Night Swim Coffee | Queensbridge

Description: A specialty coffee shop inside the Queensbridge Collective development, serving espresso drinks, drip coffee, seasonal lattes, teas, pastries, breads, loaves, and café food from a Charlotte coffee group known for thoughtful sourcing and made-from-scratch ingredients. The space is designed as a polished South End gathering spot with a modern café feel, built for coffee runs, casual meetings, remote work, relaxed conversation, and visits before or after time around nearby apartments, offices, restaurants, and entertainment.

Comments: Very small. The coffee shop has a corner with some inside seating consisting of hard wooden chairs, and then some outdoor seating, but it's not a ton. It's very bright though. The corner it's in has very tall windows, so certainly a good place if you're trying to stay awake and energetic. Access to outlets is challenging. Wi-Fi is free and fast though. Parking is in a paid garage, but they'll validate it up to a certain time limit.

And just as a matter of educating the Charlotte community, Night Swim as a brand exists as a collaboration between Not Just Coffee and Undercurrent Coffee. So, it's like both of the teams from those coffee shops put together. I've found Night Swim tends to have better bagels with more generous cream cheese servings than either coffee shop brand on its own. I don't know if that matters to you, but now you know.
