Community Matters Cafe

I've been a handful of times with colleagues for lunch because the food and service is always amazing. Love their creative salads each season!

I didn't realize how close I was to this hidden gem! I will be going back. Got the vanilla chai latte and it was delicious, I was pleasantly surprised. It was hot and quickly made! I believe half the place is a restaurant (brunch spot) and the other half is a casual, work from home-esk, coffee shop. Will be trying the food next time I go!

Community Matters is one of my favorite coffee shop stops in Charlotte. They have both take away and a full service restaurant and are always buzzing with customers. I usually get a seasonal latte or vanilla latte which is always delicious. Today I tried the breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage and it was also great! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and a great place to enjoy breakfast or work for the day. They also are an extension of the Charlotte Rescue Mission which helps people struggling with addiction in our community. Will always come here when I can!

So I might have had high expectations for this place, not sure, but it was not all that it was made out to be. Service was just ok, started out good but after we got our food no one checked on us. I needed ketchup and hot sauce, but I didn't see our waiter again until we were ready to leave. Food was not good anyhow, my bread was burnt and overall came out cold. I got the BLT and it was probably one of the worst I've ever had (not sure how you can mess that up). And the Brussel sprouts side was just ok, couldn't finish it. Lastly, I tried a frozen frappe and it was not good either. THE ONLY THING I really liked about this spot is their mission (my 2 stars was for that). Probably won't be visiting again for any food or drinks though.

We frequently hear about the magic that can happen when passion & purpose collide, yet Community Matters Cafe shows it to us through their service & food. Guided by a mission of supporting graduates of Charlotte Rescue Mission's recovery & life skills programming, Community Matters Cafe delivers excellent service, within a warm environment--complete with very Instagram photo-worthy murals of inspirational quotes--and top-notch food. They've got a rotational menu that delivers through all seasons; my standard go-to dishes are the Kale Caesar & Brussels Sprouts. Check them out & support their mission today!

I love this place. Period!Community Matters Cafe is more than a place to dine, it's a life skills program for individuals who deserve a second chance in life. The service is great, the entire place is clean and the ambiance is welcoming and professional. Side note, I have come here several times, and I have seen quite a few local celebrities and top corporate individuals.There is a coffee shop on the side with a diverse and delicious options of coffee drinks.While this wonderful place does not offer quite the culinary experience, the menu does offer a few delicious options for your typical American food. I still give them 5 stars.This is a standalone building located in uptown Charlotte with a beautiful view of Bank of America stadium. It's a great set up for a nice photo. There is plenty of free parking in its own lot.Overall, 100% recommended!

The food was absolutely amazing, the coffee was delicious and service was great! Will be coming back! 10/10! The price was good as well! Absolutely loved the way the cafe looks and feels. Super open space and enough seats for everyone!

My first time at Community Matter. The food was delicious, our waitress and all the staff was awesome, and the manager made you feel like you were visiting his home. We stayed a long while and he assured us no worries. The atmosphere was great and nice and spacious inside and it appeared to have lots of seating outside when it gets warmer. Will definitely be going back again very soon!

The place its self is really nice inside, the staff was nice, a little odd but nice. We went for breakfast and the food was awful. It looked and sounded like it would be good. It was the w most bland, flavorless thing I've eaten. I had the egg sandwhich with home fries. The potatoes tasted like dirty fried potatoes. There want an ounce of seasoning on anything. The coffee is mid. I had a chai latte it was so weak. Don't recommend this place for breakfast

Super cute cafe with great servers and even better food. Coffee selection was fun and it was all very delicious, also so nice to know that the workers here are paid a real wage and the mission of the cafe is for a great cause, will be back MANY more times!!
