Queen City Grounds 644 North Church Street, Charlotte, NC 28202

"Such a cute spot. Went 3x before leaving this review. Only thing I didn't like the first visit, was how hard the sour dough bread was. I know some people may prefer it, but it was a bit too hard for me. The second time I asked for a soft bagel and it was absolutely delicious. The bakery items are so good!! Loved the coffee too!! Great place!!"

"No shortage of great, local, coffee shops in Charlotte, and this is one of them. Their original location is in 4th Ward under the Skyhouse apartments, they have been in business about 5 years. Their second location is slightly west of the city on Morehead. I love the coffee here, but moreso I love the vibes. The downstairs has a bar and each seat has a large window to people watch. The upstairs is quaint, tucked away, and even has a little library nook. This is one of the few shops I'm tempted to buy merch from, their logo is of an owl that is artful yet simplistic. They are open later in the day, offer a brunch menu in the morning, a later in the day menu after 3 PM, and alcohol- I assume later in the day, there is a bar with beer taps and a beer fridge. They offer events several nights of the week. Wi-Fi password is "staygrounded". They will validate parking in the Skyhouse garage for 1.5 hrs if you ask. They will hand you a receipt to have scanned upon exiting the garage."

"Amazing! Great to bring laptop and work for a few hours. Every food item is TOP NOTCH! My favorite is the everything bagel breakfast sandwich! The atmosphere is so cute and quaint with several nooks for hanging and chatting with friends. Conveniently located in Uptown!!! I highly recommend this place for ANY coffee shop needs!!"

"Where should I start. This place is ideal. Welcoming atmosphere all are welcome! The coffee was amazing and food was superb. The upstairs is cozy. We sat down to enjoy our coffee and breakfast sandwiches and before we knew it, we were talking for almost 1hr and a half. The prices are decent as well. Not your average coffee shop!"

"Nice and relaxing, love the upstairs space. On the pricier side but not a rip off. Great place to meet up, get coffee or just read. I felt like the espresso and food was high quality. Happy with my experience (:"
