Great coffee. Great people. Great atmosphere. Great location. This place is the ideal coffee shop. Been here several times and I am thoroughly impressed with every visit. The coffee is top notch. I'm not a total coffee snob but my friends that are love this place. The coffee is delicious and they put alot of pride into their product. Dogs are more than welcome to hangout outside as well which is always cool to see. Keep it up undercurrent! read more

I came into undercurrent the other day with my friend, I ordered an iced matcha - it was very good but pricey. The barista / cashier had an awful attitude and was very unwelcoming... She was talking very quietly and it was hard to understand because of the mask and the cash register shield. I asked her to repeat her self a few times and she seemed so annoyed. Other with that bad encounter, The coffee and tea is good. read more

Friendly staff, good coffee, and healthy bites. Family and I came here for our morning breakfast on a visit to Charlotte. The cold brew and brown sugar vanilla latte were great. We also enjoyed the breakfast grits, avocado toast, chèvre & jam toast and banana & peanut butter toast very much! read more

See all

I tried this place for the first time today and I will definitely be back. Staff was so friendly and informative and the overall all vibe was relaxed and chilled. I highly recommend stopping by for a coffee, tea or their brunchy food menu read more

The people are great, coffee is delicious and the vibe is amazing. Very spacious for work and relaxing

The coffee was ok in my opinion. However, their avocado toast with egg was amazing. The seasoning went well with the food.

We visited this coffee house in Midwood we really enjoyed the experience the staff was great.

Loved this little place. Its unfortunate the seating area was closed due to COVID. But their coffee was good!

I love this place! Their drip coffee is the best and they are so friendly. I sat in the shop basically all day a few weeks back while my car was being serviced and I couldn't go back and wait at my house and they did not seem to mind one bit. It is definitely my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood, if not in Charlotte! read more

My wife and I decided to try this new coffee spot in Plaza Midwood. This place is awesome, such a cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Their iced cold brew was great and my wife ordered the iced lavender latte. I would definitely return to this place again! read more

The place is nice and has a local Cafe vibe which i really liked. I ordered breakfast sandwich for $6. It was so small that I could hold it with two fingers. It had eggs and some green. I wish they add a description of real life photo to the menu read more

So happy this coffee shop opened in Plaza Midwood. Coffee is great and food is really good too! Also has very nice atmosphere.

I really really like this place. Their coffee is great and I love the atmosphere. The service has always been amazing and my coffee has always been very good. There food needs to be stepped up a whole notch though. Their baked goods are just really bland and never what I want. read more

Stopped in for a quick coffee, but nothing "quick" about the service. Granted, the spot was fairly occupied. It's always nice when staff can acknowledge you, particularly if it's busy. It only takes a second to say "good morning, we'll be right with you" . I'm in sales so I understand the importance of friendliness and acknowledgment, especially when you're spending $6.50 for a 12 oz Latte ... taste of coffee becomes a little off after that ... just sayin'. It Has (4) separate seating areas for guests. There's also am outside graveled seating area that overlooks Commonwealth Ave in the heart of Midwood. I wasn't feeling the vibe so I got it "to go." If there's parking I couldn't find it, I parked on the street. Latte was ok, couldn't taste any coffee but maybe it's me? I may give another try in the future considering the owners background story but we'll see. Just sharing my experience but try for yourself read more

What a great staff! Friendly and helpful. I had never had a positive espresso experience. They walked me through it. They really know their stuff! Definitely recommend! read more

Nice interior design and atmosphere. Pretty quiet considering the amount of seating. Fine customer service but would not recommend the chai.

Best coffee shop I've ever been to, in terms of drink quality, staff friendliness, and overall feel of the space.

Great place for coffee and breakfast. They have a nice seating area set up outside socially distanced

Undercurrent Coffee is an amazing local coffee shop. They have great coffee, with standard (avocado toast, yogurt) and unique (grit bowl!!!) food options. This is also my favorite place to buy coffee beans. read more

Coffee was amazing in a hot summer day! Got the cold brew and it was nice and nutty, not too acidic

A cool place but I couldn't stomach the outrageous prices for such small coffees. A small mocha is almost $6.

