What a wonderfully quaint shop with such beach aesthetics. Friendly greetings and send-off’s, wonderful coffee, and absolutely beautifully curated decor makes this a stop not to miss. Also, killer branding.
Sightsee Shop always helps me recover after a night out with a fantastic cup of coffee. All of their drinks are delicious, and getting to pet the neighborhood dogs that stop by is a great bonus!
I love Sightsee! It's in the sweetest neighborhood, the staff is beautiful, and there is no better place to find carefully curated wander-related goods. You will love it.
Specialty coffee lovers - this is the spot for you.The shop is minimalist chic while promoting local artists, roasters, selling high quality to-go cups, and very cool private label merch.The vibe is perfectly curated down to the last tiny detail, but it still feels easy and smooth. Both of the baristas were warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and made excellent cups of coffee.On pour over, we had an anaerobic natural from Rwanda that only got sweeter as it cooled. It was light and fruity.The Colombian espresso was nutty in the front and smooth in the back.I usually can’t stand to drink out of paper, but I totally understand the space constraint of the adorable location. Both coffees stood out over the paper taste and next time I’ll definitely bring or buy my own cup.Make sure you check out their custom made La Marzocco espresso machine - it is truly special.Also worth noting - our VIP tickets to High Water festival were worth it when we saw a Sightsee truck and got a delicious ocean-side espresso on the a sleek white La Marzocco linea mini.
Best coffee in Charleston and I don’t say that lightly after 5 days. We were the first people in the shop in today’s tropical gales & downpours. So worth long walk from midtown to get their Kenya pour over coffee and Columbia darker roast drip. Such a great shop and staff. Perfect space!
Best coffee shop in all of the greater Charleston area. This is the product of two beautiful souls with great taste in style, music, and most importantly coffee. Would give 6 stars if I could.
I am not a regular reviewer but the latte at Sightsee warrants one - honestly one of the best I have ever had - the coffee notes were perfectly balanced by the milk and not overpowered. I have sampled lattes throughout US coffee cities Seattle, Portland, etc.) and this beat them all. Personable staff too!
A delicious coffee shop in a welcoming atmosphere. Great customer service. A must-visit if you're in Charleston. And make sure to try the coffee cake if they have it.
Fantastic coffee, really cool stuff to buy. Owned and operated by a hardworking couple who live ,and are heavily invested, in the neighborhood, as well as the city. Warm, welcoming, laid back vibe. A gem.
Coffee and coffee cake was delicious. Very friendly staff and very helpful with dining suggestions for my first time visit to Charleston.
