    This café brings such a refreshing Turkish-inspired twist to your usual coffee spot. Their drink…read moremenu has a wide variety of options, and I love that they offer seasonal flavors such as pumpkin which is my fav fall flavor --I went with the pumpkin latte. Highly recommend! They also have a solid selection of pastries and desserts if you're in the mood for something sweet, but I decided to try the turkey avocado melt. It was honestly so good--the pesto really made the sandwich stand out. The vibe here is another highlight. It's a great mix of people working, studying, or just hanging out, which makes it a perfect spot if you're looking to get some work done outside of home.

    We found ourselves in a strange situation. We come to this coffee shop very often and genuinely…read morelove the desserts here, especially the caramel cheesecake and the potato pie. However, I had a very confusing experience today. I ordered a small drink for my girlfriend and a large one for myself. Here's a little quiz for you: which one would you guess is the small drink and which one is the large? You would probably assume the green matcha is the large one -- but no, that was the small drink, while the latte was supposed to be the large. When I received the drinks, I politely asked, "Excuse me, which size are these?" I was told they were both small. Then they brought out the "large" cup -- and it turned out to be exactly the same size. What I do not understand is why I was being treated as if I could not clearly see that the cups were literally identical. I understand if the amount of liquid differs slightly, but when the cups themselves are visibly the same size, what exactly was the point of paying extra for a "large" drink? It is not about the money. I simply do not like being made to feel foolish. We have probably visited this place around 30 times, and honestly, this experience may have been the last one for us. We also ordered the tuna panini, and unfortunately it was just okay. There was too much onion and very little tuna. Other paninis here have definitely been much better.

Such a wonderful cause! The employees were all super nice. We had a big group and they seated us outside and got us all water without us having to ask. We didn't realize they closed at 2:00 and they didn't rush us at all- great hospitality! The food is amazing!! I got a caramel latte, they could do decaf which I love and it was so good! I got the classic cafe breakfast which was eggs, toast and I opted for home fries and fresh fruit as my sides. The fresh fruit was pineapple, blueberries and blackberries, it was so good! I also got a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin which was really moist and great. They have a huge parking lot and it's conveniently located on the greenway. I will definitely be back!

Our waiter gave some great recommendations for our first time. I ordered a Cinnamon Bun Mocha latte, which was very tasty! You can tell they homemade their whipped cream! For food, I ordered the Egg in a Hole, which came with some mixed greens dressed in a very yummy vinaigrette, and I ordered a side of home fries. All of it was so delicious and fresh. The chili garlic oil they used was very flavorful and was a great addition to the dish! I will definitely be back!

    A solid brunch place!…read more Stopped in on a drive through Charlotte, looking for a filling and nutritious meal rather than fast food. I think I ordered the elevated egg sandwich, and remember it being good, the egg being well prepared. I did feel the prices were a little high. But it was bustling midday on a Saturday, and I felt lucky to get a table! The menu is extensive and it's clearly popular for a reason!

    This is usually a GOOD First Watch, but unfortunately this time we experienced some issues…read more We walked up at about 10:00AM to come get some breakfast on a Sunday morning, but realized there was a 40min wait. We decided to wait it out, but we ended up waiting longer than 40mins. I know that the employees can't control when customers get done with their food, but for a good 15 minutes about 5 tables sat vacant while dirty, as they could have cleaned those tables and got the waiting parties seated. Me and my grandmother both love the lemon ricotta pancakes. No matter what day or time it is, they always hit the spot. You can tell that they are made from scratch, as they are not rubbery. The thought of ricotta in a pancake can turn some people away, but all it really does is adds delicacy (makes the pancake tender (if that makes sense)). They usually have soft scrambled eggs, but today they were a bit more of a hard scramble and had trouble cutting a bite with a fork. The bacon this time was so hard that it wouldn't really bend like normal bacon would. I would have rather waited a couple more minutes for some better bacon. They do have a drink called the "Pineapple Express" that is always good. I can't really describe the flavor, but I recommend you try it. You'll have to taste for yourself! As a summary, this First Watch is usually great, but this time it was a miss. I wish that they would be more consistent with the quality of the food AND the service, as some servers act like they don't want to be there while others are great.

When I went to redeem my Goodiebag offer the guy working the counter was amazing. I got there very close to closing and he was so sweet. He went into the counter and filled our bag was savory treats. There was around 7/8 items in the bag. Everything he put in the bag was a surprise to us. We noticed a few of the names but they looked alike in the bag. Now we had 2 with hamburger meat/ground beef. They were our favorites. One had ham and cheese and one had corn and cheese. Both were delicious. Small round cheese breads were very chewy. Our least favorite was the hot dog but it wasn't terrible. We opted to get a sweet treat also and loved it also. It was a milk and coconut twisted bread. All in all I was super impressed with what we got and all the delicious flavors. We split the goodie bag items between 3 people and were very satisfied. Romeo and Juliet Brazilian Cafe 1605 Galleria Blvd Ste 105 Charlotte, NC 28270 (Review 16 in 2024 and 816 overall)

I always get the flan it is the best in the state BUT it is not consistent unfortunately and is expensive I keep buying as most of the time it is amazing but when it is not I have not eaten it or tossed it again unfortunate. I do love most of what I get and always try new things and you can fine inside and take tons to go. They have other interesting and international gourmet goodies to treat yourself to. I do wish that all counter staff could communicate in English as I ended up a few times with things I would not have ordered and it was due to miscommunication and again the price is expensive and worth it when on point. I do recommend this spot as there are many reasons to come just make sure you know what you are getting and see about samples maybe before. Cute space tons of parking and easy to access.

    As a San Francisco Bay Area foodie who recently relocated to Charlotte, I keep a running list of…read morebakeries to explore--especially anywhere that might carry a proper kouign-amann (that glorious Breton pastry that is basically my kryptonite). That search led me to Vicente in South End, and I'm happy to say it absolutely earned its spot on my list. The kouign-amann here was slightly lighter and a bit less dense and buttery than the ones I remember from the Bay Area, but it still hit all the right notes--caramelized edges, flaky layers, and just enough indulgence to satisfy the craving. When you find one in Charlotte, you take note. I also ordered a frangipane (marzipan) croissant, which is always one of my go-to pastries when it's done well. This one delivered--rich, nutty, and comforting without being overly sweet. I'm not much of a chocolate pastry person, so I tend to gravitate toward custard- or almond-filled items, and this bakery clearly understands how to execute those classics. The space itself is beautiful--clean glass storefront, modern aesthetic, and a welcoming feel from the moment you walk in. It's attached to a large apartment complex with underground parking, which makes it surprisingly easy to access. Very walkable, very convenient, and refreshingly low-stress compared to some of the trendier spots. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the prices felt reasonable for the quality. One small wish: I'd love to see a late-day pastry special or a loyalty program. I'm the kind of regular who will absolutely show up more often if there's an incentive--and let's be honest, pastries are hard to resist when there's a little nudge. I'll definitely be back, especially if they start experimenting with more creative flavors. A kouign-amann with poached fruit--nectarine, mango, or passionfruit--would have me running back through the door. And candidly, I'm grateful Charlotte's pastry scene is still growing. It means there's room for bakeries like this to shine and keep raising the bar. As someone who loves good food, I'm always rooting for local bakers and artisans to succeed. Bottom line: A beautiful neighborhood bakery with solid execution, friendly service, and a kouign-amann worth the trip. I'll be back--and I'm keeping an eye on that pastry case.

    Vicente is GOATed. I go there almost every Saturday for amazing pastries and breakfast sandwiches…read more I'm hesitant to leave a review because I don't want the line to get any longer.
