It's places like this that make me wish I worked in uptown. Coco and the Director is a trendy coffee shop that also serves some food and alcohol. While the decor screams Portland, it features a well thought out interior that has many work spaces (and outlets), huge open layout, and stadium seating for the occasional small concert. My wife and I swung in here on a whim on Friday night and were pleased to stumble upon a small concert and enjoyed a beer in the stadium seating. Overall a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. I would love to use the space during the day to get a coffee and plug into work to knock some stuff out. Overall a really cool space - especially since it is so un-charlotte and right in the middle of town. Props to the owners for having the vision and confidence to bring this neat concept to Charlotte.
