Love the minimalist design of this coffee shop! The best part is the unique and colorful walls. They add a nice pop of color to the shop without being tacky. This is a very instagramable place where you can take fun pictures with friends. I ordered the iced vanilla latte and it was very good. I will definitely be back to try other coffees and food item. They also sell beer and wine, so I may try those too. This is a great place to meet up with friends and even get some work done too. read more

Thank you, Stable Hand! I enjoyed a dirty vanilla chai with the cutest latte art. This coffee shop is comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and has great tunes (one of my favorite songs even played!). You can easily chat with a friend or enjoy some work. Dakota Aiyanna, a local black artist, did the mural in here. read more

Stable Hand has quickly become my new favorite spot to grab breakfast and a coffee. Its a cute, little place with homey vibes on the inside, making it a great place to work from home. The service is always great with super friendly staff. They offer seasonal beverages and items on the menu year round. I dream about the overnight oats. It's not an exaggeration when I say Stable Hand's overnight oats are the best I have ever had! read more

Solid little casual spot for coffee and brunch. We ordered some iced coffees, rice porridge and a chorizo biscuit that was super yummy to-go. Both items were still quite warm when we got home and very flavorful which was great. read more

We just moved to the Charlotte area and have been trying the local coffee shops. Would love to give this place more stars but there were a few issues I had. 1. The cashier was a bit rude, not what I expect at a craft coffee shop 2. The hot oat latte we had may as well have been iced, it was the most Luke warm coffee I've ever had Overall, it's great espresso, but that comes more down to the roaster than to anything else. Maybe they were having a bad day so I'll come again, but for now, 3 stars it is. read more

Stable Hand - a glass of iced coffee and a bowl of soup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I need to go to this coffee shop more often! I've been a few times since they've open and have always been impressed. It is situated in the middle of SouthEnd and right off the lightrail. I love how they have their own parking lot and I haven't had an issue so far snagging a spot. The interior is clean and simple with ample amount of seating. They have outdoor seating as well. It is a perfect place to work or to hangout with friends. I have yet to try their food items but their drinks have always been delicious. My go-to drinks are usually a Dirty Chai Latte or an Oat Milk Cappinccino. Staff is always friendly and they have unisex bathrooms. My friends and I worked there once and it was great! They have these large tables by the window and fast WiFi. I also love how it's not very loud in there. Highly recommend this spot! read more

I love coming here! The vibes are so relaxed and the space is beautiful. I usually order a bottle of wine to share. They offer organic natural wines that are not sugared up. I also love their coffee drinks because they develop incredible seasonal favors that I've never seen anywhere else. The food is great, I have tried almost everything on the menu which also rotates with the seasons. Don't miss this spot to sip and snack and vibe. read more

Stable Hand - Miso marinated brekky sando - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Realized I haven't written about Stable Hand! Hubby and I stopped by over the summer to have a glass of wine and loved the new layout and feel of this space (even though we sat outside LOLz). Was also here on a Saturday with a larger group of women, and their communal tables are great. Lovely vibe with excellent coffee/tea selections, plus, wine. And also appreciate that they carry unsweetened matcha :):):) One wish: they offered a few other pastries that were GF, very few shops do, and this would definitely be awesome. read more

This place is a pleasant surprise. First of all it's hidden and hard to see from the street. I would've never found this place if it wasn't my monthly Offline offer. Also not a menu I would typically be interested in....there a lot of porridge and pastries. The inside is so bright and clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The cold brew was good but kind of a smaller glass. They have lattes on tap that looked good. I decided to try the savory porridge--I've never had porridge in my life and it sounds like baby food to me but omg it was life changing. The flavors the came out of this bowl were just overwhelmingly good. It was very sweet chili/miso/garlicish. Yum! read more

Stable Hand has quickly become my favorite coffee shop in Charlotte. Their latte is delicious! I got mine with almond milk. It's right off the light rail and perfect for a morning cup of coffee after walk/run. I've only ordered coffee-to-go, but I'd love to sit there sometime to do some work! read more

