Highfalutin Coffee Roasters

Love having a first class coffee shop in the neighborhood. Staff takes time to speak to customers in a warm and engaging way. The patio is beautiful, a great place to read or work while enjoying a yummy beverage. They also have a great special diet selection which can be hard to find. Check it out

This coffee shop is easy to get to and has a good amount of parking. The outside patio is gorgeous! When we walked in we weren't greeted which was disappointing. I love the detail on the coffee menu. The origin and processing method of the beans was cool to look at. I also really appreciate all of the house made items like the syrups and all of the pastries! House roasted beans are awesome. My cappuccino was perfectly balanced and had amazing mouthfeel. The girl who took our order gave lackluster service. The service is what killed the 5 star rating. Everything else about this shop is amazing. Neither one of the baristas was particularly friendly or inviting and kind of killed the vibe the rest of the shop emits. Not even so much as a smile. When she wasn't taking orders she was sitting in a chair on her phone texting. It seems to be a common theme among the baristas when there aren't customers to just sit there and do nothing. The pastry was great. The blueberry muffin is incredibly moist and has great texture and flavor. They also have a vegan muffin option as well. A lot of the food smells amazing here! I hope the owner takes note of the waste of labor 👍🏼

Excellent place for specialty coffee. The pour over was perfect, and I ended up purchasing a bag of the coffee to try at home. The atmosphere for dining in was very casual and cozy. Highly recommend trying either the batch brew or pour over coffee if you're a coffee snob. Some of the best coffee I've had.

This place was lovely with its cute “garden” patio out front or cosy inside seating once you got your coffee! Everything I’ve had here has been a delight and recommend for anyone needing a space to get away and have a peaceful moment!

The best coffee and kindest people! Love all of the plants and the whole vibe. ADA friendly entry, spaced out tables and restroom. A great place to get some work done and to just relax with friends and family in general. The flavor of the espresso is smooth, bold and buttery. Hope to visit again soon!

I live just down the street and love this cafe. Great people and great coffee. I did, however, just purchase a 5$ breakfast taco that was quite underwhelming and, if priced more appropriately, would have been less of an irritation. I’ve had much better b-fast tacos elsewhere and for half the price. I encourage the proprietor to reconsider this insanely overpriced item, or make it worth the 5$ they’re charging.

The coffee here is delicious, and the girls behind the counter are sweet. They do a great job. The outside is patio is nice when it’s warm and you can sit with your dogs. Shame that everyone has taken to sitting around taking up tables with their laptops. The coffee shop needs to do a better job of monitoring then or keep them to sitting at the counter so one person on a laptop isn’t taking up an entire table for hours . And when I say I want my coffee for here please don’t give me a paper cup. 3 stars for that

I saw this coffee shop on Facebook several months ago, so when I finally relocated to the Charleston area I had to check it out! I honestly felt like I found a little magical oasis :) and loved the outdoor seating area! I just had a honey lavender iced coffee (which was good) and the ladies behind the counter were super friendly! I definitely recommend stopping by and sitting outside if it's not too hot!

Every time I go to Gerald's Tires, I look forward to having some me-time at this coffee shop. The vibe today was great. The staff was friendly and efficient. The place was clean. It was busy, but there was open space to sit with my laptop and enjoy my coffee and caprese sandwich without rushing. Thanks for a wonderful morning!

I loved this cute coffee shop in Avondale. Inside was adorable but my dog was with us so we sat in their outdoor area. It is beautiful and covered in plants. The breakfast tacos were amazing. The coffee was good too. I would recommend this location to a friend and plan to go again.

Highfalutin Coffee Roasters is kind of hidden away in the Avondale area of West Ashley, located across the street from Triangle Char Bar and sharing a space or adjoined with Bearcat restaurant. It's a cool hip space with a covered quiet patio outside to sit & relax with a fabulous cup of roasted coffee. The options are endless for coffee, iced, hot, flavored or not. They can do it. I really enjoyed my Cortado. The staff are great, skilled and helpful. When I'm back in the Avondale area I will definitely be popping in here for an outstanding cup of coffee.

