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.

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.

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!

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.

This place is amazing in so many ways! The breakfast was great and super delicious in a very nice and inviting atmosphere. But what tops it all is the cause and mission of this place! Keep up the great work!!

Came here for a coffee meeting recently and was pleasantly surprised. The space is pretty big and it was bustling with people on a Wednesday morning having meetings or getting some work done. The energy was great!

I came here after hours on a Yelp elite event I was so thankful for the opportunity to be able to learn about this business and all the amazing things they are doing in the community and for everyone that are struggling with addiction. We spoke with one of the managers Paul to hear first hand how much good they are doing at this amazing cafe. We had a nice spread of food that included French toast, cookies, chicken sandwich, salad and ricotta toast. Out of all the food and drink options the chai tea latte was out of this World delicious and flavorful. The ricotta toast was creamy and with some tartness from the tomatoes. I will definitely return again not just because of how great the food and drinks are but because it is very rare you get to eat at a place that is doing so much good in the community.

This place has great coffee honestly. You can find comparable quality meals at other similarly styled places for cheaper or same price but their coffee quality keeps me coming back to pay the extra dollar. Very friendly service also which goes a long way at a relaxing place like this.
