I love this coffee shop because it's so ambient and calm and relaxing. The food here is fantastic. I got a ham and Brie sandwich. It was delicious. The coffee here is to die for. It has so much flavor and depth. I got an iced latte with chocolate syrup and caramel syrup. MY GOSH. IT WAS AMAZING. Service here is WONDERFUL. Come here when you have the chance to. You won't regret it whatsoever!!! read more

Prior to returning home, we wanted to try this unique establishment near our hotel. Pretty cool place with a fitting name. It's literally underground! Super cool! As you descend the stairs from the sidewalk, you pass under the sign that's visible from the street. Upon entering you're facing a large bar area with a pastry display cabinet and of course the machines that create liquid magic. They serve a variety of meals and baked goods to accompany your beverage of choice. We ordered a vanilla latte, iced red eye, two egg breakfast with hash browns and toast, and a western omelet with hash browns and toast. After a short wait we received our coffees. Then our food was delivered. I have to say, the omelet was great. Stuffed with spicy sausage and vegetables! The hash browns were outstanding. Perfect for that style. Slightly crunchy, golden brown, and seasoned. Wife enjoyed her breakfast as much as I did mine. The inside is quite large. The front seating area is big, but the back room area is huge. There are so many seating options to include outside seating. We really enjoyed this coffee shop/cafe. The environment was great, the esthetics, the employees, the food, and location was fantastic. Highly recommend if you're visiting Greenville, SC. We will definitely be back! read more

Really good coffee and food, and everything was great overall. My only complaint is the price -- I thought it was pretty overpriced for what you get. Still a good spot, just a little too expensive for me to visit regularly. read more

The staff was super friendly, which I always appreciate. The entrance, though, is a bit awkward -- with everyone entering and exiting through the same door, it gets tight, especially when there's a line (which there was). The coffee was solid, and the apple infused pancakes were decent, though I honestly expected more flavor to it. The seating felt a little scattered -- like someone said, "Here's a bunch of chairs, figure it out." Nothing fancy, but functional, but not really. I wouldn't call it a must-visit, but I'm glad I checked it out. I'd consider coming back just to try some of the more unique coffee drinks on the menu. It's definitely not Starbucks -- and that's actually a welcomed reprieve. read more

It is such a cool idea to have a coffee bar with a speakeasy vibe. The service was super fast, even though there was a long line, we got the farmhouse quiche, and the Greek quiche, which were both great. The coffee was pretty good, but honestly didn't blow me away. I'd come back for the vibe more than the grub. read more

The decor looks like it might have been an Indian or Oriental restaurant at one time. The decor is a little dated but there are lots of nooks and crannies to settle in to and pull out your computer or visit with friends.There are soft benches, sofas, and chairs, along with regular tables and chairs. A minimum purchase of $5/per person will give you two hours of free Wi-Fi. We came just for a cup of coffee, but the menu is quite extensive. They serve breakfast all day. They also serve lunch and have a large selection of hot and cold drinks, along with wines and cocktails. There is quite a selection of desserts. The vibe is funky and unique. There is a connected entrance with a sign to the Theater/box office. Not sure what that's about. Overall, the coffee was just mediocre but it was fun to explore and see a part of downtown Greenville. read more

We waited in line just before 11 am on Saturday, 3/22/25. The line was long and moved slowly, but it only took 5 minutes to get our drinks once we ordered. Cool place, low ceilings, tables, couches, and chairs for seating. It was packed. I got an Iced Turtle Mocha ($5), which was supposed to be chocolate and caramel. It didn't taste like either of those things. My husband got a Vanilla Iced Coffee and it also didn't taste like vanilla. We both threw ours out after drinking about half. It just wasn't good. read more

Ordered the tuna salad melt sandwich and the turkey apple sandwich with fries. The sandwiches are cut in half so was able to try one of each as a variety plate with my guest. The fries are seasoned to perfection. The service experience is amazing there's preparation is customized for each order so there's a short wait. The ambiance is nice and there's few options for seating like chairs, booths, sofas, etc. Do like that there are a variety of bottled beverages available as well for quick orders. While there do check out the Alchemy Improv which is the reason I was there. Food orders are allowed in the theatre. Amazing service. read more

Espresso was solid, medium latte was a bit weak on the coffee, I should have added an extra shot Omelette: double mushroom (and they were fresh not canned), onion and feta was delicious! Onions sautéd brown not quite caramelized but better than 90% of what's out there Sourdough toast... meh It arrived cold and barely toasted... Probably God reminding me to lay off the carbs... All good 4.5 for cool hangout 4.5 for the omelette 5 for the people 2 on the toast 3.8 on the espresso 3.2 on the latte more like cafe o lait I'll be back armed with knowledge and some honey! read more

I had a hot vanilla coffee , tuna melt sandwich and my guest had a latte and a slice of cake. Everything tasted super good and no issues were discovered that day read more

