Second State Coffee

Crema's Take

“This Mount Pleasant fixture has earned its loyal following by nailing the fundamentals—their espresso drinks are precise and their pour overs thoughtful—while creating the kind of welcoming space where you can linger for hours with your laptop or catch up with a friend over a carefully made coffee. The light food and full breakfast menu elevate it beyond a quick caffeine stop, though it's clear the coffee itself is what draws people back, with customers praising both their traditional cappuccinos and more adventurous specialty drinks. It's the kind of place that feels like a genuine neighborhood gathering spot rather than a chain, with the kind of genuine charm that keeps people coming back.”
