    Coffee and cocktails! What a great combo. Husband /wife team found a great spot for this cool place in plaza midwood. It's kinda an old garage all spiffed up with cool artwork and decor and great outside seating . I loved the whole coffee bar concept with alternate later hours cocktails, wine and beer. They have a great menu and they can also add THC to some drinks. Check menu! Service was really great , I sat at the coffee bar and had a cappuccino as I was early to meet some friends for brunch . You pay the servers that are walking around and orders up at the counter. Since I was sitting there they just gave me mine! Great strong coffee. Served up in a pretty glass . If drinking there request a real mug/glass or you get a to go cup. Loved the layout and the seating inside and there is some parking and additional parking . Check their social media on that. Such a fun and cool place , will be back to try the cocktails!

    Visited for the first time this past Sunday (5/3) at around 10:30 am, and the line was out the door! There were plenty of tables both inside & outside. However, there is a veryyyy small parking lot so you're better off parking on the side streets and walking over. Luckily it's very residential & parking is easy to find. There were a LOT of people working this morning & one of the girls came by to each person in line to share the menu & suggestions. She was so nice! Although the line was long, it only took about 10 mins by the time we reached the front. Once we ordered, they told us to sit wherever & that they'd come to us. I took a peek at the screen to see how they would find us, and they made a note to our clothing description which I thought was a cool touch. I ordered the iced matcha banana pudding & my husband ordered a small iced ube latte. Both were delicious! There were also lots of kids & dogs, which they are open to! I saw a few orders that gave a teeny pup cup with it. By the time we left, around 11:30, no one was in line so I guess we came at a prime coffee rush time. All in all, definitely recommend!

    This place was an amazing find. I wanted to go cocktail hunting and this is definitely what I wanted. A place to experiment new flavors and something I can't find everywhere else. And when you start getting weird ingredients, it's easy to mess up! But they didn't. They did it perfectly. The space is open and dog friendly and comfortable and honestly beautiful. Definitely a place have a simple date for drinks, but you made an effort! Hahaha

    Plot twist is truly something special. The drinks are fantastic, I LOVE the concept of their menu and the ability to customize your drink as a cocktail, mocktail, or coffee/match beverage. They have really unique flavor combinations and everything I've tried has been yummy. The space is so cool, I love the vibes both indoor and outdoors, it's such a good place to hang out and enjoy a drink. I'm excited to have a space like this in plaza midwood and excited to see what they do! Everyone who works there is so sweet too.

    This is such a cute cafe. I love the ambiance of the inside it is giving so girly and cuties. On a non-hot day it would be great to sit outside and soak in the sun. We got coffee which was really yummy a little sweet so if u don't like sweet drinks i would recommend half sugar. You do sit down to order any drinks so it does take a little longer but the service is really attentive and quick. Would definitely comeback to try their cocktails

    Super cool spot in CLT! I love the vibe here. One of the first things I noticed was the decor. I love the bar stools! They have a nice selection of coffees, cocktails and mocktails. I stepped way out of my comfort zone and got the Brown Sugar Cardamom Coffee. I've never had anything like it. It was like a carbonated dirty soda coffee which yes, sounds weird, but I'm telling you it works! There was also a line but it went by super fast. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful with the menu. You order at the bar, then they bring it to you. There's a nice outdoor area for seating. Parking could be really tough here, we somehow got lucky and snagged the last spot in the small lot. Be careful pulling out and turning right, too, the right side of the sidewalk sticks way up.

    Went opening weekend and it was a great spot! Lots of space and great if you go on a nice day and can enjoy their awesome outdoor area. Inside is also very vibey and cozy - especially if you try out their upcoming cocktail menu I can't wait to try! Explored something new and got the recommended banana pudding matcha - WOW. I didn't think matcha would be for me but this was spectacular. Such a good flavor and a twist on a classic. Can't wait to come back and try more !!!

    This is a cool new cocktail and coffee bar located near Plaza Midwood right off of Central Ave! They are located in an old warehouse and definitely kept that aesthetic with large garage doors they keep open when it's time to enjoy the nice weather. Inside they have plenty of lounge seating along with some groovy carpets and eclectic decorations that give it the funky cafe vibe. Their menu has a unique system that offers a variety of flavor profiles that can be ordered in different ways. They offer cocktails, coffee, and mocktails. So it's almost like using a bingo card, you decide what flavor you want and then let the know how you want it. It's a fun unique idea and my group and I enjoyed it. It was especially nice for my friends who didn't want to drink as it offered an easy way to enjoy mocktails that are comparable to the alcoholic ones everyone else is enjoying. Like most cocktail bars the drinks can be pricy so if you plan on trying multiple different cocktails be prepared to spend some dough. Aside from that though give this place a chance on your next night out. It makes a great place to start an epic plaza midwood night!

    This place is so cute!!! Came on a Saturday afternoon and I got the Ube Coconut cocktail. I'm not being dramatic, but this is probably the best tasting cocktail I've ever had. The taste is so unique, but delicious. I slurped it down and had 2. My boyfriend had the one under it, mountain something with blueberry, lemon, and ginger. Also delicious! Coming back in the morning to try to coffee. Service was great, and interior was also so cute. What a great spot!

