Great service! Incredible Caramel Macchiato! Recommend this place to everyone! Very quaint inside ! read more

Location is closed and it's not posted anywhere. Tried calling and they have the same answering machine as if they were open.

I was not impressed on this visit. It seems the butter croissant was the same as you can buy in any convenience store. the chocolate croissant wasn't as filled with chocolate as I assumed. The bread was tasty however, just wasn't a traditional chocolate croissant. The almond croissant was tasty but missing the fragrance and the appearance of almonds, you know when you take your first smell and it takes you all the way to France. The cheese danish was more like a cinnamon roll. Again tasty but not what I thought or what I was looking for. read more

I needed a delicious breakfast this morning, and for the first time found this place on Ubereats. I was so excited, as I love good coffee and it's even better when someone brings it to me! I usually just drink plain black coffee but I like a Flat White, and theirs is excellent. I never add syrup or sweetener but the Flavor choice was required and I felt fancy today anyway, so I tried their housemade Brown Sugar Cinnamon flavor and it was delicious. Very sweet to me, I will note to use just half the normal amount next time, but it was a tasty treat and got my morning started right. In my typical "One of Everything" style of trying new places, I overordered. I got the Everything Breakfast Bagel Sandwich with added bacon, and it was HUGE and filling! Fresh, fluffy scrambled eggs, wilted spinach (intentionally, not like old spinach), a nice slice of tomato, and a thick schmear of delectable garlic herb cream cheese. Honestly it didn't need the bacon, which was super-thin sliced, so save your $2.50 for something else. This sandwich was so hearty I could only finish half. But now that I have cleaned house, I am ready for the other half, and talking about it is making my mouth water! I ordered the Ham and Swiss Croissant but my driver called and said they had to switch to turkey and Swiss. I sighed and said, "I'll live." and he said, "I figured you would." LOL Anyway it is super-flaky and smelled incredible but I haven't actually tried it yet. From all appearances it is going to be light, crisp, flaky, and again quite filling. It could only be better if it was ham. Apparently that's a bestseller there. Gotta get up pretty early to get that one! This was a delightful way to start my day, and now I'm going to finish my bagel! Yum! read more

On Minday, August 28, 2023,at approximately 1354 hours, I, Dante G., responded to Essentials Coffee located at 117-A Highway 52, which is located in the jurisdiction of the county of Berkeley and state of South Carolina in reference to lost property. Upon arrival,I entered the business through the outward opening door centrally located on the A-side of the building. It should be noted that there is a second entrance/exit, also outward opening,on the B-side of the building, near the A-B Corner. I made my way to the point of sale, which is centrally located in the business. I was met by the sole employee, who was later identified as the Owner. She gave me a few moments as I struggled between a honey latte and a hazelnut latte, iced (On a previous, non-documented visit, I had experienced the Honey Lavender Latte, Iced). I chose a large honey latte, iced with whipped cream. After a few moments, I was served my drink as I perused a small crate of vinyl. I bought nothing. I sat in a worn, cushioned chair, brown in color, in the interior A-B Corner, allowing me an excellent view back into the cafe. Immediately to my front was a coffee table adorned with a potred plant backed by three wooden chairs, no arms. The sister Corner has a small sofa, two chairs, and a coffee table (Magazines: Time, National Geographic, and an unknown). The latte was above standard with a coffee taste and a follow up of honey. Business was steady but not overwhelming. A Door Dasher was served, as were parents retrieving children, presumably getting out of school. The lost item, my motivation, was not located in the business. I departed with the thought "Smile There Is Coffee" giving me the boost I needed. Maybe it was the caffeine. The business has been here for just over seven (7) years. Additional investigation suggested. End of Report. read more

I don't drink coffee so I can't say anything about that. But if you drink tea don't waste your money. Their teas are basic and plain. The only way they sell teas is probably from their sugary syrups as everyone loves sugar. I had multiple teas, specially chai tea. Their chai is not strong and I can make it better at home. If I was the owner I wouldn't sell mediocre tea and pastries. The pastries were so bad I had multiple and they probably buy them from Costco or Walmart nothing special. Service is okay. Once they didn't a tea latte when i ordered a tea and they fixed it no problem. The coffee shop is small and cosy. If you drink coffee I suppose it might be a better experience. read more

