| - Yesterday I found my neighborhood coffeeshop in Cornelius, a cute little café on Bailey Road. In the mindset of not of OD'ing on it, I wanted to diversify the neighborhood cafes that I go to and find other spots for good measure. I found Summit on yelp and thought why not give it a try. Though it took me an additional 10 minutes on the road, I am happy to have ventured to Davidson to make it here today.
The neighborhood has a college town feel to it and is super quaint. The café itself is on South Main Street next to a lot of other local businesses and does its job of representing as the resident coffeeshop. It actually reminds me a bit of the places the cast went to in the movie "Reality Bites." Summit just has a quirky rundown feel to it with mismatched furniture, spongy dark flamingo colored wall paint, and interesting photographs in cool frames all over. The best is the antique lamp in the corner, and the guitar displayed on the fireplace. This is all the charm on the second floor where they have several outlets and plenty of seating. As another yelper has pointed out, there are also three other areas where you can sit - downstairs, the front patio, and the back patio. Wi-fi is free and reliable too.
As for the coffee, it's REALLY gooooood. Their fair trade coffee, which they call "total quality" is organic and free of pesticides. It's grown under a canopy of shade trees, which is a traditional and natural farming method of conserving land and nature. The taste is rich and strong without being overpowering.
The last toot I have for Summit is it's team of founders. They're a bunch of rugged outdoor adventurists who've climbed around the world and have this amazing coffee franchise. How cool is that?!!!
