Grab your morning latte and fund solutions to homelessness—this UK-born social enterprise trains and employs baristas locally. Covered by Axios Charlotte and The Charlotte Observer, it’s a meaningful, low-key stop for coffee and light breakfast items.
The day I went it was very quiet. They don’t have many food options, but I ordered a blueberry muffin and it was really good. I also had a chai latte, which was delicious, with just the right amount of spice. Good service.

Great atmosphere, kind baristas (came in for hot water one day to refill tea, returned soon after for coffee flavors), yummy and unique coffee/tea flavor combinations. Will definitely be going back.

Cold brew coffee and chai latte was just okay... Make sure you’re charged correctly- was shown my price and not the recipet with items on it - asked her to go back and was charged an extra latte. No big deal but something to watch out for.

We stopped by for a late morning coffee around 10:30 just looking to try somewhere new. Bernie made us feel right at home and we loved the mission of this place. The coffee isn’t as high end as NJC or Hex, but the prices are reasonable and the drinks are creative.

The staff are amazing and so incredibly friendly! The coffee is perfect and 100% of profits go to helping homeless people get a job and improve their way of life. Even if you don't drink coffee they have excellent tea available and the atmosphere is outstanding!

This coffee shop is a wonderful part of the Innovation Barn! I love grabbing a chai or specialty latte to work from home in the cafe or when I'm volunteering with The Bulb.

Not only a delicious cup of coffee on your way to work. This cafe feels like a warm hug. I felt energized inside and completely relaxed outside on the friendly patio with Adirondack chairs and fire rings. The cafe is a perfect addition to the inspirational community located at the Innovation Barn. Don’t forget to pick up a bag of coffee to brew and share at home!

Cute spot for coffee and a cause! They have nice indoor and outdoor spaces. Their profits go towards helping the homeless.
