We went in for a drinks with our little girls - little had the strawberry crescent and strawberry sunrise boba drink - she gobbled the whole thing up in about 2 seconds!! I had the salted caramel latte and it was DELICIOUS!! Brought my husband home a caramel latte - which was supposed to be nothing special but it absolutely was. The barista could see I had my hands full so he kindly put the drinks in a holder for me. THE BEST!! The whole place is decorated spectacularly, clean, and honestly, just overall super cute. read more

This is my first visit since the store remodeled. The store looks amazing with the light wood grain floors contrasting with the dark forest green walls and counters. The service was fast and polite. The baristas were super friendly and cordial. I ordered the Beach Bum Latte with honey sea salt latte with Raspberry and Cold Foam from their Summer Menu. It was very refreshing. Best order this limited time drink. read more

I used to come to this spot back when it was Cuppa Manna. They have done a great job with the renovations, it is very airy now and they kept the same vibe with the revamped menu. It seems like there might even be more places to sit now. The only reason I didn't give this experience five stars is because the service was a little lacking. The posted hours are until 6:00pm and my friend and I came at 4:00pm. We were sitting and chatting and at 5:15pm she said she wanted to grab a coffee to go. She walked up the counter and the young man told her they were closed and he couldn't get her the coffee. We asked if we should leave since they were closing early and he told us we could stay because they weren't actually closed yet, just for ordering. He then started cleaning the whole place around us. It was super awkward and we ended up leaving since we weren't sure if we were welcome at that point. Maybe clearer posted hours and some additional staff training would make this better! read more

I was a frequent flyer of this establishment prior to the remodel/rebranding (long before the new owners). I love what they have done with the space. It has been given a much needed makeover and looks wonderful. I stopped in one day after work to meet a friend for coffee. There were customers, but it wasn't packed. It took a minute to be acknowledged by a staff member, but once they did, they were nice. I ordered one of their specialty/seasonal drinks - I think it was blueberry cinnamon - I can't remember. But it was an iced latte with a hint of flavor, not much too it. I can say that the coffee wasn't the greatest, but the space is very nice. read more

Stillwild is a great new addition to the Summerville downtown area. Their menu includes several gluten free options. The store manager helped catch a mistake in the order creation and provided us with coupons for a return trip to account for the time it took for them to remake the drinks. The ambiance of the store is very comfortable and welcoming. read more

Stopped in yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. I did not know that there had been a change in ownership of the coffee shop located here. I have to say - it is a much nicer establishment now. If you are gluten free, they do have some menu substitutions you can make - however it is not celiac safe as their kitchen has cross contamination. There are two sealed prepackaged gluten free items (a cookie and a brownie) that may be safe for celiac. The staff here were extremely friendly and took really great care of us. Even during a large rush, the place still had enough seats and standing room for us to navigate. The bathroom is very nice and also includes a changing table which is a win for us moms! While my husband and I were waiting for our food and drinks, they accidentally made my drink incorrectly but they caught it themselves and started remaking it before ever serving it to me. The manager ended up bringing us a free coffee voucher for our next trip to apologize for how long it was taking. This is a wonderful example of their amazing customer service. I'm looking forward to coming back here! read more

Such a cute little coffee spot. Came in on a weekday morning. So not a huge crowd. Plenty of comfortable seating, and even a few outdoor tables. There are menus at the counter. Some pastry items, and breakfast sandwiches. Both were good but I would like to try other stuff. My latte was amazing! I noticed they do offer some sugar free flavors as well as being able to opt between whole milk or almond milk. It's a nice space to get some work done or catch up with a friend or just enjoy reading a book. Great addition to the downtown Summerville area. read more

I have been here once since the renovations have been completed. I got an iced matcha which was delicious. They did tell me they were out of Chai so that was my back-up order. The cafe is so clean and there is great seating (indoors and outdoors). The baristas bring the drinks to you which is a plus. I will definitely try StillWild again. read more

Purchased a Mocha Frappuccino with a double shot of expresso; my go to drink when I need a little something special. This was my first time trying it at StillWild. Never again! Staff behind the counter seemed unorganized - people walking away from what they started, only to turn around and go back, not knowing where ingredients were located, while customers waited, and waited and waited. I would have left but already paid. When I finally tasted the drink, it was a watered-down version of what I'm accustomed to from Starbucks or Bigbee. I ended up throwing it away. Awful! read more

I found Summerville Nutrition on Yelp. It wasn't too far away so I decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did. I've been to a couple places like this before and I wasn't all that impressed. This place, however, is different. I ordered the Brownie Batter Shake. Omg this thing was so good. It tasted like a regular milkshake, but of course, it's filled with nutrients such as protein. It's supposed to be a meal replacement. I finished the shake before I even got home. I had to run by the bank on the way but I wasn't out that long. I was surprised I drank it so fast. I ended up ordering one of their teas also. I got a Pink Flamingo Collagen Tea. It's supposed to be rainbow candy and cotton candy flavored. This drink was good, however I didn't finish it. It was very flavorful and sweet with a bit of tartness to it. It tasted good but I think it was a bit too much for me. The sign says grand opening but apparently they've been open a few months. They just haven't gotten a real sign yet. The inside is pretty plain. They could fit a few small tables in there. There's nowhere really to sit besides the bar by where you place your order. Overall, I think this place is worth trying. The shake was really good. The tea was good too. They could use more seating and a sign. But all together, I'd recommend.

It was more of me having to chew and eat the smoothie than actually drink and enjoy. This quality is very disappointing coming from Playa Bowls. The flavor was not there either, the orange taste was subtle and didn't taste like a good quality orange. I've always stuck to the same products, maybe that's why I've enjoyed Playa Bowls so much.
