Without a doubt my favorite coffee shop in Charlotte, even if they do not have the best coffee. The place is huge with plenty of seating be it tables, sofas or awesome air chairs. They also usually have great music playing which earns extra points in my heart. When I go I always get the french press because I have gone a few times in the past where the drip coffee had been cold, so annoying. The pastry selection is overwhelming in a good way because everything seems to be good, at least from what I have had with the macaroons being my favorite. They also serve real food, the soups are great as are the sandwiches. On the weekends they serve quiche which is among some of the best I have eaten.
