11 Charleston Restaurant Openings to Know This Month | Eater Carolinas

"After years in the D.C. area, Peter Washington moved back to the Lowcountry and wanted to build something for the Black community where he grew up. The Washington Cafe serves coffee drinks and pastries, but it is also a place for artist talks, collaborative meetings, and a celebration of Gullah Geechee culture." - Erin Perkins

As a lifelong coffee lover, I was excited to see another coffee house opening in the Lowcountry area of Mount Pleasant and Charleston. From the moment you walk through the door, the openness is striking, especially since many coffee houses can feel small or cramped. The layout is well thought out, with an ordering area that includes wall seating and barstools, and a separate common area with tables and a couch that gives a cozy, “at home” or visiting-a-friend feel. The overall vibe of The Washington Café is warm and inviting, from the friendly customer service to the décor choices and the standout artwork that meticulously adorns the walls. I ordered a hot latte and the strawberry cornmeal cake, which was perfectly baked, tasty and full of flavor, which I enjoyed while working from my computer. On my way out, I grabbed an iced coffee and some merch. The coffee is rich, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. It is a great spot to work, meet for a meeting, or simply enjoy a really good cup of coffee! I believe The Washington Café will not only become a welcomed addition to the area, but a go-to staple for those who frequent coffee houses.

A Little Love Note to Washington Café Walking into Washington Café in Mount Pleasant feels like stepping into a pocket of warmth and color black art on the walls, culture in the air, and vibes that instantly relax your shoulders. Their coffee is one of my absolute favorite brands! It’s the kind of place that feels less like a café and more like a place to gather and call home . If you want good energy, good people, and coffee that truly understands you, this is it.

I stopped by for the soft opening and absolutely loved it! The vibe was so welcoming, spacious, fun and full of great energy. PJ, the owner, was super cool and made everyone feel right at home. The coffee and treats were flowing and everything I tried was delicious. The decor and art on the walls added such a real and creative touch. You can tell this place was built with love and community in mind. Definitely my new favorite coffee spot!

If you’re a café enthusiast, an art lover, or a true coffee lover, this is a place you have to experience when you’re in Mount Pleasant I had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, Mr. Washington—world traveler, avid art collector, and truly a top-tier tastemaker. He’s created a space that feels intentional and inspiring—cozy, beautifully curated, with delicious drinks and a vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. You can tell he’s happy to be home with family and friends and has poured his passion into every detail. This is definitely my go-to, and I encourage everyone to swing by and check it out too. #supportindependentbusinesses

I was visiting family and was told about this cafe having their grand opening and decided to take a peak in. What a cute cafe. It’s very welcoming and cozy. I met the owner, who was so pleasant and appreciative of the support. I ordered a caramel latte and couldn’t choose or just one thing, so I tried the mini sweet potato pie and strawberry cornmeal cake and was blown away. I see great things for this cafe. Reasonably priced and delightful sweet treats.

Saturday morning coffee date with my son. Decided to check out the newly opened Washington Café and was pleasantly pleased! The owner, Peter, is kind and down to earth and really takes time to make his customers feel at home. The café is spacious and has a really great vibe. A family friendly atmosphere with the added touch of personal, family photos on the wall. Cultural artwork throughout the space as great tunes filled the air. They have a great selection of coffee, teas, and treats. I decided on a Dirty Chai and it was smooth and delicious. It was a great complement to the Strawberry Cornmeal cake. A must try. Cozy ambiance, great service, and seriously good drinks and treats! A great start to my weekend!

I love coffee and search for small quaint shops wherever I go and The Washington Cafe did not disappoint. Super comfy, modern, and inviting. I had my favorite latte, lavender/honey/oat milk, and the barista didn't disappoint. The owner, PJ, brought it out and was the perfect host. I'll definitely go back. Thanks Washington Cafe!
