    Waterbean has very good coffee. I grabbed an iced latte and drank it very quickly. They also have a small food menu. They are located right next to the Kimpton hotel. Great space to either work or hang out. It also appears like they are local chain because I do see them in other parts of Charlotte. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Iced matcha

    SUCH GOOD MATCHA - definitely top 5 for me in CLT - clean space and good service. :)))

    Got the salted caramel iced latte and sat for a bit to read. Coffee was yummy and space was chill.

    Ice latte with condensed milk

    Waterbean Coffee I stopped in for an iced latte with cold oat milk and condensed milk and wow, it was so good! The mix of creamy oat milk with that touch of sweetness is absolutely perfect. You can really taste the quality of their espresso, smooth and rich without any bitterness. The drink was balanced, refreshing, and honestly kind of addictive. The vibe inside is relaxed and modern, great spot to work or just chill. Friendly service, quick, chill, and welcoming. Highly recommend.

    I grabbed a quick latte after a workout class as I was heading back to my hotel. I got there shortly after it opened so it was just the barista and me. I had been warned the coffee was strong but I found my vanilla latte to be delightful and the barista got it out quick. The space is large and cozy. Seems like a perfect spot to telework.

    I stopped in on my way back to my hotel! My hubby and I love coffee shops and cold brews have become our favorite coffee of choice! I ordered the cold brew with white chocolate syrup and cold foam! The cold foam was thick and sweet, just as like! The coffee is definitely STRONG! I can handle it. The service was friendly, quick and helpful. There's soft rock playing in the background as I sit at the window Watching people walk by! It's my kind of vibe!! I would definitely come back.

    We were in town for the Charlotte marathon and came here for coffee. They weren't doing food because of the crowds - but the coffee was great. I got the snickerdoodle iced latte and my girlfriend got the peppermint bark latte. Both were very good and fun festive flavors. The workers were definitely stressed, but I don't blame them given the circumstance.

    Cortado

    Overall a good spot! Always order a cortado at coffee shops I've never been to so I can get a good taste of the espresso and feel out the milk texture, both were good here! Inside is a nice quiet vibe with light music in the back, a good place to work/ study from. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because while the service was quick it was super surface level and didn't feel like the baristas were really paying attention to me more of just chatting with each other. Would still come back though!

    Mint & Brown sugar latte, snickerdoodle latte

    Everything to love about a coffee shop! Spacious area to meet up or do work. The flavor combinations are vast and pretty unique. I ordered an iced mint, brown sugar latte that was so good! Perfect combo of flavor and not too sweet. They also have sweeter combinations like the snickerdoodle latte. I would definitely return to try their other flavors

    I've been to another location, and this one doesn't quite live up to my expectations. I love the space and the decor but the coffee tasted "okay". I ordered a coffee with lavender syrup, which tasted quite watered down. Overall, a nice place to work and study, but I came for the coffee!

    Just like the other Waterbean in Uptown, it's clean and staff is very friendly. I like that they offer non-coffee drinks. They also offer pastries and baked goods that are delicious. They also have a small order window outside that you can use if you don't want to go inside. There is plenty of seating to hang out and work.

    Love the lavender and rose lattes. Download the app to order hotels sandwiches on a croissant or bagel or coffee (or both) ahead of time and escape the line on pickup...all while earning reward points! Every 65 points in the app gets you a $7 credit on a future order! Great quality, would choose over Starbucks any day of the week.

    Let me start off by saying that this place is so unassuming. Like how delightful can sandwiches…read morereally be? Extremely. My husband and I have been to this restaurant about five times now. We always order the same two sandwiches and we share a half each, so we get the best of both worlds. The steak is perfectly cooked to a delicious and tender medium, the chunks of meet are so tender and delicious and the sauce just sends it over the edge! I love the chicken sandwich as well the slaw really brightens up the chicken and the sauce also sets it off! We also got a house made juice it was green and the name is escaping me-- either way don't forget yours! The dragonfruit one is also delicious and very refreshing! This place will have you full off of there very generous portions. It looks like it's not a lot but you'll be walking away with a full belly wondering how a Peruvian sandwich could be so GOOD?!

I've had many yucca fries and these are the best. They're crispy and the sauce it comes with is perfection. I prefer the bowls over the sandwiches to minimize carbs. You can't go wrong with any of them. Key lime pie: I'm ordering this again. This Keylime pie beats any Keylime pie in the Key West. I like that the custard has some lime shavings for texture. I also appreciate that they use meringue instead of whipped cream. The dessert is perfectly tangy. Chocolate cake: it's a really good chocolate cake. It's such a simple dessert yet not everyone gets it right. I personally prefer the Keylime pie, but for the chocolate lovers, this might be the best chocolate cake. Santiago cake: a high protein cake with almond and eggs. I actually make this at home often but I wanted to compare mine with the restaurants. The texture was good, but it had a refrigerator taste to it which I didn't like.

    I just want to give a huge thank you to the team at Capriotti's Sandwich Shop!…read more I placed a catering order very last minute, not realizing the store closed at 9:00 PM. Around 9:20 PM, I received a call from Olivia, the shift lead. She was incredibly calm, professional, and kind while explaining that she wasn't at the store and the employees working that night were fairly new and that they usually appreciate a little advance notice for catering orders. She asked whether I still wanted to move forward with the order. I told her I completely understood the situation and wouldn't be upset if they needed to cancel since it was so late and inconvenient. A little while later, Olivia called me back to let me know the catering had turned out great and that they could still deliver it if I wanted. When the order arrived, I was so impressed! Both catering boxes looked fantastic, and everything was prepared beautifully. I truly appreciate the employees who stayed late and put such care into making our order, and I especially want to thank Olivia for her outstanding customer service. Her kindness, communication, and professionalism turned what could have been a stressful situation into a wonderful experience. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond!

    Rhino Market & Deli feels like the kind of neighborhood spot that every city wishes it had…read more This Wesley Heights location is one of my favorite easy stops in Charlotte. It's right on the way to my yoga studio, so it's perfect for a quick in-and-out lunch, but honestly, it's also the kind of place where you end up lingering longer than planned. My usual order is the ABLT on rye with Boar's Head applewood smoked bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Simple, fresh, and consistently delicious every single time. I almost always pair it with the Spinach Bacon salad loaded with spinach, cranberries, goat cheese, tomatoes, toasted pecans, and brown sugar peppered bacon. The portions are huge and definitely shareable. What makes Rhino special is that it's more than just a deli. It's part neighborhood market, part coffee shop, part beer and wine stop, and part community hangout. They've got local products, grab-and-go snacks, fresh sandwiches, beer on tap, wine, outdoor patio seating, and sometimes even live music. It reminds me of the small independent spots I used to love in the Bay Area around Burlingame, San Mateo, and Palo Alto. Relaxed, local, welcoming, and full of personality. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere feels genuinely Charlotte. Not overly polished. Not trying too hard. Just good food, good people, and a place that locals clearly love. And if you are visiting North Carolina, you absolutely have to try Cheerwine at least once. It's basically a Carolina rite of passage. Cherry soda lovers will probably be obsessed. Me personally? Not exactly my flavor profile, but people here drink it like water, so clearly they are onto something. Rhino Market is one of those places that makes a city feel like home. Life is too short to not eat well, Charlotte. Get out there.

    Really hit or miss, but I'm so annoyed that they started charging for "fresh food". Yes, you read…read morethat right. There was an additional $2-$3 surcharge added on my bill because I ordered a meal at a restaurant, how crazy of me! Ridiculous, and borderline deceptive. All that on top of a very soggy sandwich.
