We were excited to try Cafe Roca for the first time. I ordered the mushroom toast with sourdough, whipped herb cream cheese, cremini mushrooms and grilled onions, chive, lemon, and olive oil. It was perfection! I did remove some of the cream cheese since it was spread on a bit heavy. My boyfriend had the Roca burrito with a flour tortilla, scrambled egg, sharp cheddar, hash brown, pepper and onion mix, and sriracha aioli with chicken. We also split a lavender lemonade. He said it was simple, but excellent. It is a cute little place with delicious food and a friendly staff. There is parking, but it can be a bit tricky. I love the casual and relaxed vibe. We will definitely go back for the mushroom toast and try something else next time. They also accept Blackbird, which is a nice bonus. Overall, all good things about this breakfast and lunch spot. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food is very fresh! The ambiance is very laid back and relaxing. The coffee is very good- I love iced vanilla lattes and they delievered for sure. I got the carne asada salad which was very good and had a dynamic flavor profile. Saw people behind me eating sandwiches which looked amazing with chips. Very nice cafe spot in west Ashley! Will def be back!!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Best breakfast in town! Today, avocado toast, sausage burrito and wontons. All freshly made and absolutely delicious. The service is always excellent and they make everything fresh but it doesn't take too long. I highly recommend cafe roca-eat in or take it to go! read more

Great spot in West Ashley! Parking can get a little tight when busy but not too bad. The staff are friendly and there's a lot of seating types inside. There was a strong smell of incense but just near the counter. I grabbed an iced caramel latte before a walk on the greenway and it was well prepared. read more

Have gone past this place many times saying we need to stop there. So glad we did. We both had the burritos. My wife said it was the best she has ever had, i have to agree. Service was very friendly. Will definitely stop again read more

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. read more

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 read more

This place is so quaint!! I was so in love with all the details and decor. I didn't get to spend much time here, due to work. This is the perfect place to hang with friends, or get some work done. Even on a Sunday it wasn't too loud, although it was crowded. They have a wide variety of specialty coffee, and bakery items. My husband and I both got their famous breakfast sandwich! It was so delicious. The aioli really elevated it from your traditional English muffin. I found that the ingredients were quality as well. The service was quick and everyone working seemed nice. A manager/owner, maybe, even made his way around checking on each table. That was kind. The pricing is high here for coffee. A shot of espresso and a cortado is/was the same price as a latte ($4.50). In my opinion that is high. Because of the price I was also expecting the latte to be exceptional but the milk was frothed for a bit too long and too foamy (imo). But again I loved it here! Because of the pricing I don't know how often I'd be here but for special occasions I'll be back! read more

Really cute little cafe. Came on a very busy Sunday morning but still got my iced mocha quickly. The espresso was smooth and tasted caramel-y. I'd love to go back on a less busy morning and lounge on the couch! read more

5 stars... Café Roca is exactly what West Ashley needed! From the moment you walk into Café Roca, you can feel the care and creativity in the space. Joe Walker, who you might remember from the much-loved Stereo 8, has absolutely nailed it here by blending his global culinary experience with a fresh, welcoming vibe that feels perfectly at home in West Ashley. The menu is thoughtful and playful, with dishes that are full of bold flavors and beautiful presentation. The breakfast fried wontons and the duck hoagie (I'd say this is their take on a duck bahn mi) are just next level... not just delicious, but clever, and they show off Joe's knack for mixing global inspiration with local charm. One thing that really impressed me: Joe listened to early feedback from the neighborhood and adjusted pricing to make sure Café Roca stays accessible. It says a lot about his respect for the community and his commitment to making this a place where people want to return again and again. The vibe in the space is just right... lively without being loud, stylish without feeling over-designed. It's the kind of place where you want to linger over coffee or brunch. We love that it's so easily accessible by foot, bike, or car... we like to take a short ride on the bike path and then cruise through the neighborhood to get here. It makes the whole experience feel like a perfect little escape. West Ashley has been waiting for a spot like this, and I can't recommend Café Roca enough. It's become a fast favorite, and I'm excited to keep coming back. read more

This is definitely one of my new favorite coffee shops! I have yet to try any of their food items but the several times I have been here the coffee is consistently good. The atmosphere is very chill and it's actually bigger than one would expect if you were to look at just passing by. My only gripe is the WiFi is very spotty and I do not think the A/C is working well as it is very warm and muggy inside. Other than that you should definitely try this place just for the coffee alone. read more

We highly recommend Cafe Roca for a delightful dining experience, from morning coffee and breakfast to evening wine and snacks. We love the Traffic Bites and Toasts, occasionally branching out to Sandwiches or Bowls for variety. Our shared breakfast favorites include Street Tacos, Green Eggs and Ham, Wontons, Avo Toast, and Mushroom Toast, paired with fabulous lattes, cappuccinos, or chais--hot or iced. Evenings bring wine with Duck Tacos and Spring Rolls--yum! The service is fun, friendly, and quick with hot dishes. The relaxed, fun atmosphere features great music and an existential vibe, perfect for conversations with friends or casual business meetings, in-person or virtual. Joe, the owner, and Greg, the head chef, are personable and a joy to chat with. It's an ideal spot to kick off the day with coffee and snacks or wind down with wine and bites--we always take extras home. We're thrilled Cafe Roca arrived in West Ashley! read more

SO THRILLED to have Cafe Roca join the neighborhood! The aesthetic, the food, the coffee, the accessibility - all make me giddy. It's an order counter and bar, high top, couch and communal table seating (with high chairs for kiddos). We had the lox toast, cobb salad and wontons and they were all fantastic! The bread of the lox toast was really a stand out. I like that the food is fresh made but comes is containers that are easy to take with you. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and made the experience excellent. read more
