    Medium Latte
    Nishant N.

    I wanted morning coffee, so I searched for local coffee shops in Charleston and found Charleston Coffee Exchange. I went there. The coffee shop had a beautiful and welcoming ambiance. I discussed fan favorite coffee options with the server and ordered a medium latte. My to-go order was ready in 10 minutes. The coffee was well made, tasted amazing, and the perfect way to start my morning. The beans were freshly roasted, which added to the flavor.

    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.

    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

    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!

    Lemon blueberry scone
    Madi L.

    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.

    Loved coming into this coffee shop during the holidays. Staff were very polite and the coffee was amazing! Would recommend to anyone! They also had really cool gift ideas for anyone on your list! Thank you for a positive experience!!

    5/5 Stars - Absolutely Incredible!…read more This spot is a total gem. We ordered a vanilla cinnamon iced latte, a cappuccino, a smoothie, a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a strawberry pop-tart, and every single item was outstanding- gluten free options too!!! The breakfast sandwich was perfect--flavorful, fresh, and served on a perfectly toasted everything bagel. The strawberry pop-tart was unreal, an elevated treat, and the drinks hit the spot. The iced latte had just the right balance of vanilla and cinnamon without being overly sweet, the cappuccino was expertly crafted, and the smoothie was incredibly refreshing. Beyond the food, the vibe here is immaculate. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the background music is great, and the workers are exceptionally friendly. It's the perfect place to kickstart your morning. We will definitely be back!

Driving in from Kiawah, I…read morestarted the hunt for a good lunch spot on the way and Yelp brought us right to Island Provisions. It is much more casual than I thought, with some of the menu (like bowls and salads) already made and ready to grab from the fridge. So happy we ended up staying because everything was fantastic. We ordered at the counter, grabbed drinks from the fridge and found a table on the side, covered patio. Food was brought out super quickly and it was absolutely delicious. I got the St. Philip pita, which was incredible and almost tasted like a halal cart chicken sandwich in the best way. It was so filling and so good. It came with a really tasty side salad. My fiance got the BLT which was just as great. I can see this being a really ideal space to bring my laptop and get some work done if I lived in the area. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a great, casual space for breakfast, lunch or coffees.

We came for breakfast and started with the banana bread with Nutella cream cheese -- absolutely incredible. We also split the cornmeal pancakes, which were so good we came back the next morning just to have them again. I ordered the B.E.C. with the home fries, and I can honestly say they may have been the best potatoes I've ever had in any form. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and they practically melted in my mouth. My husband had the turkey club and said it was fantastic as well. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and memorable. We loved it so much we went back the very next day. 10/10 -- highly recommend if you're visiting Charleston!

    Very cute spot, bright, clean and lots of space to not feel crowded…read more Server was great, was on top of it but didn't rush us. He also had a meal removed from the bill - it was brought out Luke warm unfortunately. Overall food was good everyone was happy with their choices. Burger didn't come with fries but was big enough to fill up an 18 year old boy. Salad had a great sauce, was a little thrown off with the cold waffle but it's supposed to come like that server said. The avocado toast was so good but eggs were cold unfortunately. It didn't ruin the taste so still recommend. Visited on vacation but I would go back and try other plates.

Our waiter was super busy & at times hard to flag down. He did a nice job of refills for the kids, but when the food came out, we literally had zero napkins and zero utensils. That is basic stuff- I shouldn't have to flag down people for when getting seated. I ended up finding another waiter who was helping to bring out our food and asking him for napkins and cutlery. The beignets here are not what you expect- think super mini ones versus the classic ones you get from Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans or other joints. We would have placed two orders of them except I knew the brunch plates would be big, and we wanted our kiddos to eat their meal before filling up on sweets. I got the Meeting plate- double portion of crab cakes on top of fried green tomatoes with grits and a huge buttermilk biscuit, where I didn't finish the biscuit and had one of our kids eat half of it. I was craving some fried green tomatoes but also wanted seafood so that worked out! My partner got the fried green tomatoes BLT and loved it. One of our kids got the chicken and waffles, another ate all of the fried chicken tenderloins, and our third really wanted buttermilk pancakes that were a hefty plate. No shortage of being hungry at this place! The food was good, but I would not say it was anything too different than any other brunch place-but for, the fried green tomatoes & other southern offerings like grits that you wouldn't get in other parts of the country. There are only two wash rooms, so there can be a wait especially when you have a long line of ladies waiting FYI. Prices are not too bad and standard for brunch so still an alternative when you are looking for fuel to fill up before doing your shopping on King's Street.

