“THE SWEETEST MOST GENIUNE PEOPLE!! Coffee was absolutely delicious and they asked us to taste our order to make sure it was to our liking in case they needed to adjust the flavors. 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!“

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!!! 😊“

“I had a wonderful time escaping the midday heat in this coffee shop on a birthday stroll! 🥳 the barista was so sweet and made me a delicious cinnamon latte that I will never forget! She was able to answer questions and make recommendations, which is always appreciated. Thank you for making my birthday special!“

“The Washington Cafe is seriously a whole vibe 🤎 My latte was so good, and our treats were amazing too—everything just felt fresh, intentional, and made with care. But what really stood out to me was the atmosphere. The space is beautiful, peaceful, and full of culture. It’s one of those places you walk into and instantly feel at ease. Huge shoutout to Peter Washington III for creating something so special—you can truly feel the heart behind it. If you’re in the Charleston/Mount Pleasant area, definitely stop by. I’ll for sure be back ✨“

Gray and Kat took time to come out and chat with us- a true customer connection!!! Def recommend Just Love for a GREAT coffee and customer experience!“

“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 visited Isles of Palm from GA and this was our go-to breakfast/coffee everyday. Hands down THE best cold brew and muffins I’ve ever had. We tried a lot of their different coffees but, the chunky monkey is a must if you come here!“

“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!“

“Visiting from out of town (NC) and must say this was a 10/10, no notes. The carrot cake was amazing, I loved my latte and the recommendations from the baristas. Lastly, it’s BEAUTIFUL IN THERE!!!! Make this your next coffee spot stop!“

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

“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! ✨☕“

“Absolutely 💯 💯 💯 We pride ourselves on finding the perfect breakfast spot any time we are out of town... and Vicious Biscuit did not disappoint 🙌“

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

“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!“

“I’m a regular and honestly this last review doesn’t sound like the place I know. It’s pretty common for it to go from empty to busy in a matter of minutes.

I’ve never had anyone be rude to me here, and my drinks have always been solid. If something was wrong, they’ve always been willing to fix it.

Just sharing another perspective since this felt a bit exaggerated.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This neighborhood gem is one of my favorite places in Charleston. Do yourself a favor and stop in today for insanely good coffee, grab a bite to eat and meet the loveliest people.“

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

“Metto coffee and pastries are excellent.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“Great place to WFH. The atmosphere is so lovely. Currently sitting here and the baristas are laughing and enjoying their work, they have upbeat music playing in the background, the coffee shop is bright while keeping the AC at a great temp. It has truly been a lovely space to spend my afternoon and I feel very thankful a place like this is located so close to my home. Thank you Point break for your lovely shop!“

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

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

“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.“

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