Great idea for a restaurant that should be fully supported by the community, with decent food and nice atmosphere, but with slow service during busy lunch times (that can be excused as most of the staff are from the rescue mission). I had the New Orleans chicken sandwich with a side of home fries. The sandwich was huge, but was not sauced as expected, since the order was mixed up and they had put the sauce on the side. The staff is being trained so we know going in that service may be slow. Other orders like the French toast were delicious. I will be back to support this restaurant with their hopeful message.

The food and drinks were high quality, flavorful, and definitely made with love! Their menu changes so that it’s always seasonal and fresh. Very affordable for such high-end dishes. Amazing environment, a great mission, and excellent service

Awesome breakfast! The place is a little loud when it gets busy and service a little slow but we were in no rush and really enjoyed eating here.

Beautiful neighborhood cafe with a purpose❤️. The employees are warm and the place is so welcoming...I love the decor....there are lots of tables and chairs to sit and work and plenty of parking spots. I have tried their chai lattes and their muffins and they are amazing and served warm in the mornings. It is a very popular spot and it's nice to see it busy even at 7:30am. Definitely try it out.

Great food, amazing staff, large and comfortable space. I loved the prosperi-Tea . It’s their take on a medicine ball but it’s so much better. Great cafe to come and hang out or have a small meeting. Large (free) parking lot. Can’t wait to come back when it’s a little warmer and take advantage of the outdoor patio seating.

One of the best coffee shops in town and one of the best ways to help folks who are getting their life back together and learning work skills and be a part of once again as they are restored to sanity and back to a part of life once again. The Honey bee latte is incredible, and the food is tasty—an excellent opportunity for everyone to participate. There is even an event space that can comfortably fit about thirty folks for a meeting or seminar. William is the manager and is very knowledgeable and helpful on managing the event space. Hope is restored here!

Me and two of my friends decided to check out a new restaurant in Charlotte, NC. When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted with a big smile and we loved the ambience of Community Matters Cafe. The menu was concise and simple with both Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch options. I ordered the hot Cinnamon Bun Mocha and it was delicious! The cream on top was so good and it felt like I was having a dessert beverage. For Lunch I ordered the New Orleans Fried Chicken Sandwich with cheddar grits. I loved the cheesy grits and it was yummy. The chicken sandwich wasn’t too spicy and it was straight fire! Overall, it was delicious and I totally recommend this restaurant if you are in the Uptown area of Charlotte, NC!
