What a gem. Breakfast sandwich far exceeded my expectations. And they have gluten free bread that is good. Wine and beer hall with cool patio out front. I'll be back.
One of my girlfriends and I wanted to try a cute coffee place, as we are both coffee fans and visiting the Charlotte area. This place was super disappointing, low quality, and incredibly overpriced. Our breakfast sandwiches were tiny, cold, and made with a hamburger bun. My friend’s gluten free option came un-toasted and we had to ask them to warm it up. The cappuccino was good. Check out the pictures attached for a better understanding of the mediocre quality of the eats!
A much heralded Charlotte restaurant, not sure why it took me so long to visit — truthfully, I think I was jaded as diners would typically share “must try” dishes that seemed to be delicious but not gluten-free friendly.
Well, this meal was a reminder that I should reach out to a restaurant instead of only reviewing a menu. We were impressed by the team’s awareness of the dishes — and what was (or was not) gluten-free safe. It was quite easy to order an entire meal without much change. Dessert was the least interesting for me — an adaptation to the banana pudding was offered, but dinner was so satisfying that this was not a needed cap to the night.
We started with the chips and onion dip — though the chips were very over salted —this is a must try dish for sure! We also ordered the summer salad which was a collection of endive, apples, radishes — this was fine, but nothing worth a review/recommendation. The table also ordered the bread with beet butter — not gluten-free, but the table said it was delicious. For dinner we shared many plates: roasted chicken, wagyu pot roast, mushrooms risotto, roasted broccoli, and roasted carrots. Everything was delicious—a great combination of robust flavors and fresh ingredients.
It is worth the note that this is not a reasonably priced meal — taking out the bottle of wine, this meal was easily $50-$75 a person across the split plates — but the dishes were decent sizes, the composition was memorable, and overall this is a meal that felt worth the price.
It’s a perfect cafe to visit in any season or escape for a the remote work, as they have amazing indoor and outdoor spaces.
Their coffee grounds and their all day breakfast options are very much authentic. Their gluten free and vegan breads are to give a try.
