Iced coffee was refreshing I came back the next morning for another round. It was flavorful yet not sugary. It definitely gave me a kick and got addicted to it, except I'm only in the area for 4 days. Staff and manager were friendly yet professional. Although I was charged twice, the manager assured me they would fix it once the line was manageable. Somehow I trusted her word for it, just the manner with which she handled it was text book! Indeed, saw the overcharged taken care of by the next day. A must stop in downtown historic Charleston for sure! Great awesome pastries, sandwiches Parisian style made and clean refreshing breakfast beverages. This is the best patisserie option which actually lives up to its name, unlike those wannabe k ones!!!

Has indoor and outdoor seating with display case for all the pastries and food they serve Food: crossiant, chocolate banana crossiant and iced vanilla latte. The crossiant was light and fluffy and not too overly buttery. The chocolate banana crossiant had a good proportion of filling to pastry so it wasn't overly full but you were able to get the flovor I. Each bite. The ice vanilla latte was good, not too sweet.

Today I came by and there was a small little vintage market in their backyard patio area, which was fun and cute.

The space was quite loud, with rock music playing, and the condiment station was messy and out of several basics like cream, stirrers, and sugar.

I remembered enjoying it during my first stay, so naturally I had to return. This time around I stopped by twice during our two-night stay. On my first visit, I was tempted by the limited-time LoveShackFancy collaboration and ordered the Pistachio Rose Matcha Cloud Latte. It sounded amazing: house-made pistachio rose syrup, your choice of milk, topped with fluffy matcha cold foam and rose petals. Unfortunately... it was way (way) too sweet. And this is coming from someone who usually likes sweet drinks. At $10, I powered through it, but it definitely wasn't for me. My friend ordered another one of the collaboration drinks and did not finish hers because it was overwhelmingly sweet. Thankfully, my second visit redeemed everything. I went back to an old favorite - an iced matcha latte - and it was just what I was hoping for. Service was excellent during both visits. While the cafe seems to remain pretty popular, it wasn't overwhelmingly crowded. I still love the atmosphere here. It's such a great place to grab a drink before heading out to explore Charleston or while staying at the Emeline. Lesson learned: sometimes the specials are worth trying... and sometimes it's best to stick with your favorite!

This was our first stop after arriving in Charleston and I knew I wanted to return. I first visited Bitty & Beau's back in 2021 during a trip to South Carolina and was immediately positively overwhelmed by the mission, people, and atmosphere. Since then, I've also visited the Savannah location, so bringing my friends here felt like a non-negotiable part of our Charleston itinerary. Thankfully, they were more than happy to indulge me. While we all came for coffee, none of us actually ordered plain coffee. Instead, we opted for lattes and other specialty beverages, all of which were delicious. What surprised me most was that throughout the rest of our trip, despite visiting several other coffee shops, my friends repeatedly said Bitty & Beau's was their favorite. High praise considering Charleston has no shortage of excellent cafes! For those unfamiliar with Bitty & Beau's, the company is dedicated to employing individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, creating meaningful employment opportunities while fostering inclusion and acceptance. As a School Psychologist who works with students of varying abilities, this place holds a special place in my heart. The coffee is great, the merchandise is fun, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the smiles are contagious. Four years after my first visit, I'm happy to report that Bitty & Beau's remains just as magical as I remembered. The world needs more places like this. Five stars for Bitty & Beau's. I'll be back!!!

I ended up leaving with eight bags of single-origin beans from all over the world. Having worked my way through about half of them so far, I've been very impressed by the consistent quality and clean, vibrant flavors across the board. I'm a bit of a coffee-snob so this is saying something! While it's a bit on the pricey side, that's simply the reality of specialty coffee these days, and the craftsmanship here at least justifies it. I highly recommend supporting these wonderful folks--especially if you love lighter roasts with sweet, bright tasting notes. They have been the absolute perfect way to start my mornings!

I ordered the peanut milk matcha, and my husband got one of their peanut milk coffee drinks. I really enjoyed the matcha. It had a subtle peanut butter flavor that made it feel unique without being overwhelming. It was definitely something different from the usual matcha latte and a fun thing to try. The café itself has a cozy, laid-back vibe. They also serve cocktails, which I wasn't expecting. While we were there, lots of people were ordering the shrimp toast and other food items from the café menu, all of which looked really good. It was busy but not overwhelmingly crowded, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. A great spot to grab a drink, people-watch, and take a break from exploring the city.
