About Tip Top Daily Market
Coffee, provisions, and prepared food in a format the neighborhood keeps asking for more of.
Why Tip Top Daily Market matters on this corridor
The commercial spine of Plaza Midwood is unusual for Charlotte in that it never fully redeveloped: single-story storefronts from the streetcar era still hold most of the tenants, which keeps floor plates small and favors independent operators over chains. Tip Top Daily Market occupies that kind of space on Belmont, and the resulting scale — tight rooms, patios carved out of side lots, counters rather than lobbies — is a large part of why the district reads as it does on foot rather than from a car.
Getting there
Tip Top Daily Market sits on Belmont inside the Plaza Midwood commercial corridor, reachable on foot from most of the historic residential grid. Street parking near the corridor is contested on weekend evenings, and some adjacent residential blocks carry permit restrictions.
