15 Best Charlotte, North Carolina, Coffee Shops | Eater Carolinas
"A couple blocks down Brevard near the Spectrum Center is Provided, an unassuming coffee shop, not even a year old in this first brick-and-mortar location. The aesthetic is vintage-antique-grandma’s-cabin-in-Kentucky, despite being run by two Gen-Z best friends. Provided combines Greenville’s Methodical Coffee beans with handcrafted syrups to create exquisite, complex flavors, like this season’s carrot cake latte or cappuccino. The steamed milk, with an artful design, glistens on top, as it should. The combination of masterful espresso dialing and a cozy-cabin aesthetic attracts an eclectic crowd of passersby — parents of nearby elementary schools, artsy freelancers, UNCC students at the uptown campus, and finance folks on a lunch break. Do note that there isn’t much seating here, except a couch inside, and a scattering of small tables in the parking lot. So if not for the seating, go for the coffee." - Kayleigh Ruller