Stopped here this morning for a vanilla latte and strawberry basil biscuit. The place has a very open airy feel and pretty quiet - lots of people on their computers or having quiet conversations. The coffee flavor was very good and not overly sweet. The biscuit was delicious with fresh strawberries and basil. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Stable Hand - Vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Had to get some coffee after dropping my pups off for grooming in South End, and like any good Charlottean, I looked for a local place place to support. I didn't have to look far. Good Bottle on Remount opened a small coffee addendum a while back, and more recently they shifted to just coffee. Anyways, they have a simple coffee bar menu with "brekky and lunch-ish" foods. I opted for a vanilla latte with their house vanilla, but was very tempted to try the seasonal flavor, which included tonic. Probably too much for my early morning palate, but next time for sure. If you need to mix up your coffee and breakfast routine, do not overlook these guys. Super nice, knowledgeable about their product, and happy to chat. PS- they have taken all of the appropriate measures for covid management- plastic screens up, masks at all times, demarcated "6 feet apart" lines, and their register is contactless. My stamp of approval. Still need local beer and wine? Don't worry, they have it. Just a lot less, so I'm assuming their picks are incredibly well thought out. The few beers I browsed included Resident Culture and Fonta Flora. I will be back! read more

Loved this cafe! So many great food options and the drinks were amazing. Not to mention everything was very affordable. I highly recommend added the potatoes to any of your breakfast options. I can't wait to come back and try some of their lunch options read more

The service is friendly, patient, and efficient. I had the Brown Sugar Rosemary Latte. It was fabulous!

Such a cute coffee shop! The art on the walls on the inside is awesome. I stopped here after a long walk and got the warm apple biscuit with whipped cream and it was DELICIOUS! Definitely want to come back and try other things on the menu. They also have beer and wine! Was easy to find a seat since it was nice out but pretty busy on the inside. read more

Stable Hand - Warm apple biscuit with whipped cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This location has undergone some changes since I first moved to the neighborhood and for me a lot of the magic is gone. Originally this was a bottle shop with rows and rows of obscure and hard to find craft beers. Eclectic looking bottles with ingredients you would never think to find in a beer. They also had a small bar in the back with a few taps making it a viable place to hang out. Eventually they removed some shelve space and allowed Hex Coffee to operate inside as well. I was a little thrown off by this as the two didn't seem like a natural fit but I really enjoyed the draft vanilla latte from Hex and I grew to accept its presence there. After this final transformation all semblance of a bottle shop is gone. I saw one lonely shelf with beer on it but besides that there was hardly anything that indicated it was more than a coffee shop. The interior is what some would call minimalist but to me it looked the same as every other coffee shop. I came here with some friends since they wanted coffee and I wanted beer so I figured this would serve both our needs. We had to wait in a long line and the people making coffee were the same ones pouring beer so after I placed my order I had to wait for them to finish making several coffee drinks before they would serve me a beer. Then my friends had to wait for their coffee drinks which took quite some time and I started to wonder what the point of even ordering the beer was. My friends did not enjoy their drinks. After we all finished I kind of wanted another beer but I didn't want to wait in line and go through that ordering process all again so we just shrugged it off and left. I think they should just fully embrace that they are a coffee shop now. There is no semblance of a bar or even a bottle shop atmosphere so there isn't really a point to have beer. Before it felt like a relaxing place to sit but now it seems hurried with lines of people just coming in to grab coffee and not much seating room. This concept may still do well with the trendy South End crowd but for me it just felt like a waste of time. I don't think I will be back. read more

The latte was good. Espresso was smooth and milk had a nice foam. I also ordered an orange cardamom sweet bun that was a warm bun with a nice frosting and candied orange on top. The service was pleasant but I would not recommend if you are in a hurry. This would be a good place to meet and friend and chat. Not too loud and a very warm, welcoming feeling. read more

Great iced and hot coffee! Really cute but small coffee shop. Super laid back with really nice workers. Little wine selection too

My barista was a slender blonde with ink up her arms. She had a passion for coffee and made just enough connection to make me feel welcome while still being time-efficient. The coffee was brewed perfectly and the serving size was delightful. I'm a "hot, black, and bitter" kinda guy, so I don't love a lot of liquid with my go-power. Great vibe in the room, VERY busy, so that was a great sign, and the price point was A-OK. All in all? An excellent experience. I look forward to getting my afternoon pick-me-up when I'm back in the neighborhood from Stable Hand. read more

