9. Coffee & Crema

Excellent Coffee Experience.
This is easily one of the best coffee shops in the Southeast. Their focus on the best quality drinks over marketing and gimmicks has created avid fans who understand coffee as an experience, not a commodity or fast food item. His attention to espresso perfection will have you in awe, and his espresso drinks can't be replicated anywhere within a 2 hour radius. His baristas are equally passionate about coffee and espresso, and are just as driven to quality as the owner himself. I have visited from Charlotte during their monthly latte art competitions, and been amazed at their desire to create community in a strip mall, or in their other location, in a mall. A coffee shop in a league of a few. Don't miss the chance to go by there and taste what my raving mind has experienced. Also, try one of the coffees in one of the non-traditional devices like the AeroPress. it will be the best cup of coffee you've ever had.
