Market and Spring Blocks

Traditional barbershop tucked off Union Street — cuts, fades, and beard work in a quieter Market Street setting. Same strip as Mac Tabby Cat Cafe and The Mercantile, so it pairs well into a short three-stop walk down Market.

Cat cafe and rescue lounge — coffee, pastries, and time with adoptable cats. Reserve a session in the cat lounge ahead of time, or stop in for a drink at the front counter. A true standout on the Market Street block.

Curated retail shop featuring local makers, gifts, and handcrafted home goods. Quieter than Union Street, with browsable racks and a slower pace — pair it with a cat-cafe stop next door for an easy afternoon.

Tea shop and gift emporium in the Spring Street building. Loose-leaf teas, accessories, and a calm shopping atmosphere. Same address as Dermabeauty Medspa and Anointed Touch Hair Salon, with rear-lot parking access for the whole building.

Premier youth athletic training and competition facility named for the Charlotte-area NBA all-star. Coaching, programming, and competition opportunities aimed at developing the next generation of athletes. Email kwsa@kembasports.com or call (980) 249-5916 for current sessions and schedules.
