Reviews for Undercurrent Coffee in Charlotte, NC
I loved it!! Their lavender honey sodas are absolutely epic and they let my friends and I keep watching them even though we... weren?t ordering anything. The guys there were super helpful too. Definitely coming back one day ? Read more
The people of Undercurrent Coffee are just awesome! My husband is a big fan! He also loves their Plaza Midwood location. This... spot in Optimist Hall is a must! Great service with a smile! Read more
Fantastic coffee with interesting seasonal flavors. The Cinnamon Bun latte is delicious. Always love grabbing something here... after eating at one of the many great food vendors. Read more
So glad undercurrent is at optimist hall as it's the only vender open and serving prior to 10/11. Got a few drinks (cold brew... with oat milk, dirty chia with oat milk, golden milk latte) and each were good. Service was quick. Read more
I ordered Ice Vanila Latte with half of almond & oat milk. The taste reminds me Not Just Coffee Shop. Anyway it was pretty good... :) Read more
Very cool place. Located inside a refurbished older large building that now consists of food stands, restaurants, and shops... called Optimist Park. Barista was so sweet and awesome. I got a brown sugar vanilla cappuccino. I'm a former barista and cansay she made the drink PERFECT. Was so yummy! Not overly sweet, perfect foam and even had latte art on top. My only con herewas the lack of size options. There wasn't one for this drink. The cup was maybe 10oz? I also went back, as I had been sittingoutside, to get another 10 mins before closing. There was someone washing dishes you could see in the back, but no one helped meand the register area looked shut down. Other than that, loved my experience and will be back. Read more
Order: Drip Coffee, Cappuccino Price: $8 Positives: Good cappuccino, awesome space, can?t want to see once it?s all... open Negatives: No pour over, a tad weak tldr: I?m super excited for this space in general. I love the whole ?market? feel and Ireally think Undercurrent is going to bring a lot to the space. I will say that all the coffee had good flavor but tasted just alittle weak for my preferences. Thoughts: Even though we were only in Charlotte for a few days we went to a few differentcafes. This is sort of a thing for us, we will often go to several coffee shops a day for up to five days before finallysettling on our ?regular?. We are aware we have a problem. Anyway something that I was beginning to notice is that very fewplaces do poor overs. They just have a drip coffee and then espresso drinks. That?s super weird and jarring for me because mostcoffee places I like have pour overs, and it?s both one of my favorite ways to have my coffee made, and one of the mostconsistent ways to see if a coffee shop has high quality beans and a good brewing process. So the fact that none of these coffeeshops could do a pour over kind of threw me. Regardless, we got a drip coffee instead, and a cappuccino. Both of them wereactually very good. I was honestly surprised at how good the drip coffee, was which is a testament to the quality of theircoffee beans. Normally I don?t like drip coffee because it sits in an insulated container and gets so hot that it taste burnt.In this case it didn?t taste burnt at all, it still had depth and complexity of flavor. The cappuccino was very flavorful andrich. That being said, I do think that both of the drinks were on the weaker side for my taste but not as extreme as some otherplaces I?ve been. Undercurrent also has a unique scenario going on because they are in a market. The entire place is super cooland when it?s done, seems to be ready to be filled with places to hang out, a few small unique shops, and a bunch of restaur Read more
Could have been hotter, but good. Next time I would opt for the 12 ounce.
