Still groggy on west coast time from my flight in the night before, I find myself awake at 8am for my first day in Charlotte. My brain pleads for my coffee fix and my body cries for either sleep or sugar.
Thanks to yelp I am able to map out some cafe destinations within walking distance from my friends apartment. The yelper before me was a big help with words like "pastries, smoothies, Mocha, etc" and on to Port City Java I go.
I was not disappointed and it was a perfect little spot to start my day. By the time I actually dragged myself down there it was nearly noon but considering I felt like it was 9am, I was so filled with joy to find out that they serve breakfast items all day as well.
I enjoyed a caramel latte, a hot breakfast sandwich, then I was re-energized to start my exploring. I had also eyeballed the yummy smoothies but decided I was too full...maybe a mid afternoon snack hhmm???
