50 Best Coffee Shops near Sullivans Island

“Tried the watermelon lime & coconut sorbet & pistachio gelato. All were very flavorful & the farthest thing from artificial tasting. The watermelon tasted exactly like the real thing. You can tell they get their ingredients locally sourced!“

“Best egg salad sandwich on earth!!’ Kids love the ham sandwiches. We picnicked last Sunday on IOP and picked up lunch! Easy peasy!! Fix the ice cream machine!!!!“

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

“Great coffee and amazing sweets and conversation. Thanks for making us feel welcome while visiting Charleston.“

“Excellent coffee excellent service“

“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!“

“We loved the coffee, great service, and cool merchandise we happen to discover as we walked around our hotel neighborhood and stumbled upon Bitty and Beau’s coffee shop.
I can’t wait to wear my new shirts at the beginning of the school year. It was a pleasure to talk about my hometown (Buffalo) and the Bills as we waited for our drinks. I’ve never heard of this shop before, but I am a huge fan of the coffee, the values, and the good vibes.“

“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.“

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

“Super cute store, very kind staff, and great treats! The seasonal menu is great and I love the banana bread latte. It’s great how they host events like book trades and candle making!! how cute?! a little bit pricy but i’m happy to support local small businesses when I can!!“

“This place is AMAZING!! Healthy, huge portions, great prices, fast-friendly service, and an overall fun vibe!“

“Favorite coffee Shop!! Love you guys!“

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

“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.“

“I had europen breakfast here ( cappuccino + croissant...)
Really good the pan au chocolate was very good and the little croissant with apples good too , the cappuccino was well made ....
This is little bar but they do nice things and very good quality .“

“Wanted to sample some new beans for home brewing-the owner recommended the Nicaraguan roast-and wow-a favorite already! Will be back to sample some other varieties and support local. Appreciate the laid back, homey vibe and the beans are quality-which is right up my alley.“

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

“I absolutely love this place. Unlike other places, they have plenty of seating, nice relaxing music that isn't so loud you can't hear your friends talk, friendly service, great coffee (and snacks, etc.). A great local business that I enthusiastically support!“

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

“What a great spot. We sat at the raw bar and had a fully curated experience led by Nick. He shucked his way through the various oyster options while giving us a description of all the varieties. Not only did he shock close to 300 oysters while we sat there but multitasked a thorough description of the options while we sipped on some of the best cocktails in town. The Bad John is something all patrons need to try. To chat with a Nova Scotian local who can talk up the best oysters in the Carolina’s was such a fresh surprise.11/10. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.“

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

“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!“

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

“The pastry chef here knows her stuff! Several gluten free options and they are all delicious ( from our selections) !! The staff is friendly, and there is a real hometown feel to the coffee shop. The menu is full great options that are healthy and sweets as well. Good coffee and chia tea too.

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

“Just go here. Do it. The people that work here are so nice, the coffee is fresh and probably the best we had on our trip, and our kids destroyed the pastries (homemade pop tarts were a hit). 10/10 coming back next time we're in town.“

“Great coffee, and I loved that they were giving spotlight to local small businesses and artists inside!“

“Community Perk has become my go to coffee shop! They recently added some new pastries and breakfast sandwiches that are delicious - definitely try the donuts and the biscuit sandwich. The people who work there are really friendly and helpful too.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“My husband, Skip, and I popped a bottle of Dom Pérignon, for NYE, and I had two glasses... I do not usually go so wild. But, after my crazy night, I needed a little pick-me-up. I decided to try this new "Point Break." I went to the drive-through, and the most LOVELY and STUNNING young girl took my order. She said her name was "Mary Catherine." She was very sweet. She answered all my questions about the menu with ease. Clearly well-studied. I got a "Mochiatto", suggested by Miss Mary Catherine. It was delicious and was perfect to cure these New Year's Morning willies! LOL!! I will definitely be back to this establishment.“

“I love this coffee shop, they care about their beans a lot. My only wish is that they used local milk, you can’t beat that flavor. If they used local milk it would be my favorite in Charleston, however, even so, I continue to go back. The service is phenomenal and the people who work here are lovely. Oh and they also have the best quiche I’ve had in Charleston.“

“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!“

“The food is amazing! Can’t get enough! And the butters - ermagurd!!“

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

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

“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!!“

“Service and atmosphere is amazing, the pastries and coffee are always solid, the food can be hit or miss as its a bit on the sweet side sometimes could use spice or salt , and the quiche texturally has been a bit strange from time to time with the occasional charred cheese on top but never terrible.“

“You would think that paying 300$+ a nite would get you free coffee in the lobby, but alas not at the Tides. Heck I gotten free coffee for overnight guests for hundred less. So roasted, is a kind generic Starbucks on site. You can get your coffee or any type of special drinks, expect a line as 5-8 folks each morning was the norm. The staff ranged from very friendly to barely speaking, but its on site and coffee and limited snacks in the coffee/gift shop are available.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“⭐️ Jessi is awesome!!! ⭐️ Sweetest and best personality to run the front! Anyone would be so lucky to have them represent their establishment!“

“Best ice cream I’ve had in a very long time. Going to be hard to top but we try new places wherever we go! Cookie dough and cookies and cream were awesome!“

“I go to this place like 2-3 times or more a week. Che, one of the baristas (I think that's the right term...lol) is a jack of all trades, she is very well equipped to make everything on the menu and almost any other thing you ask. She is pleasant and willing to make customers exactly what they want. PJs is definitely on top of my list!“

“Monday morning - no drive through, but it was VERY busy but their staff was killin it. Elliot helped us at the counter, while pouring coffee and preparing the orders for food. We waited maybe 5 mins and I was impressed with how they worked because there were so many drink and togo orders. Great job 👏🏽“

“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.“
