The book store is great. They have a wide range of books. The bookstore staff is not very helpful. The coffee shop is great and staff in that part are great.

Taylor Books is always a favorite safe place, live music on Fridays, tons of community involvement, amazing coffee, tea, drafts and mimosas. Books and art. What more could you want

Rainy Sundays are for taylor books, veggie quiche, and chamomile tea. This cozy spot has so many pros and amazing vibes that keep myself and others coming for more day after day. The owners are an absolute delight and the workers (in every position) are genuinely kind and offer prompt assistance when it’s warranted. Come sit a spell and grab a book on your way out!

This was a pleasant place to sip a half-caff mocha and write on my laptop for a couple of hours.

Awesome bookstore with attached cafe! Plenty of spots to just sit and read, has a cool arts exhibit space for local artists too. Also sells great art pens and a wide selection of cards. Love their used books section where you can buy with used book credits.

Cozy little bookshop in a cute part of town. Best London Fog I've ever had.

Taylor's one of my favorite downtown places. Last Friday purchased 3 slices of that chocolate cake and took it to tellers st Chase downtown Bank. I 🤔 it's important to introduce businesses to other businesses if they don't have the time to check out the business and what they have to offer 😊👍

Very downtown-ish flavor. Nice quaint area of the city. Brick sidewalks. With café inside. Nice shop but pricing system is hard to make sense of. No pricing shown anywhere. Need to bring books to counter to get prices. Across from Ellen’s Homemade Ice Cream. Mmm.

Best coffee shop I've been to in the area. It's hard to find a good macchiato, and they nailed theirs. I'll be back!

One of the best coffees I had in town but also one of the worst customer services. Was in town for a few days and heard great things about the place and the coffee and did not disappoint at all. Amazing atmosphere, amazing selection of art and books but the lady helping me at the bar really stood out being very rude to me and my friend and when I decided to go back the next day the same happened. Will definitely be back when in town again but hopefully won’t be having her as my barista.

We love to stop in this bookstore every time we visit Charleston. The selection of books is great but the selection of handcrafted pottery and other goods is out of this world. So fun to browse in this store.

Their baked goods, especially the carrot cake, are great! When they have live music the bands are always good make sure you get there early because seating is limited for the amount of people who come and standing room isn't really possible here. This is a nice place to have a coffee or draft beer with friends or alone.

This place has everything. There was live music on the night I stopped in. It has a bar and coffee counter, an organized book selection a used book area, interesting gifts and unique cards.
