Lights Cafe has to be one of the best breakfast spots in the charlotte area hands down! My first reaction was the service! It was over the top like you would find at a 5-star fine dining establishment; We had 3 people seating the two of us. The food was OUT OF THE WORLD good! It came out fairly fast and the smells and flavor from it… phenomenal! The portions were just right and the temperatures were spot on. We spoke with the staff and they are all super friendly and very knowledgeable. We are coming back!

Awesome cafe! Everything on the menu sounded very unique, our breakfast choices looked very appetizing, and tasted even better… so fresh. Service was great. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu and on the pastry display

It’s a nice little place. Hidden gem right in front of your eyes in Ballantyne between Harris teeter and Big View diner.

The people in here are super nice. The food was very fresh and locally sourced. We had capuchinos, avocado toast a veggie omelet and the chia cup. 10/10 delicious.

Im giving this place two stars because my server was so nice. I was really looking forward to having some time by myself and treat myself to a healthy lunch. The pastrami tofu sandwich was terrible. $16 for white bread, butter lettuce and overly spiced tofu. No sides nothing. I could’ve gone so many other places and had a better meal for that amount of money. And a $6 iced tea. Will never be back at this place. I don’t have the time or money to throw around to treat myself so it’s unfortunate.

Super cute cafe with mostly vegan food and beverage options. Stopped in for a coffee. I got a cold brew with their almond “mylk” and it was so delicious! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back for more when we’re in the area again.
