Very friendly coffee shop and fresh baked pastries. You can also purchase books there. We do like this little coffee shop when in Chapin.

The coffee is amazing and such a cozy vibe! but the last time I went it was a very slow quiet day, nobody other then 2 people sitting down me, my friend, and grandma. My friend got whipped cream on her drink but they didn't put it on the first time so she went up and asked for it just for these 2 girls to sigh and say "yeah whipped cream seriously" and were being very disrespectfu, acting annoyed for such a simple task, which their task being their job. read more

A cute little coffee show with some books! What more could you want? I did want more books but that's just because I read a lot and needed more options. I love that the drinks are after characters in movies and books. read more

Delicious drinks and baked goods, interesting books and art for sale, and fun boardgames!

10 min to get my coffee and they only poured the coffee in the cup I finished making it with my cream and sugar. Then another ten minutes for them to refund me for over charging for 2coffees when I got only one. And did not even put my refund in my hand just dropped it on the counter. Horrible read more

I got the Eeyore, a French vanilla and lavender latte. I wish it was more heavy on the lavender. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. 5 stars because they had a voter registration station! And they have books and Harry Potter signs. They get really into the Halloween decorations. It would be a good place to study! read more

we randomly happened upon this place while driving. Found it on yelp actually. What a cute place. First of all, it has a small parking lot which it shares with other places but there is plenty of place to park. It's not crowded. They have tons of books and it is a coffee shop and I believe they have some food as well. I don't remember what foods they had. Delicious drinks, variety of flavors and combinations. I highly recommend coming here. It may be a little bit out of your way but it's definitely worth the drive. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks there and the prices are reasonable. They also have a restroom in the back. You can read, eat, drink or study if you want to. it has a nice quiet to low rumble which is nice. It's a great place for groups as well or to me the first date even. Unique selection of books there. Very clean. Highly recommended. read more

A unique blend of a bookstore and a great coffee shop. Don't sleep on the "frozen" versions of the drinks - more like a milkshake, but 10/10 read more

The Coffee Shelf - a hand holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chapin, South Carolina

I'm not from the area and had no idea where to get a good iced matcha. I saw the coffee shelf while driving by and stopped in. I started talking about matcha flavor add ins with the guy working the register and ended up telling him to surprise me with any flavor. He made me a salted caramel matcha with strawberry cold foam and it was the best iced matcha I've ever had!!! read more

Chapin is a neat town and they have a couple of charming coffee spots to choose from. This looked good and was open Sunday, so I hit this one up and wasn't disappointed! I had the Peppermint Mocha and my wife had a regular mocha. Both were excellent! Just the right sweetness without being overly sweet! I also picked up and blueberry and apple turnover. Awesome! It's also a small bookstore with a decent selection for its size. Very nice friendly staff too! Excellent choice! read more

Cool concept that just misses the mark for us. We've tried several times and not been happy with any of the drinks. Much better local coffee options read more

I can't personally speak for the coffee as I'm not a coffee drinker. However, my wife really enjoys the coffee and they have a wide selection of themed drinks that she also likes to choose from. I do like their variety of pastries and their hot chocolate is really good as well. I also like browsing through the book selections they have there. The atmosphere is really nice and is a great place overall to visit. read more

I visited for the first time and loved the atmosphere and what I ordered -- the Charlie Brown and a chocolate chip cream cheese danish. I traveled from KY to Myrtle Beach this week and was challenging myself to find local coffee shops, and I was really happy with this find! I'm bookmarking it so I can come back in the future...and maybe bring some books to exchange! read more

Very good coffee colorful drink names. Very quick service. When they get busy it can get a little out of order with the drinks but otherwise no problems so far. Hot coffee is not too hot and can be consumed immediately read more

Great atmosphere! Reminds me of the awesome coffee houses in the Pacific Northwest. Great coffee, witty drink names, wide selection of books, and friendly baristas. Fair prices, too! Love this place! read more

Here for the weekend for a wedding and we found this cute local coffee shop! All the baristas were incredibly nice & patient as we looked through the menu. For COVID times, they require masks & social distancing when you wait in line which was a plus. I got the cold brew with almond & coconut milk as well as cinnamon flavor - absolutely delicious. My sister got the White Witch of Narnia which tasted like ice cream! My sister's boyfriend got Yertle the Turtle which he loved. We are even going back for a second day in the row while we are still in South Carolina! Definitely would recommend. read more

This cute coffee shop is amazing! Jerry, the owner, is super friendly and can make all sorts of specialized coffees. They have pastries that are mouth-watering. I love the book displays, and it's a wonderful place to work or chat with friends. They use real coffee mugs for those who are drinking it in the shop. Tastefully decorated, and he has book signings and other events worth catching. One of the only places around where you can bring your laptop and do some work "away from home" in a welcoming environment. A real treat! read more

Absolutely the best. Reminiscent of coffee houses I've experienced in college. An atmosphere of warmth; one of family and happiness. A place to go to chat, read a book, or look at a local artists work. It's refreshing to have such a memory flood back every time I step through the doors. Thank you. read more

Drinks good. Staff young. Definitely a high school hang out spot. Not many food options , like maybe a muffin.

Good coffee and their Barista Stephanie is always so positive and charming that I almost don't need any coffee to get through my day.

This is a cute little coffee shop with a small bookstore. Note: this place carries my all time favorite book "the book thief" and the next on my list to read so I may be a bit more excited than necessary. However, it's bright and quiet. It is very clean and there are a few options of comfy chairs. There are regular chairs, sofas, and comfy "bucket type" seating. The whole staff was very kind and it was quick as well. I watched the owner walk around the corner and offer to help a woman get her stroller in the door. The menu has a fair amount of good choices. I got the white mocha, hot, which was wonderful. They've got some great events including a poetry night and they are having a midnight release of Harry Potter, which makes them pretty awesome in my book. read more

Love this little coffee shop! I get just a regular cup of coffee when I go (which is great), but my son gets those fancy cold coffee sweet drinks. He loves it!
