What customers say

I discovered this place last August when I needed somewhere to study late at night, and I’ve been a regular ever since. I don’t live in the neighborhood, but I happily travel here because it’s truly an absolute gem. It’s quickly become one of my favorite spots.

Wish I had a Char & Stave in my town♥️ Love the whiskey barrel aged coffee. Hard to express what the coffee does to your taste buds. Had both a cortado and a whiskey smash latte. Bought some beans for our espresso machine because we enjoyed the flavors so much.

WOWWWW. What can I tell you about Char and Stave. I have been coming here for over a year and it never disappoints. Anthony and Syl hooked it up tonight. My go to of Dirty Martini Shaken with Olives. And Espresso Martini.

I ordered the nuts & berries latte and it was SO yummy!! The quality of the espresso is amazing and it was the perfect espresso/milk/sweetener ratio. The ambiance is really cool as well; I went at 10am, but I think it’s so neat how it turns into a bar at night.
