Minimal food options but the avo toast looked great. Delicious latte and they had a few fun flavors to choose from. It's a cute neighborhood that makes for a nice stroll pre/post coffee. Great vibes inside to get work done or study and tons of natural light read more

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

I love that they actually have a cortado on the menu. Some places can still make one when it's not on the menu but they actually have it listed. Awesome. A cortado is half espresso and half steamed (not foamed) milk. That makes it different than a latte and a cappuccino. I find the flavor to be richer and tastier. UC has reopened the inside seating area with optional distancing. When I stopped in today, they have "clean/dirty" signs on the tables, a plexiglass partition at the register and a cash-only policy. Masks are required at all times except when actively eating or drinking. I stayed long enough to enjoy my coffee, try to do some laptop stuff, and then departed. Great coffee, great COVID protocols, comfy seating area. Wifi was iffy, but there were power outlets available if you need to recharge.

I really enjoyed my coffee here. The atmosphere is so welcoming and it was filled with friendly people. I had an oat milk chai latte that really hit the spot. There was a fair amount of spice in the latte which I like. I also ordered the $6 breakfast sandwich (it is an up charge to add bacon, which I did not). The pictures are deceiving, but this delicious sandwich was really a slider. I mean it was tiny!! I don't mind smaller portions but I wish I had known before hand because otherwise I would have ordered differently. I was still hungry when I left. That being said.. the sandwich was really flavorful and the broccolini was an excellent texture addition. The eggs were very fluffy as well. read more

Neat little place on a trendy, hipster street. During Covid-19 they are working from a limited menu, limited seating, and limited staff. While they are doing their dead-level best, I'm sure there's another star awaiting once all this is behind us. My Cortado and Avocado Toast complimented one another perfectly, and both were prepared expertly. I also appreciate the attention to sanitation during our pandemic. Nice. Easy to say, "Give 'em a whirl." Let's keep supporting our local entrepreneurs! read more

Excellent seasonal lattes and friendly baristas. Why four stars? The cashier saw me and a few others in line. He decided to ignore us without saying anything and continued to brew coffee. Common sense would've been to take the orders of the few customers waiting in line first, especially since they do have an espresso machine for other drinks. I ended up walking out of line to grab something else first, then swung by to order a coffee on my way out. read more

The space inside is nice, decided to stop by on a Wednesday afternoon and order their seasonal lavender brown sugar latte. The latte had no syrup flavor at all and tasted very burnt and milky. Honestly would not recommend, especially for the high price. read more

Such a solid coffee spot! I actually had one of the best coffees of my life (pictured) at the location in Optimist Hall. It was their season sweet potato spice coffee. Phenomenal. I visited both locations in Charlotte during my recent visit, both did not disappoint. read more

Coffee shops have a special place in my heart, and Undercurrent is one of my absolute favorites in Charlotte. Their coffee is amazing. My go to is usually an iced latte with brown sugar and oat milk, but I've also tried some of their seasonal drinks and they don't disappoint. The avocado toast is incredible, and adding the egg is a must. We also tried their peanut butter and banana toast and it was SO tasty! They also have a case of baked goods. Over time we've tried a few, and each of them were really good. Basically Undercurrent doesn't miss. If you give them a try, tag me and let me know what you think! xoxo, @rondaexplores read more

I've gotten the golden milk and matcha numerous times now and it has been consistently good. Team members are always so patient and friendly. The last few visits this year, the place has been packed/ no where to sit. So I come prepared to take my order to go rather than stay and work. Which would be so nice because Undercurrent has a nice vibe to work in! read more

A very stylish, clean, and modern coffee shop that appears to have a regular clientele. Not particularly large, but well-designed to accommodate a decent amount of seating. I spent a couple of hours here on my laptop, and will definitely return. (I did find my Americano to be slightly on the bitter side, but perhaps that's just where my taste buds were at on this day.) read more

