Coffee Shop Visited: Not Just Coffee
Location: No Da - Charlotte NC
Drink Ordered: Cappuccino
All I have to say is: best cappuccino I've probably ever had. In fact, it was so good I went back for another a couple hours after devouring the first. Anyone that I had talked to about this hole in the wall shop said that it was the best coffee they've had - naturally I had to see what all the fuss was about. It lived up to it's exalted standards.
The barista even managed to include some latte art when he topped it with foam. Other treats they have to offer that can't be found in many other coffee shops: pour over coffee and stone ground chocolate. Both are experiences your taste buds should venture to take.
The customer service is excellent and it's mainly run by just the one barista who, if I'm not mistaken, is also the owner. He knows about his caffeinated art and is always willing to offer little facts about the quality of what he serves.
The atmosphere is intimate with old brink discretely allowing that coveted vintage feel. It's hard to find because of it's petite size, but if you're ever in uptown Charlotte, it's worth driving a few minutes out of the way. Joe and I had never gotten along so well.
