This is one of my favorite coffee shops I've ever been to!!!! What a cute, bright, welcoming space. Even the baskets and plates that the food is presented on is so aesthetic and tasteful. Food is very flavorful and absolutely worth it. Absolutely LOVED the beef wrap I got. So so yummy. Drinks are AMAZING. The sumaq coffee is so delicious. Staff is kind and cares about taking the time to make consistently nice food. Food and drinks brought out fast. Ambiance is very open, bright, and chill. Plenty of spaces to sit and do work.

I was not expecting this place to be so cute?!? I would go here more often if it weren't out of my way now that I've found it , but unfortunately it's on the opposite side of town from me. The distance and parking are my only con. I'm not too sure if that street is always busy, but the day I went , I came from the direction in which I have to turn in left to get in the parking lot and you have to wait for the traffic coming in the opposite direction to clear to be able to turn it. There isn't a designated turning lane so you have to be careful when you slow down as the cars behind you can easily slam into you . The parking lot doesn't really pop out until you're right on top of it because it is a little small. This isn't the businesses fault , just something as a heads up if you haven't been there. The ambiance is great, the customer service was exceptional and the food and latte I had were outstanding . They have outdoor and indoor seating. Some low chairs and some high tops . Again, I'll definitely be back but I'll have to plan as it's a little far for me.

These are probably some of the best sandwiches in the city. This is my second time coming and I'm super impressed. I haven't even had their coffee yet, but if the sandwiches are anything to go off of, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be good too. Ambiance is also great. I've had to take a work call here and was easily able to be heard by my team on the other line. I also have been coming here to work on code and it's just enough background noise to keep me focused. Cashiers are friendly as well. Can't say enough positive things about this place. P.S. - Go for the Wasi House if you're looking for something solid to fill you up.

Coffee Shop No.472 SUMAQ - Coffee Bakery Music Charlotte, NC March 9, 2025 My family and I were off to a late start. SUMAQ was out of the way. I told my husband to just get on the interstate we have a long way to drive. Thankfully he said, "Let's just go." SUMAQ was extremely busy on a Sunday morning. The three folks working the register and coffee station were absolute pros. They have a very efficient system; so if you walk in, see a long line, and think about leaving. DO NOT. The line moved quickly and we received our coffee quickly. The food took a bit longer, but it was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere was warm, bright, and inviting. This is definitely a great spot to meet family or friends to chat and eat good food. When I order a cortado the first thing I notice is the size of the cup it comes in. A cortado is a 1:1 ratio of espresso and steam milk; so when I was handed a petite coffee mug excitement and anticipation rose up in me. I quickly took a few photos then a sip of the cortado. The texture was not as velvety as I would have liked, but the flavor of the espresso was excellent. I immediately grabbed my husband's dirty chai to taste it. Delicious. Whatever coffee bean SUMAQ is using and the method they are using to brew is magical. SUMAQ was absolutely worth detour!

A pretty cute and cozy coffee shop but expect it to be busy! It was hard to find a place to sit on a Saturday so I decided to take my coffee elsewhere. I love the natural lighting and space! There's plenty of parking for such a popular cafe! The got Tres leches latte which was good but nothing to rave about.

This place is still one of my top three coffee shops in Charlotte. The menu still offers a lot of delicious food, desserts and coffee options. The vibe is amazing, the service is great and the location is perfect. My favorite drink is still the Dulce de Leche latte. 100% recommended.

Great experiences there. Bright and airy feel. Poppin' with people. My only complaint was it was cold in there which made it harder to work. Food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend

Sumaq has consistently delicious food and drink selections. Their coffee and matcha are equally good, but as far as food, the wasi house sandwich outranks everything else. The empanadas are also yummy. There's plenty of seating, and the atmosphere is bright and modern.

This place....they just make me so happy! This trip I tried the strawberry matcha at the recommendation of my super cool homegirl. She's raved about it for a while so I couldn't wait to try it and it did not disappoint. I think about this particular drink regularl lol. It was so soooooo good! The strawberry in the matcha was so refreshing and a nice flavor variation from the matcha which was also delicious! This drink was the star of the show for sure. I also ordered the chicken sandwish and was thoroughly impressed by how great it was. The bread was soft and the sandwich itself packed a huge flavor punch. Super pleasantly surprised!!! Eating the nutella muffin at home was the cherry on top though. It was actual eprfection and I didn't even heat it up! It was massive and so damn good. Truly. Can't wait to go back and probably order the same exact things lol.
