Dilworth Coffeehouse-Matthews Station

A great local coffee shop with wonderful roasts and sumptuous lattes. Perfect location and nice atmosphere, I meet my run group here every Saturday and we all stay for their yummy coffee after.

Great coffee, I just wished they were open later! Almost everything but restaurants and bars closes early in downtown Matthews.

Good ice coffee! Great flavor in the house brand of coffee. Friendly staff, quick, and extremely worth the trip in. Used to go to DD by the Siskey, but I am thankful another Dilworth has opened. There is something said about the simplistic coffee bar :). Hopefully a few more chairs outside if possible at the Plantation Market location.

Very good place, good ambience, nice people and nice location. Always a safe bet for coffee or hot chocolate and tea. Haven’t had the breakfast or food yet, but others say it’s good!

Get my coffee each morning here. Really couldn’t ask for a better atmosphere or local source, the egg and cheese croissants are some of the best I’ve had.

I went there this moring the staff was super nice. I wasn’t sure what I wanted and they didn’t seem to be the least bit annoyed that it took me a few minutes to decide. I had a white choc. hot choc and it was sooooo good. I will definitely be back for another and to try out there other menu options. The were also decently priced.

I love this place. Super sweet baristas, delicious decaf drinks which is impossible to find, and not too expensive.
Never tried the food, but it looked great! also a great atmosphere to do homework or just chill out.

Went here this morning and had a great experience! We took Teri’s advice below and got a salted caramel latte, but we got ours hot, not iced. Coffee was nice and hot, and super delicious! We got ours with almond milk which I love that they offer. The woman who took and made our order was super friendly and didn’t rush us at all. She gave us a rewards card and marked off that we got 3 coffees instead of 2 as a courtesy to us, which was so nice of her. The pastries looked good, though we didn’t get any. The parking was not a problem at all — even on a Saturday morning at 10am. Nice atmosphere and great location in Matthews. This place is so much better than Starbucks and we will definitely be back.

Never have been so disappointed in a business. Most unprofessional management. Recommend you go anywhere else but here for coffee.

The service has been painfully slow both times I stopped in here.
They seem to only have one employee working during the day which is fine but just plan on being there for a while.
I have tried the pumpkin cheesecake latte and the chai tea latte. I requested almond milk (so glad they offer it). Both drinks were good but super super sweet. I heard the girl in front of me ask for «half» the syrup/​flavoring in her drink and now I can see why.
My drink wasn’t very hot either so it didn’t take long before it was basically cold. No bueno.
They are more expensive than starbucks but offer some better options. I like them, I don’t love them.
They do offer some great pastries/​snacks/​sandwiches as well. It is nice to have this alternative in downtown Matthews but I will definitely ask for less syrup next time I stop in.

Pluses: Local place, grear coffee, pleasant service, quiet afternoon atmosphere to get paperwork done with minimal distraction.
Minuses: closes during evening, favorite of soccer moms with misbehaving kids

Great pasties and coffee options. Service was fantastic too. We came to the Matthews Egg Hunt and forgot our bags for the Easter Hunt. The manager (owner maybe?) was very kind and instead of giving us cheap bags he told his staff to give all 5 of our kids sturdy bags with handles. Now that’s going above and beyond!
Also, the coffee here is excellent. I’m from Seattle so I’m a bit of a coffee snob! :)

Love this place! Great local hometown coffee shop (Charlotte area chain). Coffee is absolutely excellent and I haven’t had a whole lot of there food but everything I’ve had was awesome. They always have some unique coffee flavors as well, I think once they had snickerdoodle, and they make the whole spectrum of café drinks to suite your caffeinated desires. One of my favorite things to do on Saturday mornings during summer after a nice run through lovely downtown Matthews I stop in for a coffee, and then go for a stroll through the farmers market. Great way to start the weekend. Only con I can think of is closed on Sunday, but that is just the spoiled microwave society american inside of me complaining for no reason haha.

The place was great inside with a great atmosphere but that’s where the goodness stopped.
The coffee and hot chocolate that I bought were lukewarm and the scone was OK.
The service was meh; not super friendly, not rude — just there. I won’t be again.

The good:
Very friendly place
Good coffee
Good pastries
Allows you to seat, sip coffee and do your business
free wi-​fi
Nice atmosphere
The bad:
Parking is limited
Could use more pastry variety.

Preferred to Starbucks…
I’ve been to this coffee shop about 7 times so far, have utilized their wi-​fi twice, and have had a pleasurable experience every time.
Another review says that this place is a ‘mommy’ shop — I would beg to differ, depending on the time of day. I typically go between 1PM and 4PM and have yet to see parents with their kids. A few times, I saw women crocheting and a few other younger adults with their laptops. Sometimes, it was packed; other times, not so much; but I wouldn’t call it a ‘mommy’ coffee shop (unless I’m missing something).
There is ample seating, both inside and out. The coffee? Delicious. I would recommend this store to Starbucks as it doesn’t have the «get as many customers in and out as soon as possible to make our corporation as much money as possible» feel. I didn’t feel rushed to order and didn’t have customers behind me when I ordered, so I felt free to browse the menu boards and to ask questions.
I must admit that I do like Starbucks, but I find this coffee house to be superior in its own way.
Location: great, it’s in downtown Matthews — within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The outside seating is nice for conversations, people– and traffic/​train-​watching as it’s right by the railroad tracks. It’s also convenient if you are heading to Town Hall or the library, as it is about 500 feet from both.
Free wi-​fi, great coffee, friendly and informative staff (they know their coffee types/​flavors and will explain how each is made and the ingredients).

My favorite place in town. staff are terrific food is as good as the coffee

I’m basing this off of my initial visit here, but first impressions are often the most lasting.
PROS:
Atmosphere is great — very cozy.
Staff are very helpful.
Tasty coffee.
Free WiFi.
CONS:
The area can be busy, causing constrained parking.
One tip: if you order one of the coffees of the day, keep your cup. You’re allowed one free refill. Sure would’ve been nice to snag the free refill instead of paying for another cup. But with a medium costing a hair under $ 2, I’m not going to complain.

Its unfortunate because the coffee is really good and its a cute atmosphere inside but I always feel like I am bothering the staff when I walk in. I’m stared at until I do the greeting hello and they seem to unhappily take my order. After many attempts for better service, I won’t return.

I need a relatively constant flow of caffeine to keep my day going smoothly. And I usually need a relatively constant flow of Internet. So after a nearby lunch with a weak sweet tea, I was feeling the drop when I spotted this oasis of coffee!
Excellent latte and comfortable seating for me and my laptop. I hung out for an hour and watched a few people come and go while I did my thing.
Nice inside and outside seating. I didn’t have any, but the selection of pastries and sweet things looked top notch.
