Halfpenny's is an adorable cafe/deli located downstairs at the Wells Fargo Two office building. It is neatly tucked away but worth a visit because their food and coffee are delicious, and reasonably priced! They serve a lot of classics like burgers, hotdogs, and your favorite sandwiches, and they also have ice cream! It has a classic mom and pop vibe, and nearly everything on their menu is under $10.00 which is incredibly rare for Uptown Charlotte. If you work in the area and are looking for a quick breakfast sandwich, a cup of coffee, or a nice lunch, then you have to check this place out. read more

Halfpenny's - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Working in Wells Fargo Two, this was my first visit to Halfpenny's. Although conveniently located, I wasn't as impressed as others. Yes, the staff was so nice, but the sandwich was pretty basic and the soda machine only offers three sodas, all caffeinated. I ordered a Smoked Turkey sandwich with Swiss cheese, lettuce & onions, a cup of chicken noodle soup and a drink. Again, sandwich was basic, soup tasted out of a can, and I had to select water after paying for a drink since they didn't offer a non caffeinated soda, Sprite, etc. read more

Halfpenny's - a sandwich in a styrofoam container - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Halfpenny's is a neat little café/deli located on the lower level of the Wells Fargo Center building. They have a variety of options to choose from for breakfast or lunch items. They also have dessert options as well. Likely, many employees that work in uptown businesses have visited Halfpenny's and it was a hit. I got a Reuben sandwich from them and it was pretty good. From the Wells Fargo Center entrances, take the escalator downstairs and you will find this location. You will also find that there are also other businesses downstairs as well so much as a post office location, laundry/cleaners, retail stores and other establishments as well. So it's a very convenient location for a lot of the items that you need. Definitely try them out if you are in the uptown area! read more

Halfpenny's - Chicken salad sandwich on croissant. Very hearty and tastes great - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This is one of favorite sandwich shops in Uptown Charlotte and the one I miss the most since retiring. Their chicken salad sandwich is the best and the staff is even better. Glad they made it through Covid and hope to visit more often going forward. read more

Stayed overnight in uptown Charlotte and had breakfast here. This is a small mom/pop type cafe in the lower level of the Wells Fargo building. They have breakfast sandwiches, omelets, coffee etc. Our breakfast was prepared fresh and staff were so nice. Everything about it was great. Will go back when in the area again. Highly recommend. read more

Wonderful little place. We stopped in for a nice breakfast. We had breakfast croissant sandwiches, grits with cheese and some delicious coffee. The lady at the counter was super attentive. Seating is nicely spaced out for social distancing. read more

Great place... good solid food and service. There is a reason the line is out the door.

Halfpenny just served me the creamiest, chocolaty-iest chocolate ice cream I've had in like, forever! Working out of our Charlotte location this week, I missed my office's Cookie Wednesday.....but not to cry b/c this location has Ice Cream Wednesdays Stopped by the previous morning to stock up on water & the lady was super-friendly. She chatted up my coworker (he was a local) and there were yummy looking bagels & pastries - prepackaged but still looked yummy So when this super-decadent, ultra-creamy ice cream is given to me, one bite was all it took for me to be in luv. Others got Strawberry & Vanilla & I gotta say that Strawberry looked homemade w/ its huge hunks of fresh berries Then I'm told it came from the very same place I'd been to, just the day before?? My coworker also said they make a mean milkshake! Will totally be back!! read more

We went there for the first time today. The people were so nice! The egg sandwich I ordered was delicious too!

Cheap, delicious, fresh coffee. I'm not talking about the stale cup of plain joe you get at ANY other regular coffee shop that tastes like dirty burned coffee beans. If your office doesn't have a coffee maker, I highly suggest making a trip down here. If you're concerned about the preparation - it's regular old drip coffee, not percolator, so do with that information what you will. A medium java sets you back only $1.70, and they have a ton of flavored coffees if you're into that. Normally I'm not, but I tried the "Hawaiian Macadamia Nut" today, and ALOHAAAAA... delicious. You can't really beat it for a cheap and good quality cuppa. (*side note* there is a $3 minimum for credit cards, so bring cash if you're coming down for just coffee) read more

This is the only place at Wells Fargo that serves ice cream. Their chocolate ice cream is very nice!

