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 didn't know that this is not your average coffee shop prior to wandering in, but once I learned that I thought it was super cool to see their mission and who they offer jobs too! Definitely worth checking them out and supporting a great cause! They even write nice messages on your cup!

Recently I got the capresse sandwich, and it was good but I recommend getting that for din-in only. I had it to go and it was kind of soggy when I got back to my office.

The main reason I came was because it was open earlier than some of the other alternatives. It wasn't the smoothest service experience as I was directed to one desk to pick up my salad and they told me to wait there only to have it put out in the back without giving any indication to me that it was ready. The available ingredients for a salad were diverse, and it was a helpful thing to be able to bring to the beach with me. The combination I got was bizarre, but for the most part worked because I ate my sweet chili tofu before I put on the ranch dressing for the rest of the salad. There is some quality here, but I've had better experiences elsewhere in Charleston.

What's funny about this place, is that it's probably the most "blue collar" smoothie place I've ever been to. It's run by the MUSC cafeteria staff, so you don't have to worry about the neo hippie douche bags annoying you. Mostly nurses, med students, and visitors to the hospital. 2 36oz smoothies were around $10, which is kind of high, but that's pretty much the norm for smoothie joints anyway.
