Qahwah House was such a cool coffee shop! As a history and coffee nerd, I can honestly say that I…read morethink that this was the first time that a coffee shop made me smarter. That's because they had a huge map outlining the historical trade routes that coffee beans were transported on, as well as an homage to some of the patrons of coffee cultivation. They backed up these historical displays with great customer service, a solid cup of coffee, and a truly mesmerizing ambiance. I've been to so many coffee shops in my life, and Qahwah House was the first time, if not ever, then definitely in a long time, that I felt like I experienced something unique. I loved it. Overall, I loved Qahwah House, and I'll assuredly be back as soon as I can. I'd also recommend it to anybody looking for something new to experience!

First off, the Turkish coffee is amazing! Never burnt, which is my biggest complaint at some of the…read moreother coffee places nearby. But not here! It's fresh, made to order, and a huge serving. I don't even drink the whole pot because that's just too much caffeine for me lol. I also really loved the savory pastries they have, very complimentary to their coffee. The service is very kind and they give you a buzzer to easily come pick up your order when it's ready. The ambiance was great the last time I went in. They had wifi available if I needed it, but it wasn't overpacked so I could work a bit when I first came in and then was able to still hear my friend when she came over. It has nicely spaced tables so you aren't as boxed in as you are in some of the other coffee places in this area. Overall, my favorite place to grab a Turkish coffee in Charlotte. Yummy coffee, nicely spaced tables, free wifi, good service, and not overly packed. My go-to coffee spot in Plaza Midwood!

The popular & intimate venue did not allow much space for conversation, only found 1 seat by the register. Did not see info about wifi but could have missed it as there were def peeps working on laptops- maybe I had to ask for that like I did the bathroom key. Got a good matcha latte in a lovely 'delivery.' Staff was polite, efficient. Dearth of offerings info - again, customers there are likely regulars-- so baristas didn't offer info I didn't expressly ask for. (I couldn't see what the milk subs were for drinks, or decaf options, etc.) The drink was fine but this is not the venue for me. I commuted to get there, & was annoying finding a spot in the close-quarters lot. Then had to stop busy staff to ask for the bathroom key...esplly awkwd since I had to go more than once. (Driving & caffeinating, you know?!) This place was just not my cuppa. .

I got to chat with the baristas, who recommended one of their seasonal drinks. The Blackberry Shortbread Cookie Latte. It was the perfect mix of creamy and sweet, with a distinct "matcha-ey" quality where all the flavors balanced each other out perfectly. I really wish I'd had more time to sit and enjoy it there, the space looked so cozy! You definitely have to give their coffee a try. They have several locations throughout the city, but I highly recommend checking this one out!

The coffee is fantastic, the area around the shop is nice to walk around a bit and the food is FANTASTIC. The avacado toast is one of my favorites in the states.

Since one of my favorite hookah lounges closed I resorted to coming here. I will first start by…read moresaying the hookah is decent and a decent price. They have great flavors and have more than one option for the head of the hookah. The service is 1 out of 10 for me. They do not check on their customers. the ambiance is very lackluster. Especially with two new men who both wear glasses who are there most of the time now they are very rude and I'm not sure if they are related to the owners and that's why they act like they don't care. either way they are not pleasant people. One thing I also would like to point out is that this spot will never open up when it says online. You will be waiting outside for a VERY long time until they open. If I was running this establishment I would be try my best to turn this around. Having ppl wait outside and leave because it is not open at the time it says on line is completely asinine and embarassing as a business owner. I was going to reccomend this place to a friend who does reviews on lounges and restaurants in charlotte. But that would not be favorable to this establishment.

This is a "drinkery" that is uncomplicated by a food menu. This was quite awesome as our last-of-the-day stop. Friendly bartender made Mrs. K. a mocktail. I had a beer - Wooden Robot's "Good Morning Vietnam" which was on Thursday night's special. A pleasant spot, just sitting at the bar and talking, watching three bros playing pool and everyone in a good mood. I have a new spot to bring friends who are visiting Charlotte!

Only thing I would change here is would be nice if a kitchen was attached and they could serve made to order items.

I ended up getting a chicken salad sandwich and chips which was good, just not what I would have chosen for breakfast lol

When I went to redeem my Goodiebag offer the guy working the counter was amazing. I got there very close to closing and he was so sweet. He went into the counter and filled our bag was savory treats. There was around 7/8 items in the bag. Everything he put in the bag was a surprise to us. We noticed a few of the names but they looked alike in the bag. Now we had 2 with hamburger meat/ground beef. They were our favorites. One had ham and cheese and one had corn and cheese. Both were delicious. Small round cheese breads were very chewy. Our least favorite was the hot dog but it wasn't terrible. We opted to get a sweet treat also and loved it also. It was a milk and coconut twisted bread. All in all I was super impressed with what we got and all the delicious flavors. We split the goodie bag items between 3 people and were very satisfied. Romeo and Juliet Brazilian Cafe 1605 Galleria Blvd Ste 105 Charlotte, NC 28270 (Review 16 in 2024 and 816 overall)

I always get the flan it is the best in the state BUT it is not consistent unfortunately and is expensive I keep buying as most of the time it is amazing but when it is not I have not eaten it or tossed it again unfortunate. I do love most of what I get and always try new things and you can fine inside and take tons to go. They have other interesting and international gourmet goodies to treat yourself to. I do wish that all counter staff could communicate in English as I ended up a few times with things I would not have ordered and it was due to miscommunication and again the price is expensive and worth it when on point. I do recommend this spot as there are many reasons to come just make sure you know what you are getting and see about samples maybe before. Cute space tons of parking and easy to access.

If you're craving authentic, satisfying Mediterranean food, this place is a gem. Highly recommend.

They have a huge menu with plenty of options, and everything we tried tasted great. It's primarily a restaurant, but you can also buy packed food items which is a nice bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed the food here. They served generous portions of babaganoush and hummus -- both were delicious. They also gave us complimentary lentil soup, and it was surprisingly good. For entrees, we ordered the lamb shank, which was juicy, tender, and absolutely amazing. The adana kabab was top notch with incredible flavor. The chicken shawarma and chicken kabab could have been a bit more tender, but still enjoyable overall. They also have a large selection of desserts on the menu, so definitely save some room if you can. Overall, we had a great experience at La Shish Kabob -- warm hospitality, big portions, and flavorful food. Would definitely go back!