I've been coming to this cafe for a few years. I usually go once and come back after a few months since it's not close by. It seems the ownership changed a lot over the past three years. All bring different menus and services. I came in today and ordered a cappuccino. It was good. They have milk alternatives and flavors. This place is fantastic for studying or reading a good book. It has lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Parking can be scarce, so plan accordingly. The staff wasn't rude but also wasn't as welcoming.

I had to say this place rocked my socks if you're in Charleston South Carolina looking for a great cup of coffee well this is a spot there coffee is very smooth and very delicious. Hits the spot. There's many notes to taste wonderful very knowledgeable about their coffee. they roaster coffee in house. The ambience is very inviting very cool gives a little southern twist. I recommend this to anybody who wants service.

Such a cute cafe! I had the cortado with oat milk and a delicious plant based chocolate chip cookie. Awesome customer service and the patio outside is so cute to sit at and enjoy your coffee!

Cute coffee shop in a great location to walk to other places as well. Loved the adorable China they serve the quiche on. We sat outside and it was perfect weather and shaded to enjoy chatting with friends.

Great location to grab a cuppa coffee, pretty good amount of seats and finally a coffee shop that's not always freezing. Can't remember if they even have food but the coffee is always good.

Another successful trip, their americano we tried this time is one of the best we've had. We look forward to trying more things on our next trip, we find this is going to be a regular stop when visiting family in Charleston.

First time here - was pretty crowded and nowhere to park but vanilla latte was good! Be prepared - they just call out the drink and me and 3 other ppl got the same thing and were confused. And my drink was wrong first time but was only one lady working so giving them benefit of the doubt

What a treasure! We landed and saw the yelp reviews...glad we did! It is charming and the quality is amazing.

Solid experience. The main thing I look for in a coffee shop is just a well poured solid latte. I can't complain here, because the foam was top notch, coffee was very present but not overpowering and the syrup was not too sweet. I didn't have a chance to try any of the food items so I'll add to this once I do try, but overall great and looking forward to visiting again soon! The inside could use a little renovation, it was a bit uninspired, mainly compared to the stellar outside, but not concerned enough to rate it any lower. Great job team!

This place has a beautiful outdoor area that will be perfect to enjoy when we get a little break from the heat. The inside is spacious and clean. They have cool art and the service is excellent. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We tried an iced caramel latte and my husband had the panini breakfast sandwich. I usually don't like iced coffee but I tasted my husbands coffee and had him order me one lol. Awesome little spot that I will be visiting often. They also have a location on James Island.

Lovely place tucked just off a main road. House made flavors, hand crafted coffees. Avocado toast was phenomenal. Nice outside seating area.

First time here and this coffee shop is so warm and welcoming. I got the cold brew coffee with vanilla and the breakfast panini and they are both delicious. Also they have great customer service. I will be back again whenever I'm in the area.

The Almond Latte tasted like burnt water--threw it away immediately it wasn't drinkable

I could not recommend this coffee shop more. They really care about the coffee! I had the espresso tonic. I love that these drinks are becoming more popular. If you like something really sweet I wouldn't recommend. It really highlights the coffee and the bitters were a nice addition

Caroline and staff, always take care of myself; friends and family. Thanks for all you do, cheers :)

This is such an amazing find. Here for work and searched up a coffee place to support local and so glad that the first one I went to was closed and led me to this gem. There is an adorable outdoor seating area with all the pretty flowers. You feel like you're in a garden almost. The gentleman that took my order was very kind and explained the daily offerings to me. I ended up with a honey lavender iced latte and bacon and Swiss quiche. The best quiche I've ever had. The eggs are light and fluffy. (Magical) highly recommend this place! I'll be back if I'm ever in the area!

Highly recommend trying the cortado with added honey. You won't regret it :) Love this coffee shop!

A great place to get some work done! Love the outdoor seating area, but if you need to work there for a while, there's a lack of outlets. The inside has a few spots to plug your laptop in, but it's a little dark in there. Overall though, great location to sit outside with great coffee and friendly staff.

I'm always scared to get lattes from coffee spots because they sometimes taste more like milk. This place made the latte just right!

Coffee is amazing and the baked goods are always so tempting and delicious! Today I had a coffee with chocolate syrup and banana bread to help me through some work. I sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the greenery all around while savoring some delicious coffee and pastries. The baristas are always fantastic and friendly. Bonus points because it's dog friendly on the patio!

