I don't live or frequent anything on this side of Mt Pleasant very often, but I happened to be in the area for an appointment and was so glad there was a coffee shop that was open beyond 2 or 3pm! The staff is super friendly, parkin isn't an option, there is plenty of seating, they make the syrups in house, and have some interesting flavor combos. I haven't tried food/snacks, but I definitely enjoyed the coffee. A nice spot if your looking for a caffeine fix or somewhere to get a little work done. Worth the drive! read more

Coffee was not good. Heard so much about it and went to try but the coffee was not well extracted and there was way too much foam.

Really cute coffees! Not sure about the tidal wave flavor, they describe it as a secret recipe, both sweet and salty. It has a hint of salty, but I didn't really taste much. Coffee was good, muffin was great. Service was quick and the workers were all very nice. I will return to try more drinks! read more

Tidal Grounds Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

With all of the popular cafes in the Charleston area, I always find myself coming back to Tidal grounds. I first started going about 4 years ago and I have never had a bad experience. The food is great, and all of their lattes are amazing. The owners and staff are always beyond friendly and knowledgeable. There is plenty of room inside and lots of space to work, if needed. The atmosphere in general is very welcoming. read more

Tidal Grounds is such a gem in Mt. Pleasant! Tried the honey lavender latte and the mocha latte--both were delicious, smooth, and not overly sweet. The honey lavender had a light floral touch while the mocha was rich and balanced. The shop itself has great seating inside, making it a perfect quiet spot to get some work done or catch up with a friend without the usual coffee shop bustle. They also have a variety of fresh, local bakery items, which pair perfectly with the drinks. Cozy, welcoming, and definitely worth a visit! read more

What's better than a piping hot cup of fresh Joe, or... for those who defy the norm, iced coffee? Almost nothing I tell you! Thus, this is where I bring up Tidal Grounds Coffee located in a safe and somewhat easy to access area in Mt P. It's weird b/c I moved from Mt Pleasant in 2000 and in Nov 2024 took my Xgirlfriend around to see the area. I could barely remember where I was as it's changed and has been built up so much. Back to the point walking into the shop it's like a hippie's dream come true with wood accents everywhere and iron complimenting the façade. Momentous of distant lands adorn the walls while there's plenty of convivences like couches and cubbies for that "sophisticated Gen Xer writing the great American novel." As for the staff they're great and receptive of what you want to drink as well as giving suggestions. The tall and charming lady owner I admired as we had a great conversation about coffee. Specifically, if she's tried Kopi Luwak (google it) and if she liked it. Personally, I would never but as a coffee aficionado that's in her job description. The "normal" barista was a very nice 30 something man bun fellow, a guy who was genuinely nice and after hearing his specials, I threw him my curve ball. For my X's coffee she got a Coconut Mocha. It had nice hints of coconut with a nice back drop of chocolate to round out the flavors. The coffee was a nice roast really extenuating the deep complexity of the beans they use. An utter hit but if they were to throw toasted coconut on top, I think it would be game over! As for me, I had a sweet tooth so my curve ball to the young man was something he hadn't considered. A white mocha late with caramel, vanilla and a touch of honey. If they had more flavors, I would have been a kid in a toystore alas the selections are somewhat limited, yet still good. In summary the only item I can suggest is grinding their own coffee would take the experience to the next level. The oils and freshness would shine and be one of the best cups of coffee around. Aside from that I didn't sample their "edibles" however they looked wonderful. To finish, the employees are great people, the ambiance is fun and the coffee is great. Stop by if you want something good to pick yourself up or rub elbows with a future leader of America. read more

Very cute coffee shop! The decor was very homey and eclectic, you don't feel like you're in the middle of a plaza. The baristas were very welcoming. I had an excellent single origin pour over. The pastries were very good, I would definitely recommend the almond danish! read more

Tidal Grounds Coffee - Blackberry scone and almond danish - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

