50 Best Coffee Shops near Sullivans Island

“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.“

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

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

“EVERYTHING = TODO! From the food and drinks, to the atmosphere, and the people :)“

“Best Java Chip Frappe I have ever had! We will absolutely be back to this coffee shop!“

“Love sightsee shop!!! The worst part about leaving Charleston was leaving sightsee.“

“Blūm is one of our favorite hidden gems downtown. A quiet, roomy coffee shop with plenty of space to spread out and get work done. The coffee is always delicious, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. We love meeting clients here because it’s easy to focus, and the parking situation (rare for downtown!) is super convenient. It’s the perfect mix of cozy and professional.“

“Amazing food! Great environment!“

“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 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!!! 😊“

“This is my favorite place to get coffee. I have also purchased beans from here. I make a point to stop here and support this business, the owner is truly kind, and the drinks are amazing. It is a quaint, quiet, shop in an unsuspecting plaza but I prefer it to all the other places in Charleston.“

“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!“

“The açaí bowl is very good. I didn’t realize a bowl and coffee would be over $20. The bowl was $15. Maybe this is common here, I’m not from here - but that seemed pricey to me. I will say it is absolutely loaded to the brim with yummy good stuff.

The coffee is your basic espresso drinks. I was not deeply impressed with the coffee, size option (only one), or flavor options.

The vibe was alright, they sell cute merch and tshirts but it wasn’t overly friendly, or really very friendly at all.“

“Absolutely love it here the staff is always kind and welcoming. That said, they really need to get an air filter. The strong smell of smoke and grease makes it hard to stay inside for long or get any work done comfortably. It’s a great place otherwise, but the air quality definitely needs improvement.“

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

“Favorite coffee Shop!! Love you guys!“

“The coffee is fantastic, the workers are very sweet, and it has the charm that only a local spot can. They even have a “pay it forward” where you buy a coffee for someone that meets the criteria you set like “firefighter” or “veteran”“

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

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

“Metto coffee and pastries are excellent.“

“My husband got the mint chocolate chip frappe and LOVED it! And he’s picky! I got the iced dirty chai tea latte with cold foam and I’ve had many before, and it was not great. Tasted like cinnamon watered down milk and didn’t get cold foam at all so wasn’t too thrilled given the price I paid for it.“

“Love Orange Spot so much!! Love the cha yen!! We love you Heather!!!���“

“Honestly the best coffee I’ve ever had—smooth, rich, and perfectly made. You can tell they care about every cup. The staff were wonderful: friendly, welcoming, and genuinely excited about what they do. The garden is so peaceful and beautiful that I completely lost track of time sitting out there with my laptop. Truly a hidden gem in Charleston.“

“Excellent customer service! Had an issue with my online order and they called right away to offer a refund or replacement. Oh and the food and coffee is great, too! Had the nut butter oatmeal, was not overly sweet which I prefer, and very filling! Would definitely recommend!“

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

“Stopped by Waflin for a quick dessert and was blown away! Their menu of waffle and ice cream treats is impressive, and the hazelnut waffle I tried was pure perfection—warm, crispy waffle paired with creamy, cold ice cream. The presentation was top-notch, like a little edible masterpiece. Got a chance to chat with the team, and their pride in their Turkish roots and craft really shines through. Absolutely recommend!“

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

“Harken was a great experience. The staff was friendly and enjoyed interacting with our baby daughter, which brought smiles all around. We had a delicious vanilla latte and an amazing fresh chocolate chip cookie. The ambiance was pleasant, with seating available inside and outside. Overall, I highly recommend Harken.“

“I went there the first time this morning! I have definitely been missing out but I will now become a regular customer. Awesome service! Great coffee! Delicious quiche. Just a great and relaxing atmosphere! Thanks for a great experience!“

“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.“

“Very cute beachy aesthetic and the staff were super friendly & easily answered my dietary questions. I'm very excited to have a closer coffee shop!

Their cinnamon roll is very good. Unfortunately the chai is almost straight milk & my sandwich was pretty burnt. I know they just opened up so I'm down to give them another shot in the future and maybe try something different from their menu.

I would also love to see the website menu get updated with food descriptions.“

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

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

“It was a nice surprise to find this shop with a big patio, it is Spring and the weather is cooler in the morning a good way to enjoy your first cup of coffee with the sounds of the birds. I enjoyed the coffee a lot!! If I'm in the area I'll be back“

“I visit Folly once a year so I'm sure this really does not really make a difference. My server ...young lady came to our table asking quickly what we would like. 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. This year I didn't buy a tee shirt and If next year I stop for a meal but probably not.“

“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 was amazing. I love the new set up!! The managers are always great. The service is always amazing I love to see the cashiers having fun and you can tell it’s a great place to work at. Tati took our order and suggested the new hummus wrap and boy was it fantastic!! -A forever Customer!!“

“A rarity among coffee shops! Good coffee and food but what sets it apart is the amazing space outside. More outdoor seating than any coffee shop I've seen and has a unique play area which makes this coffee shop great for families with kids! Sometimes you just want to unwind with a cup of food coffee while the kids run around this is the place.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Without exception, The Employees are very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. It is evident that they were are well trained.I enjoy the selection of quality products with some of them specialty local products for my consumption or for gifts(ie confectionery products) as well as a good assortment of sugar free items.There are very few, if any, cafes that are open past 9 pm that serve a really good quality cup of coffee…open 24hrs with a complete menu of available options (ie. Regular/Dark Roast/ Cappuccino/ Espresso/Cold Brew and a generous variety of cold fountain drinks). This is aside from the grocery products)Lastly, my experience is the produce is always fresh and of good quality.Great concept & incredibly convenient.“

“The Grasshopper Toast was an amazing blend of flavors!“

“We started buying coffee at Big Kick Coffee when our daughter lived in Charleston. Always stopped by the Market before leaving. Now we order online once a month. Best coffee ever!!“

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

“Absolutley Elegant place. Nice menu , friendly staff, good food & great service. The lady volinist playing there made our vist there so enjoyable! Well done!“

“To be honest you guys your so nice to me. Was incredable to spent those days there, what kind a goog family you have in work. I love it, welcome to Tanzania at Tembo Coffee Company. Thanks.“
