50 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!“

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

“Walked here on recommendation of a local & it did not disappoint. Great coffee, solid baristas & insane food. The butter me up sandwich... wish i had it in my life daily. Grabbing some pastries to bring home to the family too. If you are in Charleston, Harken is a must. It's a top 3 coffee shop in the area.“

“This neighborhood gem is one of my favorite places in Charleston. Do yourself a favor and stop in today for insanely good coffee, grab a bite to eat and meet the loveliest people.“

“I had a wonderful time escaping the midday heat in this coffee shop on a birthday stroll! 🥳 the barista was so sweet and made me a delicious cinnamon latte that I will never forget! She was able to answer questions and make recommendations, which is always appreciated. Thank you for making my birthday special!“

“Found Baba’s through an Instagram story and was intrigued by their peanut milk lattes.

My brother and I both got a latte and they were very delicious, not too sweet! We ordered the pickled shrimp toast and the baguette with ham and butter to snack on, both were incredible! For the two small drinks and two menu items, plus tip, it was a little over $50 which seemed a bit pricey for the portion size, but would definitely go again.

The atmosphere was very cozy, a little crowded but worth the wait!“

“Simply awesome. Alyssa was running this joint solo. It was pretty cool watching her do her magic. She moves so incredibly fast! My father had very very very very very very specific dietary needs due to his health conditions right now. She was extremely considerate and whipped up something tailored made just for him that was astounding. I will definitely be coming back over and over again. My only complaint is the salad my sister bought, was $23 before taxes! That is outrageous for a salad. I doubt the ingredients are so expensive that it would justify the price. If the ingredients really are that expensive, then perhaps use different ingredients.“

“One of our fave places! They arguably have the best orange spritzes in the world! We're obsessed with the pickled shrimp toast and ham and butter sandwich! Oh and you must try the peanut drink. It's DELICIOUS! The staff is also always so friendly and consistent. 😍“

“I’m a regular and honestly this last review doesn’t sound like the place I know. It’s pretty common for it to go from empty to busy in a matter of minutes.

I’ve never had anyone be rude to me here, and my drinks have always been solid. If something was wrong, they’ve always been willing to fix it.

Just sharing another perspective since this felt a bit exaggerated.“

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

“I went to Broad Street Cafe the other day for breakfast. They had excellent bagel sandwiches - I opted for the standard egg and cheese on a Jalapeno Bagel toasted. It was delicious! The staff were super friend and I would definitely go back“

“Super cute spot! It really is a nook. Just got a strawberry matcha and iced latte. The espresso was very smooth and match was not overly sweet and tasted authentic, like grass. The girl thar helped us was very personable and actually had a conversation with us. Very small sitting area. Street parking.“

“This place is a great addition to West Ashley! The sandwiches are so good! I recommend the Turkey sandwich. Staff is really friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. There’s comfy spots in the back, several tables and window bar seats to work/eat at as well.“

“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.“

“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!“

“What do I recommend about Carmella’s? EVERYTHING and EVERYONE! We found this gem last year on our post Christmas visit. And Mandy is simply the best. Love this place!“

“Terrific food. Always prepared to perfection. Everyone at the restaurant is friendly and helpful and concerned. I believe this is one of the best restaurants in the Charleston area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!! 😊“

“Best vegan desserts I’ve had“

“We had the best time visiting PCC last Sunday making lots of kitty friends! 🐈🐈‍⬛ I wanted to take them all with me back to Richmond! One in particular, Lucas was so sweet and loving! I'm going to miss him.!💜“

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

“Addended from prior: I had an excessive wait time(>40m) in the drive thru line on a busy Sunday. Owner reached out personally after the bad experience which goes a long way. Definitely will go back as smoothies are always great, but I would recommend ordering ahead or popping inside if the drive thru line looks long!“

“This hidden little gem is an absolute must‑go. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a quaint, cozy atmosphere and service that hits the mark every single time. The menu is packed with dishes that immediately catch your eye, and once the food arrives, you understand exactly why this place stands out.

I’ve visited multiple times — both for lunch and dinner — and I’ve never had a single dish miss the mark. Each service has its own standout plate, thoughtfully crafted and consistently delicious. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers excellence with such reliability, but this one does it effortlessly.

The picture below is a soup and sandwich for less than $20 in MtP.“

“We visited Isles of Palm from GA and this was our go-to breakfast/coffee everyday. Hands down THE best cold brew and muffins I’ve ever had. We tried a lot of their different coffees but, the chunky monkey is a must if you come here!“

“Always fantastic. The owner and staff are always so nice and friendly. :)“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Lovely atmosphere, convenient location, friendly staff.“

“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!“

“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💯%“

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

“Such great food!! The selection and service is wonderful. There were cooking burgers on the smoker/grill out back I smelled it from a block away and just had to check them out. I ended up getting the pulled pork panini let me so WOW it was so good their BBQ sauce is soooo good! I'm definitely glad i stopped in!“

“Cane bay & Goose Creek areas most nourish ing shop to sustain all your nutritional needs.The Mega Teas will give you all the energy without the crash & taste ridiculously amazing.If you love ice cream their shakes taste & feel like it without the guilt.“

“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“

“Amazing coconut cake, thank you!“

“This is a store we found when we went to watch the yacht, it looks like a small store, but there is a lot of food inside, with a lot of choices“

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

“Mrs. Jenny’s customer service is superb! We just left the store and my kids are still talking about their interaction with her. She definitely went ABOVE and BEYOND! I sincerely appreciate her thoughtfulness and amazing customer service. ❤️❤️ “Expect something special” is an understatement, she left us speechless. I pray that she is blessed tenfold!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“Crunchy Thai chicken wrap 10/10. Literally every single bite was crisp and fresh. Ginger dressing was definitely a bonus on top of the wrap but was not needed with every bite. Extra thanks to the GM Carla who suggested the lavender lemonade which was a pleasant quenching to my taste buds. My next solo brunch will definitely be held here. I will probably try a smoothie bowl next....“

“Comfortable paths nice view“

“Love Orange Spot so much!! Love the cha yen!! We love you Heather!!!���“

“$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.“

“I was in the area for a business trip and actually came here twice to pick up breakfast. Both times I placed my order online, and it was ready at the specified time. Everything was so fresh, and so so delicious! The million dollar bacon is always a hit!
Great customer service as well.“

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