Best WiFi spots in Matthews/Mint Hill (Charlotte, Star: house, school)

[anifani821]

Need to find the best spots for WiFi in the Matthews/Mint Hill area. Here is what I am looking for:

Nice atmosphere to sit and work for two or so hours at a stretch.

Not necessarily wanting a chain - would prefer to support a local business.

Prefer no charge for connection.

Would like something other than just coffee - some nice snacks, bagels, something to go along w/ the coffee.

I have heard Carolina Bagel is a great spot. I need to find several spots in the area.

Anyone have other recommendations?

I was sure hoping I could get some recommendations of places people like to go to enjoy their coffee while going WiFi. No one here uses any of the neat coffee shops in the Matthews/Mint Hill area for some time w/ their laptops and a break w/ some java???

Ani, I wish I could help, but I just never need WiFi. I will however ask my resident laptop user for his recommendation when he gets home from school

hi anifani821!
I would recommend bean house . They are right on E.INdependence blvd. very close the the comedy zone on 74 in Matthews ! free WiFi. Really cool little welcoming set up , Independently owned .
I was there about two months ago enjoying some live jazz entertainment along with
great coffee and many other things!

Ani, my source tells me you should check out the Starbucks at the Promenade shopping center in Matthews

Oh, yes, Hearts, I am looking for EXACTLY what you recommended! The lesser known places! This is a great suggestion - and I really really appreciate it. This is one I did not know about at all. So thank you very much (and rep points for you!) I am gonna make a visit . . .

Thank you so much, Loves - and thank your source, too, LOL!!! I want to find chains, but especially am looking for the locals. I am going to be writing a little article for a local publication on WiFi hotspots in the Matthews/Mint Hill area, so want to make sure I find all the locals who have interesting set ups for their patrons.

So I hope others will post any ideas they have! Keep those suggestions coming!!!!

Well, forget my suggestion!!
What a shame , The bean house has closed.
Like I said It had been a while since I had been there , but from what I knew that place was fairly new.
Support local businesses when you find something you like!
Is it true the only other suggestion is a chain?
Sorry, good luck with your article!
