There are so many pastry options to choose from that it was honestly hard to decide -- everything looked fresh and beautifully prepared. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The pâtisserie has a comfortable, quiet, and very clean atmosphere, making it a great place to sit and enjoy a coffee and pastry without feeling rushed. Its central location in Charlotte also makes it a convenient spot to stop by while exploring the area. We really enjoyed our visit and the relaxed atmosphere. The combination of great coffee, delicious pastries, welcoming staff, and a comfortable setting makes Chez Marie Pâtisserie a place we'll definitely return to!

Located inside the Carillion office tower on trade street you will find Arbol Eatery tucked away…read more It is a small and relaxing cafe that serves coffee, smoothies, and some delicious sandwiches including a very good quesadilla! It kind of has the vibe of a hotel lounge with comfortable couches and chairs for seating. Their menu isn't large or extensive but they do a great job with what they provide. I could see myself coming here regularly if it was located closer to my office. The amount of plants is a nice bonus as it adds to the relaxing atmosphere. The name Arbol Eatery really suits it. If you find yourself wandering Uptown and are in need of a quick bite or maybe just a place to lounge you should head to Carillion and find this place.

While visiting Charlotte, we stopped by Arbol Eatery and were honestly impressed! We tried four…read moresandwiches -- El Italiano, El Cubano, and Chicken torta -- plus the Caprese, and each one had its vibe and flavor. The standout for us was definitely the Cuban -- a super creative take on a classic, with that perfect balance of "original with a twist." El Italiano was a close second, packed with flavor and just the right texture. The torta was solid too, just a little spicy for my like, but I never checked if it was, and the Caprese made for a fresh, lighter option, it was missing the fresh mozzarella and fresh tomatoes. Service was fair. Overall, the place has a chill vibe, the food came out quickly, and we'd come back to try more of the menu.

They all looked amazing! Get there early because they sell out quick. I went at 11:30 am on a Sunday and they still had some chocolate pistachio croissants. I also ordered a beef empanada, which they serve after 11am. The chocolate pistachio croissant was so flaky and buttery, but not overly sweet or heavy. It reminded me of pastries in Europe. You could really taste the quality. The beef empanada was huge! It was also loaded with beef and veggies. The flavor was amazing as well. The pastry was super flaky and fresh. Overall, everything was amazing and I can't wait to try other items!

Its a huge empanada, so different from the other empanada spots in the area and also so cheap. Would 100% recommend and am excited to try the chicken one and curry one in the future Staff is super friendly and takes the time to discuss the pastries with you if you have questions. Saw them making some of the items for the next day and was in awe

Once we were seated we both had the pumpkin pancakes with chicken sausage. I had bacon with mine instead of the eggs. I had an earl grey tea and my husband had coffee. We didn't wait long and our food was very good. Our server was pleasant and accommodating. However, a $47.00 (including tip) price tag is madness for coffee, tea and two pancakes breakfasts. We might return in the future but we wouldn't make this a regular place to eat because I think it's a little too expensive.

I highly recommend this café! There are about 10 tables inside and several outside.

The menu has plenty of options and the baked goods on display look very nice. The man who took our order was super sweet and greeted us as soon as we walked in. It was also wheelchair accessible! Little tight inside to navigate though. There was also only one gender-neutral bathroom which had a line for it when we were there. We got the Bulgogi beef bun, the pistachio latte w/tache and the brown sugar vanilla latte w/ salted cream. Everything was delicious!!! It was probably the first pistachio latte I've ever had that I could actually taste the pistachio. The brown sugar vanilla latte was very aesthetically appealing and tasty.

220C Banh Mi and Coffee is a cute and little local cafe that sells banh mi, drinks, and pastries!…read moreThe inside is not the largest, but it does have this somewhat peaceful and zen atmosphere (possibly due to the bamboo wallpaper) so it seems like it would be a great work or study space. In terms of the service, I thought it was good. I asked for two banh mis but was informed that there were only enough ingredients for one so I was refunded for the extra banh mi I had paid for! I ordered the Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi and Vietnamese Iced Coffee. I was worried there would be no Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi left because at other cafes that sell this option, it runs out FAST. Luckily, they had enough left to make one order for me. The banh mi was very flakey and crispy! I enjoyed the buttery mayo on the banh mi and the crispy pork belly was good, but I wish the pork belly was not cut in such small and thin pieces. I would love to feel the crunch of the crispy skin in my bites. But I know that I probably got the leftovers since it was near closing when I arrived. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was super strong! A bit too strong for my liking. Overall, I think that this is a solid spot for a quick bite or meal! I would like to come back earlier in the day to get a fresher batch of the crispy pork belly and to try their pastries.

The menu is creative, seasonal, and never too sweet. I can't overemphasize how glad I am I stumbled in here. I tried the seasonal Mother Knows Best (with pumpkin) and would highly recommend.

I'm so happy they relocated because it's a lot closer and easier to get to. There's a small, free parking lot located in front of the building, but this area is pretty walkable for a handful of apartment complexes and nearby neighborhoods. It's also super close to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, if you want to walk and enjoy your coffee! Something I particularly like about daily ritual coffee is their service. The husband and wife duo, Jacob and Amor, are so friendly and knowledgeable about their coffee. They also make the space so warm and welcoming, hence why I keep coming back. I especially enjoy the secret menu weekends they've been introducing on Instagram. They even find ways to bring exposure to and partner with Krumb Bakery (the business they share a space with), which I think is so thoughtful and inclusive. So far, my husband and I have tried their Biscoff iced latte and Reese's Puffs iced latte from the secret menu. Amor, if you're reading this -- the Reese's Puffs deserves a spot on the permanent menu! The coffee paired with their specialty foams creates such interesting flavor combinations. I'm so excited to try more of their Autumn menu. I'm so glad daily ritual coffee is part of the neighborhood! I'll keep coming back, especially for their seasonal and secret menu weekends. Thank you for delicious beverages!

A little pricier than other options, but very allergy-friendly. Atmosphere is cute and work-friendly. Would recommend! Detailed review: The Eden bowl was filling and tasted amazing. The chia seed pudding had a strong, but not overbearing vanilla flavor that complemented the fruit beautifully. My mocha latte was rich and truly felt like a treat. I loved how allergy-friendly they were, too. The menu, clearly labeled, included allergens, making it easy to order safely. Price was a bit high, but not incredibly overpriced. Most of the ingredients were organic, which makes the pricing more justified. Atmosphere is relaxing with a nice plant vibe. Saw plenty of people working there, so it's work-friendly. Service was good, too. No issues, and they were very kind. Will definitely return and recommend!

But because it's an iced drink there were just huge gobs of sauce and the rest of the drink bitter. Plus the price is way too high at almost $9. They justified it by saying they make their syrup in house but shouldn't that be cheaper than buying commercial syrups? For an iced caramel latte I would suggest mixing the caramel with the hot espresso before adding ice to avoid clumping. Not sure if I will return given the high price point...they would have way more customers if they lowered prices by at least $1.
