The Experience:
Despite it's name, I'd highly recommend their coffee here. I had coffee in multiple cities while traveling, but this would be one of my favorite places during my week long trip.
NJC is located in 7th Street Market, which is an indoor marketplace with multiple shops. It's a small, wooden bar with stools that encircle the baristas and their coffee-making magic. There was a consistent line the entire time I was there and there might not always be a spot right at their bar, but there are neighboring tables around.
The more coffee drinks I taste, the more I expect it to be somewhat of an art form and crafted with care. NJC does just that. Quality products and well-conceived recipes, I enjoyed my drink easily. I had the vanilla sugar latte and although the picture shows kind of a sad latte art piece, the drink was delicious. I was about to order a second one, but refrained since I'm just visiting around for a taste of the local flavor of each city. I will approve NJC as one of the highlights of Charlotte, so I hope the locals recognize how lucky they are to have such a place :)
