We popped in before a day of Charleston adventure and we were beyond pleased. The shop itself is super adorable and I love the ode to the classic movie Point Break hung in back! We got the Salty Cowboy with almond milk and it was absolute caramel & coconut perfection. I will definitely stop in again when I come back. read more

Good coffee, one of my go to cafes its always consistent. Not a fan of the croissant it is unnecessarily gigantic read more

Point Break Coffee and Drive Thru - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I love their seasonal menus. I'm always happy with their selection. They recently added a self ordering station inside making it really easy to order. I do hate that that they took the pickled red onion away when they got rid of the hummus toast. read more

Point Break Coffee and Drive Thru - Avocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

This is a very cute coffee shop that allows dogs!!! I got an iced mocha, a (march special) mint smoothie, and a egg croissant sandwich. It was all amazing. Especially the smoothie! The staff was friendly and prompt. The seating was comfortable. read more

Very nice staff! So inviting. Nice, calm atmosphere to sit, work, or relax. There are tables to sit, swings at the front and server all seats at the bar area. Also have a drive thru which is nice. Ordered an iced Cereal Killer latte with almond milk, it was so so good. I'm someone who likes to have dessert-like coffee and this hit the spot. Cup size is worth the $5.75 + 75¢ for milk alternative. Egg and cheese croissant was huge and the croissant was a buttery, flaky, melt in your mouth type of good. Egg is the premade kind, still great. Cheddar cheese I believe. They press it on a griddle. Added avocado spread for $1.75 (probably wouldn't get that added again bc of the price). They also have several grab and go options. Definitely will be returning! read more

I came here on a weekday to do a little work "not from home". Inside they do have a couple of tables that you can plug your laptop into and even a high top bar. I didn't realize it was a drive-through until I sat down, but I love that concept! Their menu is a little lackluster, but they do have some good flavors for drinks. A little bit more expensive than I was expecting, but the ladies inside were so nice and friendly! Every time I heard someone come in they greeted them as though they knew who they were and ask questions about their lives. read more

Really cool place, fun atmosphere but the coffee was not good. I was excited to try a holiday drink and it was just watered down bitter coffee. Pretty disappointed. read more

I love the menu and have eaten in and gone through the drive through many times. Prices aren't low but aren't absurdly high either; quality justifies it I think. I have been given the wrong order one time in the drive through but just let it go since it was similar enough, but otherwise--always a good experience. Will 100% return. read more

Initially this place was a vibe and felt like I found one of my new favorite coffee spots. However the vibe quickly changed once your inside and start dealing with staff. The girl at the register obviously did not want to be there and appeared to be working the front register as well as the drive thru window. And I am not sure who the older lady was (maybe one of the owners?) but she did not give anyone any warning or heads up she just shut off the lights and started telling us to leave as they close at 12pm on Wednesdays. Which is fine however she continued to rush us all out like she was herding cattle. I walked up to the register to ask if they had stickers or decals to put on my laptop, car, etc. and before I could even ask she again shouted "We are closed now!" so I didn't even get to ask. Coffee was good but service not so much and for that I personally will not be back. Especially when Muddy Waters, Dawn Patrol, and Huriyali are all close by and provide not only better options but an even better atmosphere. read more

Point Break is the coziest, cutest coffee shop around. I love to drop my children off at school and head straight here for some quiet time before a busy day of work. The coffee and smoothies are yummy, the baristas are personable and the environment is amazing. highly recommend! read more

I hung out here while waiting for my doggie to finish up at the doggie spa. Perfect place to just chill with a nice cup of coffee and an OMG-HUGE chocolate croissant! read more

Point Break Coffee and Drive Thru - Chocolate croissant & a hot latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

super nice beachy vibes and everything to drink and eat is delicious! music is nice and overall environment is great to hang out in!

Went on my break from school to have a study session, food and drinks were extremely overpriced and the avocado toast i ordered came out smelling RANCID. the sliced hard boiled eggs smelled rotten and I tried to ignore the smell and took a few small bites before returning it. Tasted just as bad as it smelled. I have no clue how you prepare a sandwich and don't recognize that stench. I told them about the smell, and that i couldn't even eat the sandwich because of it and all i got was a "aw sorry", no offer to replace it or fix the issue at all. i packed up my things immediately and left. My stomach has been hurting all day since. i work in the food industry and try to be understanding but this was just absolutely insane. read more

The coffee was delicious and the service was also great! I Highly recommend it to any of my friends.

