Not Just Coffee

We decided to visit some place in Charlotte. Before we visited SOCO Gallery, we thought to stop and get coffee at Not Just Coffee. To our surprise, they are together in one building space. My daughter ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and I ordered a hot mocha latte with oat milk. They were delicious! Ethan took great care of us! He was so sweet, friendly and helpful! We really enjoyed talking with him! If and when we visit Charlotte again, we will definitely stop here again!

My husband doesn’t get excited about anything. But every drink of his macchiato so far he’s said “this is LIFE CHANGING” or “I’m gonna chase this high till I die now.” But seriously, skip the Starbucks. This coffee is AMAZING. The shop is so cute too! Art, books, clothing, everything. It’s more than coffee, but they totally get the coffee right!!

As a chef, I always look for a perfectly balanced cappuccino, just like I like my wine-- not too acidic, not bitter, but rounded and nutty, full of depth-- and when it can be done with almond milk (since I'm sadly dairy intolorant), a coffee shop knows what they're doing. Not Just Coffee does it perfectly The ambiance inside is delightful, but the outdoor "hidden nook" surrounded by vines is my favorite.

I’m not a coffee drinker so I can’t speak on how good theirs is, however I did have their teas and was very pleased. This location is very serene. I enjoyed looking at their collections of books while my tea was brewing. My interaction with the lady at the register was also pleasant. Will return.

I had an amazing experience at this coffee shop on my first visit, and I’m definitely coming back! The barista was incredibly sweet, making the atmosphere even more warm and welcoming. The space itself is calm and friendly, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. I especially loved the opportunity to appreciate the art inside and enjoy nature while sitting on the patio—such a great spot, especially now that the weather is warming up. I ordered a caramel latte, and it was absolutely delicious! I went to study, and it was the perfect setting.

This is a unique coffee shop. Not Just Coffee is hands down the best and most consistent coffee shop in Charlotte. Their baristas are friendly and know their stuff. This particular location is quieter than most. I asked El, the barista to make me a swan and she nailed it

I popped in to Not Just Coffee for a quick cortado (which was delicious hence why I started drinking it before I remembered to take a photo), and discovered that they not only have great coffee, but a beautiful art gallery as well as a men's clothing store that carried some handsome clothing articles on a pretty big discount (70% off). I felt very welcome, and the ambiance was lovely. I will be back!
