Joe's Charlotte Guidebook
Breakfast & Coffee
Excellent coffee. One of our favorite go-to locations when we want something more than we make at home...although what we make at home is usually their beans too.

Great spot for specialty coffee, beer, and wine. Their food menu, though small, has some excellent options. Grab a seat and just enjoy the atmosphere.

In our opinion, Easy Like Sunday has the best breakfast in all of Charlotte...and we’ve tried a lot. You can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. Every time we go we try something new and we continue to be blown away. Most importantly, get the cheese grits.

Benny’s serves up oversized slices of pizza that are surprisingly good. Grab a slice and a PBR, you won’t regret it. (You can also find their newest, and equally as good, location in South End called Benny Ferrovia’s).

Transportation tips
Public transit isn’t super strong here. The light rail is nice, but you’ll need to drive or take an Uber/Lyft/taxi to get to a station. Once you’re on the rail, getting to NoDa, Uptown, or SouthEnd is pretty easy.
