  • I discovered Coco and the Director while searching on Yelp one day for coffeehouses. "What's this?" I thought. "A gigantic coffeehouse with stadium seating? How did I not know of this?!? And who are Coco and the Director?" So one Sunday afternoon, we decided to venture into Uptown to check it out. First, let me preface my story by saying that I am not a football fan (yeah, sorry), so I do not keep track of game days. Second, let me say that going on any Sunday into Uptown during football season (the fall/winter months when you most likely want hot coffee) is a crap shoot unless you know the Panthers are playing out of town. We drove around for about 20 minutes looking for a (free) parking space. (I wasn't going to pay $20 to park, the going rate during a game, just to get a cup of coffee.) After circling for quite some time and going down one one-way street to the next, we finally found an available parking spot on the street. It was about 1/2 mile away, but it felt like 2 miles after driving so long. So now we're there. It wasn't super busy, most likely because of the impossible parking situation. Upon entering, you're blown away by the size of the place and the amount of detail that was put into it. It's truly an amazing establishment. There are rooms with comfy chairs (even a conference table) tucked behind the main room as well. I ordered a mocha and we split a cronut. For it not being busy, it took much longer than Starbucks to get our drinks. And, sadly, my mocha was just tepid. The taste was ok, but it was really lacking the warmth I was craving. The refrigerated cronut was just ok, too. I'm not sure if they're made on premises, but most likely they come pre-packaged. I certainly wouldn't get it again or spend that much ($6). It wasn't out-of-this-world, it wasn't super fresh, and it wasn't that big (did I mention it was $6?). So while I wasn't truly impressed by the food or drink quality, I give Coco and the Director four stars for its amazing atmosphere alone. (I knocked off that extra star because of the food and drink.) I might come back if I happen to be Uptown in the future in the morning or afternoon, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way, especially on a game day.
