I had run through this location a few days previously, but I was rushing & didn't have the time to relax. Not the case this time. The lovely young ladies behind the counter took good care of all the customers. I enjoyed listening to the banter with regulars. If i go to the conference in Newberry next year, I'll be sure to stop back in here!

Possibly one of the most unique coffee shops ever . This small coffee shop has a few fresh baked…read moregoods , ice cream , NY style bagels and is attached to an antique store . If you are in a hurry you can use the drive thru . Not in a hurry you can enjoy your coffee in the sitting area and play one of the few table top games or walk around the antique store . If you are undecided on what drink you want to get you can always ask one of the girls . They have never steered me wrong . Just 2 and 5 minutes streets off of I-26 it is definitely worth the stop

Not only were the owner and employees amazing people but every customer that came in was to . I ordered a chef salad , lemon bar , doughnut and a few coffees . The chef salad had crisp lettuce , fresh tomato wedges and cucumber slices , ham and turkey were rolled together nicely and the egg was perfect (not that rubbery stuff you get) . The lemon bad was out of this world , absolutely the best I have ever had , doughnut was that good thick cake doughnut (only made on Saturday's). I got an espresso drink (caramel macchiato) and a brewed coffee . The macchiato was pretty good . That brewed coffee was amazing , it was a mix of house blend and the tiger coffee . Anytime you go to a place that treats you like you matter , appreciates you as a customer(on your first visit) and has good food and drinks it is worth raving about . The Blend Cafe is definitely worth going out of your way 10-15 mins for . If you're in the Newberry area I would head over and give them a try .

I always try to make a point to try a new coffee shop when I am on vacation or a short little trip. This is definitely a place I would go back to. They also have local artisans jewelry, cutting boards, clothing and more for sale. So make sure you shop while you wait for your drinks.

They were all so sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure it was a high-quality experience. I noticed that they openly advertise that they don't accept tips and have slightly higher prices in order to pay their workers a living wage, and the results were directly reflected in the customer service that I received. As for the food and drink (coffee), that was pretty good as well! While I do wish that they might have had bagels, the croissant that I substituted it for was warm, buttery, and tasty, and it was a nice change from my usual coffee shop meal, as I've only had a croissant a handful of times. The coffee was fine, and I loved how they offered free refills, which I've noticed that other local coffee shops usually don't. Finally, I loved the setting of the restaurant, which gave you the opportunity to either sit inside and enjoy the ambiance or on the outside patio and enjoy some peace and quiet. I also loved the artwork that they had on the walls, which the waitress informed me was painted by a local artist and which you could purchase if you wanted to. All-in-all, I loved smallSUGAR, will be back in the future, and would highly recommend stopping in!

Also this location IS NOT a drive through even though it indicates that it is on Google maps and Yelp. It's such an irritating thing when a business, especially a coffee location, keeps the only menu available at the cash register. This means that the line backs up and everybody has to wait so that the the peeps at the front have to spend several minutes at the cash register to figure out what they want. That adds to the slowness of the baristas, which are pretty ho-hum about the whole endeavor. We each got lattes, I got the spicy honey-cinnamon and G got a regular. Nothing special about either, just middle of the road. In addition we asked for a "Pupa-chino", for our Puppy-Dog, which is usually a small cup of whipped cream that most coffee shops (and even McDonald's) give you for no charge. When we looked at the receipt they had charged us $1.50. Would have been nice to know they charge for it. It was huge, a full 12 ounce cup of which we ended up tossing out half of. Puppy-Dog certainly enjoyed what he got but it was just way too much greasy fatness for him. Finally, I'm not sure what the deal is, the people working there are as quiet as mice. I had to ask the girl to speak up at the check out because we couldn't hear anything she was saying. The person who called people's orders out was also really mousy quiet and so orders were piling up. We just got the vibe of incompetence and mediocrity. Likely wouldn't come back.
