Taylor Books

The book selection is great, nothing like at big chain stores, and the cafe has the best coffee around! I go as often as I can. They are inclusive, eclectic and really fun.

I have never went there, placed my order and turned around and left. I enjoy the walking around the store looking at the paintings they have on the walls. Book readers new to the Charleston area, I strongly suggest you become familiar with Taylor Books!

Pros:
Great art available in the store with a lot of unique gift ideas. I adored looking through the little art gallery.
Coffee bar was nice, made an amazing London Fog pretty quickly.
Prices are reasonable.

Cons:
Homeless people camping out in bathroom. Had to get staff involved. Bathroom was filthy and smelled horrendous. Toothpaste all over the sink, tons of trash including clothing, filthy toilet. If I hadn’t been ready to burst I would have gone elsewhere.
Inattentive front counter staff, lack of transparent pricing in some of the art.
Flavors taken off coffee menu with no explanation, no signage. Drove all the way out there for a specific drink they make and it was no longer offered.
Uneven flooring with no signage or warnings, I have two knees that need replacement and I almost tripped more than once.

I would definitely go back, but will be more cautious and use the bathroom elsewhere.

Great historic place. Make sure to visit.

Always a fun place to go and check out there books and other exotic things. Coffees are pretty good, not the best, but definitely worth trying. I've always loved this place.

Very nice vibe in here. Nice lighting and music.

The woman behind the counter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
I love the creaky floors and the smell.
10/10 ambience. 10/10 eclecticism. 7/10 quantity (selfishly wishing there were more books).

One of the most lively book stores I have ever been to. It was packed in a very good way. They had large on sale and used sections, with a mix of award-winning and local authors. Very much recommend stopping by if you like books and are in the area.

Currently sitting here in this cute cafe, book store and art gallery! All of the employees wear masks, which is especially important while preparing drinks and food. Atmosphere is relaxed & clean. Lattes could be a little stronger, but they taste great!

This place is always worth stopping in for a peruse and a hot drink. I love it here.
