    Boxes everywhere...
    Heather V.

    3.8 Pretty good latte. I don't like cookie butter, so I knew I needed to get some thing other than their signature airplane latte. There was a small sign for the summer latte options, but not an overall sign with the general menu - which is kind of odd. So I had to "create my own" drink. 2.5 for the ambiance, which was a bit weird too, and kind of all over the place. You can't really tell what vibe they're going for. Boxes piled up everywhere, a random balloon arch. A merch table ? The waiting line also goes right through the middle of the seating area. So I kept getting bumped into and having to move back to make way for walking people. Very clunky. 1.0 The last thing I'll note, which isn't an overall ding towards them, but it added to the experience...I was waiting behind 1 single girl, and when she was next - FIVE other people came up to join her. Ordering one by one. And then a group of 6 other people tried to join in, but then somehow ended up behind me. The line was already 10 people deep. I'm not sure how anyone let this happen....

    Warm apple fritter. Maybe not what you would have thought when walking in, but they warm it up and serve it on a plate with just the right amount of small apple chunks in it! Mouth watering to say the least. The avocado toast was good and fulfilling. I wouldn't say great but along with a solid cappuccino it was good.

    Airplane Latte
    Kristina B.

    Fast and friendly service in a lovely and quaint atmosphere. I ordered their specialty latte and the Beattie's bagel. Both came out quickly. I wasn't quite expecting the coffee drink to be more like a dessert, but here were are. It was so tasty and delicious, but a bit too sweet for breakfast. The bagel sandwich was delicious. I had it work turkey sausage and it was so simple and delicious it was perfect. I'm glad I was able to stop in after reading the great reviews.

    We are about to head out of Charlotte and needed to cap off the great food wine and good conversation we needed a quiet respite and fount Lotties Cafe 15 minutes before close...No issues we were served with exceptional services and choices. The place was spick and spank with the restroom to match. If you are a coffee connisour this the spot.

    Iced Airplane Latte

    Came in with my husband with no intention of getting anything this particular day, but once I saw how good the iced airplane latte looked, I just had to get one! It was our first time here and everyone was very friendly. 100% worth a try!!

    Comfortable, nicely decorated cafe where you can come for a quick breakfast or stay awhile and get some work done I ordered the bacon, egg n cheese too good! Check out the merchandise for some great gems!

    Beattie's Bagel

    We were in Charlotte for a weekend of events and stopped by Lottie's on our way to a Panthers game recently. It was obviously packed on game day and so there was a little wait, but nothing crazy. Ordered the Purr Latte to get in the Gametime spirit and a bagel sandwich. The sandwich was pretty decent, nothing overly impressive. The coffee was very tasty, although missing the "blue". Nonetheless, a good latte to get the day started.

    It's a packed place with raving reviews! BUT I think they weren't ready for the crowd. Terrible customer service: I was standing next in line rather than telling me she was working on something the cashier ignored my existence and didn't even tell me a thing.. it was over 5 minutes and she was standing right in front of me.... Terrible. Then another girl comes as soon as I say the deluxe avo toast she said it's going to be 25 minutes annoyed demeanor... I told her never mind. I'll just get a drink. I hope the drink and the walk are worth it. Now I have to find food elsewhere. I'm really bummed the service was terrible. Cute place local stuff to shop - nothing has the price listed. So there might be surprises there. I was really hopefully for this place and to try the food. Took a point away - drink has no flavor way too much milk and no lavender. Go on a day it's not so busy.

    We recently had a very relaxing and tasty lunch at Lottie's during our first visit in Charlotte! We came in initially to have a bite to eat, because we were really feeling some egg and cheese sandwiches and coffee, but ended up sticking around for a while longer because the whole vibe was relaxing, inviting, and everyone around seemed to have had the same idea! The bagels were delicately cooked, there was a wide variety of menu options, and overall we very much enjoyed!

    Underneath a train station in the corner of Upton is Lottie's Cafe, a low key cafe for coffee and a dainty breakfast.

    Lottie's has a really cute café space. They have a light food menu. I came and had a latte. It is on the lighter side and a bit more milky than coffee. Nice indoor space. Casual. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Biscoff latte
    Courtney W.

