Spill the Beans
531 S Main St, Greenville, SC
Crema's Take
“Spill the Beans is a sprawling downtown Greenville favorite that excels at creating space for everyone, whether you're flying solo with your laptop or gathering a group—the baristas are genuinely talented, and signature drinks like their dirty chia latte justify the hype. Fair warning that consistency can be spotty (ingredient availability and hours seem unpredictable), but when they're on their game, you'll find excellent coffee and hot chocolate in a relaxed atmosphere with fresh pastries to match.”

This place left a little to be desired. Maybe it’s because my kids loved the name and kept saying how much they wanted to visit. We got ice cream and it was a VERY basic soft serve. We were hoping for a bit more premium ice cream option especially since it was right downtown on the Main Street. It was just fine. The space was big and they had a lot of negative space, it felt more like an art gallery than a coffee shop.
They are always out of multiple mix in ingredients. They have the weirdest hours and are sometimes closed when Google (and their own signs) say they’re open. This used to be a great ice cream shop and I have been coming here since I was a kid and before they moved to the new Main Street location. Sad to see management turn this place into a waste of time money and flavor. Trash cans were also unsanitary and overflowing (see pics).
This coffee shop is huge and has spaces to fit any of your group (big or small) needs. It is centrally located in downtown Greenville. The service was quick and the coffee was good.
The baristas are fantastic here. The hot chocolate is wonderful. The dirty chia latte is absolutely heavenly. I highly recommend giving it a try. Great coffee shop atmosphere with relaxed vibes. Clean restrooms.
If you’re wondering, they do have a small offering of pastries to accompany your coffee order. Location was great, a short walk from the hotel. Ample space.
