The Giddy Goat Coffee Roasters Plaza

The Giddy Goat Coffee Roasters Plaza is a specialty coffee shop and small-batch roaster located at 1217 The Plaza in Charlotte’s Plaza Midwood neighborhood, founded in July 2020 by owners Carson Clough and Rhyne Davis. Inspired by the community-driven atmosphere of European cafés, the shop serves house-roasted coffee alongside a from-scratch menu of handmade empanadas, breakfast burritos, and pastries, with several menu items — including the empanadas and weekly yoga sessions — originating as suggestions from customers. The multi-level space features indoor seating, a rooftop patio, and a dog-friendly outdoor area called Calder Park, cementing its reputation as a beloved neighborhood gathering place in Charlotte.
