The Original Char’s Location

Johnston is where it all began. In 2021, the original Charlotte's crib opened its doors as the very first Charlotte's Kitchen brick-and-mortar, and the Char's fam showed up in a big way! A lot of hard work and creativity has gone into bringing you the best possible experience, and that hasn't changed a bit. If you haven't visited us yet, we'd love to have you.