We visited essentials coffee for the first time today with an open mind. After reading all of the wonderful reviews, we decided on what to get. I had the everything bagel sandwich and added tomato onion jam (.70cents) and bacon (3 slices $1.75). After receiving my bagel sandwich, I quickly realized I didn't receive the bacon over tomato jam I paid extra for. I asked for it and they gave it on the side, no biggie. Let's try this again, I went to pick up and sandwich and everything slipped out, over and over again. Let's just say my hands were very dirty when I was done. I'm not sure if I would get the everything bagel sandwich again considering it was almost impossible to carat intact and eat. My fiancée got the classic breakfast sandwich and she said it was pretty good! Was not impressed but said it was better than Dunkin so that's good. My honey cold brew was great and I cannot wait to try the cheese and chocolate danishes. The building and area itself is very cute and I love all of the plants. Overall, It was not a great first impression. Everyone has bad days and I'm willing to give this place another try in the future. read more

This cute little coffee shop is amazing! They have amazing simple breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Everything I have ever gotten here has been to die for, and it always served with an amazing smile. The employees truly know how to make you feel welcomed and invited. read more

Fair to middling. The avocado toast is a safe choice. The matcha was ordinary. I will have to pass because the cold foam ingredients smelled and tasted spoiled. They did offer to remake. read more

The coffee and pastries are good. Nothing to write home about but good nonetheless. The downside to this cute little coffee shop is the attitudes of the employees. Myself and a few friends have independently noticed the girls behind the counter interacting with customers like we're a burden or inconvenience. I may find it more of a pet peeve than others since I was a barista for 6 years so if that's not a big deal breaker, I still recommend the lattes and pastries. read more

Essentials is a much needed coffee shop in Goose Creek. It kind of reminds me of one of those tasty hipster coffee shops you can find New York or even San Francisco! In this instance, I'm using the word hipster as compliment because I couldn't find an all encompassing adjective to describe Essentials vibe and style. Essentials is one of two good coffee joints I've encountered in this area. They have everything you can want in this little boutique. There's some local items for sale, a cute sitting area, stylish tasty coffee and some snacks in case you're hungry. So if you're ever in need of any of those items, or just want a place to hang out, I'd recommend stopping by. read more

I was in the mood for local coffee and this cute place hit everything I needed and wanted this morning. The decor is eclectic but it meshes with the ambiance. It has local coffee shop written all over it. Easy tunes from the 1970s wafting in the background add to the easiness. The staff is so sweet and pleasant to interact with. I had no idea this gem has been in Monks Corner for 5 years! (Where have I been??) I got a breakfast sandwich on a croissant with a medium caramel macchiato. My total was $12.00 and it was worth it. Fresh eggs, crusty bread, it was served hot and well presented. The coffee was also piping hot and not overly sweet or bitter, just right! If you are in the area, not in the area please stop by this woman owned, local gem. It will be more than worth it! read more

Stopped in here on the way home from a not-so-fun experience at the DMV and was definitely in need of a good iced latte. This place is tucked away in a strip mall but don't let that deter you...it's so cute inside! There was one person working while in the shop so if you are a remote worker this might be a good place for you. It was quiet and not very busy (it was 11 am so not a usual coffee time). The staff was friendly and my drink came out quickly. It was a little bit more expensive than expected but I did get oat milk which usually adds some $$. The coffee was good, had to mix it with the ice a little more because it was still warm, but overall it was a solid iced latte :) I will definitely be coming back and definitely want to try some of the baked goods. read more

I never thought to see a day that Monks Corner gets a hipster coffee shop. I was in town for winter break and enjoy finding new spots in the area. So I opened the Yelp app, browsed for a coffee shop, and Essentials popped up. I was coming from Goose Creek, so it was a bit of a drive getting here. Essentials is off of 52, snucked away in a spacious, well-kept plaza. Essentials Coffee is hip, quiet, and meets all your basic coffee needs. Definitely a place where you can take it for the Gram, hang out with friends and family, and work quietly too. Wi-Fi is fast and free, and their restroom is gender-neutral, equipped with a baby station. I ordered their iced mocha (not blended) with whip cream, and it was delicious! Make sure to check into Essentials Coffee on the Yelp app so that you can get 25% off on your first coffee! And they have loyalty cards too. Definitely check them out when y'all get the chance! read more

They always have great service and make a great LondonFog! They also help support other local businesses in their shop.

Everyone is always so nice! I've really enjoyed everything I've had but their lavender latte is THE BEST!

