I walked in on Memorial Day after many coffee shops were closed and they had their open sign on bright and flashing in the window. Nobody was inside, except possibly someone in the back. The food display was empty. All the tables were dirty and had crumbs and even empty coffee cups on them despite me being in only person in there. I waited for about 5 minutes for someone to appear, and nobody did. I turned right around and walked out the door without any acknowledgment. Maybe I picked a bad day because of the holiday, but, from what I saw, it was dirty and nobody was there (employees or otherwise). Don't have the open sign on if you're not ready to serve customers. read more

First & foremost, this isn't a traditional coffeeshop. I would describe it more as an event space that serves coffee. With that being said, I was a little disappointed with my experience. I arrived just before 9am. It was still warming up inside so it was a little cold. Inside you can find few 2-person and 4-person round tables as well as 4 comfy arm chairs. Atmosphere is tragically lacking. It was completely silent for the first half hour then the same song was played over and over again (and very loudly). Then silence again. There is a large stage for events such as poetry night, open mic nights, and live music The shop offers a good mix of hot and cold drinks. I was very disappointed in the baked good options. In fact there were just some cookies in plastic bags. My latte was just fine and it was reasonably priced. Maybe their events provide a better experience. Based on this experience, I won't be returning. read more

See all

The service is warm and helpful. The MUSIC is the thing! Please support this live music venue.

Awesome little space between Concord and Salisbury in Kannapolis with a tremendous stage and ambience. The owner is super cool, and his selection is everything you'd want from a coffee shop. Excellent space excellent service. Excellent. read more

WiredCoffeeEspress - a cup of coffee on a counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kannapolis, North Carolina

Took my kiddos there this weekend for pancakes and coffee what a cool little place, for sure will be going back!

A caramel latte was gifted to me from this coffee shop. Oh wow is it delicious! I'm not sure if I want to sip, savour and languish over the creamy froth. Or, guzzle the perfection of the medium roast of the espresso. Did I mention that the level of sweetness was perfect? This will definitely be a stop off in the future! The Java angels were watching over me today!! read more

I stopped in here this morning on a whim. I have heard great things about this place but did not know where it was located. I had a vanilla latte and banana bread and it hit the spot. Todd who was the one who helped me was very nice and welcoming. The atmosphere was very relaxing. The price was not bad at all. I will definitely be coming back here again soon. read more

They have white mocha Bianca very similar to Starbucks white chocolate mocha, less price better attitude, my go to coffee shop let's see of we can get this guy some business read more

WiredCoffeeEspress - the entrance of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kannapolis, North Carolina

I've had many latte's and other items here. All were consistently great and reasonably priced. This is a great place to meet a client or to go work or study. They have great coffee, latte's, smoothies, and pastries. Their wifi is lightning fast. Our family loves coming here and has enjoyed nearly everything on the wide menu. As someone who's widely travelled and been to dozens and dozens of coffee shops, this ranks as one of the BEST!! Great job, Todd! Bob Page Financial Advisor read more

This is only a review for the coffee. I DID NOT try anything else there. I'm a photographer. You ask me to come shoot your wedding and I claim to have a "Real Camera" and then I show up and shoot with an iPhone. Now imagine those results. Unfortunately, that sums up my experience. If you have the term "Real Cappuccino" on your menu I should not have a choice between small, medium and large. Cappuccino comes in one size and in 1 ratio. Your espresso was over-roasted which I don't really mind if it was pulled properly. It wasn't and was over-extracted (super bitter) and over-heated (burnt flavor). It was so bitter that it took my breath away; I did something I've never done before which was throw the coffee away after 3 sips. The reason I didn't say something to the staff and the reason this is a 1 star review is because you claim to have a "Real Cappuccino" and a real cappuccino you do not have. If you make a claim like that, prepare to back it up because you will be and should be compared to coffee shops serving the "Real" standard. In my opinion and experience having traveled within the past 30 days to Boston, NYC NY, Wash. DC, Princeton NJ and living in Raleigh, your "Real Cappuccino" does not rank. read more

A nice cozy environment and great drinks, would recommend, amazing coffee and smoothies

Awesome place. The place is wide open with a stage and a great sound set up. I have had lots of coffee there and I like it. I would rather purchase local than corporate for many reasons. So I am sorry I am not going by the store EVERY DAY!! But now I know it's there, I will be going often. The owner is very friendly and encourages the use of the shop for local artists and musicians. It is clean and warm and a very nice addition to the Kannapolis area. I hope wired espress is here for a long while as the occasional passerby can't fully enjoy the the gem it is! read more

This place is truly outstanding in every way. Todd is a very accomplished and passionate barista, and his consistent quality is a thing to behold. His espresso is outstanding alone, but his Cappuccino is a work of art! read more

This place is amazing. One of a very few who know excellent coffee and can consistently produce it. Probably not your thing if you're a SBUX drone but if you crave crafted espresso drinks you'll love it. Also makes excellent gelato on site. Decor is sparse and chill so it's a cool place to hang out. Good wifi and regular music nights. read more

I must start my review by saying that I love coffee. I love it so much that I buy it everywhere. I try the coffee from every coffeehouse that I come upon in my travels with work in the greater Charlotte area. I am not an expert in making the coffee that I love, which is why I buy it everywhere I go lol. This business makes my favorite coffee period. It doesn't taste burnt, like sometimes the big guy's do and isn't so strong that my stomach starts flipping on the first sip. It's just perfect every time! There are several places that I like my coffee, but this place has gone to the top for me. When I have the other guy's coffee, I'm like, "this coffee is ok, but I wish it was a wired coffee!" The desserts are amazing and the Gelato is delightful when it's hot outside. This is probably the best kept secret in Kannapolis. He's not in a visible location but soon the word will get out and this place will be packed the way it should be. They do pancakes on Saturday mornings and I've never had anything like them. He has different choices each week with a homemade syrup and topping, my favorite being the baked apple. So my daughter demands we go there every time she's with me lol (her favorite is the mixed berry or strawberry). Well, with all that said, I have to go and get my coffee and pancakes lol. I can't recommend it enough for coffee, treats or the Gelato if you want an amazing ice cream like substance, (I told you I wasn't an expert!). Happy tasting! read more

First of all, that Samir guy has OBVIOUSLY never been there. Oh goodness. Anyway. Very good tea (I don't do coffee), fantastic gelato, and excellent pancakes with superb toppings. Love it! read more
