Smelly Cat Coffee House & Roastery

"9/69 breakfast sandwich of the week. Breakfast bagel with avocado, cheese and egg. Honestly I came in looking and feeling like a smelly cat and sustenance was needed. Overall quite nice! Sometimes with a bagel you need more filling to balance out what Webster dictionary can only describe as dearthy ness of the bagel. This one, however was soft and hard at the same time. Perhaps an expert deployment of butter?? Barely needed hot sauce on this one which is always a great sign. Would recommend and under a solid price point of 8 dollars. Giving it 8.8/10 mcmuffs"

"This is such a cool spot! I love the indoor and outdoor seating which makes it pretty dog friendly, plus the parking spots right in front. Everyone was very friendly and the coffee and food was really great. I had a quiche and an iced latte with the spiced brown sugar syrup and it came out quickly. If I’m going through Charlotte again, I’m making a stop here again for sure."

"Smelly Cat stands out as a distinct coffee shop in the artsy Noda neighborhood of Charlotte. While the space is cozy with limited indoor seating, they offer convenient walk-up window service and ample outdoor seating. On my visit, I tried their chai tea latte and it was delightful."

"We’re just visiting Charlotte for the weekend and found this place & are so glad we did! The owner was more than accommodating- she explained the menu and even suggested samples before we ordered to make sure we got coffee that we really enjoyed! She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was excellent. They make all of their syrups and even roast their own coffee! The inside has a few tables and does have AC, she does lock the front door though always so just order at the window first and she will give you a table inside if you’d like, or there are lots of spaces outside to sit too! I had the lavender cold brew and it was delicious. My friend who came with got a decaf latte with spiced brown sugar syrup (which was homemade) & that was fantastic too! They also have some Cuban coffee that I would love to give a try too! We didn’t order food, but would’ve gotten a bagel, frittata (only served on weekends), donut, or sandwich. Highly recommend this cozy, welcoming coffee shop!"
