Best Coffee Shops | Greenville, SC
We’re all creatures of habit, right? We settle into routines and rituals that quickly become a way of life. Our preferences creep into every part of life, including the most important: coffee. Being a coffee conneisseur you would think I’d have searched the very best coffee shop in the city. Alas, I tend to forego the excitement of discovering new places in leiu of my usual Starbucks.
But if you ever find yourself in
Greenville, SC, be sure to visit one, or more of these exceptionally awesome coffee shops. Or if you are a native of
G-vegas, take some time to go explore. They each offer a unique environment that appeals to everyone. I promise you won’t be disappointed and might even bestow a “Best Coffee Shop” tag for one of them.
Due South—”An Artistic Venture”
Drive down the entrance to this massive industrial building and you’ll see various photographers capturing their models against the aged cement siding. Carpenters, painters, sculptors, and most importantly, Due
South Coffee Roasters, have transformed this enormous mill into an artist’s dream and trendy hangout.
Since its opening last February many already consider Due South as the best coffee shop in Greenville. Due South has embraced roasting their own coffee and chocolate. Be sure to try out their specialty drink called the Southern Hemisphere; it has chilled espresso with grapefruit syrup and rosemary infused milk. Due South also features local artists and caterers for both the music and food lover’s soul.
MUST TRY
: Southern Hemisphere
Methodical Coffee—“Open for the Masses”
While strolling Main Street in Downtown Greenville, be sure to stop in at the newest coffee shop located in the Bank of America Plaza.
Methodical
invites everyone in with a sign on their door that says, “Open for the Masses.”
Although they just opened in 2015, Methodical is already a downtown Greenville staple. Not only would one consider them for “best coffee shop in Greenville,” the decor and energy is definitely the “coolest.”I greatly enjoyed a Chai Tea Latte with a shot of espresso while chatting with Will Shurtz, the head of Methodical’s Coffee and Hospitality. They offer cold brews, pour overs, and much more. Their approach is simple, yet sophisticated. “We see a humble sophistication in the simplicity of brewing coffee and the complexity of its master.”
Coffee to a Tea— “Cakes Galore”
This perfect hideaway on Augusta Street in Downtown is every gluten-free eater’s paradise.
Coffee to a Tea
offers comfortable seating in a calming and conversation-encouraging atmosphere.
Coffee to a Tea also bakes their own specialty cakes, bread and signature cinnamon roles and are locally supplied. If a bagel with a twist peaks your ear, you have to try their Spinach & Feta Sandwich. For delicious gluten free cakes, cookies and sweets alone, Coffee to a Tea is always a “best coffee shop” consideration.
I thought only Starbucks knew how to make a White Chocolate Mocha the way I liked but Coffee to a Tea made it, well, perfect to a tee!
MUST TRY : White Chocolate Mocha
