Cute little drive thru to grab and go! The breakfast sandwich was out of this world. The tomato basil spread- incredible. The staff were friendly and the wait time was short. read more

Southern Brews Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

I love to support a local coffee shop when out of town, so it was nice that Southern Brews was conveniently on the way to Angel Oak and a drive-thru. The line was considerably long and took some time to get through, so I wouldn't necessarily call it a quick stop. Friendly folks working there. I ordered their white chocolate angel oak latte. It was pretty good, just very very sweet. Price was reasonable. read more

I am a big fan of Southern Brews drive through! Their Rocky Road coffee and hot chocolate are treats for a self proclaimed chocoholic like myself, and it's awesome that they have pup cups for our Golden. Trish is always very pleasant --it's always great to have a favorite barista who makes my experience even better. The s'mores coffee is another seasonal favorite! Highly recommend. read more

Wack all over the food is frozen and microwaved they charge real food prices when all they sell is extremely processed foods drinks are 2/10

Found this local hidden gem near my current boyfriend's house. Was not expecting my world To be changed. I have tried every chai in Charleston and am consistently underwhelmed. How ever this chai has changed my world. Current boyfriend is happy too cause I come everyday just to get some of this liquid goodness. Wowza keep it up! read more

Excellent food and coffee (particularly the Whie Angel Oaka), as well as exceptional service and staff. My husband and I have been coming here since 2021, and we have yet to miss a weekend. The baristas are really accommodating and kind (not only to us, but to our 2 amazing dogs), and they are now like members of our family. Trust me! You will never be disappointed, for sure! read more

The four of us decided we wanted an energy boost before heading to the Tea Plantation (we understand that tea has caffeine but we were IN need of some heavy lifting--bring on the espresso). What an epic find. Though it was a hard find since the Yelp directions took us about two miles away from the actual location but we made it! Use Waze or Google--not Yelp directions. We got a strawberry smoothie, pina colada smoothie and two dirty iced chai lattes. HOLY CHAI! We both agreed that whatever their secret ingredients is, is on-point. The best dirty chai lattes we have EVER had. The smoothies were also AMAZING. We joked about them adding alcohol because, d***, they'd be richer. SO FREAKING GOOD. read more

We ordered the Rocky Road with oat milk, large size. When we picked it up through the drive-through, it seriously looked like a regular mocha drink. There was nothing on the top of the drink or anything whatsoever and it was semi warm now I understand that part as a just barely made the coffee so I'm not complaining about the temperature but more or less the presentation especially when I'm paying over eight dollars for the drink. Staff was friendly and the drink did taste good but it did not feel like I was drinking Rocky Road more or less like a chocolate milk. Should have just stuck with the original idea of a mocha drink seriously the large size almost seemed like I was having a medium drink also. read more

Southern Brews Coffee - Apparently, the rocky Road drink, but look more like a mocha, with a higher price tag I was not too impressed - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

Man, I just struggle to understand sometimes. I have been in the boat where only you and one other person showed up to work that day and literally every single person in town wants whatever it is you're selling, but I can promise that I served every single person with a smile and a "have a nice day" despite the fact that I was dying on the inside. Southern hospitality used to be a thing and it's quickly dying and that's what makes me die on the inside now. Anyway, my coffee was good after waiting an hour for 2 drinks (and I pulled up right to the menu when I started.) and I liked the specialty options. I also liked that if there was a kid or a non coffee drinker in your crew that you could get a smoothie instead. read more

Great local place for coffee, specialty drinks, and breakfast sandwiches. I stop here pretty regularly and have always enjoyed their coffee and especially their croissant sandwiches. It's mainly a drive thru place, and they live can get long at rush hour mornings, but they move quicker than you might expect. Only drawback is they might be just a little pricey. read more

We stopped by on our recent trip to John's Island, and it was wonderful. I tried the White Angel Oaka and the Rocky Road. They were both delicious and we grabbed another coffee on our way out of town. Wish I could go back. read more

