Our philosophy
Rooted in Charlotte. Built for Everywhere.
Since 2017, Queen City Grounds has believed that exceptional coffee should create meaningful connections and lasting opportunities.
As a proudly Black-owned business, we're reimagining the traditional café by bringing specialty coffee beyond our walls and into the places that power our communities from fire stations and police precincts to government offices and workplaces.
Through innovative coffee programs, local job creation, and a growing vision for roasting and global coffee production, we're building a future where great coffee serves a greater purpose.
Every cup supports a bigger mission. Every community deserves exceptional coffee.
Charlotte Inspired Coffee
Born in the Queen City. Crafted for Coffee Lovers.
Charlotte is more than where we started. It's part of who we are.
Since 2017, Queen City Grounds has been rooted in the city's evolving specialty coffee scene, celebrating the craft behind every cup. From thoughtfully sourced beans to expertly prepared espresso, we believe great coffee is an experience worth sharing.
Authentic to our roots, intentional in our craft, and inspired by the city we call home.
Locally rooted. Coffee obsessed. Unmistakably Charlotte.
