Smelly Cat Coffee House is my go to spot since I have been back home. My food is excellent, my coffee is Hot and delicious and the atmosphere is sooo calm and cool. Before Covid it was 😳 crowded and hectic. But now you can enjoy the space inside. ☺️
Thank you Owner and Staff for making this 🙏🏿 ❤️ a welcoming space.
We’re just visiting Charlotte for the weekend and found this place & are so glad we did! The owner was more than accommodating- she explained the menu and even suggested samples before we ordered to make sure we got coffee that we really enjoyed! She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was excellent. They make all of their syrups and even roast their own coffee! The inside has a few tables and does have AC, she does lock the front door though always so just order at the window first and she will give you a table inside if you’d like, or there are lots of spaces outside to sit too! I had the lavender cold brew and it was delicious. My friend who came with got a decaf latte with spiced brown sugar syrup (which was homemade) & that was fantastic too! They also have some Cuban coffee that I would love to give a try too! We didn’t order food, but would’ve gotten a bagel, frittata (only served on weekends), donut, or sandwich. Highly recommend this cozy, welcoming coffee shop!
Smelly Cat stands out as a distinct coffee shop in the artsy Noda neighborhood of Charlotte. While the space is cozy with limited indoor seating, they offer convenient walk-up window service and ample outdoor seating. On my visit, I tried their chai tea latte and it was delightful.
First time visiting this part of Charlotte, and we went here because we thought the name was cute lol. But the coffee was phenomenal! The spiced brown sugar latte was delicious and my friend loved their white chocolate latte. The environment is so cute and customer service was great as well. Would love to visit this little place again when back in Charlotte. 🫶
They have a 5 star rating for a reason, this roaster/restaurant is top notch. Between the excellent service and amazing coffee, this is a place to go to. I was privileged enough to meet the owner who is extremely kind and knowledgeable about her products. If you're looking for a cute spot to work or grab a quick bite to eat, this is your spot.
I love Smelly Cat! It’s my favorite coffee place in Charlotte and offers a yummy, quick breakfast in their cute location in Noda! Highly recommend!
Great coffee, great food, great people! Can’t wait to come back here when visiting Noda again!

My daughter and I enjoyed our handcrafted coffee beverages. I enjoyed a hot mocha, and she went for the caramel Frappuccino. It was a lovely day in the porch. We saw many people working while enjoying the weather on the patio. Looking forward to returning.
Located in the heart of NODA, Smelly Cat checks all the boxes. They source and roast their own coffee beans and have a drink and food menu that is sure to please everyone. Table seating is either inside, on the deck or under the trees. The owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. If you bring your canine friends be sure to ask for a pup cup.
Exceptional coffee crafted by skilled baristas in a relaxed atmosphere. My latte had a perfect balance of flavors. My only suggestion is to add more variety in alternative milk options for dietary restrictions. Despite that, I enjoyed the overall experience and will definitely be back for the excellent coffee.
