I highly recommend this place BUT don't try it on Sunday morning. They are in the same location as Transformation Church so the traffic is more than intense.

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.

The drinks have bold, balanced flavors with coffee ice cubes and good allergy safety. The price is typical for coffee shops, but definitely a win with $0.25 alternative milks. Detailed breakdown: When I heard we were getting this place, I was really curious about trying them out -- and I'm glad I did! The coffee is bold but not overwhelming, with fun, tasty flavors offered. There are also dairy-free options, which I appreciate. Price is pretty typical, BUT they offer alternative milks for only $0.25, which is a huge win. Normally, I pay an extra dollar for almond or oat milk, so I appreciate this price point. The atmosphere is a fun, beachy vibe with surfboards and cute merch around. There's also plenty of seating inside and outside. I've gone several times with a friend and have never struggled to find a seat. Service is also great. Very personable and willing to help out. My friend accidentally ordered four shots of espresso on the app instead of two, and she can't have too much caffeine. She explained the situation, and they graciously remade the drink at no extra charge (with much less espresso). The willingness to help even when it was our mistake really stood out. Definitely stop by and try them out if you get the chance!

I started off trying two lattes, Three Waves, and Monkey Mocha. The lattes had an enjoyable taste in terms of sweetness, but there wasn't a strong distinction in taste between the two. I strayed away from the lattes, and tried their koffee koolers and pastries which I fell in love with: Jack's Rocky Road to Hana Koffee Kooler ($6.75- MED), Jenny's Wild Pistachio Kick Koffee Kooler ($6.75- MED), Pecan Bar ($3.75), Salted Caramel Cookie ($2.75) and Turtle Kick Koffee Kooler ($6.75 - MED).

Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products. Come support this amazing local spot and enjoy their unique, thoughtful offerings!

They also sell Madeleine cookies, of course, though we didn't get any. The service was given with genuine smiles. The prices were normal - not a deal but not over-the-top. We enjoyed our breakfast and will happily come back!

A lovely discrete treasure, a blessing to the South Charlotte food scene…read more This easy to find yet tucked away café was the best breakfast I've had in many years. The meal started off with an iced rosemary lavender latte crafted with their in house syrup made with cane sugar and fresh herbs. Rosemary and coffee has been a revelation to my palate and I'll be back for this alone. Which I will happily enjoy in this comfortable and cute dining area. Breakfast was made to order from fresh ingredients, piping hot and intentionally seasoned. As their bright and cheerful owner puts it, the main ingredient is love. And trust me, you can taste it. This is the first time in my two decades of eating tofu that I can actually shoutout how delicious it is. And the aromas coming of this photogenic waffle were mouthwatering. While Charlotte has become over run with corporate and copy cat restaurants, it is truly a thing of comfort to enjoy a delicious meal made by good people that care not only about what's on the plate, but who is eating from it. 6 stars

I came in initially having high expectations due to the high rating on Yelp…read more When you walking in, it's a local coffee shop feel with brunch food which is inviting. We didn't wait for too long for the table as people were just leaving. It took a bit for the waiter to come to our table and took even longer for him to get our food orders in, which we noticed he got the food orders in for the other tables with people who came in after us. This then lead them to getting their food before ours. I ordered the breakfast combo which came with 2 eggs, bacon, and waffle. I was a bit surprised that this place didn't have any chicken or turkey protein side options as I've seen is common with brunch places. I also got my eggs scrambled which, as you can see by the picture, came out as an omelette. When asking the worker about the confusion, he doubled down on it being scrambled eggs and even gossiped to his coworker about it as well. Upon the unfair wait and the egg situation, I will not be returning here again.

While I looked online I was surprised to learn that this place tries to stay in touch with their South American roots, so obviously I wanted to try it out! On the menu I saw plenty of drinks from coffees to matchas to chais and lemonades as well. Apart from that there were other options like baked goods and sandwiches. Once I got there the place was actually very packed but there was still plenty of room as well. There was also an outside patio for those who wish to sit outside rather than inside. The vibe was giving woodsy and green. So it felt very bright and welcoming in the shop. The staff was nice and took care of me quickly. I ended up ordering their pesto flatbread. It took a couple of minutes for me to get my order but nothing too long. The flatbread was overall really good. It had arugula, pesto, cheese, prosciutto, and cherry tomatoes on top. It was very filling as well. I would def recommend this place if you're in the Charlotte area! I will say that the prices might not be the "cheapest" but I think it's worth it.

A little pricier than other options, but very allergy-friendly. Atmosphere is cute and work-friendly. Would recommend! Detailed review: The Eden bowl was filling and tasted amazing. The chia seed pudding had a strong, but not overbearing vanilla flavor that complemented the fruit beautifully. My mocha latte was rich and truly felt like a treat. I loved how allergy-friendly they were, too. The menu, clearly labeled, included allergens, making it easy to order safely. Price was a bit high, but not incredibly overpriced. Most of the ingredients were organic, which makes the pricing more justified. Atmosphere is relaxing with a nice plant vibe. Saw plenty of people working there, so it's work-friendly. Service was good, too. No issues, and they were very kind. Will definitely return and recommend!