My husband found this spot last minute since it was just a short walk from our hotel. We arrived pretty close to the kitchen closing, and while they mentioned we could still order at the bar, our server, Miseal, graciously offered to seat us at a table and take care of us anyway. That level of hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. We kept it simple and shared the Octopus Salad and the Taleggio Pizza, and wow...every single bite was packed with flavor. The pizza, cooked in the wood-fired brick oven, had the perfect crispy yet chewy crust with rich, melty cheese. The octopus was tender, fresh, and beautifully balanced. It was honestly the best meal we had all weekend. I paired everything with a refreshing brut rose while my husband enjoyed a beer, and it couldn't have been a better way to end our Charleston trip. The atmosphere is stylish and lounge-like with a romantic feel...perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening after exploring the city. A huge thank you to Miseal for making us feel so welcome, even at the end of the night. Great food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience. This will absolutely be one of our first stops the next time we're in Charleston.

It was unique with the different flavors and textures on top that came together really nicely. Almond frangipane scone- I'm not the biggest fan of dried fruit in baked goods, but otherwise thought this was tasty and would want to get a scone/biscuit without dried fruit next time. Would recommend. Cinnamon twist- Tasty! Not mind blowing, but we enjoyed and would get again. Best friend/chocolate chip cookie- Loved that it was crispy on the outside and chewy in the center part and that it used a darker chocolate. Jam sesh- This was not our favorite and we wouldn't get it again. We just didn't think all the flavors worked together. Short + Sweet- The coffee cake was maybe a little overbaked.

I tried a couple of their seasonal items, and once again the flavors were bright, fresh, and a little unexpected in the best way. Their baked goods are still the standout--beautifully made, not overly sweet & just delicious. It's the kind of place where you can sit with a book, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy a slow morning with coffee and something delicious. Consistently great atmosphere, consistently great food, and a place that really gets better with every visit. Why did it take so long to return. I've now placed it in the top of my list for a great coffee spot.

Happily, I was wrong! Everything went extremely well from the check-in experience, to the food, and the service. Our reservation was for 6:30pm but we got there a full hour early. They gave us a table immediately, no problem. Our server was Maisie and she was wonderful. Patient. Attentive. Super friendly. We ordered drinks and the Pimento Cheese Fritters. They were incredible! We also tried the She Crab Bisque and it was over the top! Delicious and full of lump crab meat. When Maisie brought us our first plates, she asked us if we were considering the pork chop, which is exactly what we were interested in. She said there were only two left and held one for us. This is the kind of excellent service she provided throughout the meal. The pork chop was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a wonderful wood smoked flavor. The whipped potatoes and roasted heirloom baby carrots were the perfect accompaniment. Nothing has changed inside or out since my last visit. The vibe is Charleston laid back and comfortable.

It was Labor Day and things seemed on the quiet side in town. The ambience was great and we were on the second floor. We got right to the libations (he had a Malbec and I, the cider they had available). And then the entrees - hubby got the shrimp and grits, that's usually my dish but I was glad he got it so I could taste. I got the fried chicken, with hoppin John over white rice, and collards. So good! And I wasn't even hungry but I had to test the "award winning" and "famous" labels on our dishes. The chicken is a huge serving - 4 pieces of juicy, tasty chicken - an entire quarter. The hoppin John was good - I just wish there were more hoppin John and less rice. Service was 5 star. Donte was a real treat and looked after us well. For dessert, I was hoping for bread pudding, but it wasn't on the menu, and everyone in the dining room was ordering the banana pudding so we got that to share. It is a large serving, enough for two. The presentation was cute, the taste was regular, and I didn't taste a hint of alcohol (it was a bourbon or some other alcohol).
