This place was packed when we stopped in but we were able to stand at a table. I think it's a good place to grab a coffee and go. I ordered online for pickup and it was ready pretty quick. I got the matcha latte to drink and was pretty disappointed. It just tasted like a cup of milk. My boyfriend got the peanut coffee and really liked it though! I tasted it and it had a smooth, creamy, peanut flavor. If you get anything here, I urge you to get the banana bread! It was absolutely amazing. It was hot, fluffy, and flavorful. It was buttery and had a bit of salt on it to balance the flavor.
Another spot where you can expect to wait a while, but it's well worth it. Everything on the menu sounded enticing. I landed on the Peanut Drink and Banana Bread. Do not miss either! And make sure you get the banana bread warmed with butter. The Peanut Drink is unlike any coffee you've ever had, I promise. Don't be discouraged by the line, just carefully review the menu and go back and forth on what you'll get 100 times like me. Oh and people watch :) Don't miss Babas!
My favorite spot by far on our Charleston itinerary; my only regret is that our trip was so short that we did not have time for a second visit. Their banana bread had been recommended to me as a must-try but after a quick glance at the menu, I wanted to try at least five other things. First things first: the banana bread. 10/10. If you leave here without getting a slice warmed up with butter, you're doing yourself a serious disservice. It didn't even taste like banana bread but had the texture of a soft eggy French toast. I was so entranced with it that I managed to squirrel away half for the next day. Also got their jammy eggs because I'm an egg fiend. They were delicious, topped with chives and some chili crisp, but $7 for two eggs in this economy was a little hard to swallow. Next time I'm here, I'd want to try the quiche and the pickled shrimp toast. And they also have peanut milk?? Tucked away on a side street off the much busier King, Babas can be easy to miss but wow - talk about treasures coming in tiny sizes. There's some indoor seating and outdoor tables but don't bank on getting a table right away if you're coming on a weekend morning. The line moves quickly so we didn't mind waiting.
Wow. 5 Easy stars for a coffee shop with exceptional espresso based drinks, inventive dishes, and a perfect ambiance. Plus, unpretentious staff! First up, order at the counter and don't miss out on asking to try their house made peanut milk to add to your espresso drink. It's divine! I also got the pickled shrimp salad- beautiful full lettuce leaves with a sharp vinaigrette featuring mustard seeds and shallots, pickled shrimp, and avocado. It's a winner! Also- you MUST order the toasted banana bread. It comes with plenty of butter soaked in and crispy exterior. The espresso itself is fragrant and had a beautiful flavor profile. Next time I'll get it on its own to really savor it! The staff- LOVELY. So helpful and unpretentious and an ambiance that makes you want to stay. 10/10
Went here for breakfast, it was just average. - Peanut mocha 2/5 - didn't know what to expect from this but it tastes like peanut butter. So make sure you like peanut butter before getting this. I liked the first sip but then it got to be too much. - Matcha latte 2/5 - too milky for my preference. - Quiche 3/5 - pretty good, basic quiche - Ricotta toast 2/5 - not for me. ricotta tasted off to me and I didn't like the spice on it Went around 9:30am on a weekday and there was a line, definitely a bit of a wait so don't come if you're looking for a quick grab and go. Good amount of seats open.
This cafe was so cute and cozy on a rainy day. They were very busy, and for good reason. Their specialty is home made peanut milk and a peanut latte. It was such a unique flavor, I really enjoyed it. We got a variety of items to try. A peanut latte, a dirty chai, a pumpkin cake loaf, and deviled jammy eggs. Everything we tried was delicious. This place is definitely worth the hype.
Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Limited seating inside and outside but it seems like a hot spot! Their sandwiches and salads looked amazing as I saw them going out but I thoroughly enjoyed my cortado with their house made syrup. The vibe is lively and it seemed like a good place for a date, to study or grab something to go. I look forward to coming back to try their food!
