47 Best Cafes near Daniel Island

“The family and I enjoyed our trip in today! The pizzas, Caesar salad, and meatball sandwich were delicious. My husband also enjoyed a loaded smoothie. The chai was ok but I wouldn’t get it again. Love the atmosphere though! Very cute space with outdoor dining. We’ll be back!“

“Came for lunch today and the food, service and portions were great! Highly recommend the Buttermilk Catfish Sandwich with the sauce that comes with truffle fries instead of mayo!“

“Harken was a great experience. The staff was friendly and enjoyed interacting with our baby daughter, which brought smiles all around. We had a delicious vanilla latte and an amazing fresh chocolate chip cookie. The ambiance was pleasant, with seating available inside and outside. Overall, I highly recommend Harken.“

“Absolutely love it here the staff is always kind and welcoming. That said, they really need to get an air filter. The strong smell of smoke and grease makes it hard to stay inside for long or get any work done comfortably. It’s a great place otherwise, but the air quality definitely needs improvement.“

“A charming, authentic coffee shop in Charleston’s historic district. The coffee is of good quality. The design is very simple, but bright and clean. It’s a bit cramped, but the great coffee makes up for it. I recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.“

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

“My favorite place in Mt Pleasant!! The best hidden gem that I wish I could keep secret but I want everyone to know how fantastic it is. The food and drinks are amazing plus it comes with the most wonderful and kind owners in Sena and Ogi. This place will become your home away from home!“

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

“Only tried the coffee and pastries for our first visit, coffee was 10/10 as was the cream puff, hands down the best I’ve ever had (it was overflowing with delicious filling)! With having a small child I really appreciated that they find & bring your order to you! Can’t wait to go back to try the other menu items!
Oh I also have to give a shoutout for the terrific napkins, they’re not the wimpy ones where you need 10 to wipe one finger!“

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

“Love the place you just have to go check it out. Definitely get some food while you’re there. It’ll keep you going back.“

“Not sure why this location has a lower rating than the other. I had a great time at both locations and I’m glad I went out of my way to pop into this one. If I was local I’d be a regular for sure! I sat at the bar top and enjoyed my coffee and people watching. The team work and way the staff interacted with each other made it known that it was a well run establishment. Great job, Babas!“

“Large selection of food & super friendly staff! Avocado toast is the best I’ve ever had in Mt Pleasant and the scrambled egg was the perfect soft texture. Definitely coming back.“

“Got the peach tea with strawberry popping boba. Sooooooo good!!!! one of the best i've had. Friendly & fast service. Will definitely be back!“

“Amazing coconut cake, thank you!“

“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!“

“Great healthy food options! Small place tucked away so you’ve got to look for it. Serves breakfast and lunch from 9am-2pm. Menu includes sandwiches, wraps, fresh pressed juices, smoothies plus baked goods from Mabel Mae’s (also healthy, gluten, and vegan options). We went for lunch and got it to go along with a cookie for dessert. The sandwich and wrap were huge. They were fresh and full of flavor. The chicken salad wrap was like no other Ive ever had. It had a sweet curry taste and filled with chicken, tomatoes, pickled red onions, and greens. My husband got the “Stoopid Good Sammy” which came on sourdough bread and had smoked turkey, spicy mayo, bacon, avocado, and Munster cheese. Also fresh and tasty. For dessert we shared a sandwhich cookie made up of 2 gaham masala cookies filled with a lemon cream. SOOOOO good. The cookies were soft and chewy and reminded me of a molasses cookies and the lemon filling was a good compliment. No seating indoors but there are a few tables outside. Also have grab and go items premade available.“

“Great fresh food attractively prepared. Super gluten free selection. Quick, friendly and helpful service. Love the sauce on the side for those with high blood pressure or other special needs. We look forward to coming back! Recommend💯%“

“We were delighted to bump into this Cafe for a morning cup of coffee. I enjoyed a butter biscuit with egg and a chai latte which I nibbled on as I walked the rest of Broad Street to Colonial Lake. The staff were super friendly and the cafe is cute with a nice selection of merch.“

“I discovered this place this week while here for a visit, and I have eaten here two mornings in a row. It has such a cozy vibe, and the food and service are both great. I wish I had known about this place when I lived here until last year. I Would have definitely been a regular.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Low Country Coffee Roasters! Every bag of coffee I’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and expertly roasted. You can really tell they put a lot of care into sourcing high-quality beans and roasting them to perfection. It’s our go-to spot for coffee beans in the Charleston area.

