Curator's Comments: This is attached to a newer (as of 2025) apartment complex called Elan LoSo. It's giving "posh, elegant, modern". But say all those words in a French accent. A mix of crisp whites, natural greens with plants here and there, and gold accents on the light fixtures. Bravo to the interior designer of this place. The aesthetic is lovely. The upstairs area is part of the coffee shop, and it's a gem. It's small, only 3 seating options, but they've adorned the overhang with plants, there's a restroom, it's carpeted, and 2 of the 3 seating options have outlet access. The coziest of cozy nooks. If you can get an upstairs spot, good for you. Downstairs is nice as well, a few two-person tables, couches, and coffee bar seating with outlets. Parking is tight, it's around the corner in a garage, paid and 2-hour limited. But there's a few street spots (you'll have to parallel park) that are free and not time limited. They're usually taken by apartment residents though. Overall, a lovely coffee shop, just got to time your visit well. There's another Night Swim around the corner on Old Pineville Road that's bigger, so if you can't find a spot (or parking) here, mosey on over there.
