I was pleasantly surprised by Mugs. A Counter Culture account, when I stopped by they were serving up locally roasted Magnolia. A little overheated out of the cafe, nice my cup cooled off a bit it offered up an enjoyable, sweet and slightly syrupy profile. The cafe itself was cool, not really what Id expect to find in the shopping plaza. The owner was a super nice guy, and I feel like if they upgraded their brewing methods to offer a hand pour, or some other manual option, this place would definitely be one of the better shops in the Charlotte area. Actually, it already is one of the better shops in the coffee desert of Charlotte. Worth a return visit for sure, I'd be psyched to head back in once they get restocked with CC to see what they're getting in. If you're in the area, swing through to check this place out.
