Great coffee ! Great service ! Great food ! Stopped off the road thanks to the other Yelpers ! I had shrimp and grits ( only thing to have in South Carolina ) and my friend had a breakfast burrito. Really a gourmet meal. It was packed on a weekday morning and I know why. read more

There aren't too many good breakfast spots in Florence but FE Pops is an option that is pretty good. It's definitely a locals restaurant for people meeting up and chewing the fat. It's nice inside for the most part with paintings on the wall which are for sale. It was, however, pretty cold. The temperature read 63° on the thermostat. Service was good but I was a little surprised that we had to ask for salt and pepper which is typically expected to be on a table when you sit down. Our breakfasts were good though and I'm definitely impressed with their eggs. Way too many restaurants over cook scrambled eggs but FE Pops nailed it. Fluffy and not dry. The bacon was perfect too but I wasn't too impressed with the sausage patties. It sort of had the "Brown and Serve" flavor. No big deal though. Grits only come with cheese which was a little disappointing but they were still good. Potato home fries were good. Definitely would come back here. read more

Nice brunch café enjoyed the soft music of the guitar playing in the background and the food was great. Will come again!

One of my top five favorite places to go to get coffee or to meet someone in Florence. The service is kind and treats me like a friend. And there is just the right amount and kind of seating options indoors and outdoors. read more

Great brunch, had the 5 points platter. Great grits. Coffee was perfect. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere with lots of seating options for just coffee or to sit and eat read more

Delicious breakfast and brunch food. Nice service and a chill atmosphere. Lots of great coffee options too!

I stopped in for lunch today and this place is really good. I will be back. Too few good places in Florence this is a good one.

Have had several weekend brunches here which are always very good. Popular in our group are the shrimp & grits, breakfast burrito, skillets, BLT and salads - so basically everything on the menu. Today we sat outside and enjoyed yet another great meal while someone casually strummed their guitar and sang. I don't know if they were providing entertainment in an official capacity or just vibing but it was perfect atmosphere either way. Just don't go in a hurry as service is always friendly but generally casual and relaxed. New ideal Saturday morning is FE Pops followed by Palmetto Bakeshop. Gotta support our local businesses! read more

Absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Best americanos and the food quality was out of this world!! Staff was friendly and great customer service!!!

If you are getting coffee that's fine but if you plan on getting food make sure you have nothing else to do the rest of the day. It will take so long to get your food you will forget what you ordered. read more

We waited over an hour for food. Grits were lukewarm. Coffee was good. I would definitely stop in for a "Togo" coffee but will not return to dine in. read more

This was the best food i've ever had! First, the inside was ADORABLE! Next, The servers were SO nice i got my food at an instant! DEFINITELY recommend to people who are visiting Florence or haven't had their food yet. Thank you Tommy Bolger for opening this WONDERFUL Café/ Restraunt read more

Such a perfect brunch stop on our road trip. Everyone got what they wanted--from vegetarians to meat lovers. Brunch menu has about 7 options, meaning all are good. Faves were garden breakfast and hash. Service was lovely--food took a little while to come out so this was not a quick stop. Gave us time to enjoy the company and food! read more

FE Pops - Grits, eggs, bacon, potatoes, patio seating - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

This was such a gem for a small town! Love the layout of the place. The vibe and menu is great for either grabbing a cup of coffee or having a sit down brunch. I'm vegan and was hoping for some good options, but it seems they only run good vegan menu items occasionally? Not sure exactly the deal with that. Would visit again. read more

Great atmosphere. Food is pretty good. I have tried several different menu options here. They were all good. My only complaint is I which there where a few more items or options on the menu. My wife loves This place as well. read more

Always great service. Perfect coffee shop atmosphere and a great brunch. We enjoy stopping by in the morning for a quick iced coffee or bringing the kids on the weekend for brunch. There's a nice outdoor patio when the weather is nice. Definitely recommend! read more

Best atmosphere for coffee, brunch or dinner! We love the deck and outdoor seating. Saturday morning brunch is hopping and always delicious. We go for coffee at least once or twice a week and dinner occasionally and you can't go wrong with either the food or drinks. The menu options for dinner are unique and scrumptious. The service is always friendly-even in these trying times of understaffageddon! One of Florence's best kept secrets. read more

