Seating and front door
Cj S.

Came to Charleston for the weekend and found this coffee shop walking distance from my hotel. We were immediately greeted by Beverley who has unmatched energy. She was funny, engaging and beyond helpful. She offered a level of customer service that would immediately make me a regular if I lived here. We ordered the Blueberry Cobbler Latte and MoCoconut Latte. Both were really good. The blueberry cobbler latte taste exactly like a blueberry muffin. On our visit we tried out the Passionfruit Matcha. It was refreshing, light and not too sweet. Shout out to Beverley for these amazing drinks. There's plenty of space with beautiful plants everywhere you look. The greenery is a nice touch. If you love good coffee, great service and cool plants, this is the spot for you. It was so good I went back a few hours later for the same drink. Edit* went back the next day too

Now that I have been a couple of times, I will finally write a review haha They don't take names or provide numbers for your coffee order, which has not been an issue for me, as it wasn't crazy crowded when I've stopped in for late afternoon caffeine pick-me-ups! They don't have a huge list of flavors, but my most recent order was an iced salted caramel latte. I'm a fan. The previous time I was provided a large glass, as it was to enjoy while there, but my most recent visit, I was given a regular plastic, to-go cup. I preferred the glass, but the coffee was still tasty either way. They don't seem to have a ton of food options, but I did buy a brownie once and it was delicious! I just wouldn't plan for a meal here. The other half of the space is the wine/beer bar. I tried a cider during one visit, but I am definitely a coffee over alcohol person, so it's probably going to remain the reason for my visits. They have lots of tables/chairs, some couches, and a large bar, which I always see a ton of people (seem to be students) there working. They have games/cards to play, if interested, as well. Overall, it's a cute spot with a nice little variety of drink options and they have parking, which is really nice if you're able to find an open spot.

Dubai chocolate latte and salted caramel cappuccino
Cathy L.

It's a cafe with plenty of room. Staff were super friendly. My Dubai chocolate latte was good but nothing super spectacular... it was not too sweet. My husband enjoyed his salted caramel cappuccino.

A coffee shop that has dogs allowed & serves wine and beer? Sayyyyy no more. Loved coming here & seeing so many cute puppies up for adoption! The fact I also could get a yummy blueberry cobbler latte makes this my new fave place! Excited to return.

Always such a great spot to come and do some work or relax!! I like to sometimes go to coffee shops to do some work and Blum is one of my top spots to do so. I haven't had an issue with parking thankfully as they do have a small lot. The workers have always been kind and the atmosphere is great. Not dead silent but not hectic. The drinks have always been a hit for me. I ordered an iced Dubai pistachio and chocolate latte - amazing and refreshing. Not a super big coffee girl but this did hit the spot. I may ask for more pistachio flavoring next time I order but still tasty!

4 stars because parking spaces designated to Blum are limited. I asked if it was ok that I parked in an unmarked spot and the barista said "They don't typically tow until after closing". So, let's hope for the best?! Love that you can bring your own cup and receive a discount and there is ample space to work for a while. The Chai latte was good. On the sweeter side. The wine cooler by the bathroom is noisy, so I'd sit on the other side if you want to avoid the noise of it kicking on and off while you are there.

Burrell & Flynn's brownies
Sarah H.

Coffee is always made exactly like I've asked (I'm usually a half-sweet girly) staff is always super nice! PSA for all my people missing Burrell & Flynn's muffins--THESE ARE MADE BY THE SAME PEOPLE!!!! I've been to the wine bar for an event and it's such a cute spot.

The service is great, I've been twice now and loved both baristas. My issue is that the wifi never seems to be working properly--this could be a me issue, but it's happened twice, so I'm not sure. I had a pistachio latte, and, to be blunt, it is not the best in the city, especially for the price (about a dollar more than my fave in the city). The atmosphere is great, if the wifi issue wasn't a problem, I would work here on weekends regularly, despite the slight price increase in coffee.

Cute coffee shop that turns into a wine bar! I opted for a sugar free vanilla almond milk latte- the syrup did taste quite artificial.

Iced chai latter

My first time at Blūm and I'll definitely be back. I needed to get some work done on my laptop and loved the amount of space inside. They have tables, couches, counters and so many windows to fill the space with natural light. Absolutely perfect place to get some work done, meet friends for coffee, having a little reading date or even a date date. I ordered an iced chai latte with oat milk and you save $0.50 if you bring your own cup or use one of their glasses to stay in the store. I wish they had soy milk and maybe make the switch to not charge for milk alternatives but I understand. The staff was kind and the space was very quiet for all the people working. It's super cool they're also a wine bar in the afternoon. I'll definitely be back to try that out too!

Very trendy coffee bar with plenty of space for groups. Coffee was good. Didn't really have much of a selection for food... A few muffins and some prepackaged salads and sandwiches. They need to fix the ordering process because they only take the type of drink order and not include a name and too many people order the same type of drink and it can be very confusing. I had to go up a couple of times to find out what happened to my drink as people that came in after me got their drinks before me and the barista basically lost my drink order. However, the staff was very friendly and kind. Parking was difficult due to construction. So we had to park in the garage down on Columbus Street.

Randall S.

Parking was a real challenge to get intoBlum. There's a lot of construction going on all around this area but if you live within the walking distance, it's a great place to go. They have a nice outdoor seating space as well as a more upscale indoor space prices are a little high, but that's to be expected in downtown Charleston. The baked goods were good nothing over the top but good. My latte was made well and with the correct milk choice. There service was polite and inviting however they need to learn to process orders as they come in and not jump all around there were people who came in well behind us who were getting their own drink orders before we were.

Oolong tea and booth
Jayla D.

Came to work before our room was ready. Great atmosphere, lovely service, and the best vanilla oolong tea I've ever had(add sweetener) my partner also really enjoyed his Mocha latte. He aid it was nice and subtle but inviting. Lovely place would definitely recommend. Also good prices

French Quarter

My husband, his parents, and I went to Kaminsky's at around 8:30ish on a weeknight for a sweet…read moretreat. It's a super small establishment with a few tables and some bar seating. Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

We gave Kaminsky's Dessert Cafe a second try, but unfortunately they couldn't redeem themselves. On…read moreboth visits, service was lacking. We waited about 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while two employees stood nearby. The two layer chocolate caramel pecan cake, which our waitress initially could not find, was dry and tasted stale. I would not order it again. The Tollhouse pie was a bit better, but the presentation and the whipped cream were the standouts, and the whipped cream wasn't even homemade! That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.
