Asked the barista which was her favorite and the Cowboy Smore did not disappoint! Great drink and such a cool coffee spot! Lots of seating. read more

Cool little spot here in downtown Pickens. Thoughtful modernistic design and the cornhole boards with turf outside make it an approachable spot for many different walks of life. I had a standard oat milk iced latte that was very good & my fiancé had the same flavored with the "Gnarly Surfer" combo. Delicious all around. Friendly and prompt service. Will return here on our next trip to the foothills! FYI - Great stop if you're on the way to any of the parks in the surrounding northern areas. (Keowee-Toxaway, Table Rock, etc.) read more

Baristas were amazing and fun to chat with! Coffee and muffins were so good! Will be going back!

Very inconsistent. Sometimes amazing, sometimes awful. They never have cream cheese so dont bother going for a bagel. read more

Service, hospitality, response time, friendly atmosphere. Great coffee. Everything went great, I love Coyote Coffee. It's way better than any starbucks!!! read more

Wonderful coffee and nice outdoor sitting/activity area. My daughter, from Seattle, wants us to send her coffee grounds from coyote coffee, every couple of months as a Christmas gift. She lives in the land of exquisite coffee... And she counts coyote coffee among them. read more

THIS LOCATION DOES NOT HAVE A LUNCH MENU. But the service was friendly and kind enough to make a quick pivot recommendation for us as we were traveling through and had made the pick based on the website. Sure hope to try their other location next time because the options sure looked great read more

Service was horrible tonight around 6. not used to this type of service here! it was very dirty in the store. which is not normal. mind you that no one else was in the store nor the drive through. One of the girls keep joking around with this boy that was in the store not taking my order. the other girl was just hanging around out back. and my ham egg and cheese croissant was cold. Dylan, please let go of them two girls. i've seen them both in here doing the same exact thing. One always talking to that Boy the other girl is sometimes doing her job the other one is ALWAYS talking to that boy. Please fire them both. read more

Came in on a rainy day 07/29/2025 and I was greeted by the sweetest barista, I am sure her name was Aubrey or Audrey. She had a big smile. She's always kind and, hands down, the standout at this store. Every time I come in and see her, my day gets brighter because I know my coffee will be perfect, and from our conversations, it's clear she's strong in her faith, which makes her even more special. She made my spiced chai with so much care it was warm, cozy, and exactly what I needed. Meanwhile, the other girl just stood on her phone, but Aubrey or Audrey completely carried the experience with her kindness and great service. Coyote is lucky to have her. read more

I ordered a regular coffee with cream. The cream was flavored, so I was not a huge fan of it. The atmosphere was rather pleasant with plenty of seating available. I could see this spot to be a good working area as well. Bathrooms were clean. read more

Great little coffee shop in a small town. Great coffee, pastry, and atmosphere. Staff was very friendly!

Well, that was delicious! What a great find. Plenty of outdoor seating for bringing your dog along. The food was yummy, and the staff were friendly. And hey don't forget to check in for a free cookie. Glad we found this place. read more

I go there EVERY MORNING on my way to work! They have the nicest workers that greet you as soon as you walk through the door, they make it a point to remember your name, also their frozen white coyote with an extra shot whip cream and extra drizzle is AMAZING!!!! read more

This coffee shop has great customer service. Smiling friendIy faces greet each person who walks in. Highly recommend!

Great drinks,fast service, kind people! the new location is great and really pretty i do wish that they had food, but they got rid of all the food options (accept for muffins) read more

Best coffee ever! I love walking in the door and being greeted by smiling faces and a "good morning"! the employees are super sweet and the decor is so nice! read more

I miss the old location and menu. They no longer serve the sandwiches and other food they used to have, and we miss that. I get they wanted a drive through that they now have at the new location, but it doesn't have the character anymore that the old bank had. We don't stop there anymore read more

I absolutely love the new place. Huge fan of the drive thru! Friendly staff, quick service and much better coffee and drinks than that other place. Whenever I get a chance, I stop by and I haven't been disappointed yet. read more

The new location is absolutely beautiful! And the coffee is still top notch, as always!

Best coffee around town!! Thanks for upgrading the drive through. Friendliest staff and wonderful new location! Thank you for making Pickens Great!! read more

Love this adorable coffee shop! I recently had the Harvest Delight (with cinnamon and caramel) from their fall menu and it was delicious! I love their raspberry white chocolate muffins and chicken salad in a jalapeño cheddar wrap. I also love the locally made items they carry. I bought a cute Clemson dog bandana the other day! read more

Love the coffee here, we actually go here even though there is 2 Starbucks in pretty close range. Personally I'd say it's cheaper than most places with a good variety. read more

Very weak, nearly tasteless coffee. The space is very nice--bright and welcoming. The three teenagers behind the counter were polite, attentive and friendly. I don't understand how the coffee could have been so bad. read more

I'm riding a bike to every coffee shop in America, so parts of my review will reflect that perspective! Firstly, it is on the downtown strip which as a bicyclist is my favorite kind of coffee stop. Easy to bike to and I enjoy looking around at old buildings and looking for murals It has outdoor seating, which is also a plus, as I like to be outdoors as much as possible and watch the world go by. The server was neither unfriendly or friendly. I do prefer the talkative types as a big part of the reason I hit local coffee shops is for the possibility of conversation. This is a hard one to really rate though because everyone can't be on all the time Interior feel was open and airy bathroom was clean 4.5 stars for this fine little stop in Pickens, South Carolina. If I ever roll through here again, will definitely stop in read more

