| - A lovely spot for brunch, lunch or an early dinner in the heart of Elizabeth. Street and lot parking are easy and they have a lovely little patio right for sunny weather. Earl's Grocery is chalk full of fancy products; whether you're in the mood for a soda, beer, cheese or meat plate, full on meal or just snacking foods, they've got you covered. I love their fancy bottled sodas, quiet atmosphere and friendly staff. Although they weren't opened on my visit, I spied a couple huge garage doors that when opened would allow a nice breeze.
Whether you're into specialty products or just looking for a place to meet up with a friend, this is a sweet spot in Charlotte. I also admired their cocktail accessory area, full of bloody mary mixes and bitters (includes Raleigh's local Crude Bitters!). Earl's meets a variety of needs and if I lived locally, I would definitely hit them up for social settings more often. It's like a better version of Durham/Chapel Hill's Foster's Market [much, much better--although definitely just as pricy!]
