Coco and the Director on Tryon and Trade.
Had me a sandwich that was personally made
Ingredients - Fresh. Expedient? Yes.
So 5 stars I guess would reflect my experience.
I would go back to relax to the atmosphere and aroma of my coffee that I drink straight black.
After I leave I would look to my left through the Starbucks window and Id say "take that"
So if you looking for lunch or just a cup a jo
Coco and the Director is the place you wanna go.
The best place for coffee and quick eats in Charlotte. Really great atmosphere and a great selection of food and drink. Can't wait to go back
Being there for the first time, it won't be my last, coffee and pastries were delicious and the vibe of the place was amazing! Also the staff were so friendly!!!!
Very cool place. Love the coffee and the banana bread was excellent. We will definitely be back whenever we are in uptown!
This place is amazing! Friendly staff and great drinks. Taylor makes the best latte :)You have to get less sweet Cinnamon sugar almond milk latte. Try it it's amazing!
Great coffee shop! It's a great place to get some work done or to meet up with friends for coffee. They've done a great job creating lots of areas for people to enjoy so you feel like you have your own "space" while you're there!
I just love it at Coco and the Director. The banana bread is to die for, so fresh and moist, topped off with the best coffee in town. Just sit back and enjoy!
Great place and the staff is super friendly. Will be my new stop on the walk to work...
Great place and excellent staff.
Love the Dirty Chai and the atmosphere is great! Also, really friendly and fun staff.
Found a delightful coffee shop here in Charlotte! The baristas were very helpful and the ambience is inspiring.
Friendly staff. Well lit, open space, inviting for coffee by oneself or joined by others. Reasonable prices and welcoming.
Staff was attentive to departures too.
I've only been there twice and both times were amazing!! The cold brew was definitely better than Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. And the banana bread?!?! The best I've ever had. I tried their regular hot coffee yesterday and it was average. They're a little on the expensive side, but you pay for quality and that's what you get here.
This place gives me life! Has great potential to become an institution in Uptown Charlotte! Awesome atmosphere, ecletic seating...and the coffee? FLAVOR to infinity!
A great space to relax and enjoy Charlotte. Coffee is excellent as well as the daily sandwiches!
We had an exceptional experience at this coffee shop, and what made it stand out was the fact that it wasn't part of a chain. The beautiful decor, good coffee, and friendly staff added to the charm. While the cronut didn't quite live up to the hype, all the other pastries were fantastic. Interestingly, the coffee shop is located in the Marriott lobby, making it a unique find. The place was very clean, and the restroom facilities are within the Marriott, ensuring convenience.
Amazing interior design in this coffee house; one of the best I have seen anywhere. Unfortunately no warm breakfast options were available as they did not have a cook for the day. Their sandwich warmer was broken. Otherwise 5/5 coffee spot.
This place looks small on the outside but it is huge inside! Coffee was great, croissant was great, and tons of seating areas. Would come here 10 times out of 10 instead of Starbucks!
Stopped in while traveling through Charlotte. Great atmosphere and vibes. You could come here to collaborate/work with others and sign up for a spot downstairs or find yourself going through the layered step platforms which were designed perfectly. Great coffee and superb friendly service. We even dabbled in some of the fresh brewed loose leaf lemon ginger tea. Group favorites include the breakfast sandwiches and muffins and ice’d mocha. Eclectic and worth the stop!
The coffee is a bit thin, though no signs of astringency. Really cool space with nice people behind the bar. Probably a bit overpriced, but really good spot to hang out.
Pretty much just stopped here on a whim. We closed out the Discovery Place Science. We didn't have much to do until much later in the evening and were in the mood for a snack. We saw this spot as we walked and we just gave it a try. Good thing we did. We really enjoyed our drinks and pastries. The ☕ coffee and scone were 👌👍 , they were my favorite. The ambiance was cool, pretty laid back despite being dead smack inside inside a business/financial building. Prices were up to par with everything else in the area. The staff was friendly. Definitely a must try.
Really nice place!!
Very cozy. The coffee was good, the cronut was good, even though it was coated with too much sugar, the banana bread was delicious.
It was a great way to start our morning.
Nice smooth latte for a Wednesday morning. Cool place to start the day off. Wish I had more time to chill
This coffee shop is the absolute cutest. Latte with sugar free hazelnut was perfect! Sausage, egg and cheese English muffin was sooo good!! Fresh made to order eggs. I love the different seating areas in here, and sections. There’s an area with pillow seats, and another side with lounge chairs and tables. Really enjoyed our coffee and breakfast. Baristas we’re also so friendly and nice!! Will be back.
Great location and atmosphere. Pricey but expected with location being in the city. If you are staying at the Marriott, there is access from within. Would have given 5 stars if service was more efficient (long lines) and ability to customize breakfast sandwiches (basically warm pre-made and give to you). Cronuts were the highlight!
Place with a very cool vibe and micro-climate I should say where you you can relax on the steps, work studiously on the tables and also have team conferences.
Coffee is great too!
The pastries were delicious and amazing atmosphere. Very calm and soothing. The service was very nice. The pour over coffee takes a lot longer than I'm used to, but tasted good. Cannot express how good the pastries were. Highly recommend the Mexican chocolate.
Such a fun coffee shop! Lots of unique places to get seated for work or a conversation over coffee. The platform steps and cushions are so fun! Coffee was declined and despite busy line moved very quick!
I’ve been here a few times to work, I like to sit upstairs. They have a lot of space and seating options. The atmosphere is cool- Good for individuals and groups, work or social. I had their bacon egg and cheese breakfast croissant, I didn’t get a picture because I ate it, it was really good! Their coffee is tasty also, lots of options.
This spot is a GEM. I was in the city staying at the Marriot for a few days and decided to give this cute coffee shop a try - I am so glad I did! The coffee was great and Sally was delightful at the register. She made my whole day. I can't wait to come back to try the pastries!
Wish there was an equivalent to this in South End. Great coffee and a good divergence from the classic southern industrial vibes of Charlotte. Will be coming back. Great for studying, meeting with someone, killing time etc
Saw this place online while looking at local reviews and decided to try the cinnamon doughnut. It was tasty but expensive! $6.50 to be exact. This is big enough to split between two people for something light with coffee.
I would recommend trying it despite the steep price.
I'd come back for the atmosphere alone. Great place to spend the day getting work done! Coffee wasn't the best but I didn't try anything else. The pastries/food looked delicious. Can't wait to go back!
Love this place. If I lived in Charlotte I would hang out here all the time. They are connected to the Marriot hotel and it was very convenient. The atmosphere was very inviting and comfortable. They even have meeting space In the back. The service was very friendly and helpful with menus selections. The coffee was really good. I tried two of their cronuts and they were amazing. I tried the cinnamon and the chocolate and wanted to buy a box and take them home with me they were so good. I would definitely come here again.
