My go-to! I'm here at least once a week and the coffee/matcha/quiche NEVER disappoints. It's also a cozy spot to work from. Highly recommend!

Great little coffee shop, the employees are always so nice and everything there is delicious! My go to is a redeye with cream and sugar, it never disappoints. The matcha is also really good, the bagels are tasty. And they have seasonal drinks as well. I usually go a couple times a week, such a lovely place. This place is also exceptionally clean, probably as clean as a hospital lol. Can’t recommend enough :)

Beautiful cafe with great vibes. The coffee drinks are solid, and the food is great. I've been here many times. The sandwiches, quiche, baked goods, and overnight oats are all good. It's a great place to meet for coffee or to get some work done. The outdoor seating is a fun way to take in the neighborhood activity.

I stopped in here after traveling by many times and never stopping. One day, I was running too late to go to another coffee shop, so I decided to stop by, and now this is my favorite coffee shop. The ambiance is minimalist and modern with a Nordic aesthetic. The staff is super sweet and hip, which adds to the overall vibe. Every time I get a hot, oat milk matcha latte with maple cardamom syrup. It is the perfect ease into your morning and tastes like a warm hug. I also LOVE their food. The tomato feta quiche is out of this world, as is the bacon, egg, and cheese on everything bagel. Both were suggested to me by the barista and were spot-on. The flavors are divine. The other thing that the baristas introduced me to was the Odeko app, which is the order-ahead platform they use that caters to increasing patronage at local coffee shops. Brilliant! Great spot tucked near Optimist Park and easily accessible at the 25th Street Light Rail stop.

Biscotti had a good portion; crispy crust and soft inner layer were great. Single origin coffee had very subtle flavor that one should take it as an espresso rather than americano.

Unfortunately the reason we went, ended up not working. We had a NSC gift card to spend and the store didn't accept it. (must be used online).The coffee is always delicious and very well done.I guess we can chalk it up to inflation but the drinks, as good as they are, are hyperventilated.I'll go back for a birthday or for a celebration.

This hidden gem needs to be on your radar next time you're looking for a place to catch up with a friend or do some work! There's plenty of seating and tables to do work or eat their yummy food. There's also outdoor seating that allows dogs! The service can be slow because the way they brew their coffee and espresso is very authentic and takes minutes per shot. You'll want to order to go knowing that it might take 10 minutes even when it's slow. Love this place!!

Night Swim takes coffee to a whole new level. You simply can't go wrong; whether you choose a latte, cappuccino, cortado, or cold brew, every drink is of the highest level. The quality of their beans is outstanding, and you can taste the expertise in every sip. Plus, they supply some of Charlotte's best coffee spots-talk about a stamp of approval! Before 2 pm, they serve a menu of breakfast and lunch options. I tried many plates there, like avocado BLT, sesame peanut tofu wrap, which is pretty spicy but a good vegan option, and focaccia sandwich, but my top picks are the quiche of the day (mine had leeks) served with a fresh side salad and the avocado toast on thin multigrain bread, topped with a poached egg and drizzled with irresistible harissa sauce. Morning happiness is guaranteed! The interior is minimalistic, with concrete walls, wooden tables, and an ambiance that exudes a Scandinavian vibe. I also like their dishes and branding on to-go cups - very aesthetic. Night Swim is a great spot if you need a focused work environment. The self-service setup ensures you can work in peace, with fast-working kitchen staff and friendly baristas who keep your coffee cravings satisfied.
Quiet shop with a nice atmosphere. Some gluten free breakfast options. The avocado blt on gf bread is super tasty. Overnight oats were good too. Coffee is solid but nothing special if you’re a coffee snob.

This coffee shop may look good but their coffee quality is not good. Their cappuccino was not hot enough, I had to ask them to heat it up for me again. The staff was not friendly at all. Other than coffee or tea, not much was offered. Not worth coming back here especially with the poor way they make their coffee and the unfriendly staff.
