CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A beloved Charlotte coffee shop and bakery were one of several businesses that were flooded Thursday.

"Material things will be replaced, so we'll be OK," said Cris Rojas Agurcia in a video posted to the shop's Instagram account.

"I'm just blown away by Charlotte," she said as she got emotional. "You guys are such a good community."

Rojas Agurcia has posted pictures of the damage inside on her Instagram page, @thebatchmaker. She noted she will start the clean-up process on Friday.