The inside is the best part of the experience. Food and drinks left much to be desired for the price you pay.

It's so nice to have a coffee shop with such a good community like this on James island! I adored drag bingo and will be back for more fun events!! read more

Great spot to grab a quick coffee. The iced latte is brewed perfectly. Service is fast and staff are very nice. We did not try the food, but the plain butter croissants and chocolate croissant looked amazing. Nice place to do work. read more

Point Break Coffee and Drive Thru - Iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Point Break the bank. $18 bucks to a small Americano and smoothie. Not worth it. Subpar coffee and smoothie.

Lovely space, but they don't seem to be very organized and it took about 30 minutes to get an iced coffee. I had the Phatt toast to eat and took it go because everything too so long. I may have gotten there on a bad day so I will have to try to go back again soon! read more

Awesome cold brew! Get this every morning before work. They have great coffee options as well as breakfast and pastry options. Also, they host some fantastic local events like drag bingo, exercise classes, jewelry making, and local markets. Go here for coffee and a snack! The Mable Mae's treats are amazing (and vegan/gluten free). read more

I stumbled on this cafe while trying to find something that was open later on weekend that I could write/read at. They have a simple selection of wines, and their breakfast and coffee selections are really good. My favorite is getting the avocado toast. I have gotten their smoothies on occasion, but so far they haven't wowed me. I've gotten the berry smoothie and it always tastes like straight Vanilla whey. (Either whoever is making it puts too much in, or it has never been blended properly.) The staff is relatively friendly and the times I have been in, the place has been clean and organized. The drive thru is convenient if you're looking to stay on the move, but be warned that the parking lot itself is insanity. (This does not pertain to the business itself, just keep an eye out for the other people around you that cannot drive and haul butt through the lot.) Point Break also hosts several events such as Bingo, Paint and Sip, and a night bazaar. read more

5 stars to this local woman owned business! The specialty menu items are always so fun and the barista's are amazing--service and food exceptional! If you're looking for a fun, energetic and cute vibe, this is the place. read more

LOVE Point Break!! Get the açaí bowl, the phat toast, the strawberry matcha or the Carmel and vanilla late. Also you can never go wrong with Mabel Mae's and they have her goodies too. read more

I love this place!!! Drag Bingo is the most fun every time, and the workers are so sweet, dress super trendy, and actually remember you!!! It's always just good vibes and good coffee/ food!!! read more

I left this place this morning because the staff ignored me. Two workers put money in the register less than five feet away. This place won't last. read more

The vibe is friendly and relaxed with a mix of modern as well as a blast from the past in the form of Patrick Swayze. The cowboy coffee was bold enough to taste coffee but smooth enough to be a pleasant drink. The honey lavender latte was aromatic and light. The gluten free pastries were a pleasant surprise as well as being a delicious treat when many occasions gf turns out to be bland disappointments. Way to go Point Break, we loved it! read more

Cozy little place that offers drive thru. There is a sign behind the register that says exact change only. I asked if that meant coins or dollars because I only had a $20 on me. She acted like it was a big deal but could accommodate giving change back. My total was $14.90 btw. I ordered cold brew and a large drip. She couldn't tell me how many ounces was in the cold brew "about a medium" was what I was told. Then she showed me the cup.. ok so 16 ounce cup. Geez. If you work here you should know the sizes. In. Ounces. I ordered the last chocolate croissant for my boyfriend. It was ginormous. It was also over $6. I asked about the GF cookies. $9 for 2 cookies was out of my price point. My boyfriend said the croissant was delicious! So definitely try that if they have it when you are there! My cold brew was a little bitter. As in it tasted more like an iced coffee instead of a smooth cold brew, or it had grounds still in the brew. Working in a coffee shop myself, cold brew is my jam in warmer months, and this missed the mark by a lot. My boyfriend did enjoy his drip coffee and said it was good. Not a bad place at all, just being a card i suppose and go for warm drinks. read more

The fact that they now have a drive thru is a game changer! JI needed a fun, cute coffee shop and Point Break delivered! Bites and smoothies are also on point. The coffee is really tasty and reasonably priced. They are also always doing fun pop ups and events so check this place out!! read more

Such a cute spot! I love the convenience of a drive through coffee shop with the option of great ambiance inside. The inside is absolutely adorable with plenty of seating in a great 'instagram-able' environment. As long as you can handle a bit of noise at peak times, there are plenty of tables to bring a laptop to for a change of WFH scenery or to meet a friend. They serve coffee and tea/smoothies etc. that you would expect from a coffee shop, and also have a curation of wine! The coffee is strong (a good thing!) and the food options are great. I have not personally been blown away by the food, but have never been disappointed! read more

I love coming to Point Break for food and drinks. They have house-made energy drinks which are SO good and the flavors are endless! The açaí bowls are always filled up and it's definitely the best I've had in CHS! Staff is super friendly and helpful also. read more

This place is super good, they give you so much avocado on the toasts and it's a super good value when other places give you like one slice for the same price. read more

If the lids would fit the cups, that would be nice. The staff is generally alert. Parking not a problem.

