Spill the Beans

Best chill spot in town coffee sweets and the Russian red bull is the bomb it’s a red bull drink in a slushy form that u can add flavors to it my favourite is the peach

Whoever invented the Brown Cow is the smartest person on earth.

One of our favorite spots to get a delicious oatmilk chai. Always great service here. Also a common spot for a good study session.

A solid good place for coffee in downtown Spartanburg

Today was my first experience at Spill the beans. My friends and I often meet up and do paperwork while talking amongst each other, I was very excited to switch it up from our normal establishment and try the coffee and view the space. Upon arriving at spill the beans I purchased a white mocha which was very good. We grabbed a seat and began doing work. A few other college students arrived and began working as well beside us. They had two other friends join them who must have stopped by Starbucks on their way to meet their friends. As the students were working quietly, the Spill the beans employee approached the students and said very rudely, “it is about to be very busy, we need these seats for paying customers. This is a coffee shop and you brought Starbucks in here, you can take it back. I need this space for actual customers.” The students were respectful and stated they were going to purchase coffee and the employee just kept insisting they needed to leave, then walked off. By this time, the entire restaurant was staring because the employee had made a scene. We continued to work while the other students debated on purchasing coffee after the way the employee had spoken to them. ( I personally would not have.) A few minutes pass, a few customers walk through the door and the employee walks back over, more demanding and harsh than the first time telling the students they needed to leave over and over again and that they were not customers due to the fact of not having purchased anything from Spill the beans yet! I was mortified for them. The employee not once asked if they were planning on purchasing any goods from the shop, just repeatedly demanded them to leave. The other students left and my group as well cleaned up after ourselves and left. Before leaving, multiple other customers took out their headphones and grabbed our attention asking what was the employees problem and why was he acting that way. It was very embarrassing. I feel it was very unprofessional and not a fair business practice to handle this situation this way. His delivery was extremely poor and he did not create the atmosphere that has been advertised on social media about this coffee shop. Overall, the coffee is good, the space is beautiful. However, if you don’t plan on ordering a drink as soon as you walk on forget sitting down. As a paying customer today, I feel very bad for the treatment of these students. I hope the employee learns that a kind delivery goes a lot further than harsh demands.

Nice downtown open-air roasters. Just had coffee.

Delicious drinks and muffins!! Great space to study or plug in your laptop and work!

Nice place, with bunch of Slavic people on weekends evenings. I think They should add some more couches by the windows, would be nice! Otherwise great place

The prices are relatively cheap in comparison to their competitors (Starbucks, etc.). I ordered their Hazelnut coffee while was decent except for its burnt aftertaste.

Great indoor atmosphere. It is definitely a place for one to come study and relax without any major disruptions.

It's pretty good. In a bigger city, I'd probably give it 3-stars, but in downtown Spartanburg it gets an extra star just for not being Starbucks. Plus there's a place down the street called the Little River Coffee Bar that kind of set the bar so low that it makes every other coffeeshop in the area look better.
