Pertinacious, a local speciality coffee brand that started with a mobile cart, is opening its first standalone shop in Montford. Why it matters: The expansion marks a major milestone for 23-year-old founder Emma Layman, who has built a loyal following by sharing the behind-the-scenes reality of running her small business on social media. Driving the news: Pertinacious is aiming to open in mid-January 2027 inside Centro Montford, a new apartment development near Park Road Shopping Center.

Southern Living called this stretch of Charlotte road underrated for a food crawl

Southern Living has called South Boulevard “the South’s most underrated food crawl” for its diverse collection of eateries. Here are the restaurants the magazine lauds along the stretch: Coffee and pastries La Greka Coffee Shop Named for an Italian-style moka coffee pot, La Greka is nestled inside a Compare Foods. Panaderia offerings and tacos are available at the counter, along with caffeinated classics. Southern Living recommends the Carribbean Latte, topped with coconut flakes. Vicente Bistro The viennoiserie offers a variety of classic pastries, such as pan au chocolat and ham and cheese croissants, but co-owner Sam Chappelle recommended the coffee rolls — orange-espresso spirals in the style of a cinnamon roll — to Southern Living. The magazine also recommended Sumaq Coffee and Folia , which becomes a cocktail bar in the evenings. Mexican Maria’s Mexican Restaurant Maria’s is woman-owned and colorfully painted with bright, Latin American murals. A recent CharlotteFive article commends it for quality, cheap eats. Southern Living’s article recommends the ramen and tacos, but Maria’s is also well known for birria quesadillas. The magazine also recommended Tacos El Nevado , Compa Tacos , La Lima Sangucheria for bowls and sandwiches, Raíces for Oaxacan and cocktails and The Story
