& Coffee — Restaurant in Charlotte

2024.04: My friend and I chose & Coffee to meet because we each live 45 minutes away from it and from different directions.

& Coffee is a coffee bar adjacent to shelves filled with international groceries in a corner of a food court.

I was late in meeting a friend because the parking was limited and congested. I found myself standing around, waiting because there wasn't seating at the bar, and my friend had a similar challenge with his car.

At 4 pm, & Coffee wasn't busy. Nevertheless, my tea took a long time. I guess the bar doesn't maintain an immediate source of hot water for the tea bags - so it does take time to boil water.

The barista mixed up my friends and my drinks, which wasn't an issue since the clientele equaled two.

I chose the honey ginger tea, and my cup of tea cost about $6. It was very sweet.

All things considered, I think that if I was local and could walk here, and I learned the menu, then I would occasionally visit the bar.

This friend and I will probably choose another coffee shop for text...

The cashier said he could give me a refund and gave me a receipt for it and told me it would go back on my card. A couple days later when I realized I still hadn't seen a refund on my card, I looked at the receipt I realized it said cash tendered but he never gave me cash. So he lied. I emailed Urban District Market since that was the contact listed for & Coffee but never received a response--so unfortunately it looks like I'm...

Walked here for coffee and a croffle with my toddler. At 9am they told me it’d be about an hour before the croffles were ready. They made up some reasons but the truth of the matter is that they don’t staff appropriately or operate in a way to offer their full menu during business hours. Luckily, UDM has a kids play area so we played for an hour and my toddler was still demanding his “waffle” so I tried to order one. They acted like it was a huge hassle and at 10 they said it’d still be 15 minutes before they were ready. Extremely disappointing experience, though I must say the coffee...