Great coffee and amazing service. They have two group areas with comfortable chairs and couches. Courteous staff. I had the croissant sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheese. They outsource from a local bakery; flaky and delicious. The eggs had a weird texture but the sandwich was good overall. Plus a regular latte and with the 25% discount for first time check in (Yelp) it was $8 and change. read more

Very cute with great relaxing environment. The food menu has a ton of yummy options and the drinks all look good. The text to order curbside is super convenient!! I had a sausage egg and cheese croissant and it was delicious. They have cute small business setups inside for some shopping and it would be a great place to study or meet friends. read more

There's finally a cute coffee shop in the Goose Creek/Moncks Corner area!! Whether you're wanting to grab a coffee on the go or stop in to grab brunch with a friend this is a great option. The interior decor is so cute and homey and they have small plants and records for sale. The food and pastries are really good, I recommend the everything bagel sandwich. They have a great variety of coffee and drink (tea and smoothies) options for everyone. They offer multiple dairy free alternatives and a lot of flavor add in choices. The staff are still actively wearing masks, unlike a lot of places in the area, which is nice. The only reason I knocked off a star is because I've had coffee grounds in two different drinks (ordered on different occasions) and for a $5 drink that shouldn't be happening. read more

Brown sugar latte. Get it. Cute little boutique style coffee and snacks. Perfect for a morning stop to get coffee if you're not feeling making it yourself. Out of the food I've gotten, I'd recommend the breakfast burrito. They also offer order ahead which is convenient. read more

Solid iced americano, and awesome for a quick and delicious breakfast sandwich. Glad it's in the neighborhood.

Amazing coffee! Small breakfast items. Wonderful atmosphere. Uplifting music but still soft enough to work. **Update** New breakfast sandwiches are out of this world! read more

Good coffee and omg that chocolate croissant is awesome. However please get some other stevia, my first coffee was not the best first experience because the off brand stevia made it taste like nail polish. I knew it was the stevia as my husbands unsweetened coffee didn't have the same chemical taste. I can't have cane sugar or sweet and low, so though it was awesome to see the green packets, I'll remember to bring my own. (My second coffee there was great, as I brought it home to sweeten) read more

Very clean place, and politest staff!! Along with good baked goods and coffee, highly recommend.

This is a very cute coffee shop that wants make me to smile because there is not only good coffee but wonderful atmosphere to relax and it's a neat place in the Moncks Corner area. They use King Bean roasters for their coffee. The ambience is relaxing as they have four sofas and several tables. You could have a cup of java and dessert plus maybe sneak in a power nap. It's open M-Sat from 7-7 and Sunday 2-6pm. Their tip is to check their FB page for specials. Highly recommended if you want to get away from the city and still have an urban feel in a rural area. A true hidden gem in the Moncks Corner area. I got away from the city and the forestry is a blessing! read more

Best coffee I've found in SC since moving from Seattle!! So glad it is so close to my house :)

Great place! Had the ice coffee and was not disappointed. This place has a great vibe, friendly staff and clean facility. I think it's a pretty decent size for a coffee place, and quick service. They do offer a curbside pick up order option if that works for your schedule. Unfortunately there's not drive through, but it makes it more personal that way. If you're in the area, definitely need to give this place a chance. read more

I am visiting the area and been here twice and it's awesome. Their coffee is delicious, the avocado toast and the chocolate muffin were delicious too. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

All around great place! Love this coffee shop for its location, as we live in Foxbank. Bagels and pastries are fresh and delicious. We typically order an egg and cheese bagel sandwich, and a cheese bagel toasted with jalapeño cream cheese. We've had many coffees/teas with no complaints! I'm not a huge coffee drinker like my husband, so the smoothies are what I'll order- the berry is a favorite of mine! Service has always been friendly, and I love the "text to order" so convenient! read more

This is everything you expect from a neighborhood coffee shop. Solid variety of coffee drinks, some of them the expected standards and from time to time an experiment or two. Pastries are classic and filling, and as far as breakfast goes I am deeply satisfied. You can text ahead if pressed for time, but when your schedule allows hang out a bit. Cool, crafty environment, always some relaxing music on and the coffee house smell greets you on the way in. Nicest folks around. read more

I have really enjoyed this little coffee shop. We live around the corner and stop there occasionally. Everything I've had there has been good, including the bagels. The specials are always great (check their Facebook page!!!) and I've really enjoyed the coffee based drinks. It is perhaps a little pricy for what you get, but I like that it's local (and not a Starbucks) and feels cozier than other coffee shops. It's a nice little spot in Moncks Corner and I'm glad it's here! read more

I needed a little mid Morning pick me up so I ducked in to Essentials for a quick drink while catching up on some emails. Cute little place that seems like it could have a steady stream of regulars since it is in a neighborhood. I didn't want a full cup of Joe so I got an espresso instead. It was serviceable. I have had better but it did the trick. Cute little shop with a decent shot of espresso. $2 for the double which I found to be an average price. read more

My favorite coffee shop. I am addicted to the avocado toast. Love the convenience of curbside pickup.

Love this place! My favorite song was playing when I walked in :) I was greeted immediately by a friendly staff member and ordered a vanilla latte. I ordered it in a mug and was not disappointed. The coffee was great! Can't wait to try everything else. Love the atmosphere and the cute chairs and lights outside. read more
