Second State Coffee

One of the best lattes I’ve had in a while. I got a hot almond milk brown sugar latte and a banana bread. The bread was quite good. I also really like the ambiance: quiet, bright, and welcoming.

Hands down the best coffee we had during our trip to Charleston—and we tried quite a few spots! The latte was perfectly made and so flavorful. The staff were friendly and made the place feel genuinely welcoming, like stopping by a friend’s house for coffee. Cozy vibe, great service, and amazing coffee—highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Friendly and quick baristas and consistently good drinks. I love the almond milk matcha! They also have really yummy pastries and baked goods Plenty of seating options inside and a couple tables outside as well. Always good music and there’s lots of plants and sunlight to start your day off right! Right near Colonial Park too so it’s a perfect spot to hit on a walk.

Loved it - very local feeling to it. Off the hustle and bustle of the retail and tourists. Excellent oat milk Capp. and Italian style espresso. Both were perfection.

A charming, authentic coffee shop in Charleston’s historic district. The coffee is of good quality. The design is very simple, but bright and clean. It’s a bit cramped, but the great coffee makes up for it. I recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.
