From our beloved regulars
This place is nice coffee shop in Charlotte with a wine shop inside. So after you finish with your coffee you can then shop for a bottle of wine. The lavender vanilla latte was good but the lavender flavor was too subtle. But the the service was great and the space itself is really great. Very calm and refreshing atmosphere. The price was around $7.00. Inflation What can I say.
Quentin and Tamsen make the most incredible cappuccinos. The vibe at The Hobbyist is the best.
I’m definitely in my coffee shop phase, so finding The Hobbyist was a total win. I stopped by to meet up with a colleague and chat through some work, and the **atmosphere was so inviting** that we ended up staying well past our planned hour.
Hobbyist serves some of the best coffee in town, but what really makes it stand out is the atmosphere. Every time I walk in, there’s this cozy, welcoming vibe that makes it hard to leave. Whether you’re there to relax or get some work done, it’s the kind of place that feels great every time you visit.
Randomly found this place on a random google search for places to chill in Charlotte before a concert. This spot was everything and more. We came at evening time and we’re looking for an espresso martini and good coffee. Gosh we were blown away. Incredible service, perfectly curated music, friendly service and a dim/moody/cozy atmosphere. The Black Walnut Latte was everything I needed. We came back again the next afternoon and Ty was so kind! ✨
I’m slowly starting to love the hobbyist. They have unique lattes, great aesthetic’s, drinks, and very kind staff.
Vanilla Flat White and Cheddar Biscuit are a must - 5 stars all around!! Tons of indoor and outdoor seating and staff are great as well!
Our son visited over the weekend so we spent the day together in Charlotte. He recommended The Hobbiest & I quickly fell in love with the mix of church pews and spaces & their sofa & coffee table felt like home. I took many pics of the decor, to capture as much as possible.
Absolutely obsessed with this place. The vibe is perfect. Low-moderate lightning, with a nice mix of eclectic vintage and modern-industrial style.
We went there after a walk in nearby Cordelia Park and while we are digital nomads, we were the only ones not working at the coffee shop on this visit.
