Exciting New Coffee Shop Opening in Charlotte
Hey coffee lovers! If you’ve been dreaming of a new spot to grab your daily fix, your wish might just come true. Charlotte is about to welcome a delightful new addition to its vibrant food scene: Fly Kid Fly, a playful coffee shop that’s set to open its doors at The Bowl at Ballantyne in early October. Get ready to indulge in some cozy vibes and delicious brews!
A Taste of Collaboration
What makes this new coffee shop extra special is its impressive lineage. The team behind Fly Kid Fly consists of the talented owners of HEX Coffee, a beloved local coffee brand known for its robust flavors and warm atmosphere. They are joined by the dynamic duo behind Harriet’s Hamburgers, which conveniently just opened right across the street. This partnership promises to bring together the best of both worlds, combining excellent coffee and mouthwatering food in one lively location.
What to Expect Inside
Fly Kid Fly will be a cozy 700-square-foot space, primarily focusing on to-go orders. Perfect for those of us always on the move! With its cheerful branding, the shop aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia and fun. The name itself is a whimsical nod to the Wright brothers, reminding us that great things can come from a sense of playfulness. Owner Chandler Wrenn emphasizes that they want customers to “feel like a kid in the coffee shop,” making it more than just a caffeine stop, but an experience in itself.
The Perfect Location
Fly Kid Fly is ideally situated at 15119 Bowl St., right next to Honeysuckle Gelato and close to other exciting new businesses at The Bowl. You’ll find yourself in lively company with spots like OMB, Postino WineCafe, Boddy Beaulah’s, North Italia, and Flower Child. It’s becoming quite the vibrant destination for foodies and coffee enthusiasts alike!
Hex Coffee’s Fame
If you’re not already familiar with HEX Coffee, it’s truly one of Charlotte’s gems. Located in Camp North End, it has gained quite the reputation, attracting not just locals, but even celebrity visitors like NBA star Jimmy Butler. It’s this kind of love for quality coffee that drives the excitement surrounding Fly Kid Fly. You can expect nothing less than a fantastic cup of jo and a cheerful atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and savor every sip.
Looking Ahead
And if that isn’t enough to get you excited, hold onto your seats because there’s more! Fly Kid Fly isn’t stopping at just one location. They already have a second spot in the works in Matthews, set to open at the corner of East John and Trade Streets. It’s clear that this new coffee venture is spreading its wings and aiming for even more hearts—and taste buds—in the process!
What’s Next for Charlotte Coffee Culture?
The buzz around Fly Kid Fly is palpable, and with its playful concept and a solid partnership behind it, it could become a new favorite among Charlotteans. For those who enjoy exploring local coffee shops, this new addition might just be the perfect place to satisfy your caffeine cravings while enjoying a few playful vibes.
