Cathy's Coffee
606 Indian Trail Road South, Matthews, NC
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Matthews, this espresso-focused cafe has won over regulars with a owner who genuinely remembers customers and their orders—a rare touch of personal care that extends to their thoughtfully crafted drinks. The team excels at listening to what you actually want in a cup, going the extra mile to nail custom requests, though consistency can be hit-or-miss on busier days. It's the kind of quiet, welcoming spot where you can settle in with a London Fog or carefully pulled cappuccino and actually feel like someone cares you're there.”

I don’t even drink hot coffee… I described how I wanted it to taste and they EXCEEDED my expectations! The energy was customer service was on point! My new favorite coffee spot!
As a small business owner myself it pains me to see how bad a cup of coffee can be. Ordered two iced mochas and we ended up throwing them in the garbage after 2 sips each. All the chocolate was sitting in the bottom of the cup so not mixed properly. Just did not taste like a mocha should taste. The atmosphere was not inviting. Tables stacked on top of each other does not make a person feel welcome. No music at all. Extension cords everywhere making the place look hastily put together. Again not very inviting. Pastry selection was not good. Display case was very scarce so did not want to eat anything from here. Gentleman was nice and didn't do anything wrong from that standpoint but also did not make us want to stay to enjoy the place. We left with our drinks and proceeded to go to another place around the corner and had a much better experience there. Not sure if something happened today or what but definitely will not return.
I just randomly stopped in because I was doing something in the neighborhood and had been recommended by someone in passing and I will never go back. I ordered an iced toffee latte sweetened and I got an Iced Americano with no flavoring at all. The gentleman who made my order was nice but he clearly has no business making drinks because even after I specified what I ordered he looked at me confused. An iced latte comes with milk? A latte is a latte because it’s made with milk and yet I got an iced americano with nothing in it for $7.10. I just left instead of having to tell him how to make my drink because that’s just a waste of time when I’m sure the second drink would’ve been just as bad.
My all time favorite coffee spot. First and foremost the owner is a delight. She remembers her customers and their orders. She always has a smile. Now the coffee is delicious...I get a london fog and my hubby a vanilla latte and they are the best ...so creamy and full of flavor. You have to go....you won't regret it!!!!
This quiet cafe is a gem in the rough. I ordered a cappuccino and cinnamon muffin which came to about $12 with a modest tip. I'd expect to pay around $14 at the most for coffee for two. Orders are done on the front counter (no kiosk), seating is plentiful and there's even a digital fireplace for a toasty get together! This quiet cafe feels like home though home also has a cortado on the menu;) (if I had to nitpick). P.S. The owner is really genuine and makes you feel like family rather than a customer.