My partner and I have eaten here quite a few times and have now made it our weekly dinner spot. They serve a different vegan option every Wednesday and boy do they never disappoint. Every single dish we've had has been exquisite.... So much so that we don't even look at the menu beforehand anymore -- letting it be a surprise has made it all the more interesting. Serious props to the chef behind these meals! read more

When I say loud I was talking about people taking. If a restaurant or other places with lots of people talking only has hard services then the sounds bounce off of ceiling and walls making it very loud. Some places have soft panels on the walls and or ceiling to prevent sounds from bouncing all over the place. read more

Nice, relaxed place to enjoy a cup of coffee. Not sure if it is just high quality beans, a high quality barista, or a combination of both but the latte I had was perfect: velvety foamed milk and nice, mild, non burnt tasting coffee. I do wish they had more consistent food offerings though. The food looks amazing but they were not offering lunch/brunch on the day I went. read more

We went for Saturday brunch. They ran out of potatoes, which wasn't horrid, but our server was. I didn't realize that I wouldn't get asked if I needed cream or sugar for my coffee as most places automatically bring it. She didn't ask and brought me black coffee, which was ok, but she hardly ever checked on us at all. My husband had to go in and ask for creamer, which she never brought, so I finished the black coffee and finally caught her to give me a refill with cream and sugar. The worst part was that the server for the tables next to us was on it and served her folks so well. We literally saw her pass by us 4x as much as we saw our own server, which was a huge disappointment. I'm sure the place is great, and the food was ok, but our particular server was a big zero as far as service goes. So disappointed in that aspect! Service is so much of the experience, especially when it's our first time at a place. read more

FE Pops - Coffee and a cute atmosphere outside. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

Tuna steak and lentils are a crazy combo but they make it work well. Was a great dinner

What a cute place with delicious food! The service was also great with full attention with delicious mimosas! The coffee was made with love! We sat outside on the adorable terrace with special "fly repellent fans". Definitely recommend!! read more

Ever changing gourmet menu. Great service and food. Quaint and never super busy. Definitely a place to go at least once a month.

Love this place! Hands down the best place to get coffee around town. Fair pricing too. Brunch is also always delicious and enjoyable. The vibe of this place is contemporary and laid back. Outdoor seating is available, and the inside looks like an old home that has been repurposed (it may or may not be, I'm new to town and don't know the history). But it's very bright and cozy. I haven't been for dinner yet, but I plan to! read more

They can't even make a good latte. For a place that only serves food once a week you would think they at least have coffee making down. Nope. read more

We went to F. E. Pop's for brunch. We sat there for 20 mins and no one even brought us a menu. I had to ask. Then after sitting there I got up and asked if we had a sever and she said we are trying. And I was like, the manager needs to get in the trenches and help. He was walking around with a cup of coffee like he was making friends.We were trying to help small restaurants in Florence, SC because they have struggled since the pandemic started and we didn't even have eye contact made with anyone working there. We got up and left. read more

Oh wow! Such great coffee and great food! love the atmosphere and everything about this place. read more

Excellent salad and good service. Got the greek salad with grilled shrimp for a light dinner.

Eclectic refuge within sight of Five Points. Relaxed is the mood. Went for brunch, we had the burrito and the hash. The roasted tatos are to die for, could have eaten a vat of them. Chef is not afraid to mix things up- hello banana peppers in the burrito! Coffee is strong. Great to see a place in Flo Town that goes a little off the map. Waitress Hannah gets a shout out. read more

Had the Grilled Chicken and couscous. It was great and the vibe is just right. I highly recommend this cool little spot for dinner or coffee. read more

I just wanted a good hot fresh cup of coffee - never easy to find at 6 pm - but WOW! I'm so glad I came here! I didn't just get coffee...I got a piping hot and fresh Americano (it was perfect!), a delicious Chicken Caesars salad, excellent customer service and a relaxing porch to enjoy it all. You won't be disappointed! read more

Amazing place to enjoy time with friends. Great coffee, outdoor seating area and great meals! Love this place!

My partner and I live a quarter mile away and just ate here for the first time. We had brunch, and it will not be our last time. I think we've found a new spot!! read more
