Queen City Grounds - Charlotte

This is the best authentic cappuccino you’re going to find in Charlotte. A lot of the credit also goes to the barista who knows the proper milk to espresso ratio and milk foam consistency. It is also served in a ceramic mug as it should be. After a 1.5 year search this ranks at the top of my coffee shop list. BRAVO Price: $4.00

UPDATE: My experience here has changed and now I've rated Queen City Grounds a 5! I've recently gotten the Impossible burger and the chicken sand-which and both are amazing. I recommend the ranch on both. The service has been much better and the food comes out in a timely manner. The staff is very friendly. Definitely give this place a try! My experiences have been really bad. The first time I ordered a breakfast burrito, it took 45 minutes. They had given food to everyone else that ordered after me. I asked for a status update. Instead of telling me they lost my order or forgot, they just said they were still working on it. How? The second time I went, I ordered online, because I had a little puppy with me. I was working outside, since they had signs on their window saying they can’t allow dogs inside. When I ordered online I asked in the comments for them to bring it outside since I can’t come in. I waited 30 minutes, before realizing that they must not be bringing it outside. When I went in my order was sitting at the pick up window and they just ignored the note I wrote even though it was printed on the receipt. The sandwich was cold and soggy by the time I got it. Customer service is not their forte. I wanted to support their partnership with Summit Seltzer and new opening at night hours, but they need to work on customer service.

Coffee was great the front desk cashier was polite and chipper. The food I ordered was one thing online but different on the menu in the cafe. So I got the BLT but couldn't find any bacon on my first half of the sandwich but then I took it apart for the staff to show them I couldn't find Bacon. They showed me a tiny piece on the other half only and didn't seem to want to make another. If you're working on a menu and the first ingredient is bacon, you might expect to have a visible portion on the sandwich. Side note the online menu said on toast but the menu here was on a veggie wrap. Last part of my rant the item said thick cut bacon, the piece we found on one half was the same you see at Subway that's thin and small. I'll try again some other time, the menu looks great and has a lot of appealing options. The building is beautiful and they have a great decor. Thanks for the coffee y'all it was wonderful.

Such a cute coffee shop! We were visiting Charlotte for the weekend and we're so happy we stopped in Queens City Grounds to start our day. Two stories with lots of seating options to work or study. Their staff was friendly and fast. The cold brew was great and I also enjoyed a delicious breakfast bagel sandwich. Their Pay It Forward wall was such an amazing concept to foster kindness

The coffee and breakfast sandwich were delicious. I loved the atmosphere. I really enjoyed the lay it forward wall. Such a great way to bring the community together. It’s also in a really cute park of town with historical homes.
