C3 Coffee Bar
1701 Church St, Conway, SC
Crema's Take
“C3 Coffee Bar is a community-minded Conway spot that nails the cozy, modern aesthetic with friendly staff and a genuine mission that goes beyond just serving coffee. While their specialty drinks like the Druft Late can skew a bit milky for purists, the real draw is the welcoming atmosphere—think comfortable couches and good natural light—that works equally well for a quick drive-thru grab, a solo work session, or lingering over conversation with friends. The solid pastry selection and convenient parking make it an easy local favorite for anyone seeking a coffee experience rooted in connection rather than pretension.”

Really neat spot with friendly staff and cool vibes and mission. Unfortunately, the Decaf coffee (they gave me an Americano) was not great and tasted a little burnt. The muffin was solid.
This beautiful local spot has a modern sitting area, perfect for quick meetups with friends! The "Druft Late" was a bit too milky and vanilla-y for my liking, not much coffee flavor. Next time, I'll ask for an extra espresso shot! Otherwise, it is not worth it.
Great place to stop for a “specialty” coffee, and good treats! This place is located with a drive thru and tons of available parking. They have a cute indoor seating area with cozy couches and regular tables, with outlets. Awesome place to study or catch up with friends. The staff is super friendly and will help with any ordering or recommendations. The coffee is flavorful and the salted caramel latte is delicious! They even had seasonal flavors for the coffees. It’s a great alternative to other coffee shops and is nice to support local. We will be back!
This is such a great spot for coffee, refreshments and relaxation. Everything is delicious and the service is fast and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The menu offers everything you’d expect from a coffee shop. When I’ve been there, there are folks enjoying their food and beverage, meetings going on, people playing board games, and groups just socializing. There are places where you can sit alone at a bar type area and comfy places for groups with couches and chairs grouped together. They also have a meeting room that can be booked for showers and larger meetings. This is a delightful place in Conway and I definitely recommend it.
Coffee, community, conversation. In 2016 the first of C3 Coffee Bars opened its doors with a passion for coffee, a purpose to serve the community and a powerful conversation that “People Matter To God.” Owned and operated by The Rock Church, 100% of the profit and donations are used to help, minister and meet the needs of the community. C3 partners with Balzac Brothers Coffee in Charleston, SC to import the highest grade, farm direct specialty coffee that uses no slave labor and prices are set by the producers. Large open seating area inside with counter ordering, picnic tables outside and drive thru. Metal stools and chairs, cement floors and black ceiling tiles mingles industrial look with a more stylish flair of leather sofas and upholstery chairs. Something feels amiss with muted TVs turned to sports channels and no worship or coffee house music. Simple paper menu on the counter offers a variety of coffee and a display box has two breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, bagels, cookies, muffins and other baked goods to choose from. A large chalkboard behind the counter remains empty but could be better utilized for those unfamiliar with their menu giving them more time and not feeling rushed. Staff were personable as they did their job but offered little interaction with customers. Our bacon breakfast croissant was hot, tasty and filled with a good amount of bacon and the cinnamon roll a real sweet treat. My wife had nothing but praise for her black coffee with cream, especially in comparison to the coffee shop chains she frequents. Overall experience was good and being ones that love to support and shop local we will be back.
