One of the best coffee shops in Charlotte. The wait can be a little long but it is worth it. The staff are always cheerful- they care about their coffee and do a very good job at it. The location is very good, of the light rail (which is very handy), in the 7th Street Market with other brilliant vendors and so close to Uptown.
NJC makes their own syrups and vanilla sugar, which is impressive. They use Counter Culture Coffee which is top notch. My favorite drink is a latte, the crema on the espresso is good and the milk is velvety smooth and has fine bubbles- it is excellent. The latte art on top is impressive too!
