Ordered coffee...I asked from across our table of 4 may I have cream with a straight face no smile picked up the creamer and slapped it front of me. Here it is As if to say are you blind . Very rude.

The to-go fridge was fully stocked with beautifully vibrant meals, snacks, and healthy beverages. Everything looked delicious. A huge plus, they have plenty of parking! Needless to say i will be back regularly.“

Thank you Johns Island Nutrition!“

“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!“

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

“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!!! 😊“

“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.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend the espresso martinis!!! Sonny’s customer service is phenomenal and our drinks were too! Highly recommend! 🙌🏼“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Very unassuming from the outside, we actually almost skipped it just based off looks. So glad we decided to stay. Everything we ordered was amazing. I had the breakfast burrito with turkey sausage and my husband had a French toast sandwich. The side of fruit was actual good fruit and not mediocre honeydew like many places. Perfect stop for brunch after visiting the angel tree and tea garden.“

“We wanted to try your coffee due to recommendations from YouTuber Ryan Trahan and his wife Haley!! Your coffee is amazing! We purchased the cold brew and spiced dirty chia. We are from Austin, Texas and happen to be here on vacay!!“
