And/Or Café

And/Or Café is an all-day coffee-and-cocktail café inside Innovation Barn, the city-owned building on Seigle Avenue in Belmont that the nonprofit Envision Charlotte manages as the hub of Circular Charlotte, a circular-economy partnership with the city. The café comes from mixologist Justin Hazelton, who founded the Plaza Midwood listening bar Lorem Ipsum.

Coffee runs from espresso drinks to draft lattes made with housemade, low-waste syrups, including a Bananas Foster latte made with rescued produce, and the food is pastries and milk-bread or sourdough toast. The café uses herbs from the barn’s garden, honey from the barn’s beehives and surplus produce from the nonprofit The Bulb, and a cocktail menu is planned.
