“It was quiet atmosphere. The customer service was good but it wasn't happy smiling interacting. As you can see it was very clean and neat organized. They even had vegan choices. The be berry sting was delicious! The food is good so I would go back hopefully next time they be a bit more uplifting in there but overall I would go back“
“Great little taproom and bar at the bottom of historic Main St. in Monroe NC. Greg and Jen have a constantly rotating tap selection featuring many local and Carolina based breweries, with something for every preference and palate.The recently added liquor and cocktail bar has a great selection of mid and top shelf offerings with a few hard to find additive free tequilas (a personal favorite).With frequent live music, a snack selection if you're hungry and big pup friendly patio Homebrew is a must stop destination in the growing Monroe NC Social District.“
“Anytime I am in the vicinity of Brakeman’s, no matter if I need it or not, it’s coffee time. It’s a quaint little home that they turned into a full-fledged business. The concept is locomotives, so the interior exposed brick, hard metal accent pieces, and even names of beverages all point in the same direction. The customer service is incredible and usually has the same faces, so getting to know the staff on a first name basis is very common. The bakery they contract with is a local non-profit and puts out amazing products. They also have other food related items for purchase for convenience. Where it all matters, because upscale coffee shops are white noise these days, the beans and roast are impeccable. I’ve tried a little bit of everything on their menu and the espresso is very high level. I highly recommend the Ticket to London. Pricing is on-point and reasonable considering the quality of product and location of business. What I really enjoyed, just as much as the rest of the aforementioned aspects, was the customer demographic. You get a variety of everyone in there, but yet it doesn’t feel overcrowded, overhyped, or commercialized. It’s just a good local spot with great coffee and top shelf staff. I highly recommend.

“Drinks were out quickly! The thai tea was a perfect sweetness and the tea flavor was amazing! The strawberry tornado was fresh, and the yakult separated into two parts, not sure if that's supposed to happen! Boba was sweet, soft, and chewy!“
“The boba is so nice and warm at the bottom of the drink. It’s the best boba in the Charlotte area hands down. This is the 6th boba place I’ve tried from Matthews to Concord. Black tiger one is lit. I get it less sweet but my friends like it to be the average sweetness. Mint melon is dank “

“Do you like a smooth sweet but not too over the top coffee? Brakeman's Honey Bee Latte is for you! I am sure their other drinks are fab but this is the drink I purchased a minimum of 5 times in my weekend sun the greater Charlotte area. Even when the place was busy, the baristas kept their positive and upbeat attitudes about them. It made the experience that much better. Plus, you have cute items and decor to view if you have to wait for your coffee which doesn't happen often given how quick the baristas are.“
“The boba tea is always delicious whenever I stop in. The staff are nice, but don't always greet you. The store is clean and bright! The only real downside is, I'm not sure what air freshener or cleaner they are using, but it's always so strong when I go in and I can't wait to get my drink and leave.“
“This was such a pleasant surprise. I don’t usually write reviews, but I was craving a smoothie bowl after a yoga class, and I stumbled upon berries and bites. At first, I was a little bit taken aback because I didn’t realize it was in a gas station, but don’t judge a book by its cover because the bowl was delicious, absolutely delicious. And then I realize maybe it was a good thing it was in a gas station because I was able to get my bowl and also a bag of Takis on the side. ? They were super sweet and kind.“
“Friendly staff! It may have been the owner that was there this morning, but he was very nice and appreciative, regardless. The acai bowl and smoothie we ordered were both awesome. The bowl, which is what I had, was huge! I got the large so I could have for 2 meals and it delivered! Will definitely be back soon! Want to try one of the smoothies that caught my eye.“

“Wife and I absolutely love this place, have only ordered delivery through Doordash when we order but definitely need to come by and check the place out! My kids LOVE the Mac & Cheese bites with the cheese dip and the Chicken Parmesan bowl is always delicious ?“
“Absolutely amazing coffee shop! I love the vibes here, can spend the whole day studying & reading here while sipping on their amazing coffee! Everyone here is so friendly and the coffee selections are all so good! I had the toasted smore latte and it was tasty! The branding here is great and will come here again!“
“I've been coming here pretty consistently now and I've had good service every time. I once went in during a rush and got a smoothie that was too clumpy, but as soon as I let the staff know they apologized and remade my smoothie. They even gave me a free cookie as an apology! I recommend the place over other smoothie places and the store always smells so good.“
“the girl at the register yesterday was so slay she made me the best taro milk tea ever with such precision and grace and she is young and beautiful which made it more graceful definitely coming back again yes yes she was super sweet and enthusiastic drink was just as sweet 10/10 would recommend coming back i hope i see her again ☺️?“
“I have really been dedicated to losing weight this year after pregnancy. I started juicing on my own and now that I work full-time, SMOOTHIE KING is my to go for meal replacements. Every time I go, I am able to get suggestions of how to better enhance a smoothie at an affordable cost. I was also advised to maybe ask for no frozen fruits and no extra added sugars.“
“I come in about once a week and the smoothies always taste great and come out in a timely manner. The service is great. Workers are super friendly and always listen to my fun facts, such as how Indonesia is the world’s largest producer of nickel. Some even take the time to get to know you and your order. Can’t recommend enough.“
“I ordered the açai bowl. This was literally a breath of fresh air after almost not eating one in over a year. Everything tasted absolutely delicious and fresh. The service was amazing. Plenty of toppings. I love that you could have two extra toppings. I wish it had a little bit more açai in it. I also never had a açai bowl with Nutella so I thought that was extra delicious. There’s a variety of fruit that you can add and you can create your own bowl. This is a place I would definitely recommend and you can have a guilt free dessert. Such a vibe I love the inside it was super clean!“