    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague…read morerecommended we come here after dinner for drinks. There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

    Ugh, I so wanted to LOVE this place! It's in my friend's neighborhood and near some other spots we…read morelove. But it just hit me as average. It's a small intimate setting and I do love the dark aesthetic they did. Gives it a swanky vibe and makes a great date spot. But they were burning incense in the tiny space and it was overwhelming. The other bar guests sitting next to us agreed. *They did finally pick up on it and the staff moved it toward the kitchen door* Staff was friendly as well, though, it was busy and looked as if they had a trainee in tow, so attention was lacking just a bit. So why we came: The drinks were average to me. One was weird (Pineapple Fried Rice) and I just couldn't get it sit well on my palate - and I tried - sip after sip. But the mixologist saw my struggle and swapped it out for a different one. I did like the Don't Shy Away - it was an interesting take on a margarita with a strong carrot base. The Whispering Dove was a take on a Paloma and I couldn't find the lemongrass infusion on my palate. So I found it pretty basic, but pricey. So overall, decent. And I might stop buy if I was stuck in the area again.

Being there felt like I was in my house, from the plants, to them playing Beverly Hills Cop on the projector and all of the Black artists on the walls. It was very refreshing!!! It's so rare to go to a business and see anything familiar so this was truly inspiring. We stayed for about 30 mins because we got there right before they closed. It was fun to explore the hotel rooms and just be in this dope energy. I didn't have a full cocktail, just sipped and tried a few of my friends. I can see this being a great date night spot, or some where to go to unwind and just catch the vibes. I wish it was bigger but it's a cute spot for sure!! I was super surprised about the parking lot in the back too. That has to be very helpful for them in Plaza Midwood area. Will definetly be back!!

    So this place is very cool and very vibey. There are DJs and the projection is a really nice touch…read more The menu is small and drinks are interesting - I got something with sage in it and was good. The issues we faced were not having a reservation - the options online were wide open so we thought it was safe to show up - and had to wait a long time. In hindsight, I should've went ahead and made the reservation, so I'll take responsibility, but was disappointing for the experience to be so different than we expected. We were able to sit outside and waited for about 40 mins to get our table. Service was very slow. It just felt like they were really understaffed. We were there for probably 2ish hours and only got 1 drink (the one outside) as it was so hard to flag down our waitress, etc. I suspect that this place, having recently received awards / gone viral, is a victim of a huge influx of people stopping by. I wanted to love it! I'd go back during off hours and definitely make a reservation. The vibe was really cool, and the music was great. Parking is questionable, there's a gravel lot that is shared with the restaurant next door. We parked on the street, was unclear if they tow there or not.

    Honestly some of the most rude, negligent service I've experienced in a while…read more Context: Bar was at 25% capacity I pride myself on being a genial, accommodating person Attempted multiple times to thoughtfully engage staff From the moment we entered, our service staff was either dismissive, condescending, or negligent. Could not leave fast enough. The overall decor and vibe was great, just our assigned person was lackluster in every regard. EDIT (5/27/28): When we entered and sat down, to the bartenders credit, he swiftly asked us what we wanted. As we were describing the general vibe of the drinks we wanted, the attitude of the bartender manifested as very condescending and lacking in general back-and-forth discourse. Despite the dismissive attitude, but after the drinks were made, we attempted to thank the bartender, but his only response was a derisive chortle before walking off. For the remainder of our stay, he was flirting with some female patrons at the other end of the bar. Sharing pictures, conversation, and general good service while we were ignored until we asked for the check to pay and leave as quickly as possible.

The menu this time is theme park theme... again, a fun concept but not well executed. Pretty overwhelming, especially with the bartenders explaining the menu to us twice with the same spiel there is too much to look at it makes it difficult to pay attention to the drinks. I really did not love my drink (starbreaker?) you could only taste the lychee The bartenders not a vibe, it was not that comfortable to sit at the bar. They now serve food, hotdogs... which do NOT match the vibe at all, so that was interesting that their only food (other than the free popcorn) is not hot dogs..

    This place blue my mind…read more I was visiting my best friend while in town for a conference on amusement ride standards. We had a reservation for Blue Door for Saturday night, and it was amazing. Now while she was vaguely aware of their "spirited kingdom" menu, I had NO CLUE. It was the best surprise! They have such a cool menu with a full theme park map containing 4 lands with 4 cocktails each. The cocktails all match the type of ride they are, it's honestly such a cool idea, and it was so well done. I loved the art. I will say, I was skeptical that all of their drinks would actually work and worried that they'd be too caught up in the theme to make results but . . . Oh my goodness I was so impressed by the drinks here. I think a lot of bars these days can get so caught up in trying to be unique that their drinks become nearly undrinkable. This place definitely doesn't suffer there. They brought us an aperitif when we came in, but unfortunately I have a blueberry allergy so we skipped that. We had 4 drinks between the 2 of us and they were all awesome. I ordered the star breaker and the green dragon (what can I say, I love gin and a good coaster), and they were both balanced and tasty. My friend got the diablo and the neon shift, and they were both fantastic as well! The neon shift was served with a black light too which was super cute. The one drink I have to call out specifically is the green dragon. There was something about this drink that was so unique, I have genuinely never had anything like it but I would order it a thousand times over. It's so good. It keeps me up at night. It haunts my every bar order. I will be writing home about it. What else can I say about this place - the service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the DJ was amazing. I thought "wow this guy really likes sax covers" only to look over and see him PLAYING HIS SAXOPHONE LIVE?? Iconic. This place was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The spirited kingdom menu will only be around for 6 months according to the waitress, so definitely catch it while it's there! If I'd heard about it sooner, I would've maybe descended upon them with 200+ theme park engineers in town for the conference (maybe it's a good thing I didn't know they were there until after it was over), but instead I will just say DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW
