We're visiting from Miami and a friend suggested we check out Camp North End because they thought…read morewe'd love it... wow. What an experience. The vibes are everywhere. Food, music, kids running around, games, activities, there's so much going on and the place is HUGE. Someone told me it's around 700 acres and honestly, it felt like it. We got there a little later in the day so a lot of the stores had already closed, which was the only downside. Definitely gives you a reason to come back because there was clearly so much more to explore. We'll absolutely be returning next time we're in town.

Came to this place this evening(after work) as I do at least 2/3 times out the week. Went to the…read moredeli for a sub. As we all kno" ANY " FOOTLONG SUB IS ON SALE. I asked for a Turkey, bacon and cheese sub. He goes to say, "oh that's extra meat". I asked, how? Then went to say that I've never been told that and I'm there often. The guy continues on with his reasonings. I was lost and confused by this time. So, I let him know that I didn't mind paying for what I wanted. That was just some new info to me. He started going about how not charging affects his bonus pay and this that and the third. I didn't ask him for any of that info. Carried out so bad, he ended up burning up the bacon. I kindly let him know he burned my bacon. He picks it up and look at it. I replied again, "it's burned, I don't want it"... Trying to be nasty and look, bacon turned out to be useless. Hopefully "he's" paying for it, smh. And I doubt that he will. I never want to encounter him ( older, black American guy) again.'Never had that problem with anyone else. Sometimes the line can be extra long or there's been a time when they were out of white bread(but the young guy, took care of that for me)... This guy was rude, too old to carry the situation out like he did. I was fresh off work, tired and all(still in uniform). I had no time for that type energy. I was trying to grab dinner and get home. That's it and that is all. I work in an executive kitchen in Uptown, we please and take care of our customers. I would do the same and give the same energy even if it was QT, Subway and any other place. I ended up purchasing the sub as well as a pack of Oscar Myers fully cooked bacon strips( again I do not mind, paying for what I want). The service and experience was horrible. He needs to stay off front line. Especially tell me, the customer... "If I don't charge, it affects my bonus. Go get who usually serves you and I'll tell them too. See, I don't mind. They must not know"... ... Pissed me off, so UNPROFESSIONAL. I'm sure the few who were behind me in line heard him also. They ended up walking away.

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!

Review for Sprouts Farmers Market…read more As a foodie transplant from the West Coast, I was curious to see how this newer location in NoDa would stack up--especially since this style of grocery concept paired with residential living has been popular out west for years. Having a market as the anchor for a large apartment complex is a smart move and a fantastic amenity for residents who want convenience right at their doorstep. First impressions: The store is clean, bright, well-stocked, and thoughtfully laid out. It still feels new, and the team does a great job keeping everything organized and inviting. Parking is surprisingly easy thanks to the garage at the base of the building, which is a big plus given the busy intersection at Tryon and North Davidson. What I really enjoy: * The bulk section is one of the highlights--I can easily get lost browsing spices, grains, and specialty ingredients. * The whole body and wellness section is also strong, with a nice variety of products that make browsing fun. * They carry some delightful bakery items, like their brioche buns, which are soft, flavorful, and perfect for an elevated burger night at home. A thoughtful note for fellow shoppers: Prices are generally competitive, but it's still worth keeping an eye on them, as some items can run higher depending on the category. One area where I personally still lean toward other retailers is in the sustainable animal protein space. I appreciate stores that clearly communicate sourcing and animal welfare standards, so I continue to purchase most of my proteins elsewhere. That said, Sprouts shines in many other categories, especially pantry staples, produce, and specialty items. Overall, this location is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. It's convenient, enjoyable to shop, and offers a fresh, modern grocery experience. Whether you live nearby or are just exploring NoDa, it's definitely worth stopping in and seeing what they have to offer. Bottom line: Clean, convenient, fun to browse, and a great neighborhood market--with standout bulk and wellness sections that make repeat visits easy.

Great liquor store!!…read more So I came looking for a drink called "Coquito" which is the Puerto Rican version of egg nog (mainly a holiday drink). This was my first time coming to an ABC liquor store down south and it was a great experience! First let me start off when I came in, I noticed this place was very clean. Every item was in order and the store was very easy to navigate (each section being categorized "rum", "whiskey" etc). Although I kinda knew they wouldn't have my drink (I called around to other liquor stores and they had no idea what I was talking about) I thought I would inquire with the staff since I was here anyway. Not to my surprise, they didn't know what I was talking about BUT they were super helpful in telling me other options and letting me know that I could make it myself. They also "reassured the purchase" by telling me to let them know how it came out. This store had friendly staff- more than enough parking, was very clean and had everything that I needed- I would highly recommend this place of business!