A good local coffee shop. I got the tidal wave after seeing pics of it online. I tried asking the barista what's in it but he told me it's kind of a secret, but that it's sweet and salty. I thought this was cool so I ordered it. I'm not sure the flavor but it had a milky taste. Wasn't the best drink I ever had but I liked the element of surprise. My friend got a galaxy drink that is a black color due to the ingredients in it. It's cool looking. The decor in here is also fabulous. Good place to read or do work if you're local. read more

#ThankYouThursday The morning started off busy and I had to leave the house without breakfast or coffee. After running my errands and taking care of a few things, I stopped by my favorite coffee shop for a small dose of relaxation and familiarity. I was not disappointed. Treated with genuine smiles and the cozy well-known neighborhood coffee shop atmosphere, I chose a latte with soothing honey-lavender syrup. It was just what I needed to bring me back down a notch so I could concentrate on my work for the rest of the day. I so appreciate what Tidal Grounds offers to the neighborhood. Thank you for your commitment to a well-rounded relaxing coffee shop ambience, not to mention the absolute delectable coffee. Here's a shout-out to one of my all-time favorite go-to places in the Charleston area. read more

Extremely welcoming and friendly staff. This is a great place to read a book or get some work done. Cute coffee shop with various seating options. And of course the drinks were good! read more

Tidal Grounds Coffee - Iced Lavender Matcha with Oat Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

95 percent of the staff is super nice, helpful, and sweet. There's just one, the blonde curly haired lady who is a bit on the heavy side that is rude and doesn't ever acknowledge my husband when he thanks her for a drink. Like every time. It's happened over 4-5 times. She completely dismisses him like he's done something to upset her, we don't really know. He says thanks, she stares at him, no smile, no acknowledgment, and just turns away. Every single time. She makes my drinks barely warm, doesn't ever sweeten his, and it feels intentional because no one else does this. We have been coming here for years and she really just sucks to the point we deliberately try to not come on Saturdays because of her. I guess we will definitely have to continue to do that to avoid her. Drinks and staff are usually great when she's not there. read more

Great coffee and pastries and a chill place to do some laptop work etc! Quick service and feels like a local crowd that's friendly but still quiet. Perfect. read more

Let me do you a favor and tell you exactly what to order. Try their honey lavender coffee. It's delicious. You'll thank me for the greatest recommendation. Try their pastries. My son loved their ghost cookie ( honey theme). My daughter ordered their blueberry scones. My daughter loved it. I tried their scones but I think my husband makes the best scones. Their scones were okay. It's not sweet and goes well with lavender coffee. Cute little coffee shop and lots of sitting inside. read more

I didn't spend much time here, but the time I did spend was awesome! And I could instantly tell that I would love to spend more time here if I was in the area. My friend and I were in Charleston, SC and love to try different coffee shops and came across this one that was open "late". Most of the coffee shops were closing at 5pm and this one was open later! We were able to order ahead on an app and they even put it outside for us. We still stopped by inside to check it out for a second, but we were able to sit outside and relax. We tried their cold brew as well as this drink they have called the "Galaxy Latte" which had charcoal in it! I don't know if I was able to taste the charcoal, but it looked awesome and it wasn't too sweet and I enjoyed it. Everyone was really nice when we walked inside and it wasn't too crowded. It wasn't on the island where downtown Charleston was, so it has more chill vibes, than crazy busy beach city vibes. read more

