    Stable Hand is a cool spot to work. I came by in between several meetings while in South End to just sit, eat and work. It was a little busy inside so I grabbed a seat at the coffee bar after I ordered. They had outlets underneath so that was perfect! I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a matcha latte with oat milk and loved both. The sandwich was kinda tiny but it was only $7 so I wasn't mad at all lol. It was good and so was my matcha. The service was good and I just love this spot for chill vibes.

    Wonderful coffee spot. I enjoyed a latte with a unique syrup, that I now forget the name of of course. Ha! Barista was very friendly and helpful in describing the flavors. While the pastry case was being restocked when I was there, I enjoyed a breakfast sandwich that now makes all others taste boring. The sausage and peppers were so flavorful. Highly recommend!

    After moving to Charlotte, I was didappointed at the amount of coffee shops with lackluster lattes. Stable Hand was the turning point for me! I am even luckier that it's close enough to walk to from the rail line. The vibes in here are cozy and they have wine and board games too, which makes me wish they were open late. Staff is always friendly and the place is clean. The food portions are quite small for their prices, but I just skip food and get my daily coffee here.

    I stopped by Stable Hand in South End for a pre-work breakfast with a friend, and it's such a charming spot! The minimalist decor gives the space an open, airy vibe, and with only a couple of people there when I arrived around 7:45 AM, it felt calm and relaxing. The sweet barista let me know I could place my coffee order right away, but the kitchen didn't open until 8:00 AM. I went with the Mexican Mocha (dark chocolate, cinnamon, serrano peppers, espresso, milk, and a toasted marshmallow) and the Bacon Brekky Sando (honey-glazed bacon, roasted peppers & onions, egg, cheese on brioche). The Verdict: Bacon Brekky Sando - Tasty but on the smaller side. I couldn't really detect the peppers or onions, and I think a sauce like sriracha would've elevated it even more. Mexican Mocha - I was expecting more heat from the serrano peppers, but it leaned more toward a rich, dark hot cocoa flavor. It wasn't very sweet, even with the toasted marshmallow on top. If you prefer a sweeter coffee, I'd suggest adding extra sugar. The barista also mentioned the White Miso Butterscotch Latte as a sweeter option, and I'll definitely try that next time! Stable Hand is a perfect spot for a laid-back morning coffee run--looking forward to exploring more of their menu!

    great spot for working! coffees are huge and not super expensive. both drinks were fabulous. i got the white miso butterscotch latte. the flavors were not super overpowering! the brown sugar rosemary was the perfect flavor combo. great spot to work or catch up with friends. there's outlets everywhere and small/large tables. there's also a nice outdoor area for seating in the summer too!

    Stable Hand was a cool, upscale coffee shop! I just got a black coffee, which is admittedly hard to screw up, but it was still pretty good, the staff was friendly, and the ambiance was very unique, even for the standards of coffee shops. I don't if it's the kind of coffee shop that I would go to to study, but I'd love to meet some friends there sometime. Would recommend!

    This spot has a modern vibe. I liked that each table had its own plug, which is super convenient if you're working remotely. One downside was that the tables were pretty close together, not a huge deal, but something to keep in mind. I ordered the white miso butterscotch drink, which was good. The staff were friendly and helpful with their suggestions. Nice spot to work and grab a cup of coffee.

    Cortado at Stable Hand, Charlotte
    Bruce K.

    A delightful coffee shop, decorated in a rather spartan manner. On a Friday morning, quite peaceful as I enjoyed my second coffee of the day. I love coffee shops that have a cortado on the menu. It tells me that they're not one of those button pushing baristas like at the Green Siren people. No, this is real coffee and real art. Served in the proper short glass, this coffee was excellent. Sitting with my laptop and able to pound out a few emails and maybe even a Yelp review, this was a great little space for working. A very enjoyable morning indeed.

    Solid go-to coffee shop. Always receive great service, coffee is high quality and the food is delicious. You'll find people meeting for coffee, working remote or just enjoying the coffee shop. Definitely worth stopping in!

    This was a very nice and relaxed coffee and wine shop! A perfect place to work or grab a drink with friends. It is small on the inside but the service and quality was great! I ordered the bacon sandwich and the brown sugar rosemary latte. Everything was pretty tasty and I would definitely recommend trying one of their seasonal drinks.

