50 Best Coffee Shops near Folly Beach

“We are coming back to vacation here because the coffee and Avo toast is beyond stellar!! see you next week Dead Low!!!“

“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!“

“I got the grilled turkey, bacon, and swiss croissant and enjoyed it very much. Out of our group of 8, everyone said they enjoyed their meal. The atmosphere was family friendly and the servers were pleasant. Great place for lunch or dinner if you're in the Folly Beach area.“

Best coffee I’ve ever had, so flavorful and everything is made in house! I’ve never seen this before and it just added to the positive energy here! They are so so so sweet I can’t explain it! I haven’t come across a coffee shop this amazing!“

“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🍷💯“

“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!“

“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!“

“I’ve been here a few times when I’ve come to visit my family in the Charleston area. The owner is the most delightful person to talk with. She puts her heart and soul in every single coffee concoction she comes up with. Her drinks are hands down the best in the Charleston area and I cannot wait to come back down to visit again from Greenville. Jack 🙄 below does not know good coffee, obviously. I hope to see you very soon! ✨☕“

“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!“

“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🌴🪴🌺🍍🍌🍓“

“ALEC IS THE BEST!!! Amazing ownership and staff, great food, great atmosphere! 10/10 recommend. We were looking at so many places for vegetarian options and they were the only place in all of Shem creek area that had actual protein filled food for a vegetarian. Amazing“

“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.“

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

“Beardcat’s has ruined my life. Now that I’ve had their Olive Oil & Sea Salt ice cream, no other ice cream will ever compare. I paired it with the honeycomb and it was like an explosion of deliciousness in my mouth. Utterly phenomenal.“

“We had a wonderful visit to The Mudhouse! This cozy coffee shop has such a warm, inviting atmosphere and a great local vibe. The coffee was excellent—fresh, rich, and clearly made with care—and there were plenty of tasty drink options to choose from.

The space itself is comfortable and charming, making it a great spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get a bit of work done. We also really enjoyed the friendly staff, who made us feel welcome right away.

If you’re looking for a great local coffee shop with character and quality drinks, The Mudhouse is definitely worth a stop. We’d happily come back again!“

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

“When we travel to Charleston from WV we always visit WildFlour Pastry for a Hot chai and raspberry scone. 😋 This week was my daughters 21st Birthday so of course we went to WildFlour and purchased a Red Velvet Cake to celebrate. It was delicious!! The staff was very helpful and pleasant! Thank you for helping me to make my daughters birthday memorable! 🎂 🎈 Love from WV!“

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

“I stumbled upon this place recently and I'm obsessed!!
We were greeted upon entry with friendly faces and they were very accommodating.
I tried the black sesame cardamom latte and was pleasantly surprised! I love that their syrups are homemade.
The bonus 🌟s for service comes from the beautiful latte art and the sweet faces that the barista drew on my kid's steamer 'coffees'.
The breakfast sandwich and every quiche we've had here is divine! I love the garlic aoili on the sandwich, something fairly small with a big impact.
I especially love the outdoor area. It's all gated in and perfect for parents to drink coffee while the kids play.
Overall, we can't wait to return!“

“I’ve walked by this place SO many times and decided to pop in one evening with a hankering for ice cream. When you walk in they had so much to offer - from ice cream to local goodies, t shirts, novelties and homemade baklava. They had a good variety of ice cream flavors and I settled on their chocolate mocha which was delicious! The guys behind the counter were so nice and noticed I was in the food and beverage industry and offered me a 10% discount which was very nice.
This place definitely caught me by surprise and I find it to be a really cool local spot right by the market.
I am looking forward to coming back!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“Beautiful tea experience for my granddaughters and so accommodating with their food allergies. Excellent staff and adorable atmosphere! Highly recommend Delicious and lovely!“

“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!“

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

“What a gem. Stopped off on our way down to Folly. We had the breakfast sandwich on sourdough, hashbrown, 2 glazed donuts and 2 vanilla latte's. Everything was excellent and good vibes in the place. Look forward to returning and trying lunch. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped into Vintage Coffee Cafe during a road trip and it was the perfect little find. The weather was beautiful so we grabbed a table outside and it could not have been a better setting for a relaxed breakfast. Service was good, the coffee was great and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The fruit bowl was generous and fresh. Such a charming spot and a great stop if you are passing through Mount Pleasant. Would absolutely pop in again next time we are in the area.“

“*Southern vibes only* What a gem for the Charleston area! Jennie-Ann was the definition of southern hospitality, that cinnamon roll is a must (forget your diet, forget your gluten allergy, take extra insulin - it's worth it.) biscuits and gravy made that melt your heart, shrimp and grits perfect cook and amazing flavor. My friend said she could eat the Mediterranean omelette every day of her life. And for extra point they use the McDonald's straws so you get the perfect amount of coke in every sip.🥰🤤🥹“

“Plenty of delicious vegan options for my son!“

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

“Had to wait in a short line, but the owner let us know right away. I loved the transparency. It was a cool spot to hangout in and watch the nitrogen ice cream being made right in front of our eyes. The ice cream was to die for! I can’t wait to come back!“

“I’m working in Charleston for the summer, and I stopped in for the first time this morning and absolutely loved it! The owner was so kind and wonderful to talk with. I ordered the Collegian Loaded Tea and it was amazing. I can’t wait to come back again soon!“
