Got dropped off in DT Charlotte for an entire day and happened upon Dean & Deluca.
I'm rating this PURELY on the coffee that I got here and the venue. It was just okay, but not nearly as comfortable as the Starbucks down the street.
I like to find a nice cafe to do the morning crossword and this cafe is part of a mall-like structure. This place seems to be POPPIN' for lunch and sandwiches, but I found it to be on the expensive side since I like to "eat on the cheap" when I'm in NC. Seems like a pretty good place for corporate lunch orders to go though!!
The cafe itself is not small, it has a good amount of space, but only a fraction of the space is reserved for customer seating. The seats aren't the most comfortable so it's not a place I'd would linger for more than an hour or two. Plenty of seating in the outside corridor of the mall and a public restroom in the building (up the escalators and to the left).
If you're looking for free wifi and more seating, I'd go for the starbucks a 3 minute walk away!! :)
