9 Best Coffee Shops near Elgin

“I come to this Starbucks several days a week. It’s by far my favorite. Chrissy and Anna are terrific and they have a wonderful staff. All are kind, considerate, courteous, and all about great service! They always help me get my day off to a great start!“

“Drinks are always great. Staff is friendly and well trained.“

“I had the pleasure of trying canal coffee for the first time yesterday and i’m so glad i did! First of all, the barista was super friendly and mega skilled! Best latte i’ve ever had! Great selection of flavors, not overly sweet, perfectly balanced. They even have a separate drive through for mobile pickups!! Highly recommend this shop! Can’t wait to try some of their non coffee options as well!“

“we have hosted our Lake Carolina book club there for the last 2 months. The treats and drinks have been amazing. The staff is so wonderful! they were helpful, friendly and quick. I can't wait to host more meetings at Light house“

“I live off of the peanut butter power protein smoothie! Customer service is on point!They are always quick and friendly!“

“Firstly, and really the only reason this didn't get 5 stars, is they're extremely slow. There's maybe 1-2 people working at a time, with one person taking orders and making drinks. I've gone there on a 30min lunch break and spend 20min of it waiting in line. The saving grace, however, is how nice and patient the staff are and how accurate the drinks, as well. They will have some stock issues, occasionally, but that goes for nearly every Starbucks. My only other complaint is that you can't place an order through the Starbucks app for this location - so no ordering ahead! And I really hate waiting in lines.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian food options and vegan milk options, as well.

Kid-friendliness: This location is in a Target.“

“Jay is an absolute gem at the Clemson Road, Columbia SC location! A true artist behind the espresso bar, blending creativity with top-tier customer service. He doesn’t just make drinks—he elevates them, offering clever tweaks that take your cup from “mm, nice” to “oh wow, FABULOUS.” If you’re stopping by this spot, do yourself a favor: ask for Jay. Your taste buds will thank you, and your day will instantly get brighter.“

“The young lady at the window was attentive. She noticed my ears were tearing due to allergies. She didn't ask any questions but handed me a napkin with a very kind smile, just in case.

And of course my latte was delish.“

“The wife wanted some Pho and holy shiitake this place was amazing. Pho was on point! Huge servings for a great price. Don’t waste your time and money finding other places. This is your new Pho-ever home. Also the staff is super chill. Kc was very polite and he even speaks multiple languages. We use to go downtown but that place has gone downhill. We’ve tried the Korean one in Lexington and even the new one off of the 26 and their broth is always hot garbage.“
