Night Swim has established itself as the best coffee roaster in Charlotte. Their lattes and cappuccinos are consistent across all seven locations--with each extraction tasting exactly the same, allowing the coffee's nuances to emerge through a rich creamy milk foam. In recognition of their well deserved acclaim, I visited all 7 branches throughout the city. Every location possesses a distinct architectural identity, yet all are unified by the central aesthetic of refined minimalism--clean lines, thoughtful seat placement, and sophisticated materiality that reflects their understanding in the delivery of that highly coveted contemporary café experience.

Stopped by here for a second visit to co-work with a friend, and once again had a nice experience. I got one of their seasonal drinks and a breakfast burrito, and both were delicious. The vibes inside were great, and the service was fast and friendly. Will definitely keep coming back as part of my coffee shop rotation!

Blueberry lemon matcha

I tried night swim for the first time after the winter farmers market. I wasn't sure if I was feeling coffee or matcha, I decided on matcha once I seen they had a seasonal blueberry lemon matcha. I've never had that flavor combo before in a matcha, but I'm so glad I tried it! It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, would definitely recommend!

Masala Chai with almond milk and a Latte with oat milk
Helen D.

Great coffee spot. Very light and bright. Nice spot to work if you're looking for a change from the home office. The coffee is great, but I personally love the Masala Chai! The breakfast sandwich is tasty but could use a little more aioli. It gets absorbed by the brioche so it can get a little lost. Ordering is at the counter and everyone is super friendly and helpful!

Breakfast burrito
Saphace A.

Stopped by Sunday morning for some food and coffee. Not a lot of people here yet so there were lots of parking spots. I got a cappuccino while my sister got the pumpkin spice latte. My sister got the breakfast sandwich which was egg, bacon, and cheese on brioche. I got the breakfast burrito which was pretty filling! The barista recommended it saying it was the most popular burrito on the menu. I was impressed! Everything was good. Hope to come back if we're in the area!

Iced Ube matcha latte! Delicious
Cheryl M.

This was my first visit and I really like this coffee shop. There is space to sip on your favorite brew and work or just grab a coffee and relax. It's spacious. They have gender neutral restrooms and the menu is large. They also have great customer service AND the food is tasty PLUS the coffees are especially delicious! I tried the Ube Matcha Latte! Omg it was good! It's seasonal so I'll have to come back for it before it ends. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center and there is outside seating.

Fun coffee shop with a great variety of coffees and teas. They also have some baked goods. Lots of seating inside that would be perfect for working ( lots of folks taking advantage of the laid-back atmosphere to do so). They have a small patio area outside where you can sit and enjoy your caffeine fix. Parking lot is a little crazy as there are other shops around, and FYI, they do not take cash! The lady in front of me handed me her cash, and I just put it on my card. Overall would definitely go back. Great coffee, baked goods a vibes

On the way to work and decided to stop by this coffee shop for something "different". Went with their iced Vanilla Latte with an extra shot of espresso. Very flavorful and delicious. Not so sweet and I definitely tasted that extra shot which I LOVED & needed. Ordered their Avocado toast and OMG it was the best ever! I love their different ingredients from their micro cilantro, onions, spicy sauce and of course their avocado. It's a bit pricey but I will come back any chance I get to eat it again. Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking spots. Employees were super polite and efficient. The location is small but chic. Couple of seating options both inside and outside.

Seasonal menu as of 12/6/22. Yum!

Stopped by when I was in the neighborhood last week and was pleasantly surprised! Very cute setup inside with real plants! It's a fairly good sized coffee shop, with tables and spaces to work or meet up with folks. The shop is located in Oakhurst, in a plaza with pretty ample parking. I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk and a pumpkin maple muffin. Both were really good! The service was good, place was clean and my coffee was ready pretty quickly. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area!

The book prices are particularly good and make it easy to take a chance on an unfamiliar author or genre. The café serves very good coffee. On this visit I had a cortado, which was strong, smooth and well made. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. What I like most is the atmosphere. During my visit I saw families browsing books while enjoying a drink, friends meeting for coffee and people having informal meetings. It feels like a place where you can spend time rather than simply stop by. The balcony seating looked especially appealing for reading or quiet study, with a good view over the café below. A place with plenty of character, and one I will be returning to again.

The Giddy Goat is an absolute standout local coffee spot in Charlotte…read more Hands down, this is the best nitro cold brew coffee I've ever had--so good that I ended up ordering a second one. You can actually watch the nitro percolating and settling in the glass when it's poured, which is such a treat. To go with the coffee, I ordered the breakfast burrito and a chocolate pastry. The burrito was delicious and generous in size, served with a salsa that brought a great kick without being overbearing. The chocolate pastry was fresh, flaky, and hit the spot. Service from the staff on the first floor was attentive and helpful, and the space has a solid energy to it. Parking is tight (the lot only holds a handful of cars), and while the noise level is moderate, it's nothing a good pair of headphones can't handle if you're looking to get some focus work done. Wish I were a local so I could make this a regular routine. 5 stars!

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.

I love when businesses, especially food trucks have details like that. I ordered the seaside macchiato on their June specialty drink menu. I told the lady working that I prefer my drinks sweet so she suggested that I add more sweetener. They worked at a great pace with the line that they had. The wait wasn't too long. Maybe 5-7 minutes. My name was called and I stepped up for my drink. It was so pretty! I took a sip and immediately realized that it was not sweet enough to my liking. I stirred and received the same outcome. I went back to the window and asked for more sweetener. The guy working was apologetic and took my drink back with no complaint. Unfortunately, as he attempted to place my cup on the counter, the cup fell. He apologized again and remade it. He didn't cuss, fuss, or seem angry, he just remade the drink. That really made an impact because I would've expected a bit of frustration and there wasn't any. He remade my drink and explained that how I wanted it made, he had to add one less espresso shot. I thanked him for his patience and remaking my drink. They have great customer service! I give this company two thumbs up.

I didn't know what to expect since this hidden gem is located on a church campus but such a great experience. It was a Saturday morning, I was anticipating a super crowded/busy place but the morning ended up being super sleepy. I brought a laptop to work on travel planning as my "craft." Super easy to park, connect to wifi and grab snacks and coffee from the wonderful barista. For a while, it was me, the barista, another gentleman (working solo) and two ladies catching up in one of the many tables to catch up at. When my friends arrived, we were able to push two tables together to have enough chairs and table space since people brought diamond paintings, cross stitch, and coloring workbooks to work on. It was a lovely time. A group of ladies did come in later and started playing mah jong. Toward the end of our meetup, folks were coming in with flowers, dresses, and tuxedos in preparation for a wedding happening later that day. Overall a great place to meetup. There's a nice group/conference room that looks like it could be reserved for larger parties, but most of the tables were for two people... three 4-tops and then a couple of other tables with more lounge chairs (for groups of 4). I have an older laptop so I'm stuck looking for power, there were a couple tables situated close to outlets and then a large wrap around bar in the center that I spied a few outlets but not all the seating had access to power.

There's ample seating, and on the Wednesday late morning that I stopped in, a smattering of folks were quietly working.

I got a pineapple-stuffed pastry stick, pan de bono (cheese bread), and guava & cheese empanada to go with our iced brown sugar cinnamon latte & iced vanilla latte (both with oat milk). I love the tropical/Colombian touches to the food offerings, and they were all delish! I especially enjoyed the empanada since it was served hot with a flaky crust and perfect amount of filling. Highly recommend coming in if you're in the area and looking for a caffeine + sweet treat boost!
