    My latte was perfect! Not bitter. Staff was friendly and professional. Casual, family friendly environment. Communal seating with individual tables as well. Good selection of baked goods and breakfast items.

    Turkey C sandwich, Mediterranean salad
    Justin J.

    Came out here with my kids, my daughter's friend had art on display and she wanted to support her friend. I got the Woodstock drip coffee (I let the barista pick based on my preference for low acidity coffee), the Turkey C sandwich, my son got the banana bread and a PSL, my daughter's got a chai and blueberry muffins. My kids loved their treats and drinks, admittedly they are an easy audience. I enjoyed my coffee, as hoped for it was smooth a law acid, despite drinking it black. The sandwich was absolutely outstanding. Bacon was thick and smoky, the roll had just the right "squish" and "chewiness" of a good hard roll, and it wasn't greasy or sloppy at all, which is exactly why I picked it. The Mediterranean salad was not quite what I expected, I thought it would involve black olives and feta cheese, but it had neither, and I appreciated that it was different and not too oily. The food prices feel a touch high but if you look at the quality of the food, and their use of premium ingredients, it is reasonable for what you get. Staff was friendly and good came out fast. There is a long table for bigger groups and small tables for up to four to sit. In general, Summerville has been mostly misses for me on food, but I like Coastal Coffee and would return if I was in the area and wanting a bite or a brew. J.Ja

    Ah... coffee, behind sugar the most acceptable and almost required drug in America. Who can deny the satisfaction of opening the doors to any coffee shop and getting slapped in the face with the most brilliant, bold and savory smells that only fresh brewed coffee can produce? Not only that but the required caffeine that our blood streams need to jolt our overly taxed or perhaps underserved waking up mechanism. I work out in the AM so coffee for me is more about opulence and indulgence than a necessity but I digress. Anyways after living abroad and sampling many places in town, I believe I have found the best coffee shop in Summerville! Coastal Coffee Roasters is in an easy to access and safe area in a quaint building. After the initial blast of beans slammed my nose, I took awhile to check out the store. First the board screamed out at me with all the international (lets be honest almost all American coffee is international unless it's from Hawaii) flavors. I really wanted to sample a lot of flavors, but alas I was in somewhat of a rush. Next, I love the fact they grind their own beans, when I lived in Texas my favorite spot smoked then ground their beans; people are getting crazy y'all! While I hate trendy coffee shops, you know the ones with the pretentious people writing the next great American novel in a sterile environment? Coastal Coffee Roasters doesn't give that vibe at all, more of a laid back spot where you'll recognize people that come often and have a smile on their face; well after they've had some coffee. The walls have character that isn't forced but as if an owner on a whim puts a keepsake up on the wall. The furniture is a hodgepodge of whatever is found at a thrift store is considered seating, along with a long picnic table. This is a snapshot of lowcountry living, laid back, simple yet comforting. I looked over a menu and I'll be darned if I didn't love what they had to nibble on. It all looked devine but if I may suggest two items that I've enjoyed in other areas of the country - kloche's and homemade poptarts. There, my request is done! Back to their menu from what I saw is everyone really enjoyed the food and the pastries looked amazing. I know, this place warrants an appetite and repeat visits. I wrote this huge review for one coffee, I suggested myself! Apparently I think highly of this little insignificant review. But darnit my coffee was as JJ said "Dynomite!" I got a large latte with two shots of Amaretto, shot of honey and a shot of vanilla. My coffee at home I generally have my own creamer I doctor up for positive affects on the body and it includes non-sweet creamer, touch of cayenne, turmeric, cinnamon and honey. Anyways my latte was delicious and not too sweet. I even let my mom try it who literally hates everything she doesn't create and she loved it. To wrap this up, Coastal Coffee Roasters is the real deal and the best coffee you can get in town. The people are nice and will take the time to walk you through the menu and the store itself has the aww shucks sit down and stay a while vibe. If you like coffee and haven't stopped by, you're really missing out.

    This review is mostly for me to come back to once I try more. I've been here on three separate locations and still haven't tried any of their food. That is completely my bad. Will judge that soon. One of the days I visited was an understaffed, Saturday morning with a shortage of ingredients. We were unable to try any seasonal beverages we wanted because of this. I will say, I have thoroughly enjoyed a regular coffee (Carolina Gold?) and dirty chai tea. The seating area could use a bit of an update and proper organization/storage of magazines, games, and the like. Just to make it a bit more tidy. The staff is very patient, hardworking, and communicative which increases my likelihood of return. I also need to actually try the delicious looking cinnamon roll. Why I didn't get it while there was a huge error on my part. When I do, I'll update my review.

    Gyro special
    Wanda G.

    Ordered food to go for lunch. Lunch gyro special was delicious. I got side of Cole slaw ...nice flavor with a mixture of cabbage, carrots and kale. Gyro was fresh and loved the fresh tzatziki sauce. The pickles were unusual start sweet then have a little bit of a bite at the end. When I arrived had to wait a few minutes but I enjoyed watching the people. Lots of tables and many were working on lap tops. Also had to pick up a cinnamon roll for tomorrow's breakfast.

    We started coming here because my sons SLP is in the building and we fell in love with this local gem! Service is always great even when busy which it always is and we're there at lunchtime. The baked goods are heavenly. We've had cruffins, cookies, and scones! We also have ordered off the lunch menu and the sandwiches are huge and delicious! They also have a cute front outdoor seating area and large inside seating. The coffee is also always delicious with a seasonal feature. They are always busy with people picking up beans but I've always gotten a latte! It's become a greatly weekly treat and I love supporting the local business!

