Not Just Coffee - Dilworth
2230 Park Rd, Charlotte, NC
Crema's Take
“Nestled in the heart of Dilworth, this espresso-focused spot wins hearts with homemade syrups that elevate every cup—the rosemary toffee latte is genuinely memorable—and a genuinely knowledgeable crew who actually want to talk coffee with you. Beyond the excellent espresso drinks and thoughtful matcha offerings, their breakfast hits different: think crispy bacon-topped avocado toast and Greek yogurt parfaits with homemade granola that justify a sit-down visit. It's the kind of place where baristas remember you're particular about your order and the chill vibe makes lingering over a second coffee feel exactly right.”

I’m a regular of NJC and usually go to the one on Providence Rd but every time I go to the one on Park Rd the staff is always so rude and either says absolutely nothing to you or talks to you like you ruined their day 😂 it’s so strange. Coffee is great but be prepared to walk on eggshells with the staff at Park Rd.
*if you prefer floppy bacon, ignore my review.* For the people who like crispy bacon- this is your spot. Avocado toast ADD BACON. I promise, you won’t regret it.
a little gem located in Dilworth. the coffee is strong and the atmosphere is chill. every barista I've ever encountered is very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. my favorite part about the shop is the live plants - also, on nice weather days, they open a large roll up door making for an awesome patio experience. in the cooler months, the outdoor patio has heaters on the ceiling which is a nice touch.
Homemade Syrups, check! I’ve tried their rosemary toffee, fall spice, and gingerbread rum lattes. The rosemary toffee was the standout, smooth and perfectly balanced. The fall spice and gingerbread rum were both fun and seasonal, but that rosemary toffee is the one I’d come back for. We also had both kinds of avocado toast. No clear favorite because they were both excellent — fresh bread, ripe avocado, great toppings, and just the right mix of flavors. The greens and pickled onions added a nice kick. The vibe here is relaxed with friendly service, and the coffee and food are done with care. Definitely worth a visit if you want something a step above your average café. Only suggestion, service could be faster. 10-15 minutes for a coffee at 11:00am?
I absolutely love this place both for their food and drinks. Their yogurt parfait is FANTASTIC, with whole Greek yogurt, homemade granola, and fruits. Their ginger chai is stellar, as is the regular chai and matcha latte (all with oat milk for me). I frequent this place since it’s always so good!! For this location, there isn’t a ton of seating so be aware of that; you may not get a spot during the busier hours