The food was excellent. They have a vegan sausage option on the breakfast menu. I sat outside in the sun to enjoy the outdoor view but it got hot pretty fast. There are a few tables underneath that are shaded. Customer service was 4/5 only because I never found the water station as it wasn't in plain view. read more

At first look, the ambience is purely for vibes. Came on a busy day so register service was understandably slow, but the lack of cleanliness is not justifiable. Bathrooms were gross to the point of needing to squat to avoid touching the toilet. Not sure... feels like they're catering to an older version of service that doesn't work anymore -- expecting people to clean their own tables etc. As much as it would be nice to expect patrons to be decent, most are not nowadays! read more

I stayed downtown at a cute hotel downtown. I decided to take my pup on a walk to falls parks and was I happy to see a coffee shop on the way tucked under the ground. The service was great. I ordered a latte. I like the dark library vibes and the cute chairs. My coffee was great and I enjoyed it on my walk to falls parks. Stop in if you are downtown! read more

Great coffee. Great eclectic atmosphere. Breakfast was not so good. Everything was very heavy. Croissant was greasy and heavy, seemed very store bought-like, bacon was thin and overcooked. They ask for a tip, then you bus your own table, bring your food to your table yourself and then asked to wipe it down yourself. Again, if you want a good coffee, here you go. Desserts in the display looked good. But I wouldn't get food here again. Little bit of a gut bomb. read more

Coffee Underground - Yep. And bring your own food to your table too once your name is called. I.e. nothing is tip worthy here. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Great spot, in the basement and reminds me of an off the beaten path NYC or Princeton NJ type of place. Coffee is great! I ordered a Omelette with Cheddar, Sausage, Mushrooms, and Spinach, spot on! All in with a 20% tip as service was great, still cheaper than the powdered egg, water coffee, buffet price at the hotel. read more

Fun spot, and truly underground (on Coffee St) in downtown. French press is do it yourself, with instruction. Tons of space to sprawl out whether you're locking in by yourself to do some work, or joining a group for collaborative conversation. Open mic is often offered, hidden away in a room that is even further underground! read more

Visiting Greenville for a wedding we noticed this spot while walking around downtown. Great little coffee spot that has a nice menu of food and beverage options. Stand in line to order and your order is called to pick up at another. Various types of chairs and tables gives it a homey feel. Sit and work, have a meeting, or just stopping for a bit and drink, it's a cool and comfy atmosphere. I ordered a mimosa and Breakfast Crossiant with egg, cheese and, Canadian bacon. Large and delicious. read more

Coffee underground is a wonderful coffee shop and cafe right in downtown Greenville. Their menu is extensive so non-coffee drinkers can find something for themselves as well. They also have a full service kitchen. We really enjoyed their egg scrambles. The pricing is very reasonable !! The coffee drinks are solid! I like the eclectic vibe inside. There's definitely a regular crowd that hangs out and does work there -- which is nice! read more

The coffee was above average, but the baked goods were extremely dry and distasteful. However, the service was Uber, friendly.

Spunky, and cozy coffee vibes. You just feel cool walking into this coffee shop. Lots of drink options, and syrup choices. Plus this place has a great amount of food choices/dessert items. Staff is friendly, and I've never had bad service! read more

Ordered a bagel and it was rock solid :( The wait was long but the menu had a lot of options.

I went around 7:15 a.m. on a weekday, and there wasn't a line. I got a breakfast sandwich on a cheddar biscuit. The biscuit wasn't very flaky, and I probably will try something different next time. read more

Cool coffee spot & easy to miss. Cool setting and really good dessert options. The pie and cheesecakes were really good! Great pricing, fun atmosphere, Don't miss this spot if you are in the area! read more

I absolutely love this coffee shop in Greenville! Not only do they have amazing coffee, like the Italian espresso macchiato, they also have some of the best breakfast and pastries. It's such a nice place to hide away and enjoy sipping your coffee. I love that it truly is underground, and is a local gem. You won't find the same quality of food and drinks at a chain cafe! As always the staff is helpful and friendly. We were having a hard time narrowing down which pastries we would try, and they patiently guided us along. Though, I do wish we could order everything! My husband always makes sure to bring me by this cafe when we are in Greenville. I will say, it my favorite coffee shop we have been to. read more

About died. I haven't had a coffee like this before - so smooth, thick, and flavorful (pumpkin spice caffé latte). It is very warm and they are generous with the serving. I also got the Farmer's quiche which blew me away. It's also quite thick yet foamy. Oddly feels like wet bread on the bottom crust, but that texture worked. The ambiance is inviting and cozy/quiet enough to work in. The service was okay. read more

I've been a long term customer of Coffee Underground. They have the best coffee in the Upstate. It's a fun environment. I've even held business meetings successfully here. If you're in downtown Greenville it's worth a visit. read more

Line was long on a Sunday morning but it moved quickly. Brian muffin with pecans was delish, as was the bagel and lattes.
