Where to Find the Coziest Coffeehouses & Cocoa Spots

The Village Grind

Stop by The Village Grind, where house made syrups make seasonal drinks extra special.

Coffee Underground

Coffee Underground is a staple in the community, residing in Greenville since 1995. Warm up with their signature flavored lattes, mochas, or hot chocolates—our picks are the Snow Fox Latte or Baby Turtle Hot Chocolate! While they serve coffee by day, they also serve beer, wine, and cocktails by night during stand-up comedy shows and slam poetry nights at their underground theater, Alchemy Comedy Theater.

Local Honey Coffee Company

Tucked along the Reedy River sits Local Honey Coffee Co., a Downtown coffee spot with a warm ambiance and a menu full of unique takes on classic coffees. Go for something different like a Sesame Latte or seasonal matcha, and pair it with their must-try Hotcakes. With views of the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail Network and the Eugenia Duke Bridge, this scenic area is a great stop while exploring Downtown.

Grateful Brew

Grateful Brew is a community centered coffeehouse-meets-brewery that creates a cozy, relaxed space for guests. From competitive trivia nights to weekly food truck pop-ups, it's made for gathering with friends, whether you're looking for a craft beer or a seasonal latte. Try a Gingerbread Latte or a specialty dark brewed beer at their annual events, including a winter solstice celebration or chili competition.

Barista Alley Cafe & Roastery

Bringing life to a historic bank building, Barista Alley Cafe & Roastery offers a warm and welcoming space from the moment you walk in. They specialize in small batch roasting, signature coffee, and delicious crepes, so you can expect cozy treats ranging from an Apple Chai Donut Crepe to an eggnog-inspired latte.

Tandem Crêperie and Coffeehouse

When winter hits and you're looking for all things warm and cozy, look no further than a seasonal latte paired with the sweet & savory crepes at Tandem Crêperie and Coffeehouse in Travelers Rest. Their rotating menu also includes seasonal-inspired waffles, which means you can enjoy both a Gingerbread Latte and a Gingerbread Waffle.

Methodical Coffee

Methodical Coffee has multiple locations, and all are known for their warm atmospheres and craft coffee. Branch out from their coffee menu and try a rich Hot Cocoa (with either peppermint or Tres Leches syrup), and you've got a winter-inspired cocoa to warm you from the inside. Pro tip: snag an AM Bun, a ridiculously tasty pastry that's a local favorite.

Urbana Churro Cafe

Life is better with churros—and an authentic Mexican or Spanish-style Hot Chocolate from Urbana Churro Cafe. Of course, a visit here isn't complete without some of their signature churros, but you can also find a full brunch menu with savory options to warm up like pozole or chilaquiles.