I love a good drive-through since becoming a parent. Their english muffin breakfast sandwiches are THE BEST, really, I don't think I've ever had such a tasty english muffin! I will be here at least twice a week. read more

Friendly and welcoming staff. I was quickly served my two brewed coffees. Things were looking hopeful! Sadly, my husband and I agree that the coffee tastes a lot like gas station joe. Bummer! read more

Five stars typically takes a committee meeting with my upstairs counsel, this five-star requires no such meeting. Hoping for indoor seating because it's just so darn cute from the outside, I pressed my cupped hands upon every window to peer in from all angles, all for not. To get services, you don't need a car, as the drive thru seconds as a walk up as well. There is no inside seating, perhaps there once was but there are three outdoor tables to sit at, all pup friendly and fresh water will be supplied for at no cost. I must admit I was a bit bummed to learn that the Breakfast Croissant was not an option due to the croissants not being available, I had my heart set on it, but I roll with the punches quite well with food matters. Quickly I switched to the BMT - Basil, Mozzarella & Tomato sandwich. Served on Buckwheat bread, with pesto and a tangy vinaigrette, it really got my taste buds attention. The pesto flavor was immediate with its flavorful leaves playing with the pine nutty oils, creating a symphony of flavors. Not any one item that comprised the sandwich was skimped on -- the tomato was perfectly ripe, fleshy and runny enough to blend with the mozzarella but did Not compromise the bread into a mush pasty mess, that Buckwheat bread is a sturdy little bread I tell ya. Sipping lightly upon my "classic macchiato" I reflected so fondly upon Southern Brews. How wonderfully my order was not only taken, but there was exchange as was with my gluten free dining partner who had ten thousand questions. I'm rather sure the owner was whom I was ordering with, I think she wanted to do a little something special for not having the crossing, a passing insignificant matter to me by now. My sandwich was a thing of beauty, I could feel the love in the creation. This is a special place. read more

I have always had a great experience here! Drive through coffee shops (that aren't Starbucks) are hard to find around here, so I love the convenience. The drinks ran on the sweet side, which enjoy. Service has always been friendly and prices are fair. read more

Such a great place on John's Island but you need to plan ahead and make sure you have at least 30 extra mins to get your coffee. This is a busy place and it takes a long time to get your order! I would avoid if you're in a rush. 4-stars because I really do like the coffee but the wait can be painful. read more

Great little coffee shop on the island. Nice location. Friendly drive thru girl, who was very nice and helpful. Really good bagel breakfast sandwich and the coffee was also as good. If I lived here , I would be here every morning. read more

Love that they have a drive thru! Pretty good latte and very quick service! Will be back next time I am in the area

I love this local coffee spot in a John'sIsland. They have a drive through with hot and cold drinks and sandwiches and pastries. I am partial to their dirty chai and iced coffee drinks. Support local. Yum! read more

Southern Brews Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

Stopped here on the way to Angel Oak Tree this morning. I wanted to try a local coffee spot and this was easily accessible from the main road. The drive thru feature was nice too! We ordered iced coffees. It was a bit of a wait, as you order and get your food all at the same window in the drive thru, so if there are cars ahead of you it can take time. The staff was nice, though was speaking poorly about a customer that had just left while we were at the window. Not very professional. The coffee is good and the prices are affordable. Great experience aside from the talking about customers. read more

Drive thru experience was totally quick and hassle free. Food was made upon order which made it really good. Ordered the White Angel Oaka and it was divine! I love the rich chocolatey taste. Parking: There's a lot of available space. We parked for a while to eat our sandwiches. Staff: He was accommodating and friendly. read more

Great customer service, but the specialty drinks are pretty sugary. I would suggest ordering a regular coffee and adding in a syrup instead. Love the drive through option here and will definitely be back at some point. read more

