Charlotte, NC Day Trip

A couple of my favorite spots when visiting Charlotte!

I will always go to Sorella coffee they have the yummiest lattes cutest environment and the BEST merch I’ve seen at a coffee shop! I came in town just in time to celebrate their 1 year anniversary with a birthday cake latte & a new book shop just opened up across the street called so much more to the story with a ton of book option a welcoming environment and they gift you the cutest little book mark with your purchase! These 2 spots are In moroe on the outskirts of Charlotte so if you plan to visit i recommend stopping there first before spending the day in Charlotte!

This was my first visit to Tous les jours a French Korean bakery…two of my favorite things and I CAN NOT wait to visit again! I need to try everything they have! My favorites of what I purchased was the spinach and cheese danish and the milk cream bread. Everything was so full of flavor and light and fluffy!

When I heard easy like Sunday has seasonal ube I pancakes I knew immediately that would be our brunch stop for the day! They were just as good as I’d hoped. Another one of my favorites from them is their grilled chicken & hallumi cheese sandwich!

All of these places are a 10/10 for me and places you should for sure stop and visit if you ever find yourself in the area!
