50 Best Coffee Shops near Folly Beach

“You will not find a better coffee shop in the greater Charleston area. Efficiently run local business with friendly and creative baristas. Even if you aren’t staying on Folly it’s worth the drive to start your day right with a dead low coffee and a deep breath of salt air.“

“Grab a Starbucks coffee and take a stroll on the beach.

The spot’s cute and small with a nice beach view, but don’t expect too many places to sit. It's perfect for grabbing a quick coffee (definitely not a place to set up shop with your laptop).

They've got the usual Starbucks coffee at the same prices, but fewer food options.

Parking can be a pain around here, but if you're staying at the hotel, you're good to go.

Honestly, not much else to say—5 stars because it's a solid, reliable Starbucks if you're a fan!“

“First time to Folly Beach. Found Center Street Coffee right away. Best blueberry scone ever and my mocha latte was phenomenal! Highly recommend.“

“We loved our breakfast at Lost Dog Café in Folly Beach! I had the biscuits and gravy with a side of cheesy grits — both were absolutely delicious and comforting. The kids got the happy pancakes, which were a huge hit and so fun with the fruit face design. My wife had the traditional breakfast, and everything came out hot, fresh, and perfectly cooked.

The cozy, laid-back atmosphere and friendly staff made it such an enjoyable start to the day. Definitely a must-visit breakfast spot when you’re in Folly Beach!“

“excellent taste and service today. prices could be lowered but other than that delicious.“

“😃 great well-crafted coffee drinks with fresh pastries.“

“Amazing food! Great environment!“

“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!!! 😊“

“Welcoming, energetic employees and wonderful coffee! Blaise’s handshakes and smile are top notch! Thanks for a wonderful experience each and every visit! ❤️❤️❤️“

“We adored this place! We accidentally found the downtown Charleston location during our stay there at a close AirBNB! We visited 3 times in our 2.5 days there. Then, we passed by the John’s Island location on our way to Kiawah and decided to make the 25 min drive the next morning for our coffee and pop tart fix! Great coffee, service, pastries, toasts and local drink and food finds!“

“Coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, matcha, chai, beer and wine being served till 9 pm! Blum Coffee and Wine Bar is a lifesaver for folks that need their caffeine fix later on. Sun and Mon for now is till 5 pm. The bartender after 5 pm will make your specialty coffee drink and on a cold day that's just what everyone needs. Pastries are fresh and delicious too. Blum has a killer happy hour too.“

“Hipster joint in the North King area. Hipster who handed us menu’s at the bar “We’re a Rum forward bar”. Absolutely need the oyster sliders in your life. We had 6 between the two of us.“

“I love frequenting coffee shops and I always have my top 3 to my top 5. second state coffee is part of my top five coffee shops to go when i'm in deep in downtown. I also frequent blum coffee when i'm inowntown on the meeting street side and Kudu. to get some work done or if i'm looking for a huge place, then blum coffee, it is. Second state again had good service today.And good coffee“

“Favorite coffee Shop!! Love you guys!“

“Love the location and has plenty of parking. We had iced and hot chai and it was delicious!“

“Best coffee in Charleston! It’s delicious, smooth and wakes you up! Many of the newer shops popping up have very bitter coffee. You can tell the coffee at cooper river is carefully sourced and the owner is very knowledgeable! When we go in, it’s one person making the drinks (owner?) and you can tell its quality over volume. 10/10 recommend!“

“Stayed upstairs at an AirBB and had our first lunch there. Service, food and portions were amazing. Great selections of beer, wine and other beverages plus Italian delicacies. Highly recommend a visit to Daniela’s Downtown🍷💯“

“Warm and welcoming atmosphere“

“This coffee shop and Blum in downtown are my 2 absolute favorite coffee shops of all time. I am really drawn to the outside.Nice patio area both have and just the plants obviously both have all around. I love when coffee shops have plants inside the interior area. the quiche is really good, and the coffee is really, really good as well and the service is friendly. i've made it a routine to come here and then also frequent the other one in downtown because they're only fifteen minutes away from each other.. Like this, I don't get bored. The blueberry muffin here is the lish as well. My friends and I will definitely be returning“

“Fun staff and great environment. Went for a girls night and already looking forward to coming back. 🙌🏼“

“Huriyali Gardens cafe in Charleston, SC, offers an enchanting garden vibe with lush greenery. The iced coffee and smoothies are great and the outdoor seating feels like a secret oasis, perfect for relaxing. They also allow dogs on the patio and the food is locally sourced as well!! 10/10🌴🪴🌺🍍🍌🍓“

“Jessica and the baristas were super friendly and welcoming, the whole place was really clean and inviting. The coffee was delicious, exactly what you would want from a coffee shop. I also tried the blueberry muffin (so good and fresh) and the espresso martini.

The espresso martini was next level. Easily one of the best I’ve had. Definitely recommend stopping here if you’re in Charleston.“

“We stopped in for breakfast at Bodega, and it was the perfect way to start our day before heading to the beach. I ordered The Cow and hands down — it’s the best breakfast sammie I’ve had outside of a Long Island deli. Paired it with a caramel and vanilla latte that was just as good. My wife had the Bodega Platter with a Samoa’ That latte, and everything was spot on.

