The espresso is smooth and has good flavor if you don't like super sweet I highly recommend asking for half flavor. If you are in rush maybe not the best option but it's worth the wait. The owner operates it by herself so be sure and follow their Facebook as occasionally she has to close. They do an excellent job of being involved in the community and hosting local events.

What a cute little coffee shop! I visited here when it was a cocktail bar, so I was surprised (in a…read moregood way) to see it transformed into a coffee spot and decided to stop in. They have a full coffee bar, plus a grab-and-go fridge stocked with beer, sodas, and energy drinks. There's also a nice selection of pastries, including muffins, crumb cake, scones, cheese danishes, and other sweet treats. We ordered a cold brew, a cheese danish, and a crumb cake, and everything was fresh and delicious. One unique feature is the attached dispensary, where they offer THC beverages along with other products. The coffee shop itself has plenty of seating for couples or small groups, and we had no trouble finding street parking. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a cozy place to grab coffee and a pastry!

Their…read moredrink menu is so much fun, with all of the classic espresso drinks you expect plus creative seasonal specialties. I ordered their take on a vanilla iced latte with almond and caramel, and it was such a treat without being overly heavy. Next time I'm already planning to try the iced honey latte, which sounds like it'll be a little less sweet but just as delicious. The breakfast sandwiches were equally impressive. We ordered both the Rocco and the Hank, and they were perfectly seasoned, fresh, and as soon as they hit our table I wanted to take a bite. The English muffins tasted fresh, the eggs, cheese, and toppings were high quality, and I especially loved the dollop of hollandaise sauce on my sandwich--it was like a portable Eggs Benedict! The atmosphere was just as enjoyable as the food. There was plenty of seating inside and outside, the staff was incredibly friendly and prompt, and the café was spotless with adorable décor (plus some fun Lake Norman merchandise for sale). The patio is also dog-friendly, which is always a bonus. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee, a delicious breakfast, or a place to relax for a bit, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. I'll be back soon!

This coffee shop & cafe has so much potential, but unfortunately I was disappointed by the poor…read morecustomer service, drinks, and cleanliness. The decor of the shop is cute and there are lots of seating options available both indoor and outdoor. There is free wifi available so it's a good place to get some work done. Parking was readily available and easy. Customer service: the barista who took my order was cold, direct, and rushing to finish helping me so she could go back to her family sitting in the cafe and keep talking to them. She didn't want to do her job, she continued to walk away from the counter to socialize and only walked back to the counter when someone came in. They call your food orders out rather than bringing it to you, customers buss their own tables, and I never saw any of the workers wipe off tables after people left. They have a 95 sanitation rating. Food: decent (I got the Turkey Apple Panini), but it was overwhelmed by the honey mustard and the plate still had residue on it from a previous meal (gross!). Drink: I got an iced vanilla chai. There is a previous yelp review warning against the chai tea and they were right - it did not taste like a chai, just like watered down & milky black tea. I didn't try any of their coffee drinks so I can't speak to that, but I don't have high hopes. Willow Wood Coffee would not be my first choice as there are so many other coffee shops around that have excellent food, drink, and customer service.

Inside, they have several seating areas including multiple comfy nooks. They did a great job with the ambiance. Everything was warm and welcoming. Good for individuals or an 8-person group. The two-person staff did a fantastic job. One person in register and one on drive-thru. They kept things rolling and did not sacrifice service whatsoever. I tried a chai tea latte with vanilla flavoring. I think I arrived too late for some of the other baked goods, but I was able to try a delicious blueberry muffin. I suggest getting it warmed up. Everything was delicious and priced fairly. Special notes: they only accept cards. My only recommendation is adding more outlets where possible. The coffeehouse is a little out of the way for me, but definitely worth the trip. I can't wait to bring my hubby for a visit.

The food display was empty. All the tables were dirty and had crumbs and even empty coffee cups on them despite me being in only person in there. I waited for about 5 minutes for someone to appear, and nobody did. I turned right around and walked out the door without any acknowledgment. Maybe I picked a bad day because of the holiday, but, from what I saw, it was dirty and nobody was there (employees or otherwise). Don't have the open sign on if you're not ready to serve customers.

First & foremost, this isn't a traditional coffeeshop. I would describe it more as an event space…read morethat serves coffee. With that being said, I was a little disappointed with my experience. I arrived just before 9am. It was still warming up inside so it was a little cold. Inside you can find few 2-person and 4-person round tables as well as 4 comfy arm chairs. Atmosphere is tragically lacking. It was completely silent for the first half hour then the same song was played over and over again (and very loudly). Then silence again. There is a large stage for events such as poetry night, open mic nights, and live music The shop offers a good mix of hot and cold drinks. I was very disappointed in the baked good options. In fact there were just some cookies in plastic bags. My latte was just fine and it was reasonably priced. Maybe their events provide a better experience. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.
