Grounds in my latte
Amanda M.

I really wanted to like Cooper River, especially since they are local and roast their own beans here but my experience fell short. The service was quick and friendly and the shop was very chill and laid back but the coffee was not good. The first sip I took was full of grounds as shown in a picture I took of the bottom of my cup. I take coffee pretty seriously and was a barista for 8 years. For $6 I would rather go somewhere else that pays attention to detail.

Checking this coffee shop out!!
Joan M.

Here, I thought that I was well versed on all the coffee shops within the Mt. Pleasant area, boy was I wrong. I came across Cooper River Coffee Roasters yesterday. It's located in a tiny strip mall on Ben Sawyer across from the Harris Teeter. A family run coffee roaster in business for nine years. How have I missed it?! The coffee is so so good. As for the vibe here, it's so nice & inviting with several different types of coffee beans from around the globe available to be roasted & to take home. The owner & his daughter were skillfully managing the shop yesterday. They informed me that this family run coffee roaster has been open 9 years!!! Good on them & no wonder... the coffee, staff & ambience in here could not be more hip & inviting. It's small but conducive to working in your laptop or meeting with friends over coffees, smoothies with some sweet treats. If you love freshly roasted coffee coming from a small locally owned family business... then this is your stop. Do not miss.

Cute place with good coffee! The man who made our coffee was very pleasant too. I will definitely be back to try more flavors

Matcha

Cute coffee shop + used bookstore next door = relaxing day off. The matcha was delicious and smooth, I got mine sweetened but I'd actually recommend unsweetened, the quality was good enough to get it without simple syrup or honey. I would life to try their coffee as well. I am always looking for great coffee places. The barista maybe owner was friendly and didn't hover while I was trying to order, the atmosphere was nice and lots of cool decor.

Awesome barista - she was super busy and kept her cool throughout the entire experience. I had a terrific iced chai tea latte and the hubs had a hazelnut latte. He said it was smooth and tasty.

Caramel frappucino
Amy Lauren S.

After a recent July 4th 5K race in Mt. Pleasant, two friends introduced me to Cooper River Coffee Roasters- and I'm glad they did. I've often run and driven by this coffee shop. which is on the way to Sullivan's Island. Stop here on your way to Sullivan's- you won't even have to turn against traffic to get to the island! Since it was post-run and I was hot, I ordered a caramel frappucino as a treat. When I go to coffee shops, I like to order treat drinks and not something I'd make at home myself. The frappucino was blended really well and smooth, with caramel taste throughout. I've been back and tried the cold brew, and it was delicious as well. Prices are very reasonable, and there's a board of specials if you want a flavored drink. Along with coffee drinks, you can also get smoothies, hot chocolate, pastries, or coffee beans to brew at home. The atmosphere is cozy and away from the hustle and bustle of Coleman Blvd. I look forward to trying some hot drinks when the weather cools down!

Cold Brew
Darren C.

Super flavorful cold brew! The service there was also great! I thought it was a great value for $3.

Front bar area
Maggie S.

Very cozy little coffee shop tucked in the plaza - nothing huge or flashy but I was pleasantly surprised by the coffee. I'm no expert but I thoroughly enjoyed the regular coffee, less so the lavender latte but that was more so my own fault for choosing a flavor I didn't love and less so the quality of the drink. The espresso was nice and strong and I'll come back and try a hazelnut or almond latte next time. Side note: if you like buying coffee beans, check this place out - there's a good variety and smells amazing!

a cozy spot for caffeination and edification
Josh E.

Great coffee! whether by the cup, mixed with other delicious flavorings, or just beans in the bag Also, a great spot to sit, read, and figure out Life and stuff

Katie S.

Amazing prices let me tell you!!! So so so many different flavors and types of drinks to try it's difficult to decide. I'm a cold brew fan all the way and I can safely say theirs is one of the best in the Charleston/Mount Pleasant area. Their specialty drinks as well are so clever and look delicious. Bonus, being able to see the brewing machine in the back and the rustic environment is so unique and cool. They also have some food options like bagels and muffins for a snack as well. The owner is super nice and accommodating. I highly recommend to anyone in the area.

The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the service throughout our lunch was attentive and welcoming. Everyone at our table loved their meals -- burgers, fries, and sandwiches all around with rave reviews. I ordered "The Bird," and it was absolutely delicious: perfectly cornmeal-breaded with a crispy fried crunch on the outside while staying incredibly moist and flavorful inside. Instead of cake, our group brought blueberry pies and vanilla ice cream, and the staff graciously took everything to the kitchen, sliced and plated the pie, added generous scoops of ice cream, and even placed birthday candles on each slice. Such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration extra special. The atmosphere along the water made it even better. Watching kayaks, paddle boards, and boats pass along Shem Creek while enjoying lunch was the perfect backdrop for a celebration. This has definitely become a new favorite spot for our group! Bringing my husband back for a date night soon!

There's a café/bar with a wide variety that isn't obnoxiously expensive and plenty of great books to choose from (and thankfully no Booktok section or ugly stickers covering gorgeous covers). There's a comfy seating area to read your book of choice and enjoy a delicious beverage. There's also plenty of unique and creative bookish gifts to get for your loved ones. Kind staff, clean place (including the bathrooms) and a great selection to choose from. 100% recommend!

It's definitely one of my rotating places for coffee and a work day.
