I really liked it. Had really good music playing and the chai latte was good, too.
Cute little cafe good waffles
Ponder is my go-to local coffee shop. Their regular menu of espresso/matcha drinks is rock solid, and they have a rotating menu of seasonal specials that are always fun to try. I lived in NYC for many years before moving back to Mt. Pleasant and, in terms of drink quality, Ponder is up there with some of my favorite coffee spots in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Staff are friendly and well-trained, and the owners clearly care about putting together a good menu with quality ingredients.

The Ponder Coffee Company in Downtown Mount Pleasant is a popular coffee shop known for its Lavender Vanilla Latte, made with homemade lavender syrup. The menu offers delicious meals, and the doughnut case is a must-try. The staff are friendly and make an effort to make customers, including children, feel comfortable. The coffee shop has street parking and serves smooth espresso, which they use to make all their syrups in-house. Their breakfast burritos are a tasty and affordable option.
Customers praise the cozy and comfortable atmosphere, with one reviewer describing it as having "retro industrial" vibes. The staff are consistently praised for their friendliness and talent, and the menu is widely acclaimed, with the Grilled Cheese and Maple Latte being particular favorites. The vegetarian options, such as the Avocado Toast, are also highly regarded. While some wish the shop was open later, they understand the challenges of running a small business.
