50 Best Coffee Shops in Charleston

“Hipster joint in the North King area. Hipster who handed us menu’s at the bar “We’re a Rum forward bar”. Absolutely need the oyster sliders in your life. We had 6 between the two of us.“

“I asked my fiancé to find a nice coffee shop that also sells beer in Charleston. After her google search, she asked our friends at The Lucky Luchador and they also recommended your establishment. I was definitely impressed with the atmosphere and selection of beer that was available. I will be coming back soon and will be your ugliest ambassador!!! 😊“

“Super Delicious breakfast in a cozy laid-back Atmosphere!!!“

“EVERYTHING = TODO! From the food and drinks, to the atmosphere, and the people :)“

“We adored this place! We accidentally found the downtown Charleston location during our stay there at a close AirBNB! We visited 3 times in our 2.5 days there. Then, we passed by the John’s Island location on our way to Kiawah and decided to make the 25 min drive the next morning for our coffee and pop tart fix! Great coffee, service, pastries, toasts and local drink and food finds!“

“Love sightsee shop!!! The worst part about leaving Charleston was leaving sightsee.“

“Amazing food! Great environment!“

“Favorite coffee Shop!! Love you guys!“

“Food is fairly priced, healthy options and looks great.“

“I had a breakfast burrito. It was more than what I can eat, but it was so tasty.“

“They are BUSY! Although we had a pretty long wait, the food was very good! Everyone in our party liked their bagels/breakfast sandwiches. Cute little place. I would return. I do wish it would’ve been less crowded, but they do good business!“

“Their lunch menu is one sandwich (with meat) and four cold salads (2 of which are vegan). You can get a combo of two which is what I did. The quinoa was amazing, the black bean salad was just ok in my opinion. The ciabatta (which staff confirmed was vegan) was to DIE for. Great value and AC right off king st“

“The Grasshopper Toast was an amazing blend of flavors!“

“Clean, nice staff. Free wifi…very quiet.“

“Does the fact that I go to Mercantile and Mash 4 days a week speak to any admiration I may have for it? 😂“

“Good Food & Drink, Short on Atmosphere We enjoyed the Pecan Croissant, the Cinnamon Coffecake Muffin and a couple of lattes. All the items were very tasty. My only complaint would be about the atmosphere. It isn’t really a pleasantly comfortable place to sit and enjoy. Lots of signs on the door with instructions and not too clean, haphazard tables inside, etc. While efficient, the person who took our order wasn’t welcoming or particularly helpful. So, run in, get your stuff and vamoose.“

“I try and visit this restaurant every time I’m in town, Food is always top notch, always greeted with charm from all the employees and I can’t go a time without a sweet interaction from the manager Miah! I will always recommend this place to all my friends and family. Wish I lived closer to town so I can enjoy it everyday! Thank you Maple street biscuit company“

“😃 great well-crafted coffee drinks with fresh pastries.“

“Great coffee! My wife and I saw their beans at another local coffee shop so we decided to give their coffee shop a try and we are glad we did! We enjoyed sitting here drinking our coffee and relaxing. We got some beans to take home for ourselves as well.“

“5.0 the best to go breakfast I've ever had. Locally sourced and organic. Amazing staff too.“

“Such a fun and cozy place to be with the best coffee and pastries! Will definitely be back! I highly recommend😁“

“Super cute store, very kind staff, and great treats! The seasonal menu is great and I love the banana bread latte. It’s great how they host events like book trades and candle making!! how cute?! a little bit pricy but i’m happy to support local small businesses when I can!!“

“This place was delicious! There is something for everyone here, Highly recommended 🔥🔥🔥“

“Huriyali Gardens cafe in Charleston, SC, offers an enchanting garden vibe with lush greenery. The iced coffee and smoothies are great and the outdoor seating feels like a secret oasis, perfect for relaxing. They also allow dogs on the patio and the food is locally sourced as well!! 10/10🌴🪴🌺🍍🍌🍓“

“Full-time traveler, here(@whatrvdoing)! Hands down the tasting at ten absolutely opened up my eyes to the culture. This great experience accompanied with good people and perfect coffee will leave you thirsty for more. If you cannot make it at ten order some online. Cheers!“

