Second State Coffee
766 S Shelmore Blvd, Mount Pleasant, SC
Crema's Take
“This Mount Pleasant spot excels at the craft of espresso-forward drinks, especially when you venture beyond the classics—reviewers rave about creative signatures like their Brown Sugar Cortado and hand-drawn cup designs that turn your order into a small piece of art. The vibe strikes a rare balance between a quick caffeine stop and a genuinely welcoming place to linger, with a sweetly attentive staff that goes out of their way to delight families and regulars alike, though the kitchen's breakfast offerings are a bit more hit-or-miss than the coffee itself.”

I recently stopped by and ordered a Cortado with the Brown Sugar syrup. The atmosphere was friendly and the service was fast. My coffee was really good and I plan on adding them to my list of go to coffee places in Mt P.
I have come here periodically over the years and in my recent visit was more disappointed. The coffee was solid, and service and environment was nice but the breakfast sandwich was pretty average. It was just a standard hamburger bun toasted on griddle with hastily scrambled eggs and a slice of American cheese thrown on top. The sausage was good but I wont be ordering that again.
I love supporting local coffee shops and I've been here about 10 times but this location makes me question my choice every time I walk in the door. My coffee is always great but it's baristas that make a coffee shop welcoming and I never feel that here. You would be lucky to catch a smile from anyone who works here, no small talk, very monotone and never friendly. I love second state coffee and the location but the staff has me questioning if I will ever return. I understand coffee shops are busy and can be stressful but a smile or a "how's your day" would be nice!
Great coffee shop with plenty of seating in a central location. The baristas behind the counter gave me my drink and I thought they made a mistake by giving me a cup that an artist drew on- nope, it was just from them doodling the sickest drawing ever on a cup. I would leave more stars but I left them a tip instead. I’ll be back for more
Sweetest staff, made my child’s day 😆 made a design on her hot chocolate! How cool. Food was delicious. The fall French toast was amazing with apples on top
