    Super cute coffee place. I met a friend here for breakfast I had no idea they had breakfast sandwiches, and homemade pastires, muffins, pop tarts cake pops etc. I also tried their new coffee called the Chagaccino and it was delicious! Not sure it had enough caffeine to what I'm used to but it was yummy! We will definitely come back to try other things. They also seek their coffee by the beans or "k-kups and have a bunch of drip coffees different flavor to try!

    Cute coffee shop! Decided to try something new & glad I did! It was busy for 9am on a Saturday but line moved quickly. They have a great selection of drinks & pastries. I went with an Americano and GF banana bread. Both were good! They do have a couple other GF pastry options for those who need a GF snack! Service was friendly & price is great! Ample parking & some outside seating.

    I feel super lucky to have Charleston Coffee Exchange in my backyard! The staff are always super welcoming and friendly. I love coming here to buy fresh roasted whole beans for my espresso machine at home and the staff are always so knowledgeable with recommendations for what beans to use. Their lattes and coffee selection are also fairly priced. The pastry selection varies but have yet to buy a pastry I didn't enjoy. They also have tons of table and chairs to come work or hang with your friends. Such a nice cozy spot overall!

    Just picked up my hot mocha

    Always a pleasure coming here. Friendly, fast and the best I was craving my hot mocha and a croissant with egg and cheese. Both came out perfectly. My doggie got a pup cup and had the hookup (thank you!). She was so happy with her pup cup and finished it quicker than she would from any other coffee shop. I'll be back again and again and again

    Lemon blueberry scone

    Super cute coffee shop with plenty of seating indoor and out! The staff was really friendly. Lots of coffee choices - iced, hot, or frozen. Tea, lemonade, smoothies, pastries, and some breakfast sandwiches. we absolutely loved the lemon blueberry scone, and the honey latte

    My regular. Staff is awesome and friendly, and I love their seasonals. The coffee is genuine in flavor and taste, everything enjoyable from their selection of brews, chais, and signature honey latte. They have pastries as well as breakfast sandwiches they make until noon. Seating and outlets are limited and a little busy on the weekends. The whole place is decorated end-to-end with their big variety of different grinds including their "perfect pot" grinds you can buy for a single brew at home to test if it's your thing.

    The coffee cake was amazing and reasonably priced. The lemonade was also great but a little too sweet. The people taking the order were very nice and served us promptly. I feel like this location could be more cozy and inviting but I will gladly go back!

    I finally found my oasis on Ashly River Road! CCE serves up great coffee and baked snacks in a comfy setting. I stopped in around 4, so the place wasn't busy, and I thought it'd be a nice spot to hang out with my cappuccino. CCE's got a ton of coffee choices, lots of packaged coffee to buy, and a great vibe. Give it a try.

    This is one of my favorite local coffee places. The staff is great, the coffee is delicious, the space is cozy and relaxing. I know this review is short in comparison to a lot, but you should really just come try it for yourself. Trust me me. You'll like it.

    Iced caramel macchiato
    Lauren M.

    Charleston Coffee Exchange was great! I went there on a Sunday around 11 a.m. it was crowded and there was a line, but it was worth it! The line moved pretty quickly. I ordered a medium iced caramel macchiato and it was delicious!!! I wish I had gotten a large. I also got a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. I paid cash and received a cash discount, which was cool! There was plenty of seating, and loved the decor. I received my drink and food pretty quickly given the amount of people in there. The staff was very friendly! I will definitely be visiting again : )

    The pastries are Outstanding! Nothing better this side of New Orleans. Coffee was a great compliment to the food, too.

    If I could give a higher rating, I would. I can't express…read morehow outstanding this place is. Someone local recommended this to me. And boy, am I glad I decided to stop by. It was so good I had to go back! The Brunch bowl is what I order both times ( I wish I tried something else) and the "grit balls" were delicious. Service was fast and prompt even with a full house. And the woman at the counter (she was in the kitchen and ran food, greeted guests as they pick up their food, possibly a chef) was EXTREMELY nice and outgoing. She seemed to really enjoy her position and kept order in the kitchen. Food was delicious if I haven't already said so, so much flavor, a Carolina quality kinda spot! I highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional, yet casual place to dine. Thank you Grit Counter!

    The Grit Counter is a fun, bustling spot we decided to try for the first time today around 1…read moreo'clock on a weekday. The parking lot was packed, and most tables were already taken when we walked in, which is always a good sign. You order at the counter and then grab a seat while they bring the food out to you. The menu is extensive, with plenty of dishes built around grits (as the name suggests). I went with the chicken and waffles, and it was loaded with flavor--crispy fried chicken breasts, a Belgian waffle, chunks of bacon, and a blueberry compote on the side. The whole plate was enormous; I definitely didn't finish it. My husband ordered the fried chicken and fish platter with French fries, and it was equally generous in size. We also started with the grit fritters as an appetizer, and they were fantastic--crispy on the outside and a nice surprise inside. Overall, the food was really on point with big, satisfying portions. The waitstaff seemed super busy but stayed friendly and attentive. The only downside for me was having to bus your own table at the end. Prices for lunch felt a little high at first glance, but when you consider the huge portions, they're pretty reasonable. We'll definitely be heading back soon.
