Cortado

Second State, Second Home. Quality coffee and great atmosphere. Barista complimented my sweater, so extra brownie points for that!

Sweet potato latte
Jordan B.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Charleston! Thankful for the peaceful ambiance and quality espresso. Baristas are always kind.

Top notch coffee in a new modern, chill setting. Second State has several franchises in Charleston and their beans are also used by several other coffee companies in the area. Safe to say they are one of the best coffee shops in Charleston. This new location is smaller than their others but very nice. Staff is excellent, kind and professional.

New location!

Blink and you'll miss it ... it's in the new Oyster Park development at Rifle Range and Ben Sawyer. New and bright, it's a perfect place to grab a quick cup of hot coffee or cold brew. As my visit was on the second day, it did not seem unusual that the bakery selections were few and limited to a few scones (and maybe something else that I do not recall) ... the grab and go was sparse ... and, there was neither any plant based sugar substitutes like Stevia, or sugar free syrup. I'd like to think that these items will fill in quickly. Cold brew comes in one size and I paid an up charge for almond milk ... oh, well. The shop opens in time for your morning commute and closes 3:00 PM (4:00 PM on Saturday.). Surprisingly, this location is closed on Sunday. In the heart of a growing apartment community (with an on site pool) it's a shame that residents have to drive down Coleman for their coffee or a cool drink. Wishing this new business much success ... welcome to the neighborhood!

Vanilla latte

Only went here cause I saw another Yelper post the latte art lol But had a vanilla latte and a brown sugar latte and both were so authentic and perfect tasting!! They only had whole milk (no skim) but that's prob why it tasted so good.

Ample room!

I finished receiving a blissful massage at the NOW massage studio next door and needed an afternoon pick-me-up where this coffee shop fulfilled that wish! The menu offers smoothies, espresso drinks, tea, wine + juice bottles for sale to-go, and offers some desserts too! There's plenty of seating indoors with some chairs outside too. The crew member was super friendly and made our drinks real quick. I got the cortado with whole milk and loved the espresso so much. My Dad got a regular coffee and tired a sip which had a good taste to it. I like the glass cup the cortado came in and the art looked like a heart which made me smile! There's also a spot where you can pour yourself some water so enjoyed a refreshing cup to balance out the energetic espresso bliss. I would recommend this coffee shop in a heartbeat! Also grateful they were open until 5PM vs 3PM, I love to support local coffee shops!

Iced matcha peach tea latte with oat milk
Krysten S.

Just came to this location for the first time. I already know that I love second state coffee, so I tried the barista's recommendation: iced matcha peach tea latte. Selected oat milk. SO lovely! Very friendly service as well - great barista. And I REALLY like the aesthetic of this place!

Checking out the newest second state location!

The coffee was just ok. The wasn't anything that blew me away. I will probably go elsewhere next time or try something different.

A first visit here proved to be worth it. The maple latte was beyond what I expected in flavor. A true sipping experience.

Great coffee, really like their espresso. Easy to swing in and out in the morning. Smaller working environment but good if you get a spot!

We celebrated a couple of birthdays at Mill Street Tavern and had such a wonderful experience from…read morestart to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the service throughout our lunch was attentive and welcoming. Everyone at our table loved their meals -- burgers, fries, and sandwiches all around with rave reviews. I ordered "The Bird," and it was absolutely delicious: perfectly cornmeal-breaded with a crispy fried crunch on the outside while staying incredibly moist and flavorful inside. Instead of cake, our group brought blueberry pies and vanilla ice cream, and the staff graciously took everything to the kitchen, sliced and plated the pie, added generous scoops of ice cream, and even placed birthday candles on each slice. Such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration extra special. The atmosphere along the water made it even better. Watching kayaks, paddle boards, and boats pass along Shem Creek while enjoying lunch was the perfect backdrop for a celebration. This has definitely become a new favorite spot for our group! Bringing my husband back for a date night soon!

Such a cute bookstore! Although there are so many amazing things to look at (a café with plenty of…read moreoptions, cute seating area, tree decor, bookish gifts, and of course the books themselves), what stood out to me most and would most likely stand out to all book lovers most was the gorgeous ladder connected to the bookcase, usable for all bookaholics. This store is so cute and relaxing to be in! There's a café/bar with a wide variety that isn't obnoxiously expensive and plenty of great books to choose from (and thankfully no Booktok section or ugly stickers covering gorgeous covers). There's a comfy seating area to read your book of choice and enjoy a delicious beverage. There's also plenty of unique and creative bookish gifts to get for your loved ones. Kind staff, clean place (including the bathrooms) and a great selection to choose from. 100% recommend!

They have inside and outside seating, which is nice for when it's a nice day! I've gone for one of their evening events of trivia and that was super fun!!! I've also gone just to hang with friends while we drink some coffee and yap and look at books. I love that they have a few different specials each month. Everyone that works there is so sweet! It's definitely one of my rotating places for coffee and a work day.
