Brubaker’s Café & Bakery is, without question, one of South Carolina’s true gems. From the moment you walk through the door, the team greets you with warmth, genuine hospitality, and the kind of attentive service that makes you feel like a regular. The food is consistently outstanding. Every pastry, sandwich, and baked treat is crafted with care, intention, and real culinary joy. But the star of the show? The coffee! Brubaker’s roasts their own beans in-house. Rich, balanced, aromatic, and is hands down the best coffee in South Carolina. A local treasure with quality and heart in everything they do. Highly, highly recommended!

Loved the sourdough cinnamon roll topped with mounds of cream cheese and their house made dark chocolate cocoa! Friendly staff. Very new business come support as they evolve.

Stopped this morning after church. Breakfast bowls were literally just egg, bacon, and tomato. No seasoning. No potatoes, no mushrooms. And my mom’s came with a long hair in it. Yuck. 🤢 🤮 Took 20 minutes to get our food and was $30 for two bowls and a breakfast bagel.

I used to be a fan a couple of years ago, but today I went after not having coffee for 2 months so excited to get the good stuff and was so disappointed. I honestly think today was the worst cup of coffee I’ve ever had. First off, it was nearly $8 for a regular sized coffee which is insane, but I can get over that. My husband comes out and there’s no caramel on the sides of the cup or even on the bottom of the cup. Just plain white milk. So my husband went in to get some added to it. He comes out and I take a sip and the caramel is just straight paste. It was gritty, thick, and the texture was like the sauce had been sitting and broke. I understand they make their own caramel, but you can’t have your caramel tasting like thick gritty paste. At that point you might as well buy the bottle. It honestly made me gag the texture was awful. So my husband had to drink it which he was not happy about and he went to get me a coffee from somewhere else. I really hate to say it because I know the owners are local, but I seriously truly believe that is the worst coffee I’ve ever had. Idk what happened, but the caramel was just awful. The price point was also really bad, but again if it was really good I could try to justify it, maybe not to my husband lol but to myself. Instead, I was left out $8, horrible coffee, and spending money to get something else. I think they need to go back to the drawing board on their caramel syrup because it’s def not syrup it’s paste.