Might be one of the best Matcha's in Charleston. This coffee shop seems to be a staple here, because the line was down the street. Service was pretty quick and the line moves fast.
I don't even know how to rate Babas on Cannon. Just WOW! 11/10 for creative drinks. My husband got a macchiato espresso, which is just a basic drink, but he loved it. I ordered the peanut drink because I had never heard of anything close to it. Usually when I order a special or flavored coffee, I don't like them and only drink about half before throwing it out. This blew my mind. It was like a Reese's in a coffee. Think sipping chocolate, but Reese's style. That drink isn't just good, it's unforgettable. I didn't order any food, but I looked around and it looked really good as well. I highly recommend making a point to stop here in Charleston.
We were on the hunt for a great coffee shop in Charleston and we want to know where the locals go... Well, Babas on Cannon is it! We arrived around 9:30am on a Thursday and the place was already bustling with a line out the door. It looked like many people were just coming from yoga/working out or were just out & about running errands. Luckily the line moved quick and were were able to place our order at the counter in under 10 minutes. After doing a little research, we discovered that the drink to get is their signature whipped honey espresso. It's not on the menu, so you have to know to ask for it, or as the staff says... #IYKYK. It's a layered, multi-textured espresso beverage with whipped espresso, crushed ice, and honey oat milk. It did not disappoint and was a unique take on a traditional iced coffee with a velvety texture. It was not overly sweet either which I appreciated. We only came for coffee but their food looks good, too. I'd definitely return again the next time I visit!
Local little spot with lovely vibes. Quick grab and go caffeinated bevs or stay for some yummy European favorites. Interesting coffee options include a salted honey cortado or that "peanut drink". Don't sleep on the jammy eggs, tacos, baguette with ham and butter, or fresh oj. Also does an evening service with cocktails and night bites. One of my favorite spots to work.
This is a cozy European like cafe. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Let's start with the drinks. The latte was very good and they use low country whole milk. I've had a lot of lattes in my life and this milk makes a really good one. My wife got the peanut drink. It's a latte with peanut milk and mocha syrup. You heard that correctly.....peanut milk. It tasted just like a Reece's peanut butter cup. It was really good! As for the food.....the grilled cheese is a must. They have hot pepper ham in it and is perfectly crispy.
My boyfriend and I stumbled into Baba's (so cute!) and I'm still thinking about it. The peanut milk mocha and whipped honey espresso were unreal, like, the kind of drinks that live rent-free in your mind forever. Deviled eggs had the perfect kick, banana bread was the blueprint, and those peach oats felt like a hug. If I lived in Charleston, I'd probably sign my lease next door.
Location: within a walking distance from kings street. Service: everybody was incredibly friendly and our food came out pretty quickly. Atmosphere: has indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of plants and gives a cozy small coffee shop vibe. Food: Got the avocado toast, whipped ricotta toast and iced vanilla latte. The iced vanilla latte was really good, smooth flavorful. The avocado toast was fresh and the lime wedge definitely brought a lot of flavor. The whipped ricotta was very tasty and was not too sweet but had some jam and pistachios on top. Parking: didn't see parking but it is a close walking distance from kings street which is the main area to shop and walk around. Also, a lot of cars park on sides of street read more
The reviews for the avocado toast led me here, and it was very good. So simple yet bursting with the perfect amount of seasoned flavor. The bread was not the best I've had but still very good and I love that it is somehow toasted but still soft. I also had a sparkling limeaid which I super enjoyed, it's funny cause 6$ for a dine in drink seemed a bit pricey but when I put it in a to go cup it made sense somehow lol. When we return to Charleston this would be on my list to return to as hubs loved his overnight oats too. read more

