My favorite coffee shop. Helpful staff, very laid back place... Excellent coffee. I'm a decaf person after drinking 12 cups a day of the strongest caffeine that I could find... Retirement is chill :-) Anyway their "Slow Joe" is outstanding. I've called and asked for a pound of Sloe Joe then run by and they have it waiting for me. If you like coffee, stop by. read more

Outstanding coffee house! I'm an x-barista and I can tell you their beans and brews are top-knotch. It's a great place to chillax and unwind, or wind-up if you get a double shot. The atmosphere is best described as "warm and cozy." Also Sullivans, rich with history and excellent dinning, is in the same building. Oh yeah, and Bee is the best barista ever--she deserves a raise. It was slammed when I was there last and, though she was alone, she remained professional and courteous the whole time. read more

My favorite study spot in Anderson. The white elephant and dirty hippie are my go to drinks. Their drip coffee is also good. And you can buy their beans in bulk which is super shwae! Their mugs are so fun too. It's usually quiet and there is comfy seating. And to top it off, the music they play is always a vibe. read more

Ecity Java - Dirty Hippie - THE best chai espresso I've ever had. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

This place has a very chill, relaxing environment. You can come here to meet up with a small group of friends or a quiet place to study. The barista was very sweet and helpful, even remade my drink when I made a mistake. The chocoberry deluxe is a raspberry chocolate drink that kinda reminds me of a tootsie pop. And my husband loved the white elephant. read more

Ecity Java - Menu 3/26/23 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Great place to get a unique coffee drink. I love that they list how many espresso shots are in their drinks. I've been about 4 or 5 times and I've learned to ask to tone down the amount of syrup because their coffees can be really sweet. If you're looking for a place to sit and loudly talk, I don't think this is the place--every time I've sat in, it's been more of a quiet work environment which I actually really appreciate. & some nice people work here! read more

Excellent service and coffee- love to support these smaller more personal businesses. They have a great rewards card program to that gets you a discount or a free coffee after several visits. read more

Funky little coffee shop in downtown Anderson! The cafe has a storefront on the street, but the door is actually mainly for a restaurant located down the hall, so it's an interesting set up. There's a loft above the counter where they refill coffee beans for counter access, and then the main seating area has tall ceilings and some good seating with tables. There aren't a ton of outlets, but there are a good number. The girl at the counter was super nice, and after a requested reboot the internet worked great. I had a regular coffee that was very good-they give you a cup and you serve yourself the type you want (specialty flavor is on rotation). They have a great selection of teas and I enjoyed my herbal vanilla almond tea. And for food, they have a rotating selection of bagels, so I tried the blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. It wants good, but I had to go light on the cream cheese it was so sweet. Would definitely come back! I was happy that I was able to find parking right out front that wasn't restricted to a 2-hour limit. read more

Love this place!! As a local college student, I come here quite often. They even have punch cards to earn a free coffee if you are a local ;) my favorite drink is the cherry bomb but the dirty hippie is also a classic. I've never gotten a drink here that I haven't like! Not too pricey either. The only down side is the speaker is not clear so even though they are playing bops, the quality of the sound is not the best. The vibes are indubitably cozy :) read more

Ecity Java - CHRISTMAS - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Holy crap. This is the best coffee I've ever had. I went several times over my short Christmas vacation with my mother and it's 45 minutes from her house. I don't care. So good. I had coffee and cappuccinos on separate occasions. The cappuccinos were made like they should be. And they roast the coffee on site! If I didn't have so much coffee at home already I'd have brought home pounds of the stuff. read more

Good little coffee shop in downtown area of Anderson. Good coffee ( black, dark roast )

Amazing coffee and amazing service. I was absolutely blown away by not only the kindness of the employees, but the flavor of my coffee!! I recommend mocha with coconut syrup. Will be coming here again! read more

I just moved to the area and wanted to find a small shop like this! It's perfect! I got the White Elephant- with vanilla chai, blended. I highly suggest it! It had just the right amount if chai and didn't have a poor aftertaste like some chai drinks cause. My brother got the Heath Frap - and he enjoyed that as well. It had the perfect amount of coffee taste to it. The staff was welcoming and the sitting area was comfortable and cozy. I can't wait to come back! PS. The St. Patricks Day cupcakes were delicious! :-) read more

Ecity Java - The White Elephant and a St. Patricks Day cupcake! Yum! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

A nice small cafe to have good coffee or a smoothie and good conversation. A great vibe. A favorite place for me.

Great space to spread out and study, yummy drink and friendly staff. Also A+ on the music selection! Definitely will be back!

I won't go so far as to say its the best coffee I've ever had, but they do have some unique offerings such as the popular white elephant. Its worth a visit just try something different. read more

Locally roasted with amazing taste! I love their coffee selection! Be careful not to miss this place as it's tucked away at the entrance to Sullivan's, but oh so worth the find!!! Go in for a cup of goodness with a Frap or other specialty drink or buy coffee by the pound & take it home for a daily fresh ground brew that beats the heck out of that prepackaged store mess hands down! Must try the Highland Fog roast! That's my favorite with its butterscotch caramel flavors. The kids love the Frap that has oreos in it. Must try!!!! read more

The coffee is awesome and the service is great. My favorite is the cold brew, especially "finished" with half and half. Their cold brew is VERY strong so it is "finished" with either water or half and half. Both are good but the half and half is amazing. A close second is the " Oreo Speed Wagon". I can't begin to do it justice with words. You'll just have to go and try it. The barista 'Jessi' recommended it and I was hesitant at first. I decided to try it just to try something new and WOW it's great! So, yea... it's a great place. read more

Good, but a little confused on personality. Seating just feels like a bunch of yard sales were blended together.

