Coco and the Director

Description: Stylish cafe for gourmet coffee, sandwiches & pastries in a chic space with lots of seating options.

Comments: The indoors is connected to a hotel which has additional seating if it’s crowded in the main area. Great vibes here. Plenty of remote workers huddled inside. It's a common recommendation among remote workers and students in Charlotte for good reason. The vibes. The vibes are A+.

They have cronuts, and sometimes cinnamon rolls 🔥. The only thing is, it's in Uptown, so you're paying for parking if you drive. Worth it though, at least once to check it out. The upstairs area above the stadium style seating has some excellent tucked away spots, great for feeling cozy, and outlet access is pretty good all throughout the store.

You can sit in the hotel as well if need be. It’s one of Charlotte’s best coffee shops in terms of space, vibes, aesthetic, and convenience for students and remote workers wanting to stay a while. They even have some bigger tables for groups, so your book club can hang here too.
