    Coffee UNDERGROUND just like it says.
    Kathy K.

    The decor looks like it might have been an Indian or Oriental restaurant at one time. The decor is a little dated but there are lots of nooks and crannies to settle in to and pull out your computer or visit with friends.There are soft benches, sofas, and chairs, along with regular tables and chairs. A minimum purchase of $5/per person will give you two hours of free Wi-Fi. We came just for a cup of coffee, but the menu is quite extensive. They serve breakfast all day. They also serve lunch and have a large selection of hot and cold drinks, along with wines and cocktails. There is quite a selection of desserts. The vibe is funky and unique. There is a connected entrance with a sign to the Theater/box office. Not sure what that's about. Overall, the coffee was just mediocre but it was fun to explore and see a part of downtown Greenville.

    We waited in line just before 11 am on Saturday, 3/22/25. The line was long and moved slowly, but it only took 5 minutes to get our drinks once we ordered. Cool place, low ceilings, tables, couches, and chairs for seating. It was packed. I got an Iced Turtle Mocha ($5), which was supposed to be chocolate and caramel. It didn't taste like either of those things. My husband got a Vanilla Iced Coffee and it also didn't taste like vanilla. We both threw ours out after drinking about half. It just wasn't good.

    Ordered the tuna salad melt sandwich and the turkey apple sandwich with fries. The sandwiches are cut in half so was able to try one of each as a variety plate with my guest. The fries are seasoned to perfection. The service experience is amazing there's preparation is customized for each order so there's a short wait. The ambiance is nice and there's few options for seating like chairs, booths, sofas, etc. Do like that there are a variety of bottled beverages available as well for quick orders. While there do check out the Alchemy Improv which is the reason I was there. Food orders are allowed in the theatre. Amazing service.

    Entrance.. very cool

    Espresso was solid, medium latte was a bit weak on the coffee, I should have added an extra shot Omelette: double mushroom (and they were fresh not canned), onion and feta was delicious! Onions sautéd brown not quite caramelized but better than 90% of what's out there Sourdough toast... meh It arrived cold and barely toasted... Probably God reminding me to lay off the carbs... All good 4.5 for cool hangout 4.5 for the omelette 5 for the people 2 on the toast 3.8 on the espresso 3.2 on the latte more like cafe o lait I'll be back armed with knowledge and some honey!

    I stayed downtown at a cute hotel downtown. I decided to take my pup on a walk to falls parks and was I happy to see a coffee shop on the way tucked under the ground. The service was great. I ordered a latte. I like the dark library vibes and the cute chairs. My coffee was great and I enjoyed it on my walk to falls parks. Stop in if you are downtown!

    Yep. And bring your own food to your table too once your name is called. I.e. nothing is tip worthy here.

    Great coffee. Great eclectic atmosphere. Breakfast was not so good. Everything was very heavy. Croissant was greasy and heavy, seemed very store bought-like, bacon was thin and overcooked. They ask for a tip, then you bus your own table, bring your food to your table yourself and then asked to wipe it down yourself. Again, if you want a good coffee, here you go. Desserts in the display looked good. But I wouldn't get food here again. Little bit of a gut bomb.

    Great spot, in the basement and reminds me of an off the beaten path NYC or Princeton NJ type of place. Coffee is great! I ordered a Omelette with Cheddar, Sausage, Mushrooms, and Spinach, spot on! All in with a 20% tip as service was great, still cheaper than the powdered egg, water coffee, buffet price at the hotel.

    Great ambience in the cafe, and a pretty solid omelette. Not the best I've ever had but it was still tasty. I would add that the bacon wasn't the best, but that's easy to look past.

    French press pour
    Ang F.

    Fun spot, and truly underground (on Coffee St) in downtown. French press is do it yourself, with instruction. Tons of space to sprawl out whether you're locking in by yourself to do some work, or joining a group for collaborative conversation. Open mic is often offered, hidden away in a room that is even further underground!

    Sea turtle mocha
    Taylour K.

    The drinks were perfect. I ordered a med hot chocolate, my partner got the sea turtle mocha. The service was amazing and all our questions were answered. The hot chocolate is celiac safe. & I love the ambiance in this shop.

    Farmers quiche with salad & plain bagel bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Drinks are cappuccino and house drip coffee

    The place was easy to find and had a great atmosphere. Went on a Saturday and had breakfast which came out quick. The service was friendly and welcoming. Great food choices!

    Had a cozy moody vibe. Dark but enough light for studying/work. Service was good. I would recommend the honey bee latte!

    I'm officially a "day drinker!" First, what a cute name. Then, what an adorable shop...love the…read morecombination of real wood, sofas, old school kitchen tables & chairs, and the vintage apparel they have that is on trend with the theme of the shop. Now for the best....the coffee is amazing. I got the seasonal Bahama Mama and it was perfectly balanced. My friend got the honey, lavender latte and she made pleasing sounds every time she sipped! Service was good. Some of the reviews talk about long lines but we were there on Saturday morning and got served right away. The team fit the feel of the shop. Not a large food selection but definitely enough choices and really tasty!! Join me as a Daydrinker...it's worth the visit.

    So I've had this place on my Greenville list for a while. Decided to stop in for the new sweet corn…read moreespresso while in town for the 4th. I arrive and the line is to the door. So I'm thinking ok this place has to be good. It took about 20-25 mins to get to the register and order. I ordered the sweet corn shaken espresso with almond milk and a cinnamon roll so I could make sure to show support. It took 22 mins to get the drink which o tried to be understanding because it was busy and there was really only one person making drinks. Most efficient way? Maybe not but he was steadily working. I watched probably 20 drinks come up almost spilling over they were so full and delicious looking. Finally mine comes up and 1/4 of the cup is empty. Weather ice or almond milk at least fill the cup like the rest of the drinks. So whatever 45 mins I'm not asking for a remake or anything it's already hot inside and just standing there I'm sweating. I get in the car and think well they short changed the drink at least I got this thick cinnamon roll to make up for it. Well jokes on me again. The roll was very dense and dry. While it may have been made that morning it was dry as if it was a day or two old. I figured maybe it was just the outside that was dry but it was the same even in the center. The centers are always supposed to be the best part. Sadly I didn't get the experience everyone else seems to get. Over all pretty disappointing experience that I wish would have been better to give a better review for a local shop.