Had a great experience at Southern Brews Coffee this morning! It was so fast, so convenient, and so cheap. Staff was very genuine and friendly. The woman who took my order noticed my dog and offered him a treat, and the guy who gave me my food at the second window offered me some chocolate covered espresso beans while I waited. Food was solid and exactly what I was wanting--just a good breakfast sandwich. I also got a cappuccino, which was strong, but good. Overall great experience. If you're on John's Island and looking for breakfast or coffee on the go, go here!! read more

Great local coffee shop. Good sandwiches and coffee. If you want hot fresh food you may have to wait if the lines are long. Big plus is the cafe is fully drive through so you can sit in your A/C car and wait. read more

We woke up to no coffee this morning. My husband made an emergency run to southern brews for coffee. He got me a dirty chai, I believe he got a macchiato and a croissant sandwich for himself. Everything was delicious. I'm so happy we have a place close by that has great coffee that we can just pick up and go. read more

Long lines but great breakfast sammy if youre willing to wait a little while n ur not in a rush

Love the sweet coffees they serve. Happy it's a drive thru and the people working there are always nice. It's a fun little experience in my afternoon. read more

First time coming here and I'll definitely be coming back! I parked and started to walk up before the lady in the window said it was drive-thru only. That was kind of a shocker but I'm okay with it. I ordered the Caramel Nut latte hot and the ABC sandwich - Apple, Bacon, Cheddar. First he handed me the coffee and it had a little chocolate covered something on top of the lid. I thought that was a neat touch. He told me to please pull forward so he could serve the people behind me - more places should do this more often. The sandwich was unlike any other sandwich I've had before. It has gooey cheddar, thick sliced bacon, and thinly sliced pieces of green apple on the sandwich. It's definitely a different kind of sandwich you can't get everywhere. I really enjoyed both the coffee and the sandwich and will probably be back at this little drive-thru coffee place often. read more

Great bagel sandwiches are a rarity around Charleston so thank goodness for Southern Brews. It's convenient, the coffee is good, they make tasty smoothies, and the people are friendly! Just avoid their awful scones. read more

Saw this place while out on a Sunday morning drive. Drive through was packed so I parked instead and went to the walk up window. I waited about 15 minutes for my drink, which was okay. The one star rating is for what I observed while standing at the window and watching the employees working. I observed one employee making two iced drinks (she knew I was watching) and after preparing the drinks she started adding ice to them and the ice was over the top on one of them at which time she proceeded to take her index finger and stick it in the drink to push the ice cubes down. She was not wearing gloves nor did I observe her do any kind of hand sanitation prior to handling these drinks. If an employee is comfortable doing this in front of a customer watching I hate to think what they are doing when they think they are completely unobserved. read more

I came here thinking it would be a quick stop, unfortunately I was wrong. When I arrived there were 5 cars in front of me, no big deal it should move fast. The line did not move. I waited over 30min in line to get a coffee. The coffee and cinnamon roll were delicious and the girls working were very nice. It would be helpful if there was an intercom and menu prior to going up to the window. read more

Amazing service!! I would go broke if there was one of these in Florida. I got the hot, salted caramel coffee with an extra shot of expresso. They even gave extra chocolate/coffee beans on top! The apple sandwich was very original, hot, filling, and very tasty!! The cinnamon roll was bigger than my hand! I loved this place. read more

Always have a positive experience here! This is largely due to the staff. They are always so friendly and happy! The coffee here is really good too.

For being a local coffee shop the team is alway super friendly and they get to know the regulars and provide a personalized experience

Southern Brews Coffee on Maybank Highway is one of my favorite places to get coffee and something to quick to eat. I really like the drive through option available as well as walking in. They are very efficient and work hard to make sure that you have everything you order quickly so you can be back on your way. I have been happy with my order every time I have been here. read more

My husband's cappuccino was weak, even with 3 shots. It's unfortunate bc our home espresso machine is on the fritz, so he was hoping that, Southern Brews being close by, would be a good source until the new machine arrives. read more
