This is hands down my favorite coffee joint in town! The baristas are always personable but keep it real (which is way more appreciative than a fake smile) even if it's 6:30 am! Their coffee is always on point and the early grey scones are amazing. They usually have a variety of decadent vegan treats from Move That Dough baking too! Treat yo self!���
Central Coffee is one of those places that’s just a cool spot to hangout. I’m a coffee snob and when they served double espresso with carbonated water on the side, I said yep. They know how to do it. Great place, enjoy.
Central Coffee Co. has never failed on my coffee and they have the best hot chocolate in town... and they have this habit of hiring nice people. Mad love!

Best coffee in Charlotte! Homemade Greek pastries are to die for!!! Lovely staff makes the place.
Friendliest and best baristas in Charlotte. Great place to relax, study, or have a meeting. Check it out!
Central Coffee Co.~friendly staff & great coffee, delicious pastries, nice atmosphere and the management is awesome.
The best coffee in Charlotte! I’m a big fan of their mochas and the baristas. Today Matthew made my mocha with a beautiful artistic touch, as always! My favorite foods - zucchini bread, spinach quiche, and spinach feta scone...but really, everything there is delicious. I wish I could always start my day here!
Our first time visiting Charlotte and found this gem. Coffee excellent . Vegan zucchini bread and mushroom omelet delightfully delicious!
Love the coffee, zucchini bread, and other pastries. But the breakfast casserole? Wow! Better than any other cafe, restaurant or franchise place.
This is the best neighborhood coffee spot in Charlotte. Great staff, great coffee, great community feel. Wonderful.
The latte is always exceptional here! The owners are wonderful people who care about their customers! The koularaki is worth the visit!!
I visited about a year ago, I'm originally from New York and I was on a trip searching for a job and an apartment. I searched for some coffee shops online and I happened to stop at this one. I went every day while I was in town and the baristas were so great! They actually gave me phone numbers of their old landlords, in hopes of helping me find a place. Unfortunately charlotte wasn't meant for me, but I found myself thinking of this place the other day and how much I missed their amazing chai lattes and their personable conversations and well wishes. I know that next time I visit charlotte, this will be my first stop after the airport. My only regret, not leaving this review a year ago.
Best coffee shop in all of Charlotte! The coffee is the best I've ever had
Tried the Level 7 Mocha this morning and it is considerably spicier than the Inferno. The initial sip wasn't bad and I asked if the wrong blend had been used by mistake. I allowed the coffee to rest for about 10 minutes and took a few more sips and that is when I noticed the burn. I highly recommend this to any chili-heads looking for a morning warmup. Central Coffee is always inventing new and flavorful options for your morning perk. Keep up the great work!
One of the best coffee spots in CLT . Definitely recommend it
They're a friendly/chill coffee shop :) good coffee, wifi, and local art.
The best Filthy Chai Latte I’ve had to date. My wife order matcha latte in almond milk with white mocha. No complaints over here. Don’t change your recipe and process. Happy customers from Atlanta!
I just love this place. I grab coffee here frequently and it's awesome! It's locally owned, and their coffee is incredible. The prices are very reasonable and I'd say lower than most coffee shops.
The staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and polite. The coffee and food are fantastic. I've had their pastries, bagels and more have all been delicious.
The coffee shop is cool, just simplistic and stylish. There are plenty of tables for working or just hanging out, a side room that provides some quite space, and a couple lounge chairs. There is not outside seating.
There is metered parking on the street with plenty of spots available. Always worth a visit!
This place is the heart of the neighborhood. The coffee is great and the casserole on Saturdays is the best. The staff is incredible. There was a line and they noticed me walk in. They handed me my daily cappuccino as I waited to pay.
Been here a few times this fall. Nice place to get focused work done for a few hours. Wi-Fi. Lighting is more on the dim side, kinda nice. Chill vibe. Try the quiche, coffee, bagels - it’s all good. Friendly crew. Quick service. Note: Best for solo work or 2 people. As of now only one table for a larger group (4-5).
This was a very inviting atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. The coffee was good. I also had a shortbread cookie which was also very good. I definitely recommend this place.
This is my favorite coffee shop in Charlotte. I’ve been coming here for about 8 years, regardless of all the new places springing up and the other options around town. This place has the perfect vibe: It’s a neighborhood joint with great coffee and chill staff and zero annoying coffee pretentiousness. Get a Central Shorty. It’s a small single shot latte with a hint of vanilla. Anna gets the 2019 Best Shorty Award according to me and verified by an independent 3rd party. FYI.
A really nice, clean, quiet place. Coffee is great, food is good. Friendly staff, quick service. Highly recommend!
One of Charlotte’s very best coffee shops & one of my personal all-time-favorites. I have eaten more slices of the incredible vegan zucchini bread than could ever be quantified! Nice atmosphere, incredibly kind staff and owners, and superb oat milk lattes!
Haven’t been here in a while. Comfortable, underground shop feel. Coming here during the times they bake scones is my favorite part. The chocolate chip scone is delicious. Latte on the tart, creamy side. Also serve quiche, cake, and other pastries.
Parking: small lot available.
When I travel, I look for places that I can’t find at home, I don’t want to go to the same Starbucks in every city I visit. This was a result of a Google Maps search and I have probably been there a half dozen times now. Good coffee and barista drinks, good snacks, good wifi and an interesting crowd in an interesting neighborhood. I will be back there when I’m back in Charlotte next week.
Very nice place. Great glorious morning muffins.
Super cute little place! The employees hand stamp the coffee sleeves and then the recycle them as well! They have a huge variety of flavors and vegan milks! My soy caramel macchiato was HEAVENLY!
Sweet little coffee shop! 75¢ to go mug fill up on drip is a great deal I’ll have to take them up on next time! Several vegan options, fantastic chalk art, and lots of flavor choices! Only thing I wish they had was a little light music :)
I come to Central Coffee Co every so often to treat myself and they always give great customer service and good coffee. I love how clean the place is and the prices are fair. Thank you Shay for the laugh this morning.
I ordered the chai latte with lavender syrup. It was good but the cup was half full (as shown in photo which I took as soon as I got in the car) I would have rather had a full drink instead of 6 oz of foam. I also called them about it. The guy who answered said thanks for letting him know. I might go back if they promise to make a full drink.
Update: The owner reached out to me to rectify the situation and I appreciate that more than anything. That's good customer service which is so hard to come by these days. I will be back. Thank you.
As a Cuban, born and raise and lived in Miami, I can said that, coffee here it’s good 👍
Quaint little place. Lots of people come here to study. Fireplace is perfect for cold days. They have many types of coffee to enjoy including drafted coldbrew and steeped fresh teas. Try their pastries!
I love this little coffee shop. It is a short pleasant walk from my daughters’ place when I am visiting her. Everyone is friendly that early in the morning. The coffee is delicious. I treat myself to a scone or muffin which is also delicious. It is clean and well organized. A very comfortable, inviting place to sit and have my first, and only, cup of coffee.
Came in before the Sunday rush... there is a nice lowkey environment. I got a lavender-vanilla latte with a spinach swiss quiche. The quiche was really good and very filling. The latte was strong but flavorful.
