    Outdoor seating area

    Stopped in this small, busy, cute shop while walking around Charleston. Lots of options and flavors to choose from including many seasonal options. I had a maple cinnamon latte and my sister had maple cinnamon cold brew with maple cold foam. Both drinks were very tasty and you could really taste the flavors. We sat outside in the lovely seating area.

    Rosemary Rise Latte, coffee cake

    Was walking back to my car and saw a sign for this place. Stopped in and asked the barista for a drink recommendation and she suggested the iced rosemary rise latte. I never thought to have rosemary in a latte but it was really good! Prices were standard for downtown. Coffee was very smooth, not sweet, I enjoyed it! They also had some snacks in the refrigerated case, which I got but will try in a day or two. Glad I stopped in! J.Ja

    Oh my goodness what a cute little coffee enclave!! I left the hotel wanted to find a proper latte while laying over in Charleston, SC and came across The Rise Coffee Bar. Everything about the experience was 5 star! The ambience, the decor, the service... even the weather was perfect that day! I remember sitting outside in peace and quiet simply enjoying my oatmilk latte and the natural greenery! That experience set an amazing tone for the very busy day that lay ahead of me! Please visit if you're ever in Charleston you will love it!!

    Cute coffee shop and great coffee 10/10 recommend

    Cute coffee shop and great coffee 10/10 recommend!! In a great location close to downtown. Great nice people to.

    This isn't Europe, but it sure tastes like it. The rise Coffee Bar at The Restoration hotel brings European-style café vibes to the heart of Downtown. They serve a signature blend brewed just for guests (thanks to Foresight Coffee Roasters), paired with fresh handmade pastries by Little Peanut Bake Shop that are absolutely worth the stop. Don't miss their new seasonal menu and happy hour... yes, coffee shops can do happy hour too. (M-F 2-4pm).

    Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Delicious coffee and matcha! Breakfast sandwiches weren't the best I've had but it was convenient. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The inside is adorable and there are a few places to sit -- it's usually pretty busy!

    A cute little coffee bar near King Street to get you some fuel before the start of your day. We arrived around 11:30 AM and the breakfast sandwiches were sadly sold out. We opted for the ham croissant. I wish they had more protein options as the croissant was super buttery. The worked were very nice and helped us pick other good breakfast options. I enjoyed their cold brew and the inside is a tiny, cute coffee bar with some seating. They have a good amount of seats outside to enjoy your breakfast.

    This was a great little coffee shop! Coffee was great but we did wait for about 10-15 minutes for our drinks. It was worth the wait though. Quiet environment with seating to enjoy your coffee.

    A 3 minute walk from our B&B. Busy, not much space to sit indoors, but a beautiful outdoor patio. The baristas answered our questions but were not friendly. Put a damper on our experience. I had a hot vanilla almond latte, my husband a hot caramel toffee latte. On the sweet side, but delicious!

    The Rise Coffee Bar is the perfect stop for a coffee, tea, or a small bite to eat. I got a Honey Lavender Latte and it was great. They had a lot of fun seasonal flavors and had a nice seating area to sit for a drink, study, or talk with a friend. The latte was 5.50 and I would try a seasonal flavor again if I was in town! The staff was very friendly and helped me pick the right drink that wasn't too sweet.

    It's a cute coffee shop! But I don't recommend ordering the matcha. Just not the best matcha

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!!!

We've had the blueberry muffin, peach turnover, pain au chocolate, olive oil citrus muffin, banana chocolate croissant, and the macaroons. I would personally skip the macaroons - they weren't very good as far as filling and flavor went 24$ for 6 not very good cookies was disappointing. Everything else was great! And like I said coffee (all of it) is super!!

Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

    We gave Kaminsky's Dessert Cafe a second try, but unfortunately they couldn't redeem themselves. On…read moreboth visits, service was lacking. We waited about 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while two employees stood nearby. The two layer chocolate caramel pecan cake, which our waitress initially could not find, was dry and tasted stale. I would not order it again. The Tollhouse pie was a bit better, but the presentation and the whipped cream were the standouts, and the whipped cream wasn't even homemade! That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.
