Eighty Eights Coffee & Cocktails

4237 Raleigh St, Charlotte, NC

Crema's Take

This intimate Charlotte spot brilliantly blends specialty coffee culture with cocktail bar energy, anchored by an impressively crafted matcha program that regulars genuinely rave about—Sofia's lemon white chocolate oatmilk matcha seems to be the stuff of legend. The real draw is the atmosphere: live jazz, creative signature drinks, and a cozy vibe that somehow manages to be both perfect for lingering conversation and focused laptop work, all without a cover charge. Fair warning though—it's small and beloved, so you might find yourself waiting for a seat during peak hours, and if you're hungry beyond caffeine and cocktails, you'll need to plan accordingly.

I love the vibe of Eighty Eight's. Very intimate and appealing. My only "complaint" is that they don't serve food/appetizers. Other than that it's a really nice place!

This place was a VIBE💃🏿 The Jazz was good and the drinks, I had a spicy margaritas, and it was delicious 😋 MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE SIZE OF THE VENUE, they need a Bigger place.

Amazing concept with an amazing vibe! Hands down, the best Matcha that I’ve experienced. Sofia is amazing and recommended the lemon white chocolate oatmilk matcha. I was impressed!!! We do plan to frequent here and look forward to our next visit.

I checked out Eighty Eights for the first time today and it was great! There was plenty of seating, lots of natural light, and a really spacious setup. It was perfect for getting some work done. The Wi-Fi was fast, latte was excellent, and the jazzy background music made for a relaxed vibe. Right now they just have pastries available, but the barista mentioned a full kitchen is in the works, which I’m excited to see. It’s a hidden gem if you’re looking for a quiet coffee shop with reliable Wi-Fi. Plenty of parking and a cute outdoor garden area too. Most reviews mention the live jazz and cocktails in the evenings (which I’m excited to come back and check out), but it’s also a great daytime spot for coffee and work.

CALLING ALL JAZZ LOVERS!! Charlotte has welcomed this amazing new cocktail jazz lounge and let me tell you, it’s a whole vibe! Best of all….NO cover charge! the service was great, drinks tasty and music amazing! They open at 5 for the 21+ crowd for cocktails, and live band starts at 8. They will eventually have coffee shop items during the day. I highly recommend getting there early to find a seat because the place is small and intimate. There is free parking but the lot and streets can fill up quick. I’m so glad Charlotte now has a chill lounge to relax in without being limited to a ticketed show that only last for abt an hr and half like other jazz venues.
