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 :)“

“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!!! 😊“

“We discovered this little gem today while in Pittsburgh strip district, the staff and coffee were both fabulous. We can’t wait to go back. 😊🧡😊“

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

“Amazing food! Great environment!“

“Favorite coffee Shop!! Love you guys!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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”“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“A charming, authentic coffee shop in Charleston’s historic district. The coffee is of good quality. The design is very simple, but bright and clean. It’s a bit cramped, but the great coffee makes up for it. I recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great coffee shop. Owners super friendly. Vintage clothing, hats, boots, etc. Coffee and matcha tea on point, served in retro glasses.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“Best coffee hands down in charleston
I had always considered myself as someone who didnt like coffee but prophet changed that real quick
Great owners and an amazing barista staff
With a great drink and food menu and fun specials that are always delicious“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“This has been our favourite coffee place in Mount Pleasant with kids. The playground in the garden is great...and so is the service and high quality cappuccino.
If we ever come back to the Charleston area, this place would be our favourite spot for starting the day with a good coffee.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“We stopped by Waflin Quick Shop after spotting a photo of their desserts on the door and we’re glad we did! We ordered chocolate-covered strawberries made fresh to order, just the way we like them. So yummy!

The shop itself is a bit of a hodgepodge with a quirky mix of items, but the desserts definitely stood out. A fun little find for a sweet treat!“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“If you are fortunate enough to get Jackson, you are lucky! He was so patient with me and my friend. We had never been there and had many questions. I changed my order 3 times and he didn’t blink an eye. If you are reading this Jackson: THANK YOUUUUUU!
PS: the drinks and food were delicious!!! A++“

“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.“

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

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