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

Undercurrent coffee is just ok in my opinion. The coffee/drinks are pretty mediocre themselves and on the pricey side. The inside and front patio are cute and there's a small parking lot in the back which is nice bc of the limited parking options in plaza. The past few times I've been they always ask for a name for the drinks/food, but then they never actually call out the name, they just leave it next to the drink on the counter. So I've got cold drinks/food because I'm waiting to hear a name and it's never called. Food is also kinda pricey for what you get. Not my favorite coffee shop in the area. read more

I really enjoyed this coffee spot! Staff was so friendly, I like their seasonal menu and food options. I only stopped for coffee, they had plenty of places to sit and free wifi. Love their outdoor seating too, it was the perfect day for it this morning. I got the seasonal some kind of vegan white chocolate orange latte with oat milk and let me tell you it was SO delicious!! I wish I would have take a picture of the entire seasonal menu because it all sounded good and was hard to choose!! I highly recommend the drink I got! read more

I visited the shop on a Saturday and it was very busy. Parking: There is a very small area in the back of the shop for customers. You will likely find parking as I did, on the street. This particular Saturday I was o my able to find a seat after I ordered and another customer happened to be leaving. Undercurrent sells and uses coffee from Onyx Coffee out of Arkansas. I ordered and enjoyed the candied ginger cappuccino. The staff was extremely nice and if I should visit Charlotte again I will definitely stop in again. read more

The Skinny: Nice coffee shop with great drinks & eats. Great place to sit and get some work done. Atmosphere: Cute coffee shop vibes with open seating and free WiFi. Lots of people during the week working on their laptops. Can be a little loud with ppl on calls/talking but overall a great spot to spend the morning working, eating, and caffeinating. Close to a variety of shops and breweries as well! Food/Drinks: Lattes/coffee are quite good and pretty. The Avocado & hummus toast were yummy as well. Not your average plain toast - a good amount of ingredients and flavors that all blend together nicely. Portions were generous. Everything from the drinks to the food to the atmosphere are instagrammable - you won't be disappointed! read more

I didn't realize Undercurrent had multiple locations! No wonder it was familiar to me since I had tried them at Optimist Hall. Not sure which location came first, but both are great! Met someone for coffee on a Friday morning. Our original plan was to do Common Market, but they did not open until 8am (our meeting was at 7:30). Luckily, Undercurrent in Plaza was pumping out caffeine well into the morning by then. COVID procedures in place, with a few customers sitting at a few tables and all the employees wearing masks, it was a little nerve-racking (not knowing what to expect) but the staff made us comfortable and we were able to place a quick coffee order (to go) and we were on our way. They do have the "fancy" pour over coffee, but I wasn't really feeling that for that morning. There was never a line or crowding (they move people through quickly). There are a handful of tables outside - perfect for taking advantage of warmer weather. I think I saw one person working on a table outside so... almost "back to normal". Overall I think Undercurrent is a great place to get coffee... they also have some snacks available too (in a case). I didn't see a menu (since I was in and out of there so fast!) But I think there are food offerings (breakfast) too! read more

Had the best time checking out Undercurrent Coffee! The space and vibe is awesome, spaced couches and dining areas. I got a delicious latte and I can't wait to go back to try some food!

Nice place to grab a coffee. Great ambiance and friendly staff. I had an iced latte which came out quick and tasting great. Buuuttttt I also ordered a breakfast sandwich...which left much to be desired and the reason I had to dock a star. Although listed as a sandwich, it should really be called a slider...it's TINY. Think silver dollar sized. And for $6... without adding the bacon! May come back for a coffee, but will avoid the sandwich...perhaps a scone or something next time. read more

Great coffee shop!! It is conveniently located in the heart of Plaza Midwood. They have their own parking lot and there is also always parking further down on commonwealth. There is seating both inside and outside. The inside is very cute and relaxing. Would be a great place to work remotely from! The caramel latte is great. The coffee has a floral taste to it- it's so good!!! Would be able to easily drink it black. They have a great food menu too- the avocado toast is great. It is a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. read more

I love traveling to new coffee shops to get work done and try new coffees that the workers select is the best. Today I had the seasonal - Cookie Butter Latte, I do have to say it was a fantastic selection from the worker! The shop is very beautiful with a lot of customers that get along with the workers, and all come to enjoy the coffee shops, 10 out of 10 would recommend to come get your studies, work, or get some social interaction going as everyone is cheerful here! read more

I am not really understanding the appeal of this coffee shop. It's very expensive. I asked for my iced latte with light ice and they just give you less in the cup (while still giving a half cup of ice!!) and it tasted like mostly milk and not much espresso. Not really worth it. read more

Why are you shutting down the espresso machine 10 minutes before closing time without having a brewed coffee or something else to offer ?

