Crema's Take

Highfalutin Coffee Roasters is a plant-filled gem in Charleston's Avondale neighborhood where serious espresso work meets genuine warmth—locals camp out here for the thoughtfully crafted pours, creative signature drinks like their cinnamon-forward pecan pie latte, and a team that actually cares enough to remake your order. The lush patio and cozy interior make it equally perfect for a solo work session with your laptop or a lingering conversation with friends, all while sipping coffee that feels like it was made with real intention.

This coffee shop and Blum in downtown are my 2 absolute favorite coffee shops of all time. I am really drawn to the outside.Nice patio area both have and just the plants obviously both have all around. I love when coffee shops have plants inside the interior area. the quiche is really good, and the coffee is really, really good as well and the service is friendly. i've made it a routine to come here and then also frequent the other one in downtown because they're only fifteen minutes away from each other.. Like this, I don't get bored. The blueberry muffin here is the lish as well. My friends and I will definitely be returning

Very quaint place. Good coffee - hubby got pecan pie latte (alot of cinnamon flavor, not extremely sweet, good) and i got a hot matcha latte (very slightly sweetened at my request, fresh ground matcha leaves, not bitter at all). Cost comparable to most any other place ($14 & some change). Cool outside area but it was raining so couldn't enjoy it. Definitely a place to return to for coffee & food (menu was small but looked delicious).

Very cute place in Avondale! Plants everywhere and is decorated nicely. The girl at the counter was very nice and remade a coffee for my friend when she wanted it hot instead of iced. They make a tasty lavender honey latte if you are into lavender! My husband coffee thought I felt tasted a bit bland or perhaps watery. We just prefer our coffee to be stronger and more flavorful. I would come back to try their other specialty coffees and snacks. Very laid back vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. It’s also in a great location with lots of places in walking distance. Parking was a bit challenging and you can’t necessarily turn left into it so you have to make a loop around to find some street parking.