I love a quaint little coffee shop and this one is now on my list. I admit I didn't know or hear about this until a Yelp Elite Perk came about. It is so cool inside and actually outside as well. You can sit and observe the scenery of South End. And this stuffed bacon biscuit is so good. So good!!! And the prices are not gonna break your pockets. Even better!!! read more

Stable Hand is usually my favorite breakfast spot. Lately, they have been SO off. The best item on the menu is the savory porridge, but the last couple times I've come in they've been out of porridge. The employees seem to be in a bad mood and unapologetic for being out of staple items. When I asked if a coffee item was in stock, they said it's out but didn't offer any alternative options. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was so small. Disappointed by my experiences here lately! read more

My favorite coffee shop in Charlotte!! Love the draft vanilla latte and staff is always friendly!

A cute place to sit & sip alone or with friends! The coffee is well made and many good flavor combinations are offered. Their menu has a little something for everyone read more

Coffee is good! Overall there's a few folks that work there that are really short and rude. Although the coffee is good I would recommend another place in south end read more

Witnessed a guy filling up his dogs bowl directly from the water tap at the coffee bar which is absolutely abhorrent. The coffee was fine, but I can't believe the staff let him directly touch the dogs slobber bowl to the spigot - that should be a health code violation if it isn't already. read more

Simply the best coffee I've ever had. I'm from Phoenix and am considering a move to Charlotte just so I can experience a Stablehand vanilla latte daily. read more

Spent a great Sunday afternoon here catching up on work. The staff is friendly and the interior is very cute. I love that they have indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great place to come any time of day because they serve alcohol in addition to coffee and breakfast. I had an iced latte and a delicious sausage breakfast sandwich. read more

We got there at 6:11 and they said the espresso machine was "close" you can't have a business about coffee and 6:11 tell people you can't make a espresso anyways we walk away to another coffee shop, of course I'm not recommend. They may not lose their business because of us but bad bad customer s! read more

Vining hard with this place. I love the coffee (Hex is my favorite roaster in Charlotte), and the natty wine and beer selection is great too. This isn't a bottle shop with an espresso machine in the corner anymore, it's a cohesive concept done by some great people. Am I weird that I find wood stools more comfortable than overstuffed sofas in a cafe? I used to work in a cafe with a big ole sofa. It was gross. Trust me, the stool is better. read more

This was my first time visiting here for a business meeting and it is a newly opened establishment in Southend. They serve coffee tea some pastries and some hot breakfast foods. They had a very limited menu to choose from but things that sounded good. There also was NO pastries for the most part and nothing really struck me to purchase and the case was pretty empty so makes it not exciting. They only had honey liquid for my tea and no sugar options like Sweet n Low which there should be. I ordered what sounded great a Sourdough bread with salt butter and jam week the bread was cut a bit too thick and was cold!! Should be HOT and lightly toasty. The salt butter was nice and the jam tastY but over all not good due to the bread preparation. My associatw got the same thing and felt the same way. The atmosphere while new and bright was stark and a bit cold not where I would stay to hang out and work. All in all just nice but not special and did not make me want to come back again. I asked if they had a card for owner or GM to set up a meeting to talk about consulting for them and no cards so I left mine! I hope they call me. I would not say I would not recommend but not really saying you need to check it out either. There are too many other spots that do it much better! read more

Great spot with cool music and friendly service. There was an issue with my order and they made it right immediately. Food was good too!

Stable Hand is such a cool place to go and have a coffee, or some wine. The environment is comfortable and the decor is cool. But, most of all, the coffee is smooth and tastes great. It's probably one of the few cups of coffee I enjoy with no cream or sugar! Go give it a shot. You only have $3 or $4 to lose. read more

Great coffee! They don't have food outside of snacks. The vibe is super cute inside, and they have a patio!

Stable Hand. The shop is super clean and open, cool bar top and outside seating, as well as tables and a big long bench that runs the length of a wall. Very comfortable. The crew that works there is great, both of the girls I've dealt with at the counter are kind, knowledgeable and ready to explain anything. The chef is great, he's always friendly and brings out your food, which is consistently good. He also changes up certain ingredients or dishes based on what's fresh and seasonal, and I've always been happy with my brekky sando. Haha. My drinks have always been spot on. Teas brewed perfectly, never bitter, always flavorful whether iced or hot. My coffees have always been delicious. Shots pulled and served perfectly. I'm always happy here. Do it. read more
