Bé-Em Asian Kitchen

still on galleria boulevard, and already the list gets interesting. bé-em asian kitchen sits in a charlotte stretch that doesn't always get its due for coffee, which makes finding something this considered feel genuinely good. it's an asian kitchen first, yes, but the specialty coffee program here is taken seriously enough that you'd come back for the drinks alone. the local standing is solid and consistent, which in a city growing as fast as charlotte tends to mean people are actually telling their friends. if you're in the southpark area and need somewhere that doesn't feel like an afterthought, this is a reasonable first stop, or a reliable last one. the kind of place worth building a saturday morning around, starting with whatever's on the seasonal coffee menu.
