I really wish I could have stayed longer because this is a REALLY neat coffee shop. It’s in the lobby of the Marriott, but the shop is its own secluded thing.

It has a few different sections with comfortable seating and places to sit down, plus a more hotel lobby looking area out of a door. Good spot for remote work or just to swing by, as my coffee was excellent too.

I ordered a small mocha-rose iced latte because it looked unique, and it was good. $5.96.

Only complaint is parking, which is to be expected. If you live in uptown you’re good, but the closest garage was $3 every 20 minutes, which is kind of absurd. Not a dig on the shop though, just be smarter than me.

Overall, this place is sweet. Good place for a meet up, remote work, or your pick-me-up for work.

The Lights is a cute little place right next to the NC/SC border. It is primarily a sit-down breakfast place, but they do a lot of coffee as well. The decoration is very modern and light (no pun intended), and the food is good, too. I got a cappuccino, and it was valid. The big thing here is that it’s pretty expensive, though.

Speed of Service: 5/10, but I ordered food so I didn’t expect it immediately.

Overall a good place. If I lived closer to it, I could see it as a nice spot to meet some friends for brunch, or something of that sort. It was worth the drive!
E Bar Coffee – Southpark Mall

4400 Sharon Rd, Charlotte, NC 28211

E Bar is my go-to at the mall. Every time I go to Southpark, it’s an essential to stop by. Good coffee, usually pretty quick, and right next to the entrance of Nordstrom (by either Palmetto Moon or Lululemon, can’t remember). I got an iced honey lavendar latte last time, and it delivered.

Quality of Coffee: 7.5
Atmosphere: It’s a to-go place so 0
Price: 6/10
Speed of Service: 5/10
Number of options: 9/10

Definitely a go-to if you’re at the mall. I wouldn’t say go out of your way for it if you aren’t at the mall, but it delivers and hits the spot.