Halfpenny's is a soda / ice cream / quick-bite-to-eat shop in the bottom of Two Wachovia Center. Hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is a popular spot to grab coffee, bagels and muffins in the morning but don't look for a lot of menu variety at lunch. It's fine for your morning coffee and afternoon ice cream cravings, but I'd say get lunch somewhere else. read more

They filled up my own supersized mug with iced mocha ... and I didn't even ask them to do that. I expected to pay for the beverage, get it in their cup, and dump it into my mug. Super nice people and excellent service. I'll be back with bigger orders. read more

This is the go to place if you work in the Wells Fargo (formerly Wachovia) Atrium area. Located in what I would call the "basement" of the atrium. It serves something for breakfast and lunch as well as ice cream for those late afternoon treats. Nice folks, cheap prices (if you compare it to coffee shops). If I go here it is usually for a coffee and lunch if I am in a big hurry and don't want to walk anywhere. read more

My husband and I love Halfpenny's! We stop in every day for coffee and sometimes breakfast. It's my favorite part of weekday mornings. They have a great coffee selection, lots of breakfast options, and the people who work there are wonderful. Such a great little spot downtown. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's one of those great restaurants where the owners know your name and are always pleasant. Very reasonable prices for simple grab and go lunch sandwiches, and by far THE BEST biscuits in Charlotte! read more

I work in uptown and since COVID, choices have been somewhat limited. I had an excellent triple decker club sandwich there today. It was fresh and tasty. Service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely return. read more

Yuck! I was on my way to Johnny Burritos when I saw their sign of "specials". I stopped in and ordered the cream of potato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Both were awful. The soup had the consistency of milk, and not much flavor. It's no where close to "cream of" anything. The cheese on the sandwich was so thin that I pried it open just to ensure myself that they hadn't only given me 2 pieces of plain bread. I like to support small mom and pop businesses, so I really wanted to like this place. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but it was so off-putting that I don't plan to ever return. Next time, I'll keep walking to Johnny Burritos. read more

The BEST place for breakfast sandwiches in the Wells Fargo Mall

This is my spot for coffee and bagels each day. Ice cream is also fantastic... They remember what I order and I get my bagel and coffee in about 3 minutes. Service doesn't get any better than here!! read more

Halfpenny's has been in this spot for FOREVER, and even with changes of ownership through the decades, the food and service remain consistent. Good food, good prices, friendly service. The owner remembers my preferences, ALWAYS! And remembers my name, as well as the names of other regulars. Love this place! One time a colleague was kind enough to get my lunch, but did not remember my preferences. When my colleague mentioned my name, the owner told her how I like my sandwiches! This is a very popular spot for fast breakfasts, good-value lunch specials, and ICE CREAM! Love those mid-afternoon pick-me-up milk shakes. Not a coffee drinker, but this is a very popular coffee place, offering many different flavors. The Mrs. recommends Halfpenny's. . read more

Halfpennys has been my go-to spot for lunch for years. Frankly, dollar-for-dollar, it is the best value in Charlotte for that quick, inexpensive, grab-and-go lunch, especially for those who eat out on a regular basis and just need FOOD. I have tried to find other places to get sandwiches (often more expensive), but the value isn't there. I'd rather pay $5 at halfpennys than $8 at some other flashy joint or chain. Just a better deal, better quality, better service. Try the egg salad sandwich. I haven't found it's equal. Moreover, it has been consistently good since i found this place 10 years ago. And if you have room, get yourself a chocolate malt. By far the best malt I've ever had. read more

My favorite place to grab lunch uptown between meetings. You are in and out quickly with good service and a quality sandwich made to order.

Awesome breakfast sandwiches. The services is as awesome, they strive to know your name and your regular order, and are exceedingly friendly. Lunch is great too. read more

Good, honest food, at a fair price, made by cheerful folk. I've been going there for years, and am rarely disappointed.
