Charlotte · NoDa, United States
Why it’s on the route
Smelly Cat is one of Charlotte's longest-running coffeehouses, a fixture of NoDa on East 36th Street that has roasted its own beans since 2012. Beyond espresso and drip it offers draft and nitro cold brew and coffee cocktails, and its patio works as an informal neighbourhood co-working space.