The best, random find next to our Airbnb in Charleston. The friendliest staff you'll ever meet, delicious coffee, a super cool aperitivo with treats, and just good vibes. This place was absolutely perfect and we came by three times during our long weekend trip. The aperitivo was our favorite -- yummy treats and one of the best Campari spritz I've had in the US. We will definitely be back! read more
This place is located next to the fire station and had a long line in the morning out the door. To be honest, it was just ok. Just viewing how they work to make drinks, they're somehow working very inefficiently, thus the long lines. I tried their peanut coffee, where the black coffee was self-serve on the side. I expected something tasty and unique from their house made peanut syrup but it wasn't great. The coffee on the side notes $1 refills but I saw a girl just refilling her cup multiple times without paying. I guess it's an honor system. They had a small food menu, but I ordered their avocado toast. It's good, on crunchy toast bread with some pepper for spice. Overall there seem to be better coffee spots around King St, it was basic coffee here. read more

Was visiting Charleston so I had to try this place since it's alllll over TikTok. Safe to say that it didn't disappoint. Their babas peanut milk had good flavor and texture added to the lattes! Also tried their banana bread and it was moist and delicious! Loved everything about this place (except the long line) read more
I wish I knew about Apertivo hour months ago! Such a delightful spot with an intimate and chic ambience. The Apertivo snacks were very fresh and yummy. Perfect for a girls night or date night. The staff were very kind and helpful. read more

Another happy little surprise of our short girls weekend. We were walking down sides streets to find hidden gems and bumped into this one. Coffee/breakfast shop. It must not be that hidden because right after we walked up at 9, people started lining up and the line went down the road! This is an order at the counter establishment. They offer coffee bar items and a few breakfast baked goods including muffins, overnight oats, egg tacos, toasts and cookies. We tried the tacos, jelly eggs, avocado toasts and bread. Also vanilla matcha, peanut milk matcha (very interesting but good in a peanut butter way) mocha peanut milk and cold brew. Apparently they make their own peanut milk and (as expected) it tastes just like peanut butter. The tacos were our fav. They're premade in a warmer drawer by the cashier but fresh! Likely made that morning. The jelly eggs were also delicious. Not much for seating, a few (maybe two or three) tables and chairs in the back, a few high top standing tables, no chairs and a few outside tables with chairs. Grab and go seemed to be the way most were ordering. We opted to stand at the high top to get out of the heat! They do have water available with cups. Not sure on the restrooms. It does get very busy so planned to come early or be ready to wait a little bit. read more

Babas is my favorite coffee shop in downtown Charleston. The shop itself is cozy and vibey. I love their variety of coffees- my favorite is the whipped honey espresso. read more
I wish I had a better experience here because it's so highly rated. It's cute inside and we ordered this chickpea snack which was ok. There was an incident with the toilet not flushing so I let a worker know to be courteous and she was rude about it. read more

The coffee here was amazing! I keep thinking about it, I am obsessed with the peanut mocha I got. I also had their breakfast burrito which was a good size. My friend also got their honey latte and it was perfectly sweet and made with local honey. Everyone was really sweet and helpful. It was busy so we sat by the window, but there's free WiFi which is convenient. Overall loved it! read more

Very cute coffee shop with great menu options! The service is fast even when they are slammed. It's a little small and so limited seating available but still worth trying! The avocado toast is so good and my usual go too. Tried the whipped ricotta toast and was pleasantly surprised! Great place and highly recommend. read more
I can't say enough good things about this place! I did a bit of research before visiting Charleston and was shocked to find this apertivo deal... couldn't believe that we'd get access too a bunch of snacks, just with the purchase of a drink. Most importantly, the dishes were amazing! You could tell everything was of high quality, down to the bread. The restaurant was pretty modern, with a very open vibe. My friend and I sat at the bar, with easy access to the apertivo area. We chatted with the bar staff a bit and they were super nice! One even gave us a few recommendations for places to visit in the area. I would totally recommend visiting! read more

great spot to unwind after work during happy hour with 1/2 off bottles of wine! Really loved the caviar and chips dish alongside a glass of Prosecco. Seating is first-come, first-serve so be aware of that. The overall vibe was laid-back and felt like a true neighborhood spot. Can't wait to come back! read more

I came here while visiting Charleston early in the morning. The line moved fast and the staff were extremely friendly. You could tell the cute coffee shop was a mix of locals and people out of town. I tried the whipped honey espresso and it blew me away. read more
