Randomly found this place on a random google search for places to chill in Charlotte before a concert. This spot was everything and more. We came at evening time and we’re looking for an espresso martini and good coffee. Gosh we were blown away. Incredible service, perfectly curated music, friendly service and a dim/moody/cozy atmosphere. The Black Walnut Latte was everything I needed. We came back again the next afternoon and Ty was so kind! ✨

They stay so busy! I went on a Friday afternoon and the place was packed. That’s definitely an amazing thing. They had a great selection of coffee options and wine/beer. I enjoyed their seasonal Black Walnut Latte and it was really tasty.

Love the idea of a coffee bar that also doubles as a chill spot with draft beers! The Hobbyist also had cooled beer that can buy to drink there or make four packs to go. Did I mention wine that they can uncork for you? It has couches and tables, as well as an actual bar. You can stay as little as long as you'd like. The coffee was delicious, and I loved all the drinking options! Will def be returning.

Nice spot to meet up with a friend for coffee. I was there on a Saturday morning. A lot of seating available. I also bought some beer and wine to go. I had the cold brew and it was good. Overall a cute spot!

Nice place but takes forever to get a latte made. I would have ordered drip coffee if I thought I'd have to wait 15 minutes for a latte. The food was good and the ambiance was nice but not worth the wait if you're in a rush.

I love places that serve coffee and beer at the same time like this place. I just went in to buy a few cans of beer. It’s very clean and quiet even though there was a lot of people there on their laptops. It seems like it would be a great place for that. The canned/bottled beer selection is pretty good and the prices are fair, $7 for a Burial. I’ll be back.

This is one of the best places in Charlotte to grab a coffee or drink! Morning or night the staff is knowledgeable and so friendly! They also have a great selection of varying pastries if you need a snack! 10/10 would recommend.

Had a latte and flat white. Large and spread out space with lots of seating, love the decor/vibe. Coffee was pretty good but 2 criticisms would be milk was a tad overheated and espresso a little harsh. It did mellow out eventually and finish nicely. Overall nice shop but for me plaza midwood undercurrent is still reigning champ.

This place was absolutely amazing. We were traveling and stopping through but are big coffee shop people. We loved everything from the ambience, the view, and the staff. What a great experience as we were in Charlotte for only a couple days. Will be coming back if we’re in town again

You gotta know the good cafe from the first step by the great smell of coffee. And that’s what you can experience at the Hobbyist. The coffee is absolutely good! real taste of espresso if you’re looking for. However it was a bit time taking precess for two cups of cappuccino in not a very busy day. The location is kinda in a remote area.

WOW!! I ordered the Iced Black Walnut Latte with half of oatmilk & almond milk. It was very unique and delicious. This place is definitely a good place to work and study. Surrounding music isn't too loud and here has very calm vive. It reminds me of SF. The interior was nice as well. Everything was good. It took almost 40 minutes from my home. But I am glad that I moved forward to visit here :)

Great coffee! The cronut we had was to die for. The chill vibes of this place make me wish I had a reason to stay and hang out with my laptop to study/work. Alas I'm not that cool... so I just sit with my coffee and pretend to look productive.

I stopped in here this morning and ordered a creme brulee latte with a raspberry cream cheese danish. Before we get into the coffee and danish, let me say that I was really digging the design and vibe of this place. They managed to accomplish a more classy and intimate setting, but at the same time it was also laid back and easy going. I found this to be a unique combination of atmospheres for a coffee shop. Although, they do have wine and a good whiskey selection so that may be why there is an overlap in the settings that I was experiencing. I also appreciated the no laptops on the weekends concept that they have implemented. Even though I didn't find myself chatting with any locals, which is what they stated the goal of this concept is, I think it's a great idea! I find that we too often bury ourselves into technology and forget to experience the things around us. It's a step in the right direction, and a good way to increase the interactions among others. Now, back to the coffee and danish. The creme brulee latte was spot on and the danish was exactly what I needed to get my morning started. I liked the location of this place, and I definitely see The Hobbyist being one of my go to coffee shops!

Outgoing baristas. The atmosphere has a great vibe. Excellent hours of operation. The assistant manager is extremely friendly. I will be back to visit with him and grab another delicious iced mocha in the near future. ☕️

Amazing little coffee, bar, dessert …..we absolutely loved it and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy sneak away place to grab a drink or a bite. They even had live music…The Rusty Bucket was playing and they were jamming. Loved it. A+ Clean friendly and fun.

I really enjoyed the Matcha latte. The Cappucino is also excellent. The service was good and they accommodated all our needs for the drinks. The cinnamon roll was very good albeit too sweet for our liking. it complements the coffee very well. If you have a sweet tooth, go for it.

What a cool place! Stopped by before brunch for some coffee. We ordered a drip coffee and the honey bee flat white (hot, oat milk). The music inside was very loud, lots of punk rock tunes. It made for an interesting vibe, but I have no complaints. I want to go back to try their pastries or their bottles of beers/wines. They got pretty busy but the staff was friendly! Lots of seating options available, parking spots in the back too. It’s so cool that they have plants and other little merchandise items for sale. Definitely want to return next time I’m in Charlotte.

This place is next door from a business I frequent and today I finally decided to stop in. I tried the Iced Marigold Mocha (I think that’s what it was called). I loved it. This is a cute place and I will definitely be stopping in after my sessions and it looks like a cozy place that I can work from. Staff was friendly. The place was clean and beautiful.
