Overall, the session received participation from most in attendance. For the small fee, each attendee received a pot of tea of their choice. You get to select from the myriad of vintage tea cups to drink your tea. I noticed the unique tea pots used to serve each of us. The staff member was very helpful in helping me make a decision. My tea was okay. It didn't have caffeine so I enjoyed one cup. It was served with biscotti (I believe) that went well with the hot tea. I had hoped to be more inspired to journal on a daily basis, but that hasn't happened.

You can pick which tea you want from their menu, with the option of a small or large pot of tea. I got earl gray tea mixed with the blood orange and a slice of banana bread. You get to pick out the mug that speaks to you and they bring it to you. So fun, so yummy, and a great experience. Perfect place to catch up, read, or just unplug. 5/5!

The location is on the lower floor of an office building. It has an adorable retro/vintage 70s Flower Child vibe. The ambiance was relaxing and inviting. Now on to the matters of caffeine. The espresso was perfect. Something we had not had since our arrival. Cortado was great, drip coffee was great, and their latte.... Let me tell you about their latte. I had a carrot cake with cream cheese cold foam. I asked for half the syrup. It was delicious, perfection, amazing. One day I had it hot, the next I had it iced, both were incredible. If I were guaranteed not to go into a sugar spiral, I would drink the cold foam straight. Now I'm preparing to go back tomorrow. Update: We came back two more times before we left NC. No regrets! We finally found an amazing coffee shop and that was important. Also, they make a fantastic Cloud Matcha AND they often watermelon seed milk aka MILKish. This is a game changer. The milk was tasty, with the tiniest but of sweetness, but no sugar or carbs. I don't know how they did it, but I'm here for it and on a mission to find MILKish here!

Decided to stop in again because I had such a positive experience the first time. And today was just the same as 10 years ago. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a very friendly employee. She seemed appreciative of me being there, smiled at me, etc. I hate it when I walk into some businesses and it seems like you're bothering them. If I lived on this side of town, I would probably be in here every day. It's spacious, clean, there are plenty of places to set up your laptop and work. I love that they have a bar around the coffee station so you can pull up a chair, open up your laptop and work. OAN the coffee is pretty good too. Lol. I ordered the white mocha and I also had a chicken salad croissant. Same thing I ordered the last time I believe. Still just as delicious. I also love how - who I presume to be the owner - calls out the names of people when they enter. Clearly, there are a lot of regulars here. And she greets them all by waving and saying their name.

There was a great mix of comfy seating and tables, making it a wonderful place to relax or catch up with friends. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable.

The barista was welcoming. She was the only barista at the time I ordered; however, her partner was in line to order drinks (I assume she was on break). As the partner saw the line grow she jumped back in to help. We ordered the lavender haze latte and chai with vanilla. We ordered the 24oz which is automatically iced. Reading is fundamental because my husband wanted a hot drink and I wanted to surprise him with a large size which turned the drink iced (meh). Anyway, the flavors were there!!!!!

During my Google search I discover My Story Cafe through an article about the owners journey. Being a Caribbean girl myself, I had to go support this Trinidadian, Black, Woman owned business.

My first two days I ordered the an iced French toast latte. The third day I ordered the iced Vietnamese coffee as Ms Jacqueline's recommendation. I was skeptical as I've previously had Vietnamese iced coffees that were overly sweet but hers was velvety, smooth, and balanced. I understood the hype but I info recommend the French toast latte as well! Ms Jacqueline and I connected over those three days, we shared laughs, talked community and our beloved islands as well as all things food! I got to see first hand her connection with locals, the way she builds community and works hard as just one person running the show. We're family now, and anytime I'm Back in Charlotte my first stop will be to go visit my new auntie! Be patient, she gets busy. But the coffee and conversation is worth it.
