Summit Coffee
416 E 36th St, Charlotte, NC
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Charlotte's vibrant arts district, Summit Coffee earns its reputation with thoughtfully crafted drinks that go beyond the basics—think maple-sweetened matcha lattes and seasonal creations like their fall latte with orange notes—backed by genuinely knowledgeable baristas and excellent pastries. The welcoming open space with outdoor seating makes it equally suited for a leisurely solo sit-down or meeting up with friends, though arrive early or expect a lively crowd, especially mid-morning.”

Nice place in an artsy and active neighborhood. Friendly baristas. A solid hot matcha latte with maple syrup. Got here right at 10am, there were a few of us but within 10 minutes a line started packing up. Check out their fall menu!
I stopped into Summit Coffee expecting a good cup of caffeine, not a math exam. Imagine my shock when I bought a $5 coffee and the payment screen automatically prompted me to leave a 30% tip…. A 30% default tip suggestion is outrageous and leaves a bad taste before I even sip my drink. If you want customers to feel generous, start by being reasonable.
We were in town for a conference and tried this lovely coffee shop on the way to the airport. They have some seriously delicious coffee and baked goods. I tried oat milk latte, and my friends got regular latte and decaf cappuccino. I really loved that they give you glasses to fill up your water, not cheap plastic cups. Inside is nicely decorated and you feel like you are entering into an oasis. They also have some outdoor seating which we enjoyed. I will go back next time I am in town.
Went for a t-shirt my son asked me to pick up for him. Decided to try their fall latte. It was delicious! Just the right amount of fall spice paired with a hint of orange. Definitely going back before it’s gone!
Very lovely coffee shop. Great, great coffee, atmosphere, and service. I love the matching color scheme, the open space, and outside area. Definitely a cute spot for good coffee, pastries, and even a reading spot. So glad we stopped by!
