The Civil Union sandwich is my fave! I crave it often! Delicious sandwiches and desserts/pastries. Lattes are always good. Get there early because they can run out of certain items, like the Civil Union sandwich. They do have parking, indoor seating, and a small amount of outdoor seating. Always one of my fave places to go when I visit Charlotte!

The atmosphere was the best part.Came in was looked at by one specific worker multiple times never greeted never even spoken to .. until we asked to order after standing at the register for over 10 mins and never spoken to once. She proceeded to tell us she will find someone. One comes feom the restroom and has an attitude to have to take our order. Definitely a never again. Food was boring and bland the biscuits are horrible ? and so is the service

This place used to be awesome and somewhere I'd find myself most weekends to score a donut and breakfast. Unfortunately the food over the last 6 months has gone dramatically downhill. Specifically the baked goods and bread that is used in almost every dish. I tried to give it several second chances but today was my last. I miss what this place once was and hope they find their way back.

Convenient, great hours, management is great. The employees are typical service industry know-it-alls annoyed by everyones' existence. Some of the food items are pretentious. This coffee shop/breakfast spot /lunch place /bottle shop/retail shop is overwhelming but not quite an upscale cracker barrel. Everything on the sandwich menu is great. I would just make subs on little things like bread choice or lettuce. If an ingredient is highlighted like a lavender láte I should taste the lavender.Kid-friendliness: Open seating and outdoor seating easy for strollers and large parties.Wheelchair accessibility: Main entrance has a ramp 10 ft from the door. The dining room and outside patio have stairs to additional seating. It's easy to access the counters and cutlery.

I adore this spot! I've been coming here for years and to this day this is my partner and I's favorite latte/coffee in Charlotte- if you like florals get the Oat Milk Latte with Lavender and Honey. Their pastries are also delicious and always rotating. Bonus points for the outside area for your furry friends!Parking: Limited number of spots

Walked in today to be given some weird looks by everyone. I told the cashier that she needs to give me a minute to read the menu and she seemed impatient. I got the Lincoln's Bedroom at first glance and an iced latte. Came out to 15 dollars. The outcome of this visit was: I got a cold sandwich that was not good at all and was pretty small for the 10-dollar price tag. The latte was acceptable. I was expecting the store to be more in theme. The service was fast however the food is not worth it at all.

Super cute spot for getting work done or a coffee date. Parking lot was open with spots.We ordered the apple braised brisket special sandwich on the big boy loaf sourdough. They make the sourdough in house! The bread alone sets this place apart from all other shops that serve sandwiches. The sandwich was flavorful and the bread added the best texture.We had waited a bit for our sandwich due to kitchen issues but the barista on staff offered us a pastry for the inconvenience. That's good business in my opinion.We'll definitely be back.

This review is solely for the potatoes. Absolute robbery. $7 for dry COLD hard lumps of potato with no flavor if it weren’t for the onions. Do not get them ! Not to mention I went and looked in the kitchen and I’ve never seen more miserable people in my life. What a terrible experience on a nice Sunday morning.

Got breakfast Sammy and stuffed flapjack both are awesome. Need to come back and try the lunch sammys. It’s a market too so they sell odds and ends but they’re specialty is bread ?. Will for sure come again
Love the Mary's muffin they make a great latte as well! A great place to take visitors in town

Today was the last day I will ever step foot in this establishment. Horrific customer experience and bland food. After waiting 20 minutes in line, we were told they were out of two of the sandwiches we wanted to order and they were also out of Cuban coffee. Why this wasn't effectively communicated to an entire room of people prior to getting to the front is beyond me. Why they don't have basic ingredients on a Saturday morning at brunch time is again, beyond me. Now it's 30 minutes later and my friend still doesn't receive her basic egg sandwich. I ask the manager, Aubrey - "Hi can you please check because maybe it was stolen or skipped." Her response, "It wasn't stolen they're making it now." ...Even though everyone else in my party that ordered their sandwiches were called about 15 minutes ago. Not a "I'm so sorry for the wait" from the manager or a "I apologize for the inconvenience." Then, 5 more sandwiches come out, but still not my friends. Why didn't the manager have the cook fire her sandwich after she knew my friends sandwich was clearly overlooked? Also, they place all the food next to the trash. Super gross. Now it's nearly 40 minutes and no sandwich. We have to go to the airport so I ask the manager for some pastries to go while my friend waits outside. My friend goes inside to get the refund on the sandwich she ordered and paid for that was never made. Aubrey, the manager, publicly fought with my friend on the refund saying that she didn't deserve one because she got free pastries and that the pastries were "far more expensive than her sandwich." Are you kidding me??? We ordered and paid for a sandwich your staff never made and I had to ask you for something to feed her with because your staff failed to do so and you say she doesn't deserve her refund, despite the horrific customer experience you put her through??? Absolutely disgusted by how this place is run--this is not the establishment it once was. Also, the LGBT was inedible and the pastries were way over sugared. Will never be back here again and I recommend you avoid it too.

This place has such a cute atmosphere, is such a great place for casual meetings, and a good spot to get out of the house for a bit if you work from home like I do. It's a bit noisy so if you have any Zoom meetings, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as your choice to work from that day. I come here every so often since it is a convenient location for our team to meet up at for work and I usually get a coffee and a sandwich. For the most part, everything is quite good but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come here. The sandwiches are always amazing but are consistently super messy so watch out. This visit I got Mary's Muffin Breakfast Sandwich with avocado. The ingredients were so fresh and incredible but it took a plethora of napkins to eat this sandwich.. I also tried their matcha for the first time on this visit and I would not recommend it. I haven't had a coffee here that disappointed though, so I would encourage you to go that direction! The matcha was just very watered down and didn't have much flavor to it. Some of the staff here are super nice and some are just not but I guess that's just how it is sometimes! They were super busy so I'm sure they may have just had a bit too much going on and we've all been there. Either way, I think it's a cute stop in a beautiful historic building in South End and worth checking out. I enjoy my time here but it isn't my first choice when it comes to food, coffee, or tea.

excellent service, knowledgeable, well trained baristas, and incredible food at reasonable prices, with adequate indoor seating!! i came here with a friend for my birthday breakfast and i ordered the sticky biscuit (?) and my friend ordered the avo toast. both were incredible. the biscuit is obviously made in house and has amazing flavor. the avo toast was delightful, although we agreed that a little more acid (maybe swap the red onions for pickled onions!) would really take this from a wonderful dish to an out-of-this-world one.i had a drip coffee that was truly delightful and my friend’s latte was superb. we wanted to try a dessert but didn’t have room after our breakfast! will definitely be back.
