12 Best Cafes near Fountain Inn

“I go to this shop regularly and it is always a pleasant experience. The family there is always friendly, kind and helpful. Maria does a fantastic job of baking delicious, colorful treats and I am always happy to see her and her parents and the lovely young people who assist you. I guess it would be right to say that I love to go there.“

“My husband found this shop and it has been the best find!!! We love the cinnamon rolls and Apple fritters - they are to die for!! Not only sooo fresh but large and truly the best we have had! He loves talking with the woman behind the counter. She is delightful!!“

“This is quickly becoming Fraser Roofing LLC's favorite go to fuel stop before we go help homeowners! Their claim to have the world's best coffee is hard to argue (& this coming from a coffee snob 😆) Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & 👍👍“

“Great place to sit with friends.“

“it just a beautiful place cozy friendly staff good food a relaxing place to eat and visit enjoy going there“

“Always worth stopping to get food even if there is a line you can't beat the prices $1 for a sundae or a soft pretzel nothing on the menu is more than $2.50 besides a whole pizza which is only $8.98. the staff are always friendly and hard working.

The lines are normally long during typical meal times and can take awhile due to the low number of staff in the cafe but they do keep the lines moving.

I tried scan & go for the cafe for the first today and it was really simple and did shorting my wait time though there was still a line for the scan & go as well. It correctly noted that the chocolate yogurt was out and wouldn't let me order it. It also lets you scan the self serve items and pay them with your cafe order.

Over all it was a fantastic experience as always good quality food that is one of the highlights of a Sam's club run.“

“I’m glad I decided to try First Watch. I usually eat at Eggs up or Waffle House. This was a pleasant experience. The service was perfect, and the food delicious. I will definitely be returning.“

“Best fresh breakfast sandwiches made with local meats, amazing doughnuts with fresh Bavarian cream…. Making this place a regular stop from now on!!“

“We visited for the first time today & were quite impressed ~ I suspect we will become big fans! We went to their charter location, now one of five locations; the variety in tasty offerings, as well great artisan-made organic skin & health concoctions, along with jewelry, pottery, & leather goods were quite unexpected. Highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Update:

I am highly impressed with how this situation and we were handled. Shout out to Chris who is over 13 stores and made sure this became a teaching moment and a moment to sit down face to face with everyone involved. If only we could do this in the world we would be in a better place as the human race. Panera will not be losing us as customers and I'm sure all the stores he is over will find themselves better because of his leadership. I decided to keep the original review because how a company handle issues shows character and builds trust for the brand

THIS is what passes for “customer service” at Panera Bread on Woodruff Rd????

My husband walked in to pick up a PREPAID order of bagels for his job.This was an order he stepped in to grab because someone else couldn’t, and somehow ended up being treated like a suspect instead of a customer.
And let’s be very clear about how this unfolded:
The first employee he spoke to had no issue at all.
He gave the name, and everything was moving exactly as it should.
Then an older white female stepped in and suddenly everything changed.
Suddenly he was a “scammer.”
Suddenly he needed to “call the person who ordered it.”
Suddenly the proof in his hand wasn’t enough.
Same MAN DRESSED IN A SHIRT WITH THE COMPANY LOGO. Same order. Same proof.
Different reaction.

This handome, beautiful spirited, kind BLACK AND PUERTO RICAN man who always wants the best for everyone is a husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, grandson, friend, mentor, leader, a man of God, and a pastor. His reputation of service to others is phenomenal! He is the kind of man who speaks to everyone, holds doors for others, and will help a stranger without hesitation.
And even in that moment of being profiled over something already PAID FOR he did not get loud, did not get rude, did not become angry( how yall LOVE TO STEREOTYPE PEOPLE OF COLOR)

He bit his tongue! Stayed calm! Showed restraint!
And waited while your employee decided whether he was “worthy” of receiving an order that was already paid for!!!!

That right there is the problem.
Because when a man can do EVERYTHING right, come prepared, be respectful, be calm and YET STILL be treated like he doesn’t belong...
That’s not confusion.
That’s not policy.
That’s bias! That’s profiling! That’s racism!

Panera Bread please explain to us why did one employee see a customer, and another see a threat?
What kind of environment allows that kind of bias to show up so comfortably?
And what are you going to do to make sure this doesn’t keep happening?
Because today it was my husband a man who chose grace when he didn’t have to!
But let’s be clear 🗣🎙 HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PUT IN THAT POSITION TO BEGIN WITH!

DO BETTER! BecAUSE HE DESERVES BETTER! WE ALL DO!

SICK OF IT!“

“Panera is one of my go-to spots whenever I’m looking for a quick, fresh meal. Every visit has been a great experience. The food is always fresh, the bakery items are delicious, and there’s a great variety of options no matter what you’re in the mood for. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the service is always efficient. Whether I’m grabbing breakfast, lunch, or just a coffee, Panera never disappoints. Definitely a place I’ll continue coming back to! 🥪🥗☕“