The owners are incredibly kind and always go out of their way to accommodate customers, making the ordering and pickup process seamless.

If you’re looking for amazing coffee and excellent service, I highly recommend giving them a try!“

“Comfortable paths nice view“

“This is perfect for my son and me! I know my son gets healthy meals that I don’t need to plan. They have an amazing variety and they make it so easy! I would recommend them to anyone! �“

“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!!! 😊“

“$45 to park legally for 4 hours is money I would've spent at the market. Somebody's making a killing on the parking. Love Charleston but will not be returning as much anymore.“

“Stopped here yesterday for the first time. I don’t live in Charleston but only came for the symphony. It was my daughter’s birthday and we wanted to treat her to something special. We ordered a few desserts and French pressed coffee. I love a strong, bold coffee and theirs did not disappoint! Wonderful! I forgot to ask her name but the woman who waited on us was so sweet and attentive. The cake we ordered was HUGE! We knew it was tall but the slice size was so generous. Even after stuffing ourselves we took home so much. Thank you Gala for helping make her 15th birthday one to remember! We will be back every time we come to town.“

“Loved the “mock tail” Great thought process We enjoyed the Hawaiian theme. The food was delicious, but my spouse thought the pork entree needed “flavor”. Portions are perfect. We noticed students with smiles and needed information about menu items. Very clean and look forward to returning“

“Very good Açaí bowls! I had the Beech Bowl and my wife had the Nutella bowl! Only thing I could see that they could improve upon is the Acai was frozen hard. Maybe they premake the base and then put in the freezer? Anyways after it melted some and softened up it was great!!!“

“Outstanding! When I booked this experience we were looking for a fabulous backdrop as we explored the city. What a hidden gem! The location, service and facilities made our experience memorable! The staff was very attentive to our party and we had to wait for nothing. The menu is top notch and offers different items than nearby establishments. Do yourself a huge favor and taste the grit bowls for starters. The crispness puts the fresh in their fresh fruit. We shall definitely return!“

“I ate lunch at Beech for the first time yesterday, and I wish I tried this place earlier, so delicious! 🌯I had the black bean hummus wrap and the Green One smoothie.🧋 I highly recommend Beech! I can’t wait for it to come to James Island!!“

“KISS Cafe is truly a hidden gem that has captured our hearts. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family—by the warm, welcoming staff, Chef Tim, and the incredible Ms. Leslie. The food is consistently phenomenal, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the love they show to our children (and everyone else’s) is something you just don’t find everywhere. Their dinner club nights are a highlight for us—perfect for a spontaneous date night with an amazing menu and vibe. We’re proud to be regulars and even prouder to support such a special local spot that brings so much heart to everything they do. KISS Cafe is more than a cafe—it’s a community.“

“This was my first time eating at this restaurant. Highly recommend this restaurant. Superb service. Quiche and the speciality coffee was delicious!! Look forward to coming back!!! 😊“

“First time trying them out, but definitely will not be the last. You get your moneys worth and more here!! If you leave hungry it’s your own fault. The chili hamburger was messy but oh so good! The fries were the crispiest crinkle cut fries I’ve ever had. (I normally don’t like crinkle cut fries as they are never crisp enough for me. ) I give them a five star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best vegan desserts I’ve had“

“What a great place! The food is so fresh and incredibly delicious! The menu is very creative which we love! Our waitress, Lynn, was friendly and provided top notch service! We will definitely be back when we're in town. Highly recommend 💕😋“

“Alcove Market absolutely blew us away. Hands down the best hamburger in Charleston—perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The fried chicken sandwich? Also top-tier. Crispy, tender, and just the right amount of kick.

We also tried the wraps and they were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And let’s talk about the wine prices—unbelievably reasonable. It’s rare to find a place where you can grab a great glass without breaking the bank.

On top of all that, the service was warm, welcoming, and fast. This place is a gem—a must-not-miss when you're in Charleston. Can't wait to go back.

Oh, and DOG FRIENDLY patio!

Go here.“

“The coffee is fantastic, the workers are very sweet, and it has the charm that only a local spot can. They even have a “pay it forward” where you buy a coffee for someone that meets the criteria you set like “firefighter” or “veteran”“

“Lowcountry Local First ordered Ted's Butcherblock for a monthly networking event and everything was delicious! The quality of ingredients and preparation is unmatched. Ted's is a long-time supporter of Lowcountry Local First and gives back to the community in many ways. I highly recommend supporting this local business!“
