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

"Owner Cheryse Terry has built a space that transcends coffee and celebrates Black culture. Archive does this by way of creating a community gathering space with decades of vintage Black-owned magazines and newspapers, Toni Morrison totes, Maya Angelou books, and art collections highlighting Black history, all tightly situated along the walls and shelves. Enjoy a pared-down coffee menu with a few signature flavors — vanilla, caramel, and savory brown butter — and layered tea blends. This cafe and shop attracts a loyal crowd from surrounding Washington and Lincoln Heights, and nearby Johnson C. Smith University and Northwest School of the Arts. Alongside the coffee, the aux, the Pac-Man machine, and endless ephemera to explore are all compelling reasons to check out this spot." - Kayleigh Ruller

Love this place! It’s got such a cool, nostalgic vibe. I had the Foxy Brown oat milk latte which was so smooth and flavorful, and my daughter had the mango smoothie which was amazing with a bold, fresh mango taste. We split a slice of locally sourced lemon cake that was perfectly tangy and delicious. The decor is fun and full of history, and my daughter got a kick out of the vintage phones on the tables. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!

Vibes are unmatched, feels like home. Super cozy, amazing staff, amazing feel of the place. It’s like traveling back in time in Black America. Great spot to meet and have coffee, get some work done, or just take it all in. Wouldn’t recommend for huge parties, but a friend group of 2-3 would fit comfortably in most spaces.

Very cute place!!! We came in the morning of my birthday and the gal working the front totally just made my day. She was so kind and gave us some great recommendations as we were just visiting the area for the weekend. Also made me one of the best lattes I’ve ever had! You can tell she invests a lot of time into her business and the decor is adorable. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area 😊 Can’t wait to come back!!

Fresh off the plane, I headed over to Archive. I was met with extremely friendly staff who were welcoming and fun to talk to. I highly recommend coming here to support this coffee shop. The owner is an incredible person who seems to know everything about Charlotte. I was advised to order the foxy brown, and it was just what I needed. It was very tasty and gave me the boost of energy needed to go through the day. I got to capture photos of the charming inside, and you can see so much personality through the shop. It has history and hints of humor here and there.

This is the best coffee shop I’ve been to! I loved everything about it. From the decor to amazing drinks! I could sit in here for hours and not be bored. Perfect for a coffee date, or to catch up on some emails!

Oh my goodness such a great find. I had the NikkiGingervanni iced Latte and it was perfection. The ambiance of this cafe was so soothing and nostalgic. When I walked in the door I just wanted to sit down and sip on my drink and bask in the space. Great co-working and meeting space.

I had the pleasure of visiting this business on Saturday February 22,2205 around 11am and it was great! The vibe was set to match with the atmosphere. I walked in not sure which line to go to , but it didn’t take long to find out. Apparently the other line was for the one’s getting muffins or sandwiches. The lady that took my order was so sweet. I didn’t see the owner whom I was hoping today hello and job well done! It was my first time there but I don’t think it’s going to be my last. See you soon Archive CLT

I went to this business for the first time and had a great experience! The atmosphere is laid back/chill sort of vibe. It has the right balance of quiet and background noise that allowed me to get more work done in a couple of hours than I’ve gotten done in the last week. I really enjoyed my hibiscus refresher drink - a tad sweet for me, but I just added a little water to get it more to my personal liking. Overall, I had really enjoy this community gem!