Amazing smoothies and coffees. Greta. Egan options. Not crazy pricey. Just a great place!

I've been wanting to come and try for so long, I follow them on instagram and obsessed always with their content and their drinks always looks so yummy. So when I had a chance this morning I finally went, and it didn't disappoint! I didn't realize it was in the same area as that Publix right of the James island bridge but parking was so easy there. They have a drive through which is so easy but I went inside and it was so cute very aesthetic and quiet. The people there seemed so cool and chill that worked there, they helped me pick out a yummy drink which was a honey lavender latte with whole milk, delicious. I think lavender is a big trend recently in coffees and sometimes it can be a tad over powering and sweet but I like sweet but this was the perfect amount honestly wasn't too overpowering. I wish I got food but I had lunch plans already but I sat for about an hour there and did some work. Also I usually have headphones because either I don't like a places music or it's too loud but I forgot mine today and was worried but music taste phenomenal, creds to who ever had that playlist on. It is on the smaller side but it was perfect for me to get some work done! Will be back to try their pastries and food! read more

Great service and a great selection! Coffee was on point! A great quick stop when you need a pick up and go. Cant recommend enough!

great service and a cute spot to do work! Coffee is consistently good and the acai bowls are a great size for the price!

Me and my hubby visited for a wedding from Florida , thought the atmosphere was amazing! Super cute store, however the food? Oh my. Bland and disgusting. The girls were quite sweet working there but for the price of everything . TOTALLY a rip off. I got an uncooked bowl of oatmeal w fruit topping because they didn't have Yogurt. The oatmeal wasn't flavored so I just got raw unflavored oatmeal with some fruit on top. My husband got a ham egg and cheese croissant and they asked if he wanted avocado. We expected a fresh avocado and were met with a sour limey tasting soup like pesto on it and we tried scraping as much off as possible but the flavor was so strong and strange, then we got two coffees vanilla Carmel coffees. Some regular shots of vanilla and Carmel you get from any store, tasted like something my kid made for me. It was so bland and it made my stomach turn by how sweet it was at the same time. And an everything bagel that wasn't toasted and was LOADED with cream cheese . Which we asked them not to do. We spent a total of $45 on those items. I don't recommend this place for anything but atmosphere and aesthetic. Edit: to add to this the manager (I'm guessing) took it upon herself to message me complaining about my review. I found it highly unprofessional and condescending. I am being honest about My experience and to Each is own. I'm not one for Bland flavorless food. But there are plenty of people who like things with extra extra lime on a Ham and cheese croissant(even though it's called guacamole not fresh Avocado). This was about Me and my husbands experience and im allowed to share it in whatever way I want!! I'm happy I don't live here because Id be scared to walk by!! And since I forgot to mention they forgot to unlock the doors 5 minutes after opening . Doesn't seem like much but me and him sat outside for 10 minutes (prior to opening, our choice we were up Early) watching everyone set up shop and had to Call to get them to come open the door. We were first in line, and there was a hefty line of people after us. We aren't from there as I said and were starving at that point and it was easier to spend the money eat the food and leave a review to help encourage growth in the business . Instead of waiting again for Every item to be remade when they shouldn't have been messed up the first time. Not to be rude. But it was a piece of bread with ham egg and cheese on it . A bagel . And some oatmeal.. and some coffee. I of all people know that's a 15 dollar meal max. And easy to make. - (Since the manager felt the need to point out I didn't bring it back or say anything in her message to me) good luck to this business. read more

This has become my new go-to coffee shop for studying! I LOVE that they have a ton of made in house energy drinks that aren't coffee based (lavender lemonade is my favorite). Their coffee drinks are delicious too and they have a great selection of açaí bowls and pastries, including vegan and gluten free! The ambiance inside is very boho chic and relaxing. Couldn't recommend it more! read more
