Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Isle of Palms

"There’s nothing The Daily can’t do when it comes to whipping up delicious bites in the kitchen. Their doughnuts are nothing short of irresistible with every bite being rich and cakey. Try the crowd favorites, such as the blueberry doughnut and the sweet potato doughnut in the fall."

"With meat options available, The Daily serves up a variety of healthy toasts and salads. Order off the menu and dine in or grab something from their prepared food section. Don’t forget to ask about the rotating Kombucha on draft or try one of the bottled Kombuchas made locally."

"The Daily, sister to Charleston’s craft sandwich shop Butcher & Bee, is our go-to for gourmet Stumptown Coffee, cold-pressed juices and nourishing grab-and-go provisions. Enjoy a morning Matcha or taste a Tahini Mocha; you won't regret it."

"Formerly known as Black Tap Coffee, Second State Coffee is a sunlight-filled caffeine emporium with minimalist-chic décor, communal tables, window-bar seating, and a sleek, sophisticated atmosphere. The café is a popular gathering spot for creatives, digital nomads, and hipsters who sip innovative lattes – think lavender and brown sugar options – and out-of-this-world pour-over brews. In addition to regular coffee and tea, there are also specialty drinks, cold beers and light snacks available, which can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, daily."

"This coffee bar serves great pour-over coffee, has a lovely selection of teas, and makes incredible cold brew that customers can buy by the glass or by the growler. A clean, serene environment for a work session or chat with friends."

"A favorite for creatives, this off-the-beaten-path, minimalist coffee shop is situated in the Harleston Village neighborhood of Charleston. Order the Brown Sugar latte and thank us later."

"I waited for 10 minutes to get my drink and once they realized I didn’t have my drink they gave me a tall lemonade instead..."

"Nestled among historic oaks and stately Charleston residences, 60 Bull Café enlivens Harleston Village with bright, interesting offerings in an approachable, relaxed setting. At 60 Bull Cafe guests will enjoy friendly service, numerous wine and beer selections, fresh-made food, great standbys, and new local favorites in regular rotation on the menu. Stroll into the Café for a bite, or linger over a glass of wine at one of our outdoor tables."

"Carmella's on Historic East Bay St. features handmade ice creams, Italian ice, premium coffees, wine, adult dessert cocktails, pastries, cannolis, cookies, & gourmet desserts."

"As its name implies, Christophe Artisan Chocolatier would rather be known for its Charleston chocolates. But their French-pressed coffee and pastries are pretty amazing as well. Plus, their seating areas are cute both upstairs and in the outdoor area behind the building on Society Street, just off of lower King Street."

"This cozy shop sells their chocolates downstairs and has a small seating area upstairs. You’ll find chocolate bars and other handmade chocolates including truffles and hand-painted chocolates. Make sure to order some of their drinking chocolate as well!"

"Every sort of cake, pie, or tart can be found at Luckhaus & Brubaker. The pastry chef duo Robyn Luckhaus and Larry Brubaker specialize in whimsical cakes made to look like anything you can come up with. If you desire a baked good in the shape of an octopus, baseball player, or Elmo, they've got what you need."
