Mountain Goat feels like Portlandia and Patagonia opened a coffee shop together in Greenville... and it totally vibes. The space has the bones of an old auto shop turned neighborhood coffee meetup spot: industrial, unfussy, outdoorsy. The service is classic coffee shop friendliness. There's plenty of bar seating plus larger tables, so it works equally well for grabbing coffee solo, meeting up with friends, or camping out (get it?) for a study/work session. Trust me (or don't): The house-made waffles are the main character. Hands down some of the best I've had!! The texture is spot-on, with that perfect consistency that holds up under the toppings instead of turning into a soggy carb sponge. They absolutely nail the waffle-to-topping ratio as every bite gets a little waffle, fruit, and topping without the whole thing collapsing. I also loved that ordering "for here" actually means for here; your food and drinks come on real dishes instead of disposable everything. It's a small detail, but it makes perfect sense for an outdoorsy, sustainability-minded brand so the whole experience feel more intentional. Mountain Goat is the kind of place that feels distinctly Greenville while bringing a little PNW energy to the Upstate. Don't leave without getting a waffle. read more

The Mountain Goat did not disappoint! I stopped in for breakfast and got the BEC waffle and an iced latte. The waffle was delicious; I'll definitely be back to try a sweet one. The iced latte was fine; it was strong which I appreciated. read more

The Mountain Goat - Latte, Waffle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Really glad I visited this coffee shop! Cute and spacious with different types of seating and super friendly staff! Honestly I thought the coffee was just ok, but my partner and I tried the brunchetta and savory spread waffles... they were GREAT. They both had yummy flavors, and the waffle itself had a hint of sweetness and a nice chewy, but still fluffy, texture! Would go back for the waffles or even for the coffee if I were to study or hangout in this area! Super cute merchandise as well! read more

I just found my new favorite coffee shop in the Greenville area!! I decided to try Mountain Goat after a recommendation from a friend and wow, I am so glad I took the suggestion! The atmosphere of this coffee shop is incredible, from the music playlist to the seating arrangements it really gives off a welcoming community feel. The employees were so kind and super helpful to answer any questions I had. I got a honey ginger latte with oat milk which cost $7.02, this latte included fresh ginger and the flavor was excellent, well worth the price tag. I sat and worked on editing photos for a couple hours and thoroughly enjoyed my time! I will definitely be back soon. read more

The waffle was indeed yummy and the fruit was plentiful and truly fresh as well. The employees were all super friendly. Great atmosphere and an even better cause. I will be back! read more

I'm a fan of Mountain Goat. I visited on a weekday early evening for two days in a row and ordered a cold brew and cortado. The vibe. It was like walking into a mix of a bike shop, cafe, coffee shop, and mountain store inside a repurposed auto body shop or warehouse. The furnishings are low budget items, nothing fancy. Looks like someone went to Home Depot, bought some lumber, and put together the counters, bar, and displays. Some of the furniture looks like it can from second hand shops. That may not sound flattering but it's done well to create a hip vibe. Music is played on a speaker from one end of the room and it seems like the barista who is working selects music they'd like to listen to. One day they played Indie music. Some of the items they sell in the cafe add to they feel. For instance, they sell Goodr sunglasses and portable camping stoves. Coffee and equipment. Mountain Goat serves Methodical coffee, the best in the area. Their espresso machine is a La Marzocca Linea Classic. Their espresso grinder is Mazzer. I was so glad to see they brewed their coffee on a Fetco machine. Menu. They serve alcohol. Their coffee menu is a simple menu including Cold brew/hot brew, cortado, latte (milk, chai and matcha). They also had a few specialty drinks whose names and chalk writing added to the hip atmosphere (Strawberry Fields Latte). They also serve some delicious looking cold sweet treats and of course their Greenville's own Liege Waffles. What I found most amazing was how many lives they have impacted through their sales. Check out what they are doing for youth! Both of my drinks were good and I'd go back again. I saw folks gathering in small groups, using the meeting room, or like me either by themselves reading a book or working on their computer. read more

Loved the mountain goat and their mission. "Every purchase provides free outdoor adventures, mentoring & job training for at risk kids." I saw a photo on maps and showed them the latte I saw and they recreated it even though it's no longer on the menu. Very sweet staff and great atmosphere. I went there to study but found myself so calmly looking out the window warm with gratitude and a tasty latte! I would recommend this place to everyone. It gives a California or Charleston vibe. Also: I'd you sign up for their email list, on your birthday you can get a free waffle! Enjoy! read more

mountain goat is one of those places that excels because of its sense of community. was the scone the best i ever had? no. but it felt homage and warm. same with the chai latte although that was very good. the ambience is amazing. lots of spaces, outlets, donation areas. artwork, books, post cards, merch, bar area, rustic feel, plants. feels like a community gathering area. feels like where hikers stop for a bite. and welcoming to all read more

I've never been to a coffee shop and wanted every piece of merchandise they sell . Such an amazing coffee place with the best waffles in town. If you've never had Liege waffles do yourself a favor and check them out Wednesday mornings. Whenever we are in town, we always make at least one trip here. read more

We were in Greenville for the weekend, we found this place on Yelp and decided to stop on our way out of town. We were not disappointed, we were already impressed with their commitment to helping at risk youth before even getting there. But then when we walked in and we were immediately in love. The girls behind the counter were lovely. They were friendly and welcoming, they made us feel like regulars. The coffee was amazing, we got the Luke's Apple Cider Chai, the Lorelai and the Stars Hollow. They were all delicious. I will be recreating the Chai at home, it was that good. But the star of the show was the Stars Hollow!! We got the drinks to go and seriously considered turning around and going back for a couple more of the Stars Hollows!! Delicious doesn't cover it!!! Do yourself a favor and go try it out! read more

One of my favorite coffee spots in Greenville. Hard not to love and support a business whose mission is to provide life-changing opportunities for at-risk youth. 100% of their profits goes to just that! A cafe, bar and bike shop that serves draft beer, craft coffee and authentic Liége waffles means there's something for everyone to enjoy. We will keep coming back. read more

I love businesses that give back to the community, and The Mountain Goat does just that. With any purchase you make they are able to help at-risk youth. The night we were there the Automatic Taco truck was serving up delicious, affordable food and there was a nice crowd of young and old. Beer and wine are available, as well as coffee and bakery items. The vibe is cool and minimalist, the staff is friendly. Great place to stop in and enjoy. read more

Great coffee shop! The space is awesome, the staff is super cool and their coffee is amazing! I highly recommend Mountain Goat!