Quick and friendly service. Outdoor seating as well. Roast their beans on-sight. Limited menu for breakfast but a good place to start your day in Charleston.

Kid life limits my exploration of places when traveling, but I can usually eek out a visit to a local roaster, and Highfalutin was it on this trip to SC! That said, I'm not sure highfalutin is the word I'd use to describe this shop. Ok. Hear me out. Yes. They def care about the coffee they serve and want to share their knowledge and passion with you, but the staff and vibe are so down to earth and chill, it's hard to see it as hoighty toighty and pompously better than all the rest, as the name implies. I tried the natural Ethiopian Sede as a pour over. It was winey, sweet, and delicious, just the cup of coffee I enjoy. My tip is to always let the coffee cool slightly. Once the heat dissipates a little, the flavors really shine. I loved the fact they served their coffees in cool china style cups. It gave a bit of class and character to the experience. I also really enjoyed talking to the barista. He was up to date on the coffee they served and was proud to tell me about other local roasters worth visiting. That's something unique to the coffee community and something I def admire. The shop also had a cool offering of pastries too. All in all a great experience!

We needed a quick breakfast and we were able to order online. Our order was pretty large and they got everything correct. Packaging was nice and the man who brought the food out for curbside pick up was super friendly. The avocado toast was pretty basic but it was good. I loved my honey lavender latte. The balance of honey and lavender flavors was perfect. I tried a bite of my friends ham and Swiss quiche and it was amazing. Wish we could've gone in to see the inside but I'd stop in the next time I'm in town!

Took longer than expected to make the drink but it was good. Not many food options and was out of the only one my husband wouldn't have complained about. And he did complain when I brought home something else.

This is one of my favorite spots to do homework, the coffee is very good and the outside seating area is beautiful. I just wanted to write a review to warn hot tea drinkers- I ordered iced loose leaf tea in a reusable cup that I brought with me. I noticed that they accidentally made it hot, but I spaced out a few minutes later and drank it though the straw before it was done cooling. Totally my fault for not checking, but I've been having a really hard time even eating liquid foods for the past 4 days because of how badly the inside of my mouth was burned. If you do order hot tea, make sure it has cooled off before you drink it!!!!!! This is a cautionary tale and not a bad review :)

This place is cute and intimate. There were not a lot of places to sit by they do have outdoor seating. Not great when it's 87 degreea at 08:30 in the freakin' morning but I digress. I had the ham and cheese quiche and chai latte. The quiche was delicious but I would have rather had a thinner crust on it. The chai latte was one of the best I have ever had. It reminds me of my first chai latte in Kong's Bay at the Mad Hatter with my sisters family. That chai latte made me a believer ever since. Danny has a scone with some stuff in it. There was a lot of scone but he said it was delicious once you get tot the Tomato Caprese inside. (I'm guessing). He also said the that his coffee was remarkable. They have a limited menu so deal with that knowledge. I'm in vacay and wanting to do breakfast or bakery's every morning until I find my fave one.

Popped in to try the coffee, and just ordered a 4 oz. latte. Got to chatting with one of the owners and one of the customers (who is clearly a fan). There was a passion, with both of them, that I loved. Coffee should not be so difficult, but for many, it is. After a 15 minute philosophical discussion on the topic, I had to go, as I had an appointment. I stepped outside, took my first sip, turned right around and told the owner his coffee was a big win for me and I look forward to many stops on my 'errand Saturdays'. Thanks for taking your products seriously.

I don't drink coffee, but happened upon this sweet shop one luring waiting at Gerald's and wanting some hot tea. I made the mistake of getting a slice of there banana walnut bread and now I'm soooooo hooked. They have other breads/muffins but I return for the banana walnut bread often. They keep a steady crowd of coffee drinkers, so the coffee must be good. Love how convenient it is.

I loved this place! Such a cute location and easy to get to from Charleston. The outdoor space is so relaxing! The only reason this isn't a 5 star is they only do light roast and I love me some dark roast.

Amazing seating on the porch !! So peaceful. The coffee was delicious as well so many options !!

Coffee wise, great spot. My boyfriend loves a good dark roast and the beans they use are really top notch. Food, you're probably better off somewhere else. Pricey for stuff that's mediocre and took them a long time to prep. Also, it was frustrating when I ordered my food before three other people walked in and instead of finishing getting us our food/drinks, the barista handled the next guests orders in their entirety before making my panini.

