The coffee shop vibe is something I fell in love with while in College. Those early morning hang out sessions, late night study sessions, and weekend explorations were fueled a lot by the coffee shop vibe. The best ones are where you walk in and feel like you’ve got a little piece of home. It’s welcoming, delicious, and inspiring. While I don’t drink a ton of coffee I LOVE supporting local and getting a nice drink here and there (chai tea lattes are my jam!).
This list is by far NOT a comprehensive list.
These are just some of my favorites or ones that have been on my list to try because I’ve heard how amazing they are. Let me know if you’ve been to any or plan to visit Charleston any time soon!
