Amanda ChangurisSeptember 6, 2014Popped in while I was in town for the day on business. Great coffee and a very kind staff. Perfect coffee shop atmosphere.
Wayne AndermanFebruary 9, 2019Superior beans. Carolina grown. World class roasts. A best espresso bean cappuccino or macchiato rated w/ best Vienna, San Francisco Paris has to offer. Top baristas - fun bohemian little gem.
Anna WiederkehrOctober 28, 2015Actually a really cute and quite spot. Owner is hilarious and their pastries (though annoyingly plastic wrapped) are excellent
AbDecember 27, 2014Great place to work while you sip a capp. Have a cookie. The wood throughout makes the place feel warm and familiar. I'll be back
Rick AlexanderSeptember 30, 2019I had a caramel macchiato which was delicious! My wife had A ice chai tea which was delicious! This place is a true coffee shop with a Southern charm.
Erin CartwrightMay 16, 2016Love City Lights. Some of the best coffee in Charleston, and the nicest people work here. Definitely make a stop in for some French Press!

Peter RuddellNovember 11, 2013Great coffee shop. Clearly a locals favorite. Charming, colonial-inspired furniture.
Alex ParkerMarch 2, 2012One of the best local coffee shops in Charleston. If you like them, they have a great dirty chai
Great coffee, friendly staff. What more could you ask for?
Don't go anywhere else for Coffee in Charleston. This is the BEST by FAR!
Jenna KampschaeferAugust 12, 2013It takes a few mins for the quiche to be warmed up but it's very good!
Larry CollettMay 15, 2010For a good cup of French roast coffee, stop into City Lights Coffee on Market Street; unbelievable coffee.
Don't listen to what Gregg says. He is definitely from Georgia.