“Stopped in for an afternoon iced latte - one of the best I’ve had in a long time in the Charleston area! Only disappointment was no natural flavoring like real maple syrup. Great milk alternative choices as well. Very cute spot to sit and relax!“

“Awesome location and vibe-- coffee and espresso is excellent!Btw, they have espresso martinis on tap!!! Great coffee place inside the Wyndham Hotel!“

“Definitely a favorite spot to hit for coffee. I often buy bags of beans to have grounded for my Kuerig. I love the free cup when I buy a bag too“

“Excellent customer service! Had an issue with my online order and they called right away to offer a refund or replacement. Oh and the food and coffee is great, too! Had the nut butter oatmeal, was not overly sweet which I prefer, and very filling! Would definitely recommend!“

“Absolutely the best Teas! I love both locations, the West Ashley location and the Summerville location but I will say I by far had the best tea today that a young women made me. The Jolly Rancher with Immunity instead of the hydration. So good!! Give it a shot!!!“

“Stopped by Waflin for a quick dessert and was blown away! Their menu of waffle and ice cream treats is impressive, and the hazelnut waffle I tried was pure perfection—warm, crispy waffle paired with creamy, cold ice cream. The presentation was top-notch, like a little edible masterpiece. Got a chance to chat with the team, and their pride in their Turkish roots and craft really shines through. Absolutely recommend!“

“Best specialty coffee in town.“

“The best empanadas, ice cream and customer service!! We love the beef and ham/cheese flavors.“

“Love having a first class coffee shop in the neighborhood. Staff takes time to speak to customers in a warm and engaging way. The patio is beautiful, a great place to read or work while enjoying a yummy beverage. They also have a great special diet selection which can be hard to find. Check it out“

“Community Perk has become my go to coffee shop! They recently added some new pastries and breakfast sandwiches that are delicious - definitely try the donuts and the biscuit sandwich. The people who work there are really friendly and helpful too.“

“It was a nice surprise to find this shop with a big patio, it is Spring and the weather is cooler in the morning a good way to enjoy your first cup of coffee with the sounds of the birds. I enjoyed the coffee a lot!! If I'm in the area I'll be back“

“Very cute beachy aesthetic and the staff were super friendly & easily answered my dietary questions. I'm very excited to have a closer coffee shop!

Their cinnamon roll is very good. Unfortunately the chai is almost straight milk & my sandwich was pretty burnt. I know they just opened up so I'm down to give them another shot in the future and maybe try something different from their menu.

I would also love to see the website menu get updated with food descriptions.“

“So here’s the truth about everyone’s favorite coffee shop owner she runs around her employees acting like a teenager spreading rumors, bullying, and making fun of people 25 years younger than her. She spreads rumors about people getting pimped out with other employees on the phone, tells her employees they will never make it in the career they have been working towards their whole lives, screaming at young mother over the phone while she’s taking care of her children calling her broke and desperate. Let her employees steal tips from a girl who quit. Also letting a girl work who texted her a positive Covid test . She also had told three employees not test when they were in direct contact with Covid so that she didn’t have to close the shop. Consistently disregards individuals pronouns and makes it very obvious it’s out of pure ignorance. We have contacted cooperate and they didn’t mind or atleast meet with her and try and get her some management training and she thinks it’s all a joke. Hopefully this opens up someone’s eyes and sees who she really is.“

“One of THE best gelatos you will ever have!! Will visit again“

“recomendado amis paisanos y atodos“

“Quite possibly the best ice cream I’ve had anywhere ever! And I’ve lived 50 years and been to 6 continents.“

“Had to wait in a short line, but the owner let us know right away. I loved the transparency. It was a cool spot to hangout in and watch the nitrogen ice cream being made right in front of our eyes. The ice cream was to die for! I can’t wait to come back!“

“We started buying coffee at Big Kick Coffee when our daughter lived in Charleston. Always stopped by the Market before leaving. Now we order online once a month. Best coffee ever!!“

“Starbucks inside Target at Citadel Mall is so convenient! I love the location and the service is quick and the baristas are always friendly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
