After…read moremy friend & I finished lunch, I still had plenty of time before my flight, which made this spot a good place to continue chatting & working.

Love: service (kind, helpful), dragon fruit refresher (sweet, refreshing as you'd guess)

I want to start by saying that I typically enjoy drinks from Haraz. I was excited about the new…read morelocation opening and decided to stop by this morning for a Strawberry Cloud Matcha. I had recently tried this drink at another Haraz location and loved it so much that I officially considered myself a matcha drinker. When I received my drink, I noticed it looked much pinker than it had at the other locations I'd visited. I assumed it had just been mixed and that the usual layers of matcha, strawberry, and whipped cloud had blended together, so I didn't think much of it. However, after taking my first sip in the car, it immediately tasted like strawberry milk. Since I was on my way to work, I kept drinking it, expecting the matcha flavor to come through, but it never did. It was disappointing because the drink was nothing like the one I've had several times at other Haraz locations. I hope this location places an emphasis on training and consistency so the drinks meet the same standard as the rest of the Haraz locations. On a positive note, the staff members were kind, welcoming, and greeted me as soon as I walked in.

Strawberry Bingsoo (5/5): Very finely shaved ice with vanilla ice cream, mini mochi balls, sliced…read morestrawberries, and condensed milk. The mochi balls were the highlight for me. They were soft, chewy, and sweet. I wish there was condensed milk drizzled on top and not just on the bottom, but it was a happy surprise to find at the end. The strawberries were a little underripe. Need to try the cookies and cream one next time!

Experience: I love this coffee spot, and I want to try everything on the menu! I love the Oolong, milk teas, and the cold brew with oat milk. Everything I've had is authentic with strong flavor. They also have delicious looking mochi donuts and a variety of interesting pastries I still need to indulge in. The workers are always sweet and make us feel at home. I highly recommend checking them out the next time you're at Urban District Market.

The Hobbyist is such a cute cafe! My boyfriend and I wanted to enjoy some coffee while getting some…read morework done, and we stumbled upon this spot. It has such a calm vibe with plenty of seating inside and some outdoors as well. I loved that they offer seasonal drinks alongside their classics and food options. We opted for a cortado, a vanilla lavender matcha, and a chicken chorizo breakfast burrito. Everything tasted delicious and was served fast. We sat for around an hour working on our laptops and weren't interrupted. There were people chatting as well, so it's a great space to do both. I absolutely loved the fact that you can get other drinks too, since they have a large selection of wines and seltzers. Everyone we talked with was super sweet--I can't wait to visit again!

Anyway, I sat by a very friendly caressing plant until the 2 guys on their tinder date left the couch. There were no outlets at some of the other spots so I waited out and side eye the couch spot. A minute after I sat down, a lovely couple tried to squeeze the vintage wooden booth that looked like it was built before the civil war. Cute tho but tiny. I told them they were fine to join me so they could sit in the comfy chairs! And that I didn't mind. So they were grateful to join my spot back here in the last room. I don't need to bogart the whole corner so I was happy also that they came over. Food is good here and everyone nice and helped me carry my order so I didn't spill my beloved matcha latte!

Each time I ordered something different and am always blown away at how amazing their food and drinks are. Everyone that works there is always so nice and welcoming! The vibes are emmaulate! There's also a beer shop downstairs as well, which is really cool to see how the business expands. Will definitely continue to comeback and is perfect for every occasion. Love support minority-owned businesses wherever I go! The owners are a Dominican/Charlotte-Native duo sharing their love for the community and culture with every visitor that enters. 10/10 would recommend the early gray tea matcha and the Mexican corn wings!!!

As a foodie transplant from the Bay Area, I'm always on the hunt for dishes that remind me of…read morememorable meals from past travels. One that has stuck with me for years was a rosemary roasted potato pizza I discovered in a little hole-in-the-wall spot in Winnemucca, Nevada. When I saw a similar option on the menu here, I had to give it a try. I ordered the Liberation pizza and added Italian sausage, along with a side of wings and blue cheese. I was also curious about the Mexican street corn but requested it on the side so it wouldn't get soggy during the ride home. The timing was accurate--they quoted about 20 minutes--but parking in this area of North Davidson can be a bit challenging, especially during busy hours. It's a lively, high-traffic intersection, so plan accordingly if you're picking up. Here's where things got a little bumpy. When I got home, I realized the pizzas in the box were not mine. I called the restaurant, and to their credit, they immediately apologized and offered to remake the order right away. That kind of responsiveness goes a long way, and I appreciated their willingness to make it right without hesitation. I drove back to pick up the corrected order, and the staff again apologized and had everything ready. Unfortunately, when I got home the second time, the wings were there--but the blue cheese was missing. At that point, it was late, and I decided to just call it a night. Lesson learned on my end: always take a moment to check the order before leaving. Rookie mistake. Now for the food itself: * Pizza: Delicious overall, with great flavor and quality ingredients. I personally prefer a thinner crust, but the taste was solid. The truffle oil was a bit heavy for my palate and slightly overpowered the other flavors. I also would have preferred the sausage to be crumbled rather than in larger chunks for more even distribution. * Wings: Very good--crispy, well-seasoned, and satisfying. They just really needed that blue cheese to complete the experience. Despite the hiccups, the team handled the situation professionally, and the food quality is clearly there. This is a popular neighborhood spot with creative menu options, and I'd absolutely give them another try. Helpful tip for future customers: Parking can be tight, and takeout orders can get busy--so double-check your order before you leave. It'll save you a second trip. Overall, a lively local place with strong flavors, good recovery on service, and a menu that's worth exploring.

2nd time to this location! Friendly staff, tidy front area. I do wish (but I understand due to the…read moreunique set up) that I could cream/sugar my own coffee. Doughnuts: both times were fresh and warm, which is why I've came back. My personal favorite has been the cinnamon sugar, love the crunch of the fried doughnut, paired with the extra hint of the warm cinnamon and sugar that melts the second it hits your tongue. My husband was all about the powdered sugar, noted that it "hit the spot". We split the honey glaze, it was great when it was dipped in to my hot coffee.

There is free side street parking if you come early enough to snag one. The DJs and people were a VIBE. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. Service was SLOW. They only had 2 bartenders and tbh, that took up about 45min in itself just to get a drink. I feel like for an event, at least 3 bartenders would do the trick. The thought of having to wait that long at the bar jist to grab a drink, made me not want yo drink. I only got 2 and called it a night with drinks. Bartender wasn't too friendly. No wine and water is in a self serve jug which half the time it was empty and you jad to fight your way through the crowd just to get a cup of water. If they would have more bartenders, they would make more money but maybe next time. The venue was nice, very hot so we ended up outside just dancing. Not sure if I would come again for an event.
