Cappuccino was over steamed and tasted burnt. Fig brie argula sandwich ok. Prosciutto was crispy and sandwich was too sweet. Dog hair on the table outside. Wouldn't recommend. But the prices were on the lower end however

★☆☆☆☆Feb 2026
I had a very uncomfortable experience at this coffee shop yesterday around 2:30 PM. I came in to do some work on my laptop. The employee at the counter greeted me and asked if I wanted anything, and I politely said I might order in a moment since I needed to settle in and start working first. While I was there, I felt like he kept watching me repeatedly, even while I was on the phone. It made me feel pressured and unwelcome, as if I was expected to order immediately just to be allowed to sit there. After about 30 minutes, I went to the counter and asked if I needed to purchase something, and he confirmed that I did. He also mentioned something about using the WiFi, which came across as unnecessary and a bit dismissive t’s not like the WiFi is going to run out. I did tell him directly that the way he was looking at me was unnecessary and very impolite. I still ended up buying a bottle of water, but the overall interaction felt uncomfortable and could have been handled in a much more polite and straightforward way. I completely understand that businesses may expect customers to make a purchase, but the constant staring and indirect comments instead of simply explaining the policy upfront made the experience unpleasant. I’ve been to many coffee shops and have never felt this kind of treatment before. I live in Cornelius and have visited a few times, but unfortunately this experience makes me never to come back.

I visited this adorable quaint shop for a local client meeting. We had a glazed blueberry scone, a ham egg and cheese breakfast croissant sandwich, black coffee, latte cold! It was incredible and we all thought the location. Service and atmosphere were equally as incredible as the coffee and food! It’s definitely a spot you do not want to miss!

This is a cute coffee spot with great options. I had an oatmeal cookie latte ( half sweet) and it was delicious. My family and I stopped here on Fathers Day weekend and all 10 of us was very happy with our coffee choices. Note: check out their current drink specials in the wall instead of their menu.
