This is a quaint little coffee shop in the heart of uptown Charlotte. Very convenient if you're working at or close to one of the banking centers. Staff could've been a little friendlier, especially when it's not as busy... But at the same time, I can't blame them for being more robotic than other coffee shops as the business gentleman in front of me was complaining about a plethora of things, and he hadn't even gotten his items yet. I am sure they deal with a good chunk of banking business people who think they are better than everyone and expect absolutely no flaws. Chai Latte was delicious and did the job! Service was quick and was super convenient for where I was. Also lots of space if you're meeting someone or needing to work remote. If you're in the uptown area, check it out!

A new coffee must try in uptown Absolutely love the vibe here. I like the concept of the sitting pillows as it gives a comfortable and cozy vibe whether you're stopping in for a coffee or looking for a place to work. They had a nice variety of fall flavors - my co worker got a snickerdoodle latte with oat milk (left) and I got a cookie butter cold brew (right) with almond milk.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in uptown. It's a really big space and has multiple places inside where you can have your coffee and work. The noise level here is also very low which gives you uninterrupted working hours. My go to order: -Iced Vanilla Latte w/ almond milk Lastly, they also have cute merch and latte smelling candles. I can't wait to go back to get some candles for fall.

This place is such a vibe!! The vibe and different seating options make this a unique coffee shop that stands out amongst most in Charlotte. Coco & the Director has plenty of drink options (smoothies, celcius, coffee, beer, etc.) and food, which is hard to come by at coffee shops. The service was 10/10 and I got an iced caramel latte which was very good. Looking forward to trying some food next time I come in! my only complaint is is the parking - but I know that's not the business fault just more so uptown!

Absolutely wild fried chicken biscuit sandwich. The pics/video does NOT do it justice, I couldn't get a good angle on it. Delightfully crunchy exterior with tender and wet insides. Huge piece of chicken, I think it was a whole thigh, perfect choice. Delicious cheese blend and the jalapeno jam was a nice lil kiss on top. I'd go back just for this sandwich again Coffee was good too, I got the rocky road latte and it tasted like melted rocky road ice cream

Wow, what cool space! Such a great spot to work or meet a friend for a drink. They even had a table with TVs in the back perhaps to watch a game. I found this place on Yelp! I always order an iced Americano with a pump of chocolate. My drink was delicious. I will always try a cronut where I can find one and they had a key lime pie cronut. I noticed they make food to order and there was a grill in the cook was preparing pancakes. I also purchased a bag of North Carolina potato chips and popcorn that looked interesting. They have a refrigerator section with cold drinks and yogurt and fruit for sale too. I did not go to the bathroom, but I believe this is at the bottom of the Marriott. So maybe the bathrooms are in the hotel. But I love the pillows with types of seats. I would definitely recommend this cool vibe coffee shop.

Great vibe, great pastries and breakfast sandwiches, and really creative coffee creations. Very hip, doesn't feel like a restaurant. Has an area for people to work while eating, has relaxation stations with couches, and has a cool lounge area where the cutest dog was sitting when we arrived. The Cronut was what it should be. So many layers, could taste the buttery croissant despite the sugar glaze. The blueberry cheesecake filling was the perfect amount and loaded with real blueberries. The orange muffin tastes exactly like fruit loops and was incredibly moist and delicious. The bacon, breakfast sandwich was good but know that the egg is more like a hard boiled egg that has been smashed. Will definitely return the next to me I'm in Charlotte.

This is such a cute coffee shop. While home for a week I found myself patronizing the same coffee shop. As such, my sister suggested I try another one. We stopped in after having lunch downtown. I will say that this spot is more ideal for patrons that are already downtown. If you are not, you will have to find parking on the street( which will likely have a cost!). When we walked in there were ample staff at the counter. I ordered an unsweetened matcha latte with oat milk. I love the fact that they offer both a pre- sweetened and a non sweetened option! My drink was made quickly. We opted to dine in to enjoy the unique seating options. They have a sitting area that is directly on the stairs. They have pillows out for a little extra cushion. It's such a vibe! In addition to the cute vibe, they have a small retail section. They had a number of flavored syrups for sale and popcorn. If you are in the area I would strongly suggest stopping on.
