Why this page does not list names
Independent coffee is Charlotte's fastest-turning retail category. A list of shop names published today will contain closures within a year, which is worse than no list at all.
What holds steady is the geography: which corridors carry which kind of café, and how long each takes from the neighborhood. For current, verified openings, the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority maintains an up-to-date directory.
