text: Coffee houses in Charlotte are a dime a dozen these days but Caffeine Highway is one of the few exceptions The service and variety of beverages is unmatched nnThe services is leagues above chain coffeehouses that rhyme that Sharschumcks as they owner is very involved with daily operation here I met the manager when I worked down the street from the coffehouse and he gave me several coupons I love the fact they have a rotating selection of drinks and specials nnThe espresso drinks are awesome they use a medium roast espresso that is not as harsh as the chains The smoothies are more like sorbets but nonetheless delicious The staff are willing to accomadate your beverage preferences Soy hot chocolate or chai latte with milk No problem AND they have consigment treats from Novas Bakery in Plaza MidwoodnnCH has a drivethrough to complement our lovely commuter culture If you are near Idependence and Sardis stop by for a quick jolt of caffeine and friendliness You will be back soon
