The Husband and I visited here on our anniversary for an adventure out. The place itself is cute — plenty of seating and a chill environment with great service. Parking is easy too! We got the apple cruffin, a London Fog, and a winter seasonal drink (a snowflake something latte? I don't remember the name 🫠) and while the apple cruffin was delicious, the drinks were... not it 😅 The London Fog lacked any kind of sweetness to it. Like, straight black tea with milk. And the same was true of the latte — it tasted like hot oatmilk. And while it was the PERFECT drinking temperature, in a cute stoneware mug, with beautiful latte art, I wasn't impressed with the taste of the drinks — which is what we came for. But also, I'm not mad either. We had a good experience on our visit. Overall, it may be worth it if you live close by, but definitely not a drive we plan on making again.

Amazing coffee shop. They have coquette bakery goods which are delicious but what's even better are their espresso drinks, they are the bomb! They are pulled with precision, not bitter and latte art is gorgeous!!! They make their own housemade vanilla and the rest are organic syrups. The espresso drinks are served with organic dark chocolate!! Beautifully styled cafe! Will definitely come back when In the area!!! We got the seasonal pumpkin spice and the vanilla cortado. Both were great!!

In a world where we have so many choices. Some places and people simply stand out. Kunu Coffee Co. deserves the 5 stars! I’ve been meaning to stop by forever and I finally had some time to come in and check out what they have to offer! Kunu is a specialty shop, and I had the chance to meet the owner, Terence on this visit. He is proud of his business and the fact that they use local dairy from Lincolnton, NC, (something I admire as a local business supporter) and the baristas also shared the fact that they support local bakeries for their goods! I love that! I need to try the next time. This place is so cute (perfect to get some work done alone or in a small group) and I especially loved their merchandise! They are proud of their Matcha. They’re also well known for their lattes—people give them really good reviews on those! I highly recommend Kunu Coffee Co. I can’t wait to share with my friends in the Town of Davidson! Happy Exploring! Josephine Local Guide ☕️❤️

Not bad! Small, quiet spot, respectable coffee and a handful of options for breakfast bites. Kind of surprised they don't use some of the open space for more tables indoors. I bet the outdoor seating is great as it warms up. Wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for it, but it's a decent stop in the immediate area.

stopped in this cute little shop. My mocha was great. The kids loved the smiley toast with peanut butter and fruit. And we were lucky to be there on a weekend to try the sausage roll which was awesome. Highly recommend. I wish there was one on the west side of lake norman.