Pricey but a great place to sit with a latte and plug in a laptop. The overnight oats were out of this world! read more

I stopped by here a couple of Wednesday's ago with my wife for our morning coffee. Whenever we visit a new city we like to try local coffee shops each day and on this day it was Undercurrent Coffees turn. The inside of this place is quite large with a place to order your coffee, a comfortable seating area complete with couches, a lunch counter that looks over the coffee making area and then seats throughout the rest. For my coffee on this day I decided to go with one of their specialty lattes, the Southern Spice. While I can't exactly remember the ingredients in it, it did have a number of fall spices as well as sweet potato. Within a few minutes both my wife and I had our coffees and we were out the door. The taste of my coffee was definitely interesting as you could really taste the spice and sweet potatoes which mostly overpowered the coffee. Since it was pleasant though, I didn't really mind it. Lest you think that they didn't use real sweet potatoes, I can assure you that they did. The bottom of my coffee was filled with bits of it which I guess didn't get puréed as finely as the rest. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed the coffee that I ordered and would be interesting in trying some more. read more

During my lunch break this afternoon I decided to stop by Undercurrent Coffee. As for parking, it didn't take long to find, there's plenty of street parking right out front. Upon entering the front, you get a view of the entire shop, thanks to the open layout. The store was clean and not at all chaotic. The color theme is wood, white, & blue which definitely gave it a beach-y/relaxing feel. (i'm guessing hence the name) All of the employees I interacted with were very kind & attentive. Im pretty sure I waited less than 5 minutes for my drink which is a win for me. Next time, I'll be back for their avocado toast (which has a gluten- free bread option) , but for today. Whoever made my matcha deserves a raise because its in my top 3 of all time.. I'll be back! Update: I came back & forgot to ask for my Matcha to be iced. The barista said she would prefer to remake my drink, than give me the cup of ice I kept insisting on.. She said the whole taste would be off, & as I am not exactly a matcha professional (just an enthusiast) I really appreciate her looking out. Thank you for hiring good people. update: went back for an avocado toast & added a poached egg. SO good. there's also picnic tables outside that are super convenient for meals that are kinda on the go. read more

A very cute coffee shop that offers food and drink. I wouldn't say their menu is large, but it's sufficient. They also have a seasonal drink menu. I tried the banana foster latte. It was so good! Not too pricey either. My friend had their avocado toast and she said it was one of the best she's ever had. read more

I love this coffee shop's space, location, ambiance, beverage offerings, and food choices (well, except the pastries look to be kind of afterthoughts). Well appointed and comfy seating and work options abound here. I ordered a cortado, which was quite good, but I did have to add sugar to since I'm used to the Florida/Cuban version of the cortado with sugar already added. Nonetheless, the coffee flavor was divine. I have never ever ordered avocado toast before (because it seems so trendy), but I did here and it was truly delicious with the nuts, sumac, olive oil, and the tasty toast base. I would definitely get it again. My friend got the grits with some veggies in it and that was simply amazing. Service varies from person to person that works there. The first person took our orders was extremely kind and personable, while when I went back for an Americano about a half-hour later, the new person was clearly having a bad day and projected it on to me and other customers. read more

I enjoyed my visit to the coffee shop. It was a Monday morning and quite busy but the atmosphere was very peaceful. The service was very good and attentive. The coffee was served with extra care.

I would recommend going by for a coffee and muffin. read more

I wish I could give this place 10 stars!!!
