Had to wait for ever than forgot one of are orders and the coffee was bitter
If you haven't stopped at The Hemingway either on the way in to Kiawah or on the way out of Kiawah- You Should!!! 💞 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their Rosemary/Lavender Almond Milk Latte & just grabbing a quick bite of their warmed ham & cheese croissant 😋👍 Yummy! They need to sell their homemade Rosemary & Lavender simple syrups. They also have a great selection of wines by the bottle 🍷 Cheers!
Delicious coffee drinks and baked goods. Staff is always friendly and helpful.
Best avocado toast and coffee on the island!
I used to go to Hemingway almost every day, it used to be my favorite coffee place. But in the last few months it was just horrible. I waited for my avocado toast for 25 minutes, which is probably normal when it’s busy. But in that particular day there were couple of people besides me and employees were just chatting with each other. I asked for my toast at least 3 times, on the third time they simply said they didn’t even start to make it, they forgot it. When it was ready they just left it on the pick up table, did not even bring it to me. Staff was not friendly, did not even say “Hi”, and after going there for 2 years they couldn’t even remember my name. This is just one of the bad experiences I remember in Hemingway. Also the cleanliness leaves much to be desired. When owners were running the place, Hemingway was completely different from now. I sincerely missed those days.
Super cute & yummy coffee! Great mercy too!
Great place for coffee, food, and everything in between. Breakfast is on point! Beer selection is always rotating and love the wine selections. Every time I pass by, I have to stop in.
Tried to call ahead to place my order but nobody answers the phone. No utensils were available (either plastic or metal), which the staff did not tell us until we tried to eat. Croissants were unavailable. In prior years I've enjoyed this breakfast spot but something has changed.
Fantastic coffee! When we walked in and realized they served Counter Culture Coffee, we were excited. Cute atmosphere too. Loved all the real plants.
My go-to coffee and biscuit stop.The staff is friendly and gets orders out
Friendly and attractive place for coffees, bakery treats, and an interesting retail wine selection. The staff is great.
Great staff. Great cappuccino and muffins.
Great local coffee shop! Delicious food offerings and crafted coffees!
Staff were very nice and welcoming, made our order great and were absolutely amazing. The building felt old and a little dingy. The smell of burnt food being recirculated due to the poor ventilation was also overwhelming. Sad to see a lot of effort going into beer and wine that don't see purchased much as a regular customer, would love to see more options on the menu for people with allergies. The baked goods, which I was told were from a different bakery seemed to look inconsistent and poorly made. Overall great coffee and all staff were super kind and helpful, but would love to have a more coffee focused experience, rather than much of the effort being directed towards beer and wine!
First, the good - the food is decent and their coffee (I assume using Counter Culture) is really very smooth and strong which I love… I do love and crave the Avocado Toast because it really is delish. Second, the staff here (and I have encountered multiple staff members so this isn’t unique to one person) are badly in need of customer service training. This has been an ongoing issue for months as I have visited 10+ times within the last year only to be met with the same poor attitudes and blank stares. Whoever the owner is clearly hasn’t monitored or been monitoring this behavior and if you read other reviews, I am not the only one to experience this. Hopefully they will take measures to correct this or hire some friendlier people otherwise local customers (such as myself) will make efforts to spend their money elsewhere.
Great place to get a great cup of coffee at.. Staff is friendly and food is awesome.
EXCELLENT BLT!!!!!!!! The bread, the bacon, the tomatoes! Great quality!
This is just a great place to get a cup of coffee. Never been disappointed.
Love this little place, best coffee in Charleston and cool digs!!
Any place with a name like this already has a high standard to live up to. They do it well! Neat vibe inside, and absolutely phenomenal coffee. For a special seasonal treat, try their house made pumpkin syrup. The baked goods are made offsite by a local bakery, and they are out of this world!
