Caviar & Bananas
170 Ashley Ave, Charleston, SC
Crema's Take
“Caviar & Bananas on Ashley Street is a genuine neighborhood gathering spot where the staff—like CJ and Elizabeth—treat regulars and first-timers alike with infectious warmth and attentiveness that goes well beyond typical coffee shop service. Beyond solid specialty and traditional drinks, this place shines as a casual meeting hub with inviting courtyard and balcony seating, making it the kind of spot where medical students and locals alike find themselves returning multiple times a week. The combination of quality food, thoughtful service, and a palpable sense of community creates an atmosphere that feels less like a transaction and more like being welcomed into someone's favorite place.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
