love to feel the crunch of the crispy skin in my bites. But I know that I probably got the leftovers since it was near closing when I arrived. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was super strong! A bit too strong for my liking. Overall, I think that this is a solid spot for a quick bite or meal! I would like to come back earlier in the day to get a fresher batch of the crispy pork belly and to try their pastries.