    Love supporting local coffee shops, and I had to make my way to Lottie's. The space is super cute from indoor seating to window seating to outdoor seating. Throughout the café you can buy local items like candles and hats. I ordered the iced Biscoff latte and avocado toast. The customer service was great. We ordered to go but ended up sitting to eat. Someone came up to check on us just to make sure they didn't accidentally make our food to go instead of for eating in. Would definitely go back to switch my work from home routine. Only con is paying for parking if you don't live uptown.

    I had the best time at an event hosted at Lottie's called the Coffee Set. The coffee line was *long,* but my drink came out in minutes, I couldn't believe it! I ordered a honey vanilla latte. It was tasty, just not as sweet as other shops, but I'd definitely try it again. Everyone around me had fun looking frappes and amazing pastries. On a weekday, this would be a great spot to work--there are plenty of parking decks around to make coming and going easy.

    Good but lacks flavor

The pizza was done exactly on time. The moment I walked in, I watched an employee place the food on the counter. Great timing. The only interaction was the cashier asking if she could help me. I was out of there in seconds, so I can't properly comment on customer service. The pizza itself was very good. Comparable to spots around town. Price point was about equal to the other places as well. Would I recommend? Yes. Would I say it's worth a long drive to go get? Not really. If you're in the Pineville area and want a good slice, go grab one here.

She is AMAZING and super sweet. I came in today and was "greeted" (meaning he didn't say a word the whole interaction) by a bald man with a tattoo by his ear. He did not say "hi" or "how can I help" you or anything. Just started at me. I told him my order and before I could finish speaking (I needed to show him I was also purchasing a drink) he put my order in and walked away before I could even get the rest of my order out of my mouth. He immediately walked to the back. I did not pay because I was waiting to get his attention to let him know he still needed to ring up the drink and that he only rung up the bagel. He finally looked my way from the back and said "you can tap to pay" and then immediately turned around so he was unable to see or hear me raise the drink up and say "you didn't ring up the drink". Luckily the kind woman was in the front and took care of me. I hate giving a negative review because I love the lady with the red hair, but the other man was terrible.

The sandwiches and meats looked good but I go to Poppy's for the bagels. Today I purchased an egg bagel (IYKYK) and a pumpernickel bagel with some scallion cream cheese, and for real, their bagels are the closest thing to actual NYC bagels I have found in Charlotte. Egg bagels are nigh impossible to find, and theirs are why I love egg bagels. Their pumpernickel is chewy and dense in flavor, and I'd be waxing poetic about their Asiago if they'd still had them. (sails out before I got there, alas.) The Poppy's on Providence is long, long overdue a refurb to match the hospitality of the SouthEnd location, because the Providence Road location is a bit of cluster and hard to navigate. It's crowded as heck inside and things are placed a little haphazardly. That said, my gosh, what great food. Maybe next time I'll wait long enough to snap photos before chowing down.

The line was steady, the staff was hustling, and the smell of fresh bagels made the wait totally worth it. There had to be 15+ people hustling behind the counter (probably even more in the back), and despite constant flow of people coming in and what looked like nonstop online/call in orders, they had the operation running like a well-oiled machine. I ordered almost immediately, it just took a little while for the food to come out, which honestly was understandable considering how busy they were. The menu is huge with tons of bagel and cream cheese options, plus plenty of specialty sandwiches if you don't feel like building your own. I grabbed the Italiano special, a cheesesteak with the works, and two Asiago bagels for the next day (they're closed Sundays, so plan ahead!). The Asiago bagels were excellent, even the next morning they held up to perfection. The cheesesteak had great flavor with peppers and onions, though I would've loved a little more meat and a little less bread. The Italiano was also really tasty, but my order wasn't quite right. I asked for no roasted tomatoes or olives and to add onions, but it came with the tomatoes and no onions. Honestly the no olives was the most important part so not the end of the world. I fixed it at home with some onions and fresh banana peppers from the garden... again not a big deal, but worth mentioning. I'm sure if I was eating at the location they would've fixed it immediately. For around $30, I got two sandwiches, two bagels, and the sandwiches even came with chips, which was a nice surprise. Easy parking, easy to find, lots of seating (but inside and out -- a few picnic tables on the patio) and while the inside isn't anything fancy, that's not why you're here. You're here for solid bagels, great sandwiches, and a local spot that's clearly doing something right. I'd definitely come back, especially to try one of their breakfast sandwiches next time.