Cute little coffee shop with good food and good drinks if you're on your way back from the Lake. Great kids drinks, the biscotti was good, late was great, and they had an extensive menu. Very refreshing and convenient location in between Lake Jocassee and Greenville in small-town USA, Pickens SC. read more

Their pesto breakfast sandwich was SOO GOOD! Unfortunately their matcha tea latte was not what I'm used to. It tasted fine but way too much water and no sugar/sweetener at all. If that's what you're into then it's great! But they should let you know it comes like that. I'm used to a creamier matcha and there was just more water than milk in mine then I would've like. Other than that the environment was wonderful too! read more

We visited the Pickens location today, and while the coffee was the same as the 2 other locations we've visited, I much prefer the atmosphere at this location. The architecture and interior design of the shop are remnant of a simpler time. This location also seems to have a much wider array of items for sale. Today, I had the iced Hay Stack which is a nice pumpkin-based autumn drink. I also had a cookie. Good stuff; thanks, Coyote. read more

I recently moved to the Clemson area (Central) and I was pleasantly surprised to find this gem! I enjoy reading and studying in coffee shops with a peaceful vibe and this fit the bill. From the moment I walked into the historic front door, I knew I'd found something special. The menu is extensive with coffee drinks, protein shake, smoothies, and food to fit your mood. Try the Skinny Chick Chicken Sausage English muffin or the Big Buffalo salad. Delish! Coyote Cafe has three locations. Pickens(my fav), Powdersville and Easley. They have a "frequent customer" program too! read more

Stopped in as we are visiting and staying at a near by Airbnb. I ordered the Veggie Smolder on sourdough and it was hands down amazing. May have to grab one before heading home, or try to remake it once we are back home in Florida! The coffee was okay, a little sweet, but that was my fault for not going with sugar free option. Super cute interior and friendly staff. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area or want to fuel up on caffeine and grub before hiking/sight seeing! read more

The place is super cute. I loved the atmosphere. We got three sandwiches and they were okay. The lettuce was old and rotten (had to take it out). We also had some fruit and it was molded. Good thing we saw it before eating it. Hope the rest of our food doesn't make us sick since we didn't complain and ate it. read more

Cute atmosphere, good Chai latte and Buffalo Chicken wrap, friendly enough. Overall enjoyable time.

Loved the ambience, the food, the coffee, and service. Such good stuff and great people.

This has been my hangout spot lately. The coffee is always great, the music is awesome, the vibe is comfy. I'm able to chill here while reading a book. I cannot speak for the food beyond a couple of pastries that I've had (they were very yummy). However, I hope to try out breakfast or lunch soon. The coffee is much much more flavorful than their commercialized giant counterparts (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts) so you cannot go wrong. If coffee isn't your thing, they also have smoothies available. Oh, and Biltmore wines :). Also, there is usually live music on the weekends. Pickens is starting to make its footprint in the Upstate with Coyote Coffee in the area so definitely stop by! read more

Cool building and neat ideas there, although with all the windows it can get cold in the winter. Great coffee and service, medium speed wifi. Garage doors open and games in the spring and summer. Weird drive through, but it's good enough. I like it! (And it's locally owned!) read more

My wife and I went in to have a bite to eat and get a coffee. The bad time started with no menu at the table. When we ordered it was kind of odd that they didn't have an area where we could add our own stuff to our coffee such as real creamer and we enjoy honey with our coffee which they had to added at the counter. Kind of odd that they are so close to a major honey store in the area. When the food came the waitress asked if there was anything else I needed and I said napkins which she pointed up to the counter and said they are up there. Not what I expected when asked if I needed something elMy wife got the Blue Ridge Croissant but wanted it on an English muffin. The disappointing part was that it turned out to be half the size of what she would have got and she was not told about this. This would have been fine if the price was reduced some, but when we asked about this the manager said she can't do that because the owner would be upset. Well I guess they think the owner would rather have a bad review than a happy customer. This is a place that is now taken off my list to visit. Update: the owner did reach out to me to make things right with us. However I have not had a chance to visit the location again to see how things are now. I very much appreciate the effort that was made after our visit and hope this makes people reading this review aware they are like any business in which they have some issues but better that they work to make things right with their customers. read more

Really cute place. Excellent coffee & tea choices, smoothies AND healthy food options! All yummy! Only caveat- you better not be in a hurry. It took at least a half an hour to order and get our food item, coffee, and smoothie to go. We weren't in a hurry thank goodness! And it was worth the wait! read more

Super cute! Menu is amazing for all ages! Passing through town, so glad we stopped! Wish we lived closer to come back again!

We've driven by this charming coffee shop several times on our way to Keowee Key and finally stopped. I had a chicken salad wrap which was good. The cashier recommended grape salad which consisted of grapes in a sweet cream cheese mixture. Yummy! My husband had a protein shake and would order again. We ended up stopping again the next day for an afternoon coffee. So much variety in the menu, we couldn't help but return. This is likely a spot we will visit often. read more

WOW! I have been a fan of Coyote Coffee for over a year now, so I had to stop by their new location in downtown Pickens and they did not disappoint! The owner kept many of the original bank features ( checkout the massive bank vault behind the counter ). This new location is large and spacious, perfect for grabbing your favorite beverage ( or one of their delicious pastries ) and enjoy the scenery. Go by and check this new location out! read more
