Also listed in: Over 50 Charlotte

Smelly Cat has been roasting on East 36th Street since 2000, which makes it one of the oldest craft coffee rooms in Charlotte. It roasts its own beans in small batches on site and makes its own syrups, and it sits directly across from the Neighborhood Theatre in the middle of the NoDa arts district.
