“The decor is very hip and classic, I liked the music (I cant remember what it was just felt very independent coffee shop vibe) and the barista was very kind and welcoming.”

What customers say

This place is incredible! Such a cool vibe inside the cafe. The coffees/teas, mocktails, and alcoholic beverages are all top tier. Their espresso martinis and hot chocolates are both 🤌 I have never had a drink I didn’t like here. Trivia is also super fun, plus you can bring your own food from the outside.

Our group of friends got 4 obscure drinks and all of them were delicious. They are creative and good at what they do. Most of the staff were super helpful and welcoming. An easy and fun walk in place. Lots of people working on laptops. Even durning the weekend. Love the logo and brand.

Ample coffee shop/bar . The only late night coffee shop in the area. Sofa, tables and long bar, 2 baths at this vintage shop. Also, Espresso was awesome. Wifi is not consistent though Free street parking a couple of blocks away from Germantown ave.

This was my first time to Char & Stav. I wasn't sure what to expect. I couldn't tell if there was seating from the pics I saw on google so I added some for the next person wanting to see! (There are tons of tables.) I stopped by at 7:30am. By 8am the place was hopping.
