Bridge City Coffee

Wanted to like this place more. I’ll be back in the future to try more things. This time I had one of their strawberry nitro teas. Didn’t have ice and was slightly cold. Seemed like it would be better if they put ice in it. The flavor was fine after I added some stevia. Staff was nice. Place was mostly empty.

Absolutely loved my cup of coffee. The barista recommended a particular roast and it was spot on. I'm usually fond of coffees that are offered in a pour over method, but their drip coffee was outstanding. Very, very happy with my coffee here. And it's a bright and welcoming place to sit and enjoy yourself too!

I finally reach what resembles civilization after spending hours weaving thru a SUPER rural pocket of South Carolina. The sign I see reads “Travelers Rest” so naturally I commence looking for a rest stop…but instead what I enter is a flourishing little town center with plenty to see. My body consults my soul and they agree that coffee is the goal. Before I could even activate my google fingers…I see a trendy looking cafe and swerve like a maniac and park to the dismay of the car beside me. This was official business..

The exterior of the cafe was dope sauce showcasing a covered patio, string lighting and plenty of seating for caff-fiends. The interior was virtuous, simple, fun, bright, fresh and vibey with the polite staff matching the decor. It was far too populated for me to snap a lot of photos and possibly blow my cover as the coolest reviewer on the planet.

There were three blends of caffeinated brown bean water on deck and oh how I love options in threes. I chose the Nostalgia Blend. After one sip I began to taste my childhood and that was pretty damn good. Full and rich are words that come to mind. I also opted for the “Strawberry Bar” because it was whispering to me from inside the display case. It was thick fluffy and sweet similar to what I prefer in a mate. So rich it could be 1/3rd of the size and still make sense.

Before leaving I visited the restrooms 1) because I believe the condition of a restroom says a lot about a business 2) I needed to wash my hands of the wretched Dunkin Donuts coffee I settled for earlier. The restroom signage was also creative (go see for yourself) and it was uber clean and well stocked.

This place was a major win. If you find yourself breezing through #TravelersRest this is a destination you need to explore. Kudos to the owner(s) and I hope my words prove helpful and provoke a smile. Follow along as I continue to travel everywhere and review damn near everything.

Raspberry Truffle. Excellent! Also had a great tea here. Nice place, nice people. I saw a lot of folks enjoying desserts too so we'll try that next time.

Great coffee. Even better service. I had a strange request, but the sweet girl didn't bat an eye and delivered a perfect cup of coffee.

I've been coming to Bridge City for about a year and a half now and I LOVE it! The baristas are so kind and I always feel welcomed whenever I walk in. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to study or meet a friend! 10/10

Great Great coffee the atmosphere. Staff were courteous and friendly. The apple pie var paired well with my coffee. Overall great experience in Traveler's Rest SC

The coffee was okay. We had the pistachio and we both love pistachios but the drink we could have passed on.

Another great coffee option in TR. Small biz with great coffee products. Right on Main St. Indoor and outdoor covered seating with free wifi.

Bridge City has the best coffee and lattes I’ve ever had. Their coffee just seems smoother than any other. I also really enjoy the size and layout of the location in TR.
