Bitty & Beau’s Coffee To Close South End Location After 5 Years in Charlotte

Bitty & Beau's Coffee will shut down its Charlotte shop at 1930 Camden Road on Sunday, March 22. The café has operated in South End for five years, providing jobs to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

"This decision came only after deep reflection and exploring every possible option to avoid this outcome," the owners wrote in a note posted inside the coffee shop, according to the Charlotte Observer.

The letter thanked neighbors and patrons. They appreciated how the community had "turned our shop into a vibrant hub of inclusion, joy, and belonging."

CharlotteFive readers picked this spot as the city's top coffee destination in 2022. Customers order cappuccinos, cold brew, smoothies, and baked goods here.

The chain runs more than a dozen shops across 11 states. Charlotte's only location will close, but North Carolinians can still visit the Wilmington café.

The concept bills itself as the "original inclusive coffee shop." Its menu aims to satisfy everyone.

CharlotteFive contacted the company on Tuesday, March 10. They awaited a response.

Service continues at 1930 Camden Road through March 22. Wilmington will then become the nearest option.