One of the workers was as pleasant as could be. The other worker was incredibly rude & demeaning. I will never go here again! The shop itself is very cute & the coffee was good. I thought this might be my new fave place as I just moved here. BUT because of my experience with the lead barista & her attitude towards me & the way she spoke to me over a very minor misunderstanding has me calling management tomorrow & I will never go here again! That was absolutely ridiculous & no customer should ever be treated that way EVER!!!! The condescending tone & attitude was beyond ridiculous & this girl should never work with the public! Update: This morning (following day after this event occurred) I did receive a call from the owner of the business. I do want to acknowledge his concern & his apology & the fact that he cared about the situation that happened yesterday. He was very apologetic & truly listened. I truly appreciate his acknowledgment that the situation was not ok & that there was no excuse or explanation for the way I was treated. I appreciate that he did not try to make any excuses & actually heard me & acknowledged the situation was bad. I do feel for him as a small business owner. I do not normally EVER leave bad reviews. However, I do think that something must be done to fully address the worker & the situation that occurred in order to ensure no one is ever treated like this again. Hopefully the owner will do that. I do appreciate his apology & wanted to acknowledge that he reached out. read more

This was Sunday sipping at its best I got the autumn spice latte with extra cinnamon! It's literally Fall in a cup .

Very cute cafe. Friendly baristas. I like the vibe of the inside. Tons of seating, some very comfortable chairs. There are outlets available. I had a hard time finding it, as my directions led me across the street when I went through the Yelp link. Maybe that's just me? Typing "Tidal Grounds" directly into my maps app gave me no grief, though. read more

You can't ask for anything more from a coffee shop. Great coffee, nice variety, local roasted, charming decor, friendly service, nice pastries, good location, ample parking, on highway 17 for convenience for locals and travelers alike, close to restaurants to eat before grabbing a coffee and hitting the road... I found a new spot for when I head to the coast for a beach trip! I will be back! read more

Tidal Grounds is a great coffee shop! There are so many unique flavors of coffee. There is plenty of seating whether you are going to study, work, or just go for a coffee!

We will definitely go back! read more

Very cute and welcoming local coffee shop. We stopped in before a Yelp event at Nailed It just a couple of doors down. I got a plain bagel with cream cheese and a chai latte.

This is my favorite coffee place in town. The drinks are amazing. Love all the homemade syrups that are creative as well. Coffee is delicious. The staff are so friendly. Prices are very good.

The best honey lavender latte! Kindest and most efficient service and great ambiance to meet with a friend to catch up, read a good book or get some work done. They also have a second location I am excited to visit soon! read more

Delicious strong coffee with solid pastry and snack offerings in a quiet enclave of shops and restaurants on the corner of Highways 17 and 41. I had an Irish Creme latte here recently and it was satisfying. Sweet but not overwhelmingly so like some of the big coffee chains. Nice, cozy place to work or for a meetup. Friendly efficient staff. Checks all the boxes for a go-to coffee shop. read more

It was nice and cozy place to relax and have a cup. Busy the day we went but we still managed to find a spot. Staff is friendly and I enjoy the sugar free latte my wife and I ordered. The expresso taste was a bit vague to me. I didn't get a hit like I get at some of the other coffee shops. I know every place wants to distinguish themselves from Starbucks but a coffee drink should have....well a coffee flavor in front of any flavorings and ours did not. Did that make it a bad latte? Not at all! But for our taste it was what I would describe as weak. And that is of course my personal preference. Everything else about the place was wonderful and if I am in the area, I would go there again. However, I think I would have one of their coffees straight up and compare. read more

Now staff is fully masked and following safety protocols. Taped off floors for distancing. More outdoor tables added.

Awesome lattes! Great ambiance. Parking could be a struggle since it's surrounded by several other businesses but the convince of using the app for no contact pick up helps. I love the feel that you can come and relax with the different nooks you can sit at here. They gave the best apple danish I've ever had. They offer all different milks for lattes but their teas are out of this world. They sell T-shirts too! You can go sit for a quick bite or relax with a friend. Cost are reasonable and the staff always has a smile. They take all types of payments and are quick to get you order. read more

Stopped in with some friends to grab iced lattes. The baristas were nice and friendly and had a lot of recommendations. The lattes however were a bit disappointing. My caramel latte tasted like there was no flavor syrup. My friend said hers tasted a bit burnt. I would give them a second chase just based on the atmosphere and the workers! read more
