Since we moved to Mint Hill, Dilworth Coffee has become my go-to caffeination spot by default: there's nothing else within the radius of a 5-to-10-minute drive, unless you count Dunkin Donuts. Fortunately, this location is up to snuff. The coffee is good, and the staff is always friendly. The decor is is cozy and suits the family-oriented area without crossing the line into granny's-living-room territory. There's enough tables that you don't feel guilty about parking it with your laptop, as well as some couches and overstuffed chairs in case you just want to read or chat.\n\nThe only criticism I will make is that they close at 7. I suppose that is just a fact of life in Mint Hill.
