Mugs

15 Best Charlotte, North Carolina, Coffee Shops | Eater Carolinas

"South Park is generally a boujee, upscale neighborhood, so to really shake things up, try the non-trendy, divey oasis that is Mugs Coffee off of Park Road. Mugs has been rocking its quirky style, board games, funky local art, and Instagram-less vibe since 2011 (a long time for the Charlotte coffee scene). Book clubs, writing workshops, and community meet-ups happen on the couches and tables of this coffee shop. The coffee and tea aren’t polished craftsmanship, but they do hit the spot and taste like they were made by someone who cares about you, before or after a long day of work. It’s a sweet spot to just get a reliable Magnolia drip coffee and a quick bagel, to work and write, and to be away from the hustle and bustle." - Kayleigh Ruller
