What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"Amazing lunch and atmosphere, while supporting an amazing mission! In town for a conference and needed lunch/ get a little work done so googled solid places to work from with food. The cafe is super cute, plenty of parking, and the food was amazing. I had the Johnny Cakes with pulled pork. The serving was huge - no side needed."

"The food, coffee, and people here are incredible! I met Will and his team and was blown away! Chef Shay and her crew made the most delicious food ever ! Sarah and Megan made sure everything was great for our shoot as well!"

"While in the Charlotte area, I looked up places to eat breakfast and I came across this restaurant since it had pretty good reviews. When first coming in honestly I didn't feel welcomed from the young lady at the desk. She just asked where would I like to sit at. She didn't specify or tell me that one side is like self serve and the other side you will have a server/waiter, that would have been nice to know especially since it was my first time but I learned that information from asking another staff member at the coffee side once I realized which side I chose, while waiting to be waited on since I wasn't given a menu or anything. While sitting and watching I did notice how some others that came in were greeted by the same young lady at the door which is why I couldn't give 5 stars. However, to the good part. I'll upload a picture of what I ordered but I can honestly say these were the best cheese grits I ever tasted so far, I could eat it by itself! My food was a 4 1/2 and thats only because the potatoes tasted funny (sorry I can't explain this better) other than that my tea was good, and the rest of my food was good. I just wished the service, feeling more welcomed, just some type of advice/explanation kinda just something for someone that is new to the restaurant which I was sure to mention for that reason when coming in. So, hopefully that is better next time because I have to go back again for those grits. Hopefully, I can edit this review and/or update with a better experience. Food is good Atmosphere good Service needs improvement"

"My wife and I had a great breakfast here. I had the crème brûlée French toast 😋. Definitely recommend. It would be a great dish to share. It was sweet. Overall the food, atmosphere, and staff were great! The best thing about this place is the help it provides to the recovering community is amazing. I wish I wasn’t terrible with names because our waitress was so awesome. She was very attentive and friendly we didn’t want for anything. Since it was our first time in she shared a little about her recovery and how this place helps with an easier transition back into the workforce."

"ANNE with Offline - A place to fill your belly and your heart. I think that this mission is not only heartwarming to help the community but they have not skimped on the flavor or creative license of the chefs! From the coziest, spiced chai to the savory peach toast! Sooooo amazing! Definitely try this out when you are in the area. No disappointments for us."
