Great smoothies and iced coffees! Friendly and welcoming staff!! Convenient location to chill while shopping and touring Charleston.

Love this spot! I just google searched for a coffee shop near the hotel I was staying at and this one came up & I'm super pleased I was able to stop by. Delicious hot vanilla latte on a freezing cold weekend in January. Also thought it was cute that they gave me a playing card as my order number. I'd recommend and will be back if I'm in the area again. read more

Very cute merch! I was also super intrigued by the shandys in cans that they had- like lemonade and coffee or hibiscus tea and coffee- I bet they're delicious. I really wanted a travel mug but talked myself out of it because I don't need another one. The service was fine, and my husband liked his drink. read more

Tasty coffee and decent service. They sold expired coffee, though, so that's a bummer.

BITTY & BEAU'S melted my heart with a warm peppermint bark latte over the holidays. Is it even possible to give this place less than 5 stars? The coffee was just average to me. Nothing special. But what was special was the mission behind each cup of coffee made. From their website, "Bitty & Beau's Coffee is a human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop, where people with intellectual & developmental disabilities are valued in the workplace. It's a place where diversity isn't just appreciated, it's celebrated. Bitty & Beau's Coffee proudly employs 400+ individuals with disabilities nationwide." I loved it! Every worker offered me sweet smiles and friendly service - as a result, the coffee tasted that much better! read more

Sipping with an impact! Beverages and dining here is more than a morning perk. It is supporting a larger mission that builds an accepting community and showcase that everyone despite other abled can contribute and make meaningful experiences for every patron. Bitty and Beau isn't just a delicious coffee and bites. They have built employment opportunities for those that are intellectually and developmentally disabled. This has resulted in "changing the way people see other people". Each coffee shop curates a welcoming and radically inclusive environment. Not to mention sweet notes on cups to cheer brighten your day. read more

I loved this coffee shop! The coffee was delicious as well as their selection of shirts, mugs, etc. to purchase. I had a peanut butter chocolate blended drink and bought a shirt, perfect for my classroom. The staff was friendly and professional and I love what the coffee represents read more

Really good tasting coffee. Friendly staff great atmosphere. Definitely will go back.

Amazing coffee and staff. Wish I found this sooner. Very cosy a pleasure to relax here

Definitely support their goal and the employees were so nice so I know it is not their fault and are doing what they're told. This is for the owners, I don't support the inability to fill the cup when asking for light ice. I think the employees should be trained to fill the cup even with light ice with at least milk or something. It was just not filled enough at all. read more

Great recommendation from the lady working the front desk at our hotel. When I walked in I immediately remembered a reel I had seen on Instagram a while back about Bitty and Beau's and how this coffee shop came to be. As an educator myself, I have a soft spot for special needs. I was elated to be able to visit this amazing shop and receive the best service and coffee! Thank you to the helpful lady taking my order. I told her I usually order cold brew, but nothing too sweet. She suggested a s'mores type cold brew. It was delicious. I would definitely return again! I see there's a Bitty & Beau's in Waco. I'll be in Waco in a couple of weeks and plan to make a pit stop at that location! read more

This is the cutest coffee shop with the best mission and sweetest baristas. Our coffee was delicious and was quickly made. It's also conveniently located and within walking distance of so many places, like the City Market. The shop itself doesn't have a ton of seating options, but a few tables by the counter. The ordering concept is unique. You're given a playing card and they call you to retrieve your order based on that. It was so fun interacting with the staff. Highly recommend! read more

Drinks took 20+ minutes to make, were made wrong, and we were charged extra for something we didn't order. Business model is to employ the disabled but they need proper management. Our barista was limping and wincing in pain while making our drink and the other staff was tearing up/crying which is not ok. read more

From all the gushing reviews we expected this to be a privately-owned small business, but it is actually a chain. The coffee was kind of weak, watery, and just OK. The sugar syrup on the coffee bar tasted weird. There were a handful of factory-made pastries in the case. Nothing substantial to eat for breakfast. We were offered egg sandwiches by the cashier, but then were told by (someone in charge) that they actually don't have that yet. He said they would be frozen sandwiches and they were having issues with storage. 3/4 + of the store footprint is taken up by merch advertising the company. As parents of 2 special needs kids, we really wanted to appreciate the effort, but it just feels like they are using the "we hire special needs people" thing as PURPLEWASHING to pull on people's heartstrings to get their money. read more

Coffee was delicious and staff was so friendly! I enjoyed a fun convo with the barista while I sipped my coffee. Awesome mission too.

The sweetest little cafe in Charleston!! We were parched on a hot may afternoon after exploring the river side parks. We needed refreshments and yelp suggested this cafe. They employ physically challenged people which makes it 1000 times worth the visit. I got an iced vanilla latte which was fabulous. They give you playing cards and call it out while your order is ready, kinda makes it more fun. I will recommend and revisit this cafe when in town. read more

It is a cute place, opens at 9:00 though so kind of late for starting the day. A big caveat emptor is that they do not have espresso equipment for making espresso drinks - at least in March 2026 when we were there. It comes from an automatic push-button machine. Not so good if you think real espresso matters. read more

This is such a cool coffee shop that gives a unique small town vibe that I really appreciate. The service was made great with both kindness and efficiency. We visited on two occasions during our time in Charleston and were very happy with the different drinks we tried both times. Their Mocha's seem to skew towards the sweater end of the spectrum compared to others, but their cold brew was spot on with many others that I've tried, and their Caramel Frappé was incredible. I would definitely recommend that you check this place out if you're looking for a nice cup of coffee while in Charleston. read more

Stopped in here to get an iced coffee while walking around Charleston. The coffee tasted great, the staff was very nice, the service was quick. They've got a great selection of merch and this place is making a good impact in the community. They've got indoor seating for those wanting to take a break and relax in a cozy environment. While this is technically a chain since they have a handful of locations it still feels like a small coffee shop. read more

Interesting concept of how to pick up your order. You receive a card after ordering and pick up your order when you hear your card called. Cute small coffee shop. The drink itself was good and refreshing especially on the hot summer day. read more

Very friendly staff here! The young man that took our order came out and chatted with us for a bit. The barista preparing our drinks paid very close attention to details. Nice place to sit and visit! I would describe my chai as spicy, so I suggest adding a flavor shot to sweeten it up. read more

I have only been here twice but both times the coffee was delicious and the staff is always super friendly. They have some different flavors like toasted marshmallow that I tried in my cold brew and it was very good. read more

What a great coffee shop. I stumbled upon it randomly while exploring downtown Charleston. My iced pumpkin spice latte was delicious, and I was served by some of the sweetest baristas.

Please be patient and kind in return. The coffee was Devine! Frozen hot chocolate?!?! Yes. Please! It was some of the best I've ever had! Cute little shop with local vibes. Plus...

Perfection! Hands down, the best cup of coffee on our recent vacation to Charleston/Hilton Head/Savannah was had at Bitty & Beau's Coffee shop. Their espresso is spot on perfect--it's beautifully rich and smooth. I thoroughly enjoyed the mocha I got here. I don't know if this is always the case, but they're set up as an exclusively takeout situation. They also have some fun branded items for purchase as well. Top notch! Get to it! read more
