All sorts of delicious home baked good here. If you are visiting definitely a good goody spot. If this is your home town, great place to study or meet a friend for coffee.

Such a beautiful and aesthetic cafe! The food isn't cheap but it is well worth the cost and you cannot ask for a better coffee experience in Charleston!

Delicious dessert (the Black and Blue). Lattes were wonderful, especially with the homemade mocha and vanilla.

I was visiting Charleston and met a friend for breakfast at Harbinger. We were there as they opened their doors on a Saturday and there was already a short line. That's a good sign! I had the avocado toast named grasshopper. It was sooo good! I highly recommend this place for its inventive combinations and delicious bread.

Stopped in today for a late lunch and a sweet treat. The girlfriend had the mocha latte, hot bean salad, avocado toast, and the starry dessert, I had a black coffee, Brussels sprouts, quiche, and the chocolava. Her latte was yummy, my coffee was good black coffee, not too acidic. All of our food items were outstanding! My quiche was massive and I felt it was a good value. Staff was extremely friendly too! Pricing was not high by Charleston standards. The only complaints were minor... parking situation is terrible even for Charleston (a few on-street spots and who knows if you get towed/ticketed after an hour or two), sooooo many people in there working that I felt bad having a conversation (but seriously if you are in a busy place working that's not my fault if you get distracted by other people), kind of a tight space for two people, didn't have a good way to bring all of my food and drinks to my table. Again, super minor complaints and honestly the only real irritation was the parking, which they have little control over. I will definitely return here again! J.Ja

Coffee was good, they use house made syrups which i enjoy however the flavorings are very subtle. The food was delectable! Very delicious and tasted very fresh. They had a beautiful interior which has plenty of seating. It is usually very busy so it may be a bit more difficult to find seating for a bigger group. The service was fine, nothing past normal customer service nothing less.
I enjoyed this cafe a couple of times on my recent visit. The food and coffee were both excellent. Seating is quite limited and can be hard to find, but I was able to snag a table. Including napkins on tables of with delivery of the food would help improve the experience and save a trip back up to the front. Your table may not be there when you get back.

We had honey latte and homemade vanilla latte. Both tasted good. For breakfast, an Avacado sandwich, which is just an okay and harbinger sandwich, which is really good.
My husband wanted to go somewhere for coffee since we didn't do anything for lunch today so I looked somewhere up near the hotel. This little place was pretty close and it looked like there were some good vegan options and some yummy drinks that could be made dairy-free. I was very surprised when we walked in and asked the girl which bakery items were vegan. She said none of them had eggs and the ones that had dairy had it listed as an allergy. So basically everything was vegan, with the exception of a few items that had honey. I had no idea what to pick so I chose the Chia bar w/ Apricot and my husband got the Pistachio and Chocolate. I don't think we could have made a bad choice though! I'm regretting not getting one to go! If we get the chance to return before it's time to go, I'll definitely pick up some more goodies! It's a super cute little shop with some seating in the back. Overall, highly recommended and it's on my list for next trip if we don't make it back!

Literally THE BEST coffee, avocado toast and pastries in all of CHS. It's consistently great, never misses every time I go. My boyfriend and I go every single weekend. My favorite order is the Grasshopper avo toast and a honey latte :)
Truly the best coffee shop in
