Vibe Cafe & Wine Bar

Description: Vibe Café & Bar brings a unique experience to the Dilworth Neighborhood of Charlotte, NC. Not only is it a place where you can drop by for your morning cup of coffee and breakfast, but also where you can enjoy an original, soul food inspired menu with our European Cocktails, unlike you have ever tasted before.

Comments: Relaxing wine bar vibes in terms of the aesthetic. Soft lighting, wood tones, touches of greenery (fake plants count) here and there. Lots of Russian inspired desserts that I've never heard of but all sound good, if not interesting. They have something called a chocolate sausage. It's not what you think. I mean, I didn't order it, but I at least asked. It's a sweet treat pastry is all I'll say, no sausage involved.

Good amount of seating, most of it indoors but there's some comfy lounge chair couches outside as well. Decent access to outlets, I counted 5 spots you could sit and access one, not bad at all for a place this size. Free Wi-Fi, and it's plenty fast, so you can plop down here to work or study. There's a very popular Starbucks across the street known for being busy, whereas things are usually pretty calm here. In that sense, it's a hidden gem.

The sink in the men's bathroom is very interesting. I had to look this up, but it's called a "cantilevered glass vanity", which to normal people is a "floating glass sink". Never seen anything like it, but I mean, I don't come from wealth. Oh, and they also have nice teacups. The handle has this curvature thing to it that wraps into the cup interior, very nice.

Last note, the parking garage has a sign that says 2-hour parking only, but I talked to the staff and apparently that's not enforced at all. You can stay longer and relax. But I mean, if you do get towed, definitely contact me so I can update this comment (and sorry, that's rough buddy).
