Positive note: no extra charge for milk alternatives (almond and oat)…read more I came on a weekday morning and had no problem finding a park spot in front. I ordered quickly. Service was friendly and efficient. I got a large chai latte and peppermint tea which came out to about $10. The chai was ok.. it's a store bought mix that is on the sweeter and more mild side. I probably would not get this again and would order an espresso based latte instead (only because I like a strong chai and it's hard to adjust the flavor of a premade mix). Overall they seems to have a good variety of coffee based drinks to choose from. A few pastries available as well. The merch looked cute too!

My sister , niece and I decided to check this spot out on a Sunday afternoon…read more The coffee shop is located in a small plaza in a cute neighborhood . They have a dedicated free parking lot with what appears to be ample parking spots. The decor is basic, service was quick and coffee was solid. I just ordered a cappuccino with oat milk. However, my Neice did order a fall special that was some sort of blueberry drink. She took a sip and said wow that's good. She insisted that I try it , and I have to say they nailed it ! The blueberry flavor was present! I also did try the pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. I asked if they were made in house . I was told yes, and made daily. The muffin was good . I appreciated that it was not too sweet! Overall I think this is a solid coffee shop. They have several tables, and free WiFi. Would make a great spot to work from !

So expensive. However, I clearly keep coming back. Not great vibes for focusing on work on a Sunday…read moreafternoon. However, good for this on other days. Service remains standard. Flavor is solid but not the best I've ever had.

It has such a calm vibe with plenty of seating inside and some outdoors as well. I loved that they offer seasonal drinks alongside their classics and food options. We opted for a cortado, a vanilla lavender matcha, and a chicken chorizo breakfast burrito. Everything tasted delicious and was served fast. We sat for around an hour working on our laptops and weren't interrupted. There were people chatting as well, so it's a great space to do both. I absolutely loved the fact that you can get other drinks too, since they have a large selection of wines and seltzers. Everyone we talked with was super sweet--I can't wait to visit again!

Qahwah House was such a cool coffee shop! As a history and coffee nerd, I can honestly say that I…read morethink that this was the first time that a coffee shop made me smarter. That's because they had a huge map outlining the historical trade routes that coffee beans were transported on, as well as an homage to some of the patrons of coffee cultivation. They backed up these historical displays with great customer service, a solid cup of coffee, and a truly mesmerizing ambiance. I've been to so many coffee shops in my life, and Qahwah House was the first time, if not ever, then definitely in a long time, that I felt like I experienced something unique. I loved it. Overall, I loved Qahwah House, and I'll assuredly be back as soon as I can. I'd also recommend it to anybody looking for something new to experience!

Coffee enthusiasts ASSEMBLE!!!…read more Made the mistake of NOT coming here to do work though CORRECTED that mistake by closing down the night here. Lovely atmosphere, and love learning about coffee. I got the Yemeni chocolate (stuffed with kanafe, surprise!) and a decaf Yemeni latte because I needed to sleep in a couple of hours. Neither disappointed! They also roast in house, so I brought back a 1/2 lb bag. Owner told me to wait a day or so, since they had just roasted the beans the night before (allows beans to rest and the flavors to come out). When I brewed them with my Fellow back home Make this a definite stop!

Friendly staff who gave a good recommendation, line was moving (although it was longer), and the coffee was perfectly favored. Didn't take all that long to get a latte either! They have vegan pastries, I didn't try one but I will be back because I love when there are allergy friendly options! The parking wasn't easy but what is in Plaza Midwood. I parked about a block away because they have a small parking lot- it's not the easiest to get in and out of!

This place was busy. The entire time we were here, it was non-stop, the order line was long and the…read morewait area was packed. Irene, who took our order, was very sweet. They offer a lot of drinks and food and have lots of seating. The outdoor area was beautiful and relaxing-ish (they can't help the cars driving by). I ordered a zucchini quiche and nitro coffee, my SO ordered drip, cortado, and empanadas (Patagonia, spinach, and breakfast). I thought the cortado was delicious. The drip was very weak and the nitro bitter. The quiche was just slightly over salted. I liked the spinach empanada, but found it heavy on the salt too. The Patagonia was pretty delicious and had great flavor. When I took a bite of the breakfast empanada, I couldn't name any of the ingredients in the filling. Overall, gave me the caffeine boost and sustenance I needed, but I probably wouldn't return.

This location is outside- don't even dare try to sit down as all the tables and chairs were filled with water and ice. They were out of chicken which seemed odd with that being one of their most popular items and 8am. I got a biscuit which I do have to admit was amazinggggg probably one of the best biscuits I have ever had! Coffee was eh (was very watered down) but the cinnamon roll was 11/10 fluffy, moist, and the frosting tasted home made!

I've been to this location multiple times and unfortunately have always been disappointed…read more I find their chicken to be bland, and it never stands out against its competitors. Their salads are always fresh but at their price point, I'd go elsewhere. I recently purchased a box of glazed donuts and two vanilla lattes on a Friday morning, and found the donuts to be somehow stale and soggy. The lattes were weak and overpoweringly sweet. Milkbread is priced too high to be inconsistent and mediocre, especially with how much competition Charlotte has for donuts, coffee, and fried chicken.

Nice music playing in the background and the space is roomy enough for customers to work or sit back and relax, like me, enjoying their morning pick-me-up. I asked Joe about a drink I saw on their page. The Chill Bee is an Espresso Latte, with house made lavender and honey. Very good suggestion since I normally have those flavors with a matcha. Definitely will be back the next time I'm in town.

I reviewed that space already. It's super chill and has everything you need as far as drinks and such go :) We got there about 9am Saturday and didn't have to wait long for our drinks. I ordered the vanilla latte with oat milk and it was pretty great! Brewed to order like I like. Super flavorful and hot! The owner, Joe, is there making your order and he's so personable and nice! He even came around and let us choose an affirmation from a stack of cards he had. Loved this so much!!! It's so dope when businesses add an extra unexpected positive element to your experience! I'm sold! Love this spot and will be back often!

The Italian crème cake was an easy 10/10, super rich, moist, and decadent without being overwhelming. You can tell it's done right. The strawberry cream horn was also really good. The strawberry flavor itself was pretty subtle, but the crème was light and airy, and the pastry shell had a great crisp to it. They have a small outdoor seating area, which is nice, because the inside is very... cozy. Staff is friendly and helped us choose these great desserts Also had their tiramisu here in the past and it was delicious. Overall, really solid bakery. I'd absolutely come back, especially for that Italian crème cake.
