Some outdoor seating for a bit of peace, a countertop if you want to be in the magic being made, and tables to get some work done or catch up with friends and colleagues. I've heard business meeting, meetups, dates, podcasts and book club discussions. Love the place! The use of coffee bags as decorations and other rustic decor makes me happy. The icing to update the review is my little guy spilled his water, one of the staff made him a little crab craft to match his shirt just to cheer him up. That's just kindness.

I really wanted a place that roasts their own beans, and of course, I couldn't resist getting a scone while I was there. While I was visiting, a mother and her young daughter (probably around seven or eight) came in, and the daughter was so curious about how the coffee was made. It was really nice to see the staff take the time to walk them through everything--explaining the photos on the wall, the different types of beans, how they're grown, and where they source them from. It created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Experiences like that really stand out, and it's clear they care about both their craft and their customers. I'll definitely be going back again.

The pastry was a bit underdone. Looks like it may have been popped in the oven too fast and too furiously. Otherwise, amazing job SoCarolina! The TOMATO BACON PIMENTO CHEESE PIE is an homage to all the Southern Mommas. It is simply divine in all its cheesy tomatoey glory. Edited to add: the SWEET POTATO AND CARAMELIZED COFFEE CAKE is heaven! It's light and pillowy. Not too sweet, not too crumbly. Whoever concocted the idea for this creation has to know this is the potential masterpiece of everyone's morning. I was just missing the coffee with it, ha! The GINGER COOKIE is iced and sprinkled with sugar for texture. Also amazingly baked. I just wished it had some crystallized ginger pieces for more spice!

The woman that took our order was kind but the guy barista gave us a weird look, not super welcoming. Regardless, I ordered the Mt. Joy strawberry matcha and the syrup that they used seemed to be homemade and fresh - very delicious! They also made the matcha the right way and mixed it in a bowl outside of the cup and then poured it into the Oatly afterwards. My boyfriend got a cold brew with Oatly and was so impressed that he went vac and bought a bag to take back home with us. I lament not trying the food since it looks so good, but this is a stop that we're adding to the agenda next time for sure!

My husband snagged a Noble cider and I Grabbed a Walker Brothers kombucha. Both of these are brands that we have had before. However, they have more obscure brands as well. Our friends both had beverages that were on tap and enjoyed them. I like that you can sit inside or outside, and several families were parking in the lot and bringing their kids in to run around. On the way out, we noticed that there were a handful of board games in the entrance area. We would definitely come back!

They have rotating beer, wine, and cider on tap, plus a big selection of bottles and cans, too. What looks like Anne unassuming dive spot from the road, it is actually a nice interior with a huge outdoor space with tables and benches and a covered area that is shaded. Both the inside and the outside are welcoming and work for small conversations or groups. They often have a food truck on site, which is nice. The service has always been prompt and courteous, as all the fellow customers. We are lucky to have this place in West Ashley and Hope others will stop by and enjoy it.

I had a One Love Kombucha that is brewed in CHS. Blueberry basil was my pick and I finished the whole bottle. Yummy! The seating area inside is small and the place was packed. It was cool outside but sunny, so we were able to meet and enjoy their outdoor seating area. Definitely a great spot for a meeting if you can get a table. I will definitely continue to recommend this local shop.

We will definitely return to this great spot.

They have ample parking outside, cool vibe decor inside with lots of wall art. The staff were very helpful considering it was our first time & I didn't realize it was also a Vegan cafe along with being Gluten Free. I was kinda lost with the rather large menu. We settled on a coffee with Oat milk & a Tofu based spicy sandwich with avocado. It was good and I'm glad I gave this style of food a try. However it's not for me. In saying that what a fabulous restaurant for people who are vegan and or gluten free. You have tons of options here and should definitely check it out.

Rebecca, how can you not drink coffee, but spend half your morning writing reviews for coffee…read moreshops? Great question! As networking is a large portion of my job, I get to meet new people and spend more time with them during 1 on 1s. Biggby, who is owned by a networking friends family, and is also the supplier of coffee for our weekly One Million Cups meetings, is where you'll find a lot of us on Wednesday's around 10:30. Even as a non-coffee and pretty much non-caffeine drinker, they had a mango/blood orange drink that I can get without caffeine. I've had it on the rocks and a version that was thick and creamier. Both are good by me. Depending on how packed it is, you may or may not have to wait a few minutes for your order. But my that time I'm usually, so in-depth with my conversation that I don't notice the amount of time that passed. Another great spot for meetings!
