LaRue At The Commons
147 Welborn St, Greenville, SC
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in The Commons, this gem pairs artisanal chocolates with an impressive selection of wines and spirits, offering curated tasting experiences that feel more like a special occasion than a casual coffee run. The team—particularly Betsy and Stella—creates a genuinely warm atmosphere where you're treated like a friend rather than a customer, and their handcrafted drinks are as thoughtfully made as the beautiful chocolates they showcase. It's the kind of place that transforms an ordinary afternoon into something memorable, whether you're settling in with a specialty drink or treating yourself to a chocolate and bourbon pairing.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Stopped in for dessert while in the area. They have many awards for their chocolate, and I can see why! Very nice assortment and flavors to try. They have a variety/sample tray you can pick. I definitely recommend that for starters. Fantastic service and conversation really made…
