    Pastries and confections
    Lauren S.

    Quaint and tucked away under live oaks Second State outdoor seating provides a peaceful retreat to read a book, solve your crossword, and sip your coffee. Inside is a bit more lively primarily made up of groups chatting and remote workers. The ice mocha had a hint of spice to hit like a Mexican hot cocoa. Possibly the cinnamon and spice hints from the coffee beans or maybe a secret ingredient to add a nice touch. Snag a tasty pastry and coffee to kickstart your day.

    Very good latte wish they had some sugar free syrups nice and helpful staff very quiet and calm

    Very cute small location. The baristas were kind and whipped up great lattes. Their pastries were also very good and a decent size. This would be a good place to chill or work/study.

    Brown sugar latte and blueberry scone
    Emily V.

    Met a friend here for morning coffee and a chat, we both intended to work here after but it's a bit loud and lots of in and out so wasn't ideal for that. The coffees were great and came out quick relative to the length of the line. The staff are friendly and efficient. Their scone was really good too! Parking is easy and they have several table options.

    Prepping for our tasting
    Lowanda J.

    Went to Second State for their monthly complimentary coffee tasting they hold on the 2nd of each month. This was an educational session I didn't know I needed. Our educational consultant (Brianna) was very knowledgeable about the varietials of each bean and filled our minds as well as our nose and palates with the great taste of coffee, great information, and a great communal gathering. Really relaxing vibe and cool event. Looking forward to the next session.

    Cute spot that's worth searching out. Comfortable, sunny, free WiFi, friendly and skilled staff. Our barista recommended several options and we chose a honey lavender latte that was perfection. My friend had a special request and they were move than happy to accommodate. Nice selection of non coffee options and baked goods (nothing gluten free on our visit but looked great!) with plenty of easy parking up front. We will be back.

    Amazing coffee and waffles! Highly recommend! Fantastic staff and incredible attention to detail!

    Peach Second State Matcha
    John B.

    Arriving at this location on the edge of town (out of several locations) yielded a somewhat limited food menu. I wasn't up for sweets, but the idea of a peach-flavored matcha latte was interesting enough. On the scale of what it might have been, it was more matcha than peach, plenty bitter with just a hint of the local fruit du jour. Not a large beverage, but it was ready quickly. I may try one of their other locations if I do find myself more in need of a waffle.

    Lavender latte   Yummy
    Safiyyah S.

    This place was cute, nice atmosphere. We split a muffin and had a chai latte and a lavender latte. Interesting menu, I'd return and get the waffles next time I'm in the area

    Loved the art here!

    Great coffee, good atmosphere, public restrooms, plenty room to study! Kind service, very inviting.

    Blutini tea latte
    Jennifer L.

    I already wrote an extensive review back when this location was Broom Wagon, but I figured it should be updated for the takeover by Second State (SS) Pros: the staff has remained just as kind & friendly, and SS kept the delicious waffles from Broom Wagon! Some of our favorites include the deviled egg waffle, the peanut butter & banana waffle, the prosciutto & greens waffle, and the lemon & blueberry waffle (Small) Con: some of my favorite lattes disappeared when SS took over because Broom Wagon made some of their own syrups. We loved the candied ginger and cardamom lattes in particular. Initially, SS kept the candied ginger and got rid of the cardamom. Then, they replaced the candied ginger with a ginger cookie that mostly tasted like cookie, not ginger. That ultimately disappeared too. On our most recent trip, they brought back a cardamom latte, but it was a very floral side of cardamom, not the spice notes of the old cardamom latte. Even though my favorite lattes no longer exist, I s enjoy stopping in for a waffle and a latte (they're still good without my favorite flavors) whenever I am in town, and SS does try to offer new items on rotation. For example, we recently tried the "Blutini" tea latte (iced only). My fiancé really enjoyed it, and while I would not necessarily get it again, it was fun for that day. As long as they keep the waffles, we will keep on returning, and we definitely recommend that you check this location out!

    Salted caramel oat milk latte and lox & cucumber waffle
    Kelsey O.

    Decided to try Second State's West Ashley location & complete some work. The shop was cute and the employees were so nice. I tried a salted caramel latte with oat milk and their lox and cucumber waffle. My latte was simply one of my favorite I've ever had. It was well balanced and delicious. The waffle I had on the other had was not my favorite. Each component individually was good, but for my liking having all together just simply did not work. Everything tasted fresh- cornbread like waffle, pickled cucumbers, lox, and a cream cheese drizzle. I believe I would try a different waffle next time for sure! My only complaint for a coffee shop was that there was only 1 or 2 outlets that were accessible for patrons to use. I will definitely be back!

    Stopped in while on work. Location is a little off the beaten path but the coffee was perfect! Try the salted Carmel mocha.

    Walk, dont run. Today (and tomorrow and Thursday). Bottleneck Coffee is closing this week…read more Thursday Dec 11, 2025 will be their last day on the greenway (or apparently anywhere). I picked up my coffee this morning and Gordon had a hand written sign saying good bye. I knew it was too good to be here forever. Someone as talented and dedicated to excellence as Gordon is would naturally need to roll once he had perfected his vision. Which he has. I will miss the perfect cup of coffee right outside my office. I am also happy for him to have the courage to make this move. Wherever it takes him, I know it will be grown with purity of intention.

    This is the best Vietnamese coffee I have had since I actually went to Vietnam. At this point, I…read morethink I'm addicted to it.... Seriously. I look forward to getting one (or two) every week. Lucky for me, the Bottleneck Coffee truck is at the CMD Greenway almost every day (except Mondays, and believe me, I think about it on Mondays). Sometimes I will bring a coffee to my husband, who works at the medical hospital as a nurse, as a midday pick me up. He loves this! He'd never been a fan of Vietnamese iced coffee, but he likes this version of the classic drink because it doesn't use condensed milk. Fun fact: there is also a vegan version! The icing on the cake of this food truck is that the owner is so nice, and consistently delivers great service and really, simply great coffee at a totally reasonable price.

    This place was a work in progress and they still cooked for me…read more The couple that own this place is super nice. I really wish them well. The place is coming along just nicely. Now for the food. I ordered chicken curry to go The entree was reasonably priced for Indian food and for what you get. It includes a cucumber salad, rice and 2 pieces of naan bread. The curry was not spicy but it was flavorful. Just the way I like it. The rice had onions in it which I thought was unusual but it was good. The cucumber salad which was good too. Drenched in something kinda like a tzatziki sauce. Now the portions were very small but it was lunch and it is Mt Pleasant. They have weird breakfast only hours during the week. Even though I came after 2pm. They still served and cooked for me. Really want them to succeed.

    I love Indian food, but by no means am I a connoisseur of the cuisine…read more That being said, I think this eatery offers authentic regional cuisine that's different than the fare you'd expect from your typical Indian restaurant. The menu is small and simple. Service is extremely friendly and engaging. The owner was walking around asking everyone how the food was and explaining things. The kitchen is an open concept so you can watch the chef do her thing. Prices are decent, and dare I say cheap, for a restaurant in the specific area they're in. Good addition to the food scene and hope they're here to stay.