The coffee is good and the atmosphere, too. But it isn't pet friendly. So many good features but I want to go where I can take my dog inside sometimes. There's only one local coffee shop I've found that will do this. It's worth the drive. read more

Guys! This new shop is awesome. Has a very clean simplistic feel to it. So much natural light with the big garage doors. The people that work hear are super friendly and the coffee is delicious. Had their cortado and it was delightful and so tasty! They use Greenville's very own Methodical Coffee, which is always a great choice! They have a large selections of canned beers. Several that Mountain Goat has the exclusive on in all of GVL. They have great pastries that come from Upcountry Provisions in Travelers Rest. They make their own syrups For none coffee and beer drinkers they have Teas, hot chocolate, LaCroix, and water ;) they are soon opening up a section in the shop that wi be for mountain bike repair and sales. Also they provide free after school tutoring for the kinds in the neighborhood. Go check them out! read more

My husband and I love this place! We come here about once a week and have beers at the bar. Ryan the owner and the rest of the staff are always a pleasure to have wait on us.

They do pizza delivery from dals right down the road on the cheap, if you wanna eat dinner there. Also, they help their community! They take children from need based areas and take them white water rafting, biking, etc. and they do tutoring for them as well! They will always have our money and dedication.

Don't be fooled by other reviewers who had one beer and said it's a good business? I am not satisfied at all. The coffee is the most expensive in town! More expensive than Starbucks or Port City Java. The staff is so stupid you just want to swallow your drink and get the hell out of there asap! Oh! And the little young guy in the bike shop! He started with a low price, then by the end I had to pay double!? I brought my bike to be fixed, then he call me and tells me he found other problems with it. I said just fix it. When I came by to take the bike, he said that the chain is broken and need replacing! Why I came to this place and got robbed? Don't even think of bringing your bike here? They will make you pay double price. They're thieves. Shame on them. I am done now. read more

My boyfriend and I love this place! We go here all time. Their coffee it's really good and the staff it's incredibly friendly. Cool area to study and relax. They have a pretty good beer selection which never disappoints and some pretty great beer specials throughout the week. Go for one of their bingo nights once a month! read more

It's unfortunate that the climbing gym has closed, but they have opened up a coffee/beer and wine/ bike shop and they still help at-risked kids in the Greenville area. They get their coffee from Methodical which is one of my top 2 roasters in the Greenville area. They've been open for about 2 weeks now and are still getting supplies in, but they have ample seating and great natural light streaming in from the garage doors from this redone auto shop. Barista was welcoming and it was a great place to get work done. I didn't get a chance to try their pastries, but I will next time I go there. Will definitely come back! read more

I'm been bouldering for a little over a year now, and try to hit up a new bouldering gym whenever I'm in a new town. This was my second visit to the Mountain Goat which is housed in a little warehouse looking building off of Haywood Road. The climbing gym itself isn't very big and is better for bouldering than it is for top roping (yay for me!). Prices are very cheap- $10/day for bouldering-and the employees are pretty friendly. Although the space isn't huge, there are lots of different routes available, as well as a 45 degree overhang that's fun. There's also a bouldering "rock" wall. While you're here, prepare to sweat (AC isn't the best) and get a good workout on! Also, in case you forget your chalk one day (like silly me!), the gym has a community chalk bag you can carry around. A great local climbing gym with a mission...I'm a fan and would definitely return when I'm in the area again. read more

Usually I love mountain goat, but today the coffee seemed very burned and a bit sour. So disappointed!

I was in town for a conference and had a little free time, so I thought I'd check it out. It's less than 15 minutes from downtown, and an easy drive. Really friendly folks working here. This place seems like it has a great mission driving their business, which is something I can respect. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to climbing, but it seemed that there were plenty of tough bouldering routes to keep even an experienced climber occupied for quite a while. read more

THE best coffee shop in South Carolina. The atmosphere is beautiful, relaxing, and modern. The coffee is high quality, top notch with lots of options. The staff is the best part though... everyone is so kind and friendly and makes you feel right at home. If you go, find Mary Neel! She's the best part of the Mountain Goat. And not to mention the community outreach work they do on their non-profit side! It's truly incredible how many teens lives GOAT has changed. GO TO THIS COFFEE SHOP RIGHT NOW!!!!! YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!! High quality coffee, kind people, great atmosphere, and you'll be helping fund their non-profit and doing a great thing! Couldn't recommend a coffee shop higher!!!!!!!! read more

What a great find in suburban Greenville. You can be a total goof like me and rent some climbing shoes, pay a relatively small fee, and fight gravity for however long your body will allow. Their routes are super clean and not cluttered like some (most) places are. Also, the staff is friendly and other climbers seemed pretty nice. I prefer bouldering, so this was a great spot with enough space to accommodate a fair amount of people. I want to say they had a SUPER affordable monthly rate ($60?), which if I lived in the area I would totally take advantage of, but that's something to look into for the locals. I could have been hallucinating though, so wait for another yelper to confirm that one.... read more