Everytime I drink coffee, I try to have it at a little local indie shop, not much different than ECity. This drinkery is located in a unique sort of facility that is a little bit of restaurant, a little bit of business park, and a little bit of strip mall. It shares the restroom with a nice dining establishment. The best part is that this joint offers its house-roasted beans, and it provides a nice atmosphere change to my typical South Carolina cup o' joe at "Peggy Sue's Diner." I enjoy my nice hot plate-warmed coffee every weekend, but ECity is one of those special places that give you that college/small-town feel. Just not so small town that your town is labeled "Where Neighbords Are Friends." I had some decaf before heading out with some friends for a night out, and it was easily the best cup of noncaffeine that I have had. This place serves great coffee, and I would highly recommend it for a relaxing place to do whatever tasks are needed to be done. read more

Much like an earlier post-er, I try to hit little coffee shops whenever possible. Thank God for GPS. This little place is very quaint. The woman behind the counter knew everyone that came in by name and their drink. Impressive, indeed. The coffee was excellent. So why 4 stars, vs 5? Their selection of baked goods was anemic. I think they had 3 varieties and from appearance, they did not look fresh from this am. I think a coffee shop should partner with a local bakery and co-sell. As I mentioned, it is Ecity Java, not Ecity Java and bakery so 4/5 seems fair (plus I am in a good mood since I have a great cup o' joe in front of me:) read more

they have wonderful coffee !! i come here often & they're constantly delicious no matter what i order. it's a wonderful study spot. they even have a student discount !! this is one of my favorite study spot to go to with friends. however, the wifi doesn't work anytime we come. so bring physical work or something that doesn't require internet. read more

A friend of mine used to work at this establishment. I've been here a couple of times, but it's been a while and I'm glad to say that the service and drinks are still great! The girl at the counter was super friendly and she made me the best chocolate almond latte with almond milk too! read more

I really wanted to love this place. They get three stars for being a local place and the atmosphere. I was very disappointed in the coffee. It seems to be very weak. I ordered a double shot of espresso with what was supposed to be one of the stronger coffees they had. It ended up being pretty weak and having very little crema. I went back on a subsequent trip and had the same experience. They might be OK for a cup of Joe but I would stay away if you're looking for good espresso or a beverage derived from such. read more

Slowest service ever. 1 kid serving, quite happily yanking orders for things that take him 10 minutes to make , meantime the line is out the door. Pathetic. read more

I love this place! The baristas are friendly, the place isn't too noisy, and of course, the food and coffee is great! Hands down the best coffee shop in Anderson, SC, for studying or hanging out. read more

Freshly roasted coffee, Hot or cold, lots of different flavors to experience, a comfortable place to sit and chat or get it to go. What more could you ask for. read more

If you're in Anderson, and you're looking for coffee, look no further. By far the best place in town. They roast their own coffee every week. The crew there is very friendly and helpful. Oh and a personal favorite of mine is the "sinful delight roast" if it's available I'd highly recommend it. read more

Tried the white elephant and it is very good!! Pretty sweet but I love the combo of espresso and vanilla chai tea... also creamy! Great vibe and although there's somewhat limited seating you can usually squeeze into a spot! read more

This is the best Vanilla Chai Tea I have ever had. My husband has the Vanilla caramel hot cofee. I would highly recommend this cofee house to anyone. I now go several times a month. If you drink your coffee in house it seems quiet and has Wi-Fi. The staff has always been very friendly. I really love it.. read more

Great local place. They roast their own beans. Nothing special about the food though. Rooms kinda dark, no outside windows.

I went here on Easter and the coffee was AMAZING, but the people working at the time were very rude. They whispered in front of us and laughed after. I was very disappointed. read more

I was visiting town for a wedding and found this place. The set up of the cafe was nice and inviting, but that was the extent of this place. The hipster girl behind the counter had no clue about coffee, was more interested in talking to her boyfriend at the end of the bar and trying to play trashcan basketball by throwing an empty bottle the distance of the bar into the trash than helping the customers. An seemed as though she was upset that customers walked in and she actually had to stop talking and do something. I could have handled that if she could have produced a decent espresso or latte but they were by far some of the worst I've ever had. The espresso was pulled to long, had no crema and tasted as if scorched. The latte tasted like warm milk. It had no body or flavor of coffee. This place could be great if it had a more friendly barista who had the skills to work the espresso machine. read more

Ecity Java was my favorite place to study and grab a cup of coffee! It's a quaint little coffee shop that makes you feel right at home once you walk through the door. It's a nice spot to do homework, or to catch up with an old friend. All of their coffee creations are to die for! Try the White Elephant. read more

If you want fresh coffee go elsewhere unless you like your shots of espresso aged for 2 hours at a time.

The Highlander Grogg is so awesome!!! Definitely the best coffee anywhere!! Starbu-who??

I was a regular customer here for years, but will never return. Every time the owner was there she was extremely rude to me. Regardless I tried to set up an interview with her for a class I was taking, she agreed to the interview but never showed up. she did not even make any effort to contact me. Many of the other employees there are just as bad. Usually spending more time on their phones or talking to their friends than actually working. Very unprofessional, does not deserve business. There is a much friendlier place just up the street. read more
