I finally got to experience this ultra chic cafe in West Ashley a few days ago. What a great coffee…read moreshop. They use Riptide coffee beans and make delicious coffee drinks. We also had Mushroom toast (a first for me) ... it was outstanding. I loved it, full of flavor & umami. My daughter had Avocado toast which was also great. The staff are so nice and eager to ensure that the best service is provided. The cafe is cozy, chic and inviting with a mix of seating areas. Wifi & window views. They have parking out front. We will definitely return to this great spot.

I usually ask for light sour cream as a healthier option. Everything sits on top of fresh sourdough that is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Cafe Roca never disappoints and this dish is hands down my favorite. I will keep coming back for it again and again!

Babas on Cannon is a cute little neighborhood café that we stopped into while exploring Charleston…read more Their specialty is peanut milk drinks, which sounded interesting enough that we had to try them. 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.

We bought a few loaves of delicious bread to take home. Got two coffees & a cookie & sat outside to enjoy. The outside area is shaded which was a great advantage today. They also have some seating inside. It seems like locals come here to get some work done. They have a great selection of homemade sandwiches & Quiche. They also had breakfast sandwiches but they were sold out when we were there at noon. Our experience was fine. In my opinion coffee not great unfortunately. A little too weak for me but other than that, all good.

I wish I had a better update to provide, but....I just can't. While the staff is friendly and…read moreservice is fairly quick, the coffee just makes me sad. The flavors are not consistent, sometimes it tastes burnt - I don't know what's up. Based on my last few visits, I don't think I will be getting my morning dose of caffeine here anytime soon. I'm sorry I don't have much more of an update to offer.

Rebecca, how can you not drink coffee, but spend half your morning writing reviews for coffee…read moreshops? Great question! As networking is a large portion of my job, I get to meet new people and spend more time with them during 1 on 1s. Biggby, who is owned by a networking friends family, and is also the supplier of coffee for our weekly One Million Cups meetings, is where you'll find a lot of us on Wednesday's around 10:30. Even as a non-coffee and pretty much non-caffeine drinker, they had a mango/blood orange drink that I can get without caffeine. I've had it on the rocks and a version that was thick and creamier. Both are good by me. Depending on how packed it is, you may or may not have to wait a few minutes for your order. But my that time I'm usually, so in-depth with my conversation that I don't notice the amount of time that passed. Another great spot for meetings!

I had a One Love Kombucha that is brewed in CHS. Blueberry basil was my pick and I finished the whole bottle. Yummy! The seating area inside is small and the place was packed. It was cool outside but sunny, so we were able to meet and enjoy their outdoor seating area. Definitely a great spot for a meeting if you can get a table. I will definitely continue to recommend this local shop.

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!!!

They have limited seating for dine in, however, I had no difficulties in finding a seat to enjoy. They offer free refills on your coffee and also have free water (and fruit-infused water) if you are dining in as well. The food reminded me of France. Not that I'm saying this place is an amazing French restaurant, however, it does mirror a nice French cafe. Apparently Saveurs du Monde Cafe is a chain, but I won't hold it against them and neither should you!
