Coffee shops in Charlotte, NC
Every shop here is open and doing something right, so treat it like a coffee crawl through Charlotte, in person or virtually: study how each bar is laid out, read the menu, and get a feel for the brand from their own site and the photos customers tag. Shops that roast their own beans are marked.
Listings, ratings, and links come from Google Places and can change over time. This isn't a ranking; every shop is worth a look. The Google link opens each business's listing, where customers post their own photos.