    Good quality coffee (my cold brew was solid) and they have a nice-looking selection of wines. Some people were posted up working both in and outside so it seems like a solid wfh cafe. Service was friendly and efficient. Would be 5 stars if they had some gluten free snackies!

    Really awesome space with great coffee. Have been a customer since they opened in 2019 and is my favorite cold brew in Charlotte. Everyone is always so nice and comforting. 10/10 recommend!

    Didn't love this coffee shop. To be fair, I don't drink coffee but love sitting on patios and catching up on my work and reviews. It was pretty warm outside so I got an iced chai latte with oat milk. The staff member wasn't necessarily helpful or welcoming. I said I'm not a coffee drinker and was looking over the menu to see my other options and he kind of just stood there. Getting an iced chai here is not a good idea. The cup is a standard size but it was filled to the brim with ice and and had absolutely no chai taste. If anything it was like I was drinking cinnamon oat milk. Maybe a plus for some but not what I was expecting that for $6.50. My boyfriend got the 8oz house coffee and was disappointed because it wasn't hot. The inside was full so we sat on the patio for a little bit closer to the dog shop. Those tables aren't covered so we didn't get to stay long. Too much laptop glare. Based on the location I can see how this place can get and stay busy but it just wasn't for me.

Despite the crowd, it was quick to get drinks at any of their bars (under 5 min wait in line). Unfortunately, I also wanted food and that wait was extremely long. You can order food on their app or at one of the registers on the 1st floor. The cashier ringing me up quoted me 45 minutes before taking my order. It ended up being 70 minutes. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and it came with a side. I picked fries. They text you when the food is ready to be picked up. The wrap and fries were average and definitely not worth the wait. My friend got their pretzel sticks appetizer. Her food was delicious. All the employees were in good spirits! The brewery is indoors and outdoors with tables sprinkled throughout. After 20 minutes of searching, we found a table inside. I would try this place again simply for their pretzel sticks, but would make sure it's not during a busy game day if I'm super hungry.

It's a nice open space with outdoor tables too (none out of the sun were available for us though, so we sat inside at a four top). Right in the thick of all the other restaurants and shops, but it holds its own. They have a good beer/wine/cocktail selection, as well as some NA and D9 alternatives. With it being so hot out and us having just finished walking around outside, we all just stayed hydrated with water. For our entrees, there was a variety of french dips, burgers, and grilled cheeses ordered. The food came out in a timely manner and we all devoured our plates, so I think that's a good sign. Pretty standard price point too- all around, perfect spot for late afternoon bite and hanging out a bit with some good company. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I would recommend and definitely revisit myself. @azfitfoodfun

The German biers are some of the best I've tried. Both the Cooper altbier and Hornets Nest were excellent while their porter was a little too heavy for me. There's a full bar for the non beer drinkers . OMB features a huge selection of food items including German classics like pork schnitzel, wursts and the Bavarian or classic Jumbo pretzels. I'd recommend the sampler plate with the Jalapeño Cheddar Bratwurst as one choice ( you get three) and Jumbo Pretzel with Cooper Bier cheese & Düsseldorf mustard. The sides, such as their German potato salad, red cabbage and sauerkraut are very good. In addition theres a good selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads to choose from. The outside venue is amazing with ample outside seating featuring a fire pit, corn hole ( collect bags at the bar), children's playground and a water station for pets. Overall a great place to grab a beer and enjoy some authentic German style food at reasonable pricing. In addition OMB features private rooms for special events. One note parking could be problematic when it gets busy on weekends or special occasions but if you're willing to walk you'll find parking somewhere .

    I love a place that lives their motto. "drink good beer, do good things"…read more The place: wide open with plenty of seating inside and out. I feel even if it's packed, there's still ample room to not feel like sardines. The food: delicious in all of their offerings. Fries were perfectly crisp and not oily. The hummus was well balanced and tasty. The beer: my initial only reason to visit. But tasting their offerings had me sold and ready to give them all my money. So here's why they live their motto. The cans we bought started leaking, we went back and asked if the leakage was a problem. They asked a few questions and profusely apologized and gave us two six packs of their beer with no charge. I tried to pay but they refused. They could have just said "sorry to hear" and sent us on our way but they made us whole. Plus, their code of conduct is awesome and should be a standard for all businesses. We're fans forever. Not only of their food and beer, but their values. Thank y'all so much!!