Second time here and came to the conclusion this is my new favorite coffee spot in CLT. Everything is delicious. The 'bacon bomblette' is good with tasty bacon eggs and vegetables! Would definitely order again. Iced latte with brown sugar vanilla syrup is not overly sweet, just plain delicious. Wishing and hoping they'll soon offer matcha that is unsweetened though :/ Love this spot. Will be back. read more

I love to try out new coffee shops.... Undercurrent sure is a great spot!!! I had a vanilla iced latte-with oat milk-so delicious!!! It is a beautiful place with plenty of seating inside and out. read more

Undercurrent Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is so cute. We got the lavender honey latte with oat milk & brown sugar vanilla cold brew, they both were amazing! Definitely coming back. read more

Best tea in the town with great service. It's was mind blowing. Than you and see u soon

Loving Undercurrent Coffee! I drive by EVERY DAY but haven't stopped until now and I'm so happy I did! Their outdoor seating is just darling and the staff is wonderful! The menu is simple and straightforward which is not the case with the majority of coffee shops. The exterior has a homey feel and interior is bright, light and cozy! Absolutely obsessed, I will definitely be back! read more

Great lattes, cappuccinos, and the vegan brownies are slightly sweet with a kick of cocoa at the end. The decor is mellow and the music is relaxed. A great addition to Plaza Midwood. read more

My experience at Undercurrent was fantastic. I had a killer Ethiopian via pour over. I also tried the Avocado Toast and added the poached egg on top. It was delicious as well. The space is primo for doing some work in or you can grab coffee to-go. I live in NoDa, so I'm just a stones throw away. Can't wait to get back again soon. read more

Worth the wait!!! Diana makes the best oat milk dry cappuccino. The plough boy grits....I'm still dreaming of them. Good thing I'm So close to undercurrent. Beautiful space, lovely diverse group of customers. Will be a regular. read more

BEST COFFEE SHOP IN THE TOWN !!! High quality coffee, awesome food, well trained staff, friendly atmosphere.From the first moment I felt at home : cozy and peaceful! I'll be there really often! read more

Great coffee!!! Always have the cortado, even two sometimes, and can't get enough. Service is also good and the ambiance and decor make you want to stay there for hours. Great place!! read more

Love this coffee shop, super convenient walk in plaza midwood. Love that it's dog friendly on the outside. Not a whole lot of parking in the back. Their coffee is a great bean! read more

I've been waiting for Undercurrent to open for a while, and it was worth the wait! Coffee here is served as it should be. If you're used to drinking burnt, too hot coffee from that Chain Which will Remain Nameless, then Undercurrent's approach may take some getting used to. They serve coffee at a ready to drink temperature that preserves the nuanced flavors of the high quality beans that they use, and they don't scorch their milk when making lattes. They have rigorously trained their employees to meet a standard of quality and consistency that is really hard to find. I was able to take a sip of the pour over that I ordered without immediately burning my mouth, and the flavors were layered and divine. Are you used to having things your way? A creature of habit? Perhaps just *try* something different and be open to the new experience. Depending on what you order, you should expect to wait longer than you would at that Chain Which will Remain Nameless, but again, it's worth it! This is not a "turn and burn" business model. Praise be! Relax, enjoy the beautiful interior, and let the masters do their work. read more

This place always satisfies! Friendly, knowledgeable staff and the place is always buzzing with good energy. Great coffee, location and atmosphere. read more

Warm, friendly atmosphere. I was incredibly grateful at how knowledgeable the staff were about their products and ingredients, and everything was delicious and high quality. Every opening day is going to have kinks to work out, and every new business is going to grow into their full offerings and products; these people clearly love what they do, were so patient in explaining different menu items and are a welcome addition to this community. Also love that their milk alternative is Oatly! read more

I adore this great new spot. There's enough room for a group to meet and study or brainstorm how to solve world hunger but there are also cozy spots where you can sit alone and enjoy a book. The staff is super friendly and insanely knowledgeable not only about the coffee but also about the farms from which their goods are sourced. I paid in cash so I can't say anything about Apple Pay other than, it's day one, maybe give them a break. Sometimes it takes time to work through software issues etc. I experienced no kinks and only great service, hot delicious coffee and tea and the yummiest muffin on the planet. read more

Welcoming staff. Drinks are not good. I tried two of their homemade soda drinks and both are not delicious.

baristas are all uber friendly & the large windows make great for natural light. i literally loooove coming here to work & enjoy a nice cup of coffee or matcha. plenty of space for a casual cup or a collab meeting or some private work. read more

Well worth the wait; I'm so excited about this place! Fresh, bright atmosphere, and plenty of workspace as well as comfy seating. If you're looking to have coffee the way it's meant to be served (not a burnt Starbucks cappuccino), come support this local business. Great people and great coffee. :) read more

Love the shop, clean, modern but cozy at the same time. I like their minimalistic approach to menu and atmosphere. Coffee tastes pretty good, wish they have almond milk tho! read more
