Food is ample and tasty! Coffee is spot on and just how we like it! Service is quick and polite, the ladies were very helpful in suggesting options as it was our first time here. Coffee is local from a roaster in Spartanburg, SC. The vibe here is between a diner and a hipster coffee house. I'm digging it! They even have a side room with couches and board games. I wish they had a coffee place like this in our hometown just up the road in Grover! Oh well I guess we will make the drive down more often. Thanks Zakary! read more

Another great visit to Zakary's, and I absolutely LOVE the new location. They are now conveniently located near the hospital and have ample parking. The new space also offers plenty of seating and room for coffee meetings, studying, or hightop seats at the bar. They are now offering freshly made pastries that may rotate daily. I ordered my drink to go and was treated kindly and served quickly. Congrats to Zak and his team! read more

Zakary’s - Smash burger w/ roasted potatoes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gaffney, South Carolina

Great place with a wonderful staff and great selection of coffees and other drinks. Gaffney needed a place like this badly

Cute place with great coffee. I always like to try small coffee houses instead of chains. Definitely recommend !

I highly recommend the lavander itallian soda. Great alternative to starbucks. Ive had better results ordering in person but also get fairly consistent orders through door dash though their door dash options could use an update. Very cute place to stop in. Generally pretty quiet with some activities for the community occasionally. read more

My latte is amazing. I didn't know what to get but the owner suggested a sugar-free peanut butter with a little bit of salt on top of it because I'm keto. The latte is very smooth not too sweet but just perfect. Customer service is awesome. read more

Zakary’s - a hand holding a coffee cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gaffney, South Carolina

I absolutely love coffee so one thing I try to do is find local coffee joints in any town I visit. When my wife and I came in to visit her family in Gaffney this summer, I took a walk downtown and was happy to find Zakary's. The owner is an absolute force of nature, being extremely personable, chatting up newbies like myself, and regulars while whipping up drinks for everyone. He was a super friendly guy and he pulls a mean shot of espresso. I got a cortado and an iced americano. He gets his beans from a local coffee roaster and they were fantastic. I don't drink much in the way of flavored coffee drinks, but their offerings sounded delicious if you have a sweet tooth. When we are next in town to visit my wife's family, we will definitely making a return visit. read more

Friendly staff, welcoming environment, and good coffee! A nice little place to stop and relax.

Good coffee and a great supportive of the community. The iced mocha is wonderful and the roar size is huge. Highly recommend it for a local hang out spot with good vibes and company . read more

Zak and his crew are the most amazing people. They are quick to offer suggestions, help out if you're unsure of what you want, and always help the community when given the opportunity. read more

Best coffee and extremely friendly staff!! Tell them what you're in the mood for and they will come up with a coffee that won't disappoint!! Enjoy!! read more

Stopped in for an iced latte and asked if there's another specialty they make that I should have instead. Without missing a beat the guy behind the bar helping the cashier told me that I had to have a white turtle - and that he could make it less sweet if I wanted. Huge smile and clearly loves his job. Later leaned it was Zak himself. This place is awesome and has a real community feel. Definitely go and support a fantastic local business! read more

Zakary’s - White turtle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gaffney, South Carolina

Outstanding customer service. Zakary's owner goes above and beyond the call of owner. He remembers people, their stories, faces, life events, and of course their drink order. Notices when a new customer comes in and goes out of his way to make them comfortable. They have a wide variety of drinks, all excellent! If you can dream it up, they can make it. Even if they've never made it before, they'll attempt. Comfortable seating, socially spaced with a way to indicate if tables are clean or waiting to be cleaned. The new location is gorgeous with potential space for a larger group gathering in the future? Definitely a place to check out. Well done Zakary's and team! read more

This is the BEST coffee and comes with even better service! Really try starting your morning off with a cup of cheer from Zakary's! He has such a bubbly personality and can turn any bad day around. The coffees are excellent--pumpkin cheesecake and some other flavors he made! I haven't had a bad experience yet! read more

Wish I had this coffee shop near me - I'd be in everyday! Fresh coffee, creative choices, awesome staff.

Awesome coffee with affordable prices cheaper then Starbucks. Great customer with very welcoming owner.

