about

EXPRESSO

Founded on the Jitters

I worked as a barista in Charleston as I went through college. It became routine to wake up to espresso and these cafes were a gathering place for me. To be surrounded by people you knew in these beautiful settings and to wake up to the smell of espresso was something special.

This site is meant as gathering place for the best cafes in your city. It's also a place to celebrate them and help other people discover the cafes you love.

There are more great cafes in the Charleston Metro area. As my coffee journey continues, I will find more favorites. As for now, I consider these six to be the best cafes in Charleston. Ahh expresso!