    Coffee beans anyone?  I love the choices!  (Well ok, I haven't tried them ALL. )

    Another visit, another 5 star. I love this place for its relaxed neighborhood vibe, for its wide and excellent drink offerings and bean coffee choices, and its in-house bakery. Perfect! Once you figure out what to order, and if your eating in, you'll grab a seat. Choices range from tables for 2, or 4, or many (a long table seating large parties or friends that maybe haven't met yet). A server brings your order over with a smile. Yup, the coffee and fresh baked goods are excellent. But what I really like is that I get a mood lift from Coastal Roasters, I always feel better after I've been. BTW, Coastal Roasters is fully accessible to someone in a wheelchair. Go!

    I'm still trying to find good coffee shops in Summerville and came across this one. I love that they roast their own beans and make their own syrups. It is a very crowd and family friendly place and the service was fast and friendly. I ordered a blueberry scone and it was delicious. It was thick, not dry and not too sweet. For coffee I got a lavender honey latte. I would've liked it a little sweeter but it was still very good and balanced. Very cute shop that I will be back to!

    Kids have games and crayons to keep them occupied and kid friendly treats like chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate.

    Not only is the coffee quality amazing, the owner is very knowledgable and enthusiastic about sharing that knowledge. I came in because I got 2 batches of terrible burnt flavorless coffee from a very famous coffee brand. It was the last straw in long string of unsatisfactory coffee experiences. I vowed never to buy pre-ground supermarket coffee again. I came in wanting to try a light roast and love my way up. I now have coffee grinder and grind my espresso every morning. My favorite beans are the Sexy Seven and the Guatemala City. Start here if you want to up your coffee game. Side note the owner gave my kids a tour of the roasting room and explained the process to them, they loved it and thought I planned a field trip!

    Located right in downtown Summerville. We came here to meet some friends for coffee for our first time. I got the Cuban cortado, it was delicious! We snagged a table outdoor and it was a nice ambiance. They have an assortment of different coffees from different countries and the quality was good. We also got a strawberry muffin and that was delicious. They brought our order out too us which was very nice. Definitely will continue to come here!

    Was here yesterday for the first time after moving to West Ashley (Charleston) from Greenville. Really, really nice espresso place. Had a great iced mocha with an extra shot as it was getting hot out and I'd already had plenty of espresso. Wow. Really good as well the strawberry scone. (They were out of Blueberry which is my favorite) The scone was really, really good. As was the Lox on everything bagel I got to go. Not as great as some I've had in Manhattan or the city or some straight up Jewish deli's but better than almost any coffee shop bagel I've had. (Shout out to Jersey Bagel Brothers in Greenville - awesome bagels and Lox bagels sandwich's) There are a lot of tables here. Almost all had two or more people. Some working on laptops or iPads. Some just talking and having a nice morning. But the overall sound level was very decently quiet for all of the people there. Also there were more actual people working behind the counter than a lot of shops these days, and who were friendly and efficient and knew what they were doing so ordering went fast and smoothly. There were some Wall Street Journals and local magazines and papers which was nice. I bought 3/4 pounds of whole bean Espresso blend to take home for my DeLonghi. Really liked this place and will be back!

We spent money for a few pastries and cakes and some frozen raviolis. It's busy but nice. The coffee smelled good.

We're already looking forward to coming back to try the house-made, artisanal gelato, wood-fired pizza, deli sandwiches, and sfogliatellas. Easy parking, warm, attentive service, and a beautiful, inviting, European-inspired ambiance make Tallucci's an absolute must-visit.

The baked goods are provided by a local baker; my raspberry lemon poppyseed muffin was terrific. So two marks for the quality of the coffee and baked goods, and friendly service.

With tall ceilings and wide windows, SC is bright and airy, and their decor is understated elegant: nice touches here and there that reinforces the care gone into creating a relaxing space.

What follows is the marching orders to all other places doing the same thing. Give me a McDonalds with from the 80s with an exterior that dared to be unique, not part of the 1984 (read the book) agenda. This brings me to Summit coffee; I absolutely hate the exterior. Devoid of life, soul and any unique presence. However, I'm not really here to write about a drab exterior but coffee! Let's go inside, shall we? Summit coffee establishment is located is on the outskirts of Nexton proper, easily accessible by foot and with a sterile atmosphere. One oddity I noticed is the place doesn't smell of coffee, which I found interesting. Sadly the inside is as lifeless as outside. It looks like a they paid a cleaner to remove all vestiges of life while only leaving a spec here or there to meet a quote. Ok, enough with aesthetics as I've complained enough, The staff is quick to help out and offer good suggestions when they're asked. Being a former comedian, I tried to whip up some jokes to compensate for my utter boredom, the ladies were nice enough to laugh. Needless to say, the women here had a heart. They made good suggestions but I was curious why their pastry display only had like a handful of items, did they make them or get them from the grocery store? I don't know but I was only here for coffee. I did like some of the creativity - a banana creampie latte - sounds like something.... Nevermind but all props for creativity. Birthday cake latte didn't sound good for the waistline but another attempt at creativity - I love it! But I opted to go for my own flavor. A lack of options for addins, I mean literally no hazelnut, almond etc. Well, I did the best I could - Latte with 2 shots caramel and 1 vanilla. I can honestly say it was "mid" at best. The roast didn't resonate while the lack of options made it feel so generic like I couldn't play the part of an evil scientist mixing a crazy concoction. But it beats McDonalds. Oh, they do have "the world's best granola" which I made several jokes about, even encouraging other customers by saying "if you were in France and ordered granola, they would talk about Summit's granola, after all it's the world's best!" Yes, I was being the overfriendly annoying customer, b/c I was bored. At least there were some laughs. Sadly, there's nothing about Summit that stands out. I hate saying that for local businesses but I want to be authentic. Stop by if .... Well, I'm not sure why so just stop by, I guess.
