    Iced coffee with milk and lavender
    Heather A.

    Super charming dog friendly cafe. Quiet enough to work, with plenty of space to lounge! My iced coffee was lovely and the BL(A)T was phenomenal, and it's big enough to share! The staff has such a good vibe. It was such a pleasure stopping in.

    Came here for a quick breakfast bite after working out. The cafe had ample parking. The interior was a lot more spacious than I expected and it had a really fun aesthetic. My food came out relatively quickly. I got the Green Eggs and Ham which were essentially deviled eggs on a bed of arugula. The filling was so creamy and good. It even made the arugula taste wonderful.

    The peppermint white mocha ice coffee was amazing!!! The Classic bagel was good but I was not a huge fan of the sauce they used on it. Just personal preference:) The staff was nice, though it was hard to hear our names over the music and ambient voices and they only called names once. The location is comfortable with comfortable seating and it was easy to hear my friend while we were talking in the Cafe. All-in-all it was a good experience and I will come again!

    What a charming cafe. I came on Saturday and it was super busy. There is ample seating options and they move the order line quickly. I ordered the Carnes asada salad. When I sat down I noticed that my salad was missing the stake. They were very quick to add the missing items. The salad itself was amazing. I am starting keto for health reasons and this was perfect.

    Bagel

    I got quick takeout from here, but it was a nice enough space to stay in despite the strip mall setting. I wanted a typical breakfast bagel, which was slightly sour and came with abundant butter, as well as a less conventional breakfast salad. The salad contained a lot of nice ingredients, but didn't fully cohere and the dressing didn't add as much as I was hoping. Still, a nice way to balance out my bagel with some vegetables. It didn't look like the pastry selection here was huge, but it did look like a nice place to sit and chat.

    Decided to check this place out since I drive by it regularly but haven't had to chance to stop in. Me and a girlfriend wanted to catch up and we both have never tried it here so we chose this spot! I ordered a brown sugar iced latte (small) and a classic bagel breakfast sandwich on a sesame bagel! The garlic aioli added the perfect twist on a classic sandwich. Not to mention it was a nice shareable size! The coffee was good as well, wish it had more of an espresso taste but nonetheless tasty! Felt it was sort of pricey for what I got ($17 with tip) but I feel like that's the going rate lately for a simple breakfast out in Charleston. Definitely will be coming back as the lox bagel sounds delicious!

    Their menu is in a folder. I love that touch.

    It's rare for me to rate five stars but Cafe Roca deserves it. The first thing I noticed when I walked in the door was that an espresso is ONLY two dollars. That's for two shots. The espresso was delicious. They use a very good bean. Next was the sandwich. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese on a sesame seed bagel. The sandwich was delicious. The bagel was very fresh. The egg was cooked just right, and the cheese had the perfect amount of gooeyness to it. Customer service here is on point. They are fully staffed. The staff is very attentive, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. While here I saw the store manager wiping surfaces and doing table touches. I'm sorry, but I almost never see cafe staff doing table touches. On the way out, the manager addressed me by name and asked how I enjoyed the visit. That he remembered my name after hearing it only once was outstanding. I'll definitely eat here again. Folks, you should, too. Check out the pics.

    I came to this ne coffee place on their third opening day and it did not dissapoint me. I had my skinny iced decaf coffee latte with their glutten free banana chocolate chip muffin and it was so good. I love the ambience of the place, open, and love the natural light with big glass window. I love the big table where they put the water infuse jug and some sofas to sit on. They also sell breakfast menu with full kitchen crew that busy making the food order. The service was pretty fast, however ai didnt order the cooked breakfast tho so cant really say about the cook breakfast that they had to make in the kitchen. The owner of the place stop by and introduced himself and asked about our order and make sure we enjoyed what we got. Congratulations Cafe Roca on your opening and best of luck!

    Carne Asada bowl and hot chai latte
    Sherlyn T.

    It was our first time visiting Cafe Roca. The place was busy for a Saturday afternoon. The cafe had a warm and cozy feel. The menu had a lot of healthy options with salads and toasts. I finally decided on the carne asada bowl and hot chai latte. The bowl is definitely something that I would get again because I like everything in the description but most of all the dressing is what pulled it all together. The spicy chipotle vinaigrette did the trick. As for the chai latte, I wish it was a little hotter because it was a great fall flavor in a cup to get you ready for that cooler weather that hopefully comes soon.

    Emily S.

    I know it won't last forever, but everyone RUN to get the pumpkin latte from this place while they have it. I don't love chain coffee stores' pumpkin flavoring but this place absolutely nailed it. They also get major bonus points for having a variety of gluten free muffins to choose from every morning. Such a great spot for a good latte and a tummy ache-free pastry.

    Lox bagel and nitro.
    Frank P.

    Their nitro coffee is pretty solid. Their menu is quite varied in food, which is surprising for a cafe of their size. I really enjoyed my lox bagel with both the lox and bagel itself being pretty fresh, and the dill cream cheese. I'll have to try a couple of their other drinks, but there wasn't a lot advertised on the board in variety. Still enjoyed everything.

    New little spot in West Ashley - decided to stop in to check it out last weekend. It's simply decorated with bar seating, high top tables, and couches, etc. It was fairly crowded, but the wait was not terrible. I got an iced latte and one of their signature sandwiches. I enjoyed my latte, it was simple but tasty. My sandwich (BLAT) was pretty fresh and it was enjoyable. I would not recommend coming here if you need a feast, but for breakfast/lunch, it is definitely a good option - they have a nice variety to choose from. The staff was very friendly and the service was pretty quick, especially considering how busy they were. I will have to go back & try some of their other items.

    Alright, alright! I stopped in to the just opened @Cafe Roca in West Ashley this morning. I got greeted like an old friend by the two owners Joe and Shannon. I had one of the best Cortado's that I've ever had and I tried their Breakfast Wontons made with Herbed Cream Cheese, scrambled egg, bacon, (sushi)Eel Sauce, Sriracha Aioli and Scallions. They were spot on delicious! I also grabbed a couple.of Gluten Free Donuts that were also great. **Went back today and had a Bagel with Lox! It hit the mark!** The vibe is everything we need and want in West Ashley. Cool and inviting with books and even a music nook with headphones if you want to listen to music as you sip and eat. Great music is playing throughout the space for all to enjoy. I ended up spending 30 minutes talking with other customers from the area about food and restaurants we love. This is a real feel good neighborhood place. Cafe Roca 1303 Ashley River Rd Charleston, SC Open 7 days M-F 6am-2pm Sat and Sun 7am-2p

    Iced mocha. Very smooth, caramel flavor.

It's a simple system that makes the whole experience feel effortless. Our group's go-to order is the trio appetizer to share, followed by one or two tacos each. Everything is flavorful and just the right portion size, making it easy to mix and match different tacos each visit. Bartaco is almost always busy, so expect a 10-30 minute wait during peak times. Thankfully, with so many shops nearby, the wait goes by quickly and is well worth it. Between the convenient location, good food, and laid-back atmosphere, it's a spot we find ourselves coming back to again and again.