The team was incredibly kind and helpful, creating a laid-back atmosphere filled with families and well-behaved dogs. It felt like the kind of place you want to hang out for a while.

On a marketing side note — their branding is awesome. As someone who works in marketing, I was seriously impressed with their apparel, especially the socks. I couldn’t not buy a hat. Huge kudos to their branding and marketing team. Great food, great people, and a great vibe.“

“Metto coffee and pastries are excellent.“

“I just had the best tuna melt of my life at Spread in Mount Pleasant.“

“My favorite coffee shop in Charleston county. The staff are efficient and friendly. The coffee tastes delicious! It’s always roasted perfectly and displayed with beauty. Parking is plentiful. Treat yourself to a “dandy”. It’s the best coffee drink I’ve ever tasted.“

“This was probably the best coffee we had in Charleston! I absolutely recommend stopping in here. While prices are not listed, it's basically the same you would pay at any other coffee shop, but you will have an amazing drink! It's absolutely worth stopping in! It only took a couple minutes for both drinks. 1,000% recommend!“

“My boyfriend and I stopped here after I told him DO NOT take me to Charleston and stop at a Starbucks! 😂 he was so glad I found this coffee shop, which was 4 mins away from the Starbucks. I believe he had one of the energy boosting drinks, which I had a sip of and it was amazing. I don’t even like those normally, but I would buy it on a hot afternoon. I had the Salty Cowboy. I was nervous ordering it hot, because it sounded better cold, but I prefer hot coffee 24/7. It was the best latte I’ve ever had. I’m in Charlotte, so I took note of the flavors to make it at home. I’m sure it won’t taste quite the same, but I NEED that latte every morning now!!!! I would’ve never thought of those flavors for a latte but wow, I’ll remember that one for years.

Also- I am a coffee lover, not a syrup lover. So if you’re worried this latte is too sickly, it is not. It was the perfect balance of coffee, sea salt, coconut and caramel. I also added a pinch of sea salt and cinnamon to the top of mine. I felt this latte was amazing, because the flavors went so well with the espresso. 13/10. I was talking about it all weekend!“

“Absolutely love Vintage Coffee! The staff is next-level friendly and genuinely makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. And the breakfast burrito? Hands down one of the best I’ve had— perfectly made every time. This place is a gem and a must-stop if you’re anywhere nearby. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I visited this cafe as I work for Carnival and Charleston is our current homeport. I enjoyed the coffee so much that I stocked up on the beans and brought them back to the UK for my family to enjoy. Thank you!“

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

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

“A truly amazing incredible coffee shop. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is chill, clean and fits the James Island and Folly surfer vibes. There are plenty of places to sit with free WiFi. The food is great quality, tastes great and clean. There’s a beer and wine bar as well. Highly recommend.“

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

“We adored this place! We accidentally found the downtown Charleston location during our stay there at a close AirBNB! We visited 3 times in our 2.5 days there.

Great coffee, service, pastries, toasts and local drink and food finds!“

“We stopped in to try their waffles and honestly loved it. The waffle was fresh and perfectly crispy, and pairing it with Turkish coffee made the whole experience even better. Everything tasted high quality and thoughtfully prepared. Such a great spot for dessert and coffee (not only Turkish coffee) definitely recommend checking it out!“

“This place is fantastic. Happened to be setting by the owner, and got to meet him, along with his colleagues. Such nice people. And the food was top notch. When you go, try the blueberry ghost pepper jam. However they make it, it just works.“

“A lovely place to get a drink and a bagel. The baristas are friendly and the coffee is medium roast. They're not trying to put hair on your chest. Bonus: the bathrooms are pristine and smell of mango.“

“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!!“

“Really delicious gelato. They have lots of flavors as well as gluten and dairy free options. They have premade ice cream sandwiches with homemade cookies, I bought one to save for later and I’m glad I did. They also have t-shirts, candles and dried pasta for sale as well. Will definitely be back.“

“Service was fast! The drinks and food were incredible. I’m a guy with a big appetite and the sandwich was very filling. I was impressed the quality of the biscuit, the egg, and the added bacon (extra thick!!)

Great aesthetic too. Top tier Cafe, absolutely.“

“One of THE best gelatos you will ever have!! Will visit again“

“Super Delicious breakfast in a cozy laid-back Atmosphere!!!“

“Got some whole beans from my sister! Awesome coffee!!“

“Does the fact that I go to Mercantile and Mash 4 days a week speak to any admiration I may have for it? 😂“

“They are BUSY! Although we had a pretty long wait, the food was very good! Everyone in our party liked their bagels/breakfast sandwiches. Cute little place. I would return. I do wish it would’ve been less crowded, but they do good business!“

“I wouldn’t call myself a Starbucks regular, but when I decide to treat my family, this is always the location I choose. The atmosphere here feels warm and refined — consistently clean, beautifully organized, and inviting. The team members are genuinely friendly and carry themselves with a quiet professionalism that elevates the entire experience.

Each visit feels unhurried and pleasant, a small indulgence that reminds me why this location stands above the rest.“

“The best empanadas, ice cream and customer service!! We love the beef and ham/cheese flavors.“

“Clean, nice staff. Free wifi…very quiet.“
