I'm pretty impressed with Coco and what I've seen so far. Probably the most impactful thing they have going for them is their space. Located right at the HEART of Charlotte, TRADE & TRYON, we are talking about prime real estate here. I'm not sure where you would go to park, but I'm a big fan of walking around everywhere.... make a trip out of it and use the light rail, or park at your usual go-to parking deck, and stroll out uptown.
If you enter in from the street, you notice a large lounge and stairs with lots of cushions on it for laying down and relaxing. Turn around and they've got a projector playing on the wall - great for movie night events (I think there is one coming up). You can just relax, have your treats and work/watch tv/read... I like the concept. Probably the only downside is when people decided to get "too comfortable" here and probably aren't wearing the best clothing for said laying around. Makes for some good people watching though!
The baristas? (I don't know what they call them here) have all been super nice and they always start a conversation with you more than the robotic, "can I take your order" at other places. They know their menu too! I've had a couple of questions - like what makes a "dirty chai" "dirty"... and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable.
Along the right side are lots of trinkets and eccentric goods you can shop (good gifts) or inspiring artwork to look at. And if you continue on to the right, the Marriott Lobby is connected to this place along with Stoke.
There's a large table in the back and also one in front of the place for group meetings and collaborations... and with the 2nd level up top... there should be no problem finding a seat / space here - very versatile.