I've been here a couple times and sometimes it's decent, sometimes it's horrible. I really want to like it because the little outdoor area is so cute. I would almost forgive the bad coffee but the staff isn't very friendly and the price is too high for the taste.

Let me start with simply stating, that this place had one of the best quiche we've had! If you're looking for a place to have good breakfast, don't miss this spot. Their cappuccinos were super yummy and well made. Definitely recommended!

A little snobby, a little pretentious, but I think that's the vibe they are going for here. I wasn't super impressed by the cold brew I ordered, but it was ok. The caramel syrup didn't really have much caramel flavor.

Was pleasantly surprised by how good this coffee shop was. I ordered a lavender latte and the shot was perfect! They know how to dial in and pour a creamy latte with lovely art that's consistent to the last drop!

Ordered the Caramel Latte and breakfast sandwich. Both were delicious. The live music by Dylan Silva was perfect...especially for a coffee shop!

Highfalutin Coffee Roasters on Magnolia Road in West Ashley is a great place to go for well made coffee, drinks, and food. I really like the location and atmosphere here and being able to stay inside or take everything outside. This is a great place to have a business meeting or get some work done.

A friend recommended Highfalutin and it did not disappoint. The iced coffee was AWESOME. I got the breakfast sandwich and wasn't thrilled with it, but the coffee more than made up for that. I love the outdoor seating area as well as the ambiance inside. I particularly enjoyed the local artwork on display.

Great service! Very welcoming and a cozy fun location. Original art on the walls for sale. Both indoor and outdoor seating. They roast their own beans in house. Place is spotlessly clean - even the restroom! Shops in the area to walk and browse. Limited menu for food.

This is the former location of Classic Coffee, renamed and under new ownership, with a basic twist. No fancy syrups and long explanations of what you want in your coffee. Just simple choices. Plenty of snacks to nosh on as well while you sip at the bar or in the comfortable chairs by the window. I ordered the chai latte to go, and if I hadn't already had breakfast, I would've chosen a bite to eat. Love the location on Magnolia with all of the outside seating under the oak trees.

Good place for all types of coffee. The bagel was tasty with cream cheese. The service was good. The location is close to the Triangle Bar.

This was the best cappuccino I've ever had! Soooo smooth and rich. The outside courtyard was clean and the flowers were well cared for and absolutely beautiful. Service was fantastic! My only request would be having some gluten free options of bakery items.

What's in a coffee shop? Coffee. Yep, they have that! And I'm not scared to say that which we call a coffee by any other shop would NOT taste as good. I will even drive the extra couple of miles just to get their coffee...macchiato typically -with an extra shot of espresso- and I'm not sure what they put in that espresso but it definitely does the trick! Classic Coffee fits in Avondale perfectly with the other quaint businesses. With a cozy atmosphere, comfy couches, and nice baristas how can you go wrong? Aside from coffee, they also offer a select but a nice variety of juices, waters and sodas, as well as pastries and the like. Their special coffees -or "seasonal offerings" if you must- go well beyond the realm of pumpkin spice blah blah, but I'm sure they would be happy to make it if that is your cup of tea. You will also find free WiFi, free local publications {I highly recommend Coffee News, especially for the "On the Lighter Side" section.} and free business cards to skim over in case you may not know you need something. What you won't find here is ridiculously high prices, dirty sugar counters, nor employees who look like they would rather be anywhere else doing anything except seeing to your coffee needs. {And anyway, isn't that our job as caffeine addicted customers?} So set yourself free of counting bonus stars and check this place out. ~extra parking in the back~

The loveliest cafe nestled in Avondale is one way to describe Highfalutin Coffee. The crew is mega friendly and knowledgeable of all things coffee so you'll be sure to learn a new thing or two. I went with the tea and cbd honey sticks served in the most dainty of teacups!! Overall a great, quiet atmosphere to get stuff done or meet up with a friend. I can't wait to return!

Quiet and comfy. Great for studying with laptop. free wifi, good coffee. Kind service.

What a nice clean little shop. Great coffee, pastry etc. not as expensive as the other place. The help is very knowledgeable and explains what type of coffee you're getting and where it's from. Great experience. Frank G
