    City Java & News, Beaufort

    Coffee time! I was here at 6:30am and the gal behind the counter was dishing up coffee and pastries for locals and hotel guests. There are a couple small tables inside so it's possible to spend some laptop time here but it's not idea for more than an hour or two as it's not really laid out as a "coworking" space. Coffee was excellent and the wifi worked well. [Review 19472 overall - 1044 in South Carolina - 442 of 2023.]

    This cute little coffee shop is to die for! It sits right on Carteret and is nestled into the building of a hotel. It faces the road though so you can't miss it! There is seating both inside and outside. In addition to some lovely pastries and drink options, there is a full-fledged store for other necessities, as well as gifts and items that will enhance ones life as they travel. Examples: eucalyptus sprigs, watches, bath salts, jewelry, art, etc. Don't forget the array of magazines and the paper! Most of the pastries are made in house, with a few being ordered. I loved the açai smoothie and cherry danish (my husband is addicted to them!) Each employee we have interacted with is friendly and informative. Will definitely return!

    A small coffee shop in the City Lofts hotel building. Excellent coffee selection with multiple muffins and pastry choices. Very nice staff.

    Great selection!

    Stopped in for a caramel frappe (and a/c). Super nice folks, great service and tasty coffee. We live close by, so we will be back!

    Modern coffee shop and menu and server is friendly. Coffee is delicious. I'll be back.

    Love this place! Have been coming here for years with family and friends. Love the Baristas and the coffee, and smoothies. The sandwich's are good as well. The only problem is a rude manager, he gives us dirty looks and isn't very friendly and makes us feel uncomfortable. We've spent a lot of money here and haven't had any problems before until, this trip. A bald, white man in his late 50s. Other than that would definitely recommend!

    This delightful coffee shop was right next door to the City Loft hotel where we stayed on our recent visit to South Carolina. And lucky us, the hotel provides coupons good for free 16 ounce cups of coffee for each morning of your stay. My husband was a dear and trooped over every morning to get our coffee while I lolled in bed for a few extra moments. The coffee was always steaming hot, (just as I like it) and always delicious. There were a number of coffee flavors and styles from which to choose but for the most part I am a straight up non-flavored coffee gal, cream, no sugar. One day I popped into the shop myself to get a late afternoon iced coffee which gave me a chance to take a look around. Although small, this place has a lot to offer. And they open at 6:00AM which is good for early risers like us. There is a full coffee bar menu and an array of tea choices with both hot and cold options. There are fresh muffins, smoothies, a case with chilled white wines and a shelf of some reds, beer, newspapers, breakfast items like fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, egg and cheese sandwiches and lunch items like soups, salads, wraps and sandwiches. There is a lot packed into this small but very pleasant space. There is free Wi-Fi and a few tables and chairs in which to hang out although probably more than 6 people in here would feel tight. It's best suited to get your items to go. It appears this shop is owned by the same people who run the City Loft hotel so there is an emphasis on sustainable practices just like the hotel, and when possible they utilize organic products. This coffee was the best I had in Beaufort.

    Great espresso! Pastries are average not worth it! Computers are welcomed! Service was great

    Great coffee with friendly service. I always call ahead my order which is super convenient. About $1 cheaper than other places in town with a better rewards system. My favorite coffee place in town.

    I really enjoyed the coffee selection here when I stopped to do some work. The internet was great and the shop is full of light.

    My husband and I tried coffee and breakfast while visiting Beaufort, SC…read more We are coffee snobs, and we seek to find shops that roast their own beans, offer a variety of house made syrups, and make a quality drink with a perfect combination of those two things. We both tried coffee off of their seasonal menu - I had a 16oz iced Orange Cream latte, and my husband had a hot 16oz Cookie Butter latte. We also had the Brekkie sandwich and Avocado Toast with a fried egg and bacon. We both found our lattes to be extraordinarily sweet. Although the house made syrups had excellent flavor, they were too sweet for us. I ended up adding a third shot to my 16oz iced Orange Cream (which they did at no charge!) to dilute the sweet of the syrup. My husband is not the type to request changes to his order, so he drank his coffee as is (although he could have benefited from an extra shot in his coffee as well). If you are someone looking for a less sweet option, I would check with the barista before ordering a normal amount of syrup at this coffee shop. I definitely would have benefited from asking for 1/2 sweet. Also, the 16oz iced and 24oz iced do not have a difference in coffee shot amount. Rather, the 24oz adds more milk to your latte. Just a warning for those who like more than two shots and think that's what they're getting by ordering the larger cup. The ambience inside is adorable. It matches its name perfectly.

There aren't an abundance of eateries offering plant-based options in town but you can find several items on the menu at the Herban Market and Cafe. It was nice outside so we took our drinks out to a table. A server brought our food out to us and later someone was by to clear our plates to. We enjoyed sandwiches, wraps, dessert, a smoothie coffee, and iced teas. All the items seemed to be thoughtfully made with fresh ingredients. It's convenient to have a place where we could go and everyone found something they would like. The staff was really friendly and it looks like if you want to bring a pet and sit outside you can because there were many furry friends around at the tables.