Such sweet safe and a great place to read and drink a great cup of coffee! Can't wait to go back!

Since my husband has started roasting his own coffee, finding a coffee shop that he approves of is like shopping for prom dresses. When we walked in, the owner knew we had never been there before. He greeted us with the warmest welcome, explained their menu, and even explained the beans he uses for his espresso shots. It's not common for roasters to create a blend for espresso shots-so talk about impressed. We didn't stay in, but there was a spacious area for you to kick back and get some work done while staying caffeinated. While we were there a "regular" came in and was not only greeted with a hello, but also "the usual?" I can't even remember where I put my car keys but he can remember multiple coffee orders. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is such a cute coffee shop! The service is great! The owner is such an awesome guy! So nice and fun! I will be going back!

I go to Zakarys every day before work and leave with the best cup of coffee every time. Hands down the best coffee shop in the upstate. Very friendly staff that treats you like family every single time you step through the door. The vibes are amazing. You'll leave happy every time read more

The friendliest business with amazing coffee. I got an iced vanilla latte and got my mother an americano and we both loved what we got. I hope this business continues to grow because they were so friendly and sweet! read more

Best coffee hands down! Never disappoints! The white turtle is by far my favorite iced coffee.

Zakary's was catered at my apartment complex for breakfast and the coffee and croissants were SO GOOD, even when catered! Hated to find out that it was located about an hour away from my apartment , but highly recommend going if you're in Gaffney :) read more

Tired of Starbucks ? This place is better if you ask me. Great staff and delicious drinks.

We stumbled in here on a road trip. I got the best matcha I have ever had. It is a very cute store, and their staff is so helpful and friendly. read more

Absolutely wonderful coffee drink! Good prices, neat ambiance, parking close by and very comfortable seating. Zak is the happiest, most hard working guy ever! I loved the "kindness board". This is such an asset to downtown Gaffney. read more

This little place is awesome! I love being back home and finding little places like this! Will be back soon (or at lease when I'm back in from Nashville)! read more

Friend told us of this place and it's amazing! Cutest little shop in downtown Gaffney! The owner is amazing and made my sugar free iced mocha perfect! Knew my order when I came in just the second time! Definitely going to stop each time I visit Gaffney. Prices are amazing for the sizes of the coffee!! read more

This place is a great little local spot. I am not a big coffee drinker, but I stop here often because of the friendly staff, inviting atmosphere, and kind, conscientious people who frequent this establishment. Zak makes the best Chi Lattes and has Almond Milk available for all those non-dairy people out there like me. Zak, the owner, is a graduate of Limestone and since moving to Gaffney to attend Limestone, he has become an amazing entrepreneur, advocate, and volunteer in our community. He makes it his goal to make sure everyone in his shop feels welcomed and included. He has a 'Kindness Board' located at the front entrance where you may donate a 'Cup of Kindness' or take a 'Cup of Kindness', depending on your abundance or need. This ensures no one in our community feels unwelcome in his shop. The 'Kindness Board' allows anyone to take a cup who is struggling financially, maybe walked out and forgot their wallet, or perhaps just needs a pick-me-up on a bad day. Some may think this would be abused - absolutely not! Zakary's doesn't have to worry about that because they have set the standard of what it is like to genuinely care for others. For as many cups of kindness are taken, at least double are donated in their place. This is worth the trip to Zakary's alone! read more

I've gone to this coffee shop since I started college. He always gets my order right and is so kind.

Great local coffee shop that also specializes in Italian sodas. The young owner is pleasant, outgoing and also makes great coffee. The quaint coffee shop start up shares space with other businesses, in an old building in the historic section of downtown Gaffney. I always prefer to patronize a local business over a national chain, and this place makes terrific coffee. To me, the coffee tastes a little better when you are supporting a local business and drinking it while strolling down the sidewalk of historic Gaffney instead of a shopping center. Give local a try. read more

The owner is one of the nicest, most relatable, fun and customer centric owners that I have ever met. Great products. I can see him and this place going places. If you're looking for the place to go in Gaffney, this is definitely the place to give a try. You won't be disappointed. read more
