Clockwise Coffee
81 Charleston Hwy, Hilton Head, SC
Crema's Take
“Clockwise Coffee is a charming roadside gem that's become a beloved pit stop for travelers between Hilton Head and Charleston, earning its nickname "Highway Hospitality" from loyal regulars who visit twice yearly. Their cold brew—particularly the smooth, low-acid Kyoto style—and house-made frappes showcase real quality coffee craftsmanship, while the attached pastry shop and local cider company create an unexpectedly lovely experience that feels more like discovering a friend's favorite spot than a typical coffee stand. The friendly staff and reasonable prices make it easy to understand why visitors rave about this place as both a quick grab and a destination worth lingering in.”

Just stopped for a caramel frappe. It’s AMAZING! I love a good frappe. But this is a REAL frappe. Amazing taste, I can tell they’re using good coffee. 10/10 😃
Wao!!! We stop at Clockwise Coffee and Carolina Cider twice a year on our way to Charleston to spend time with our families. Over the years, we’ve given them the nickname “Highway Hospitality” — because that’s exactly what they deliver, every single time. This review isn’t just about giving them five stars; it’s about recognizing their consistent hospitality. Year after year, they welcome travelers and tourists with kindness, warmth, and the kind of service that deserves more than a simple thank you — they truly deserve a Nobel Prize for hospitality! A special shout-out to Madi and Ashlyn, who once again created artistic barista magic for us. Thank you for making each visit memorable and for taking such good care of those who pass through.
The Kyoto cold brew is wonderful, low acid. And their chai is delicious perfectly balanced. The staff is very friendly too.
Fantastic place on side of the road for a coffee! Found it while driving from Hilton Head to Charleston. Place is unique and lovely, attached to a local store that has pastries, local honey, jams and other things. Coffee was really good. Loved it!
This is the cutest place! Prices reasonable although they need additional sugar free syrups 😛 housed in the same building as the cider company both are amazing.
