While no longer selling coffee to the public from their warehouse, one can purchase roasted beans from Costco, Whole Foods and other local retailers. The roasting facility is not a café.

The coffee here is top notch. I’ve had coffee all over the US, including on a Kona coffee farm, so I think that qualifies me. I am disappointed they don’t carry any straight up Hawaiian coffee, because I think it would help them out. Then again, their owner is very picky about his beans, which is why it’s top notch. Definitely worth buying if you are in the area. This is not a coffee shop per se, it’s a roaster, so they sell whole beans and ground beans, not really drinkable coffee.

We live in Michigan and haven’t seen the new set up. We just know the old Roasters. Bare warehouse but the coffee was fabulous. I can’t wait to get back to Charleston to check out the new digs! Lowell is a great guy — we are happy to see your business grow.

Serious coffee lovers only! It’s not Starbucks. That’s a beautiful thing. The warehouse/sales floor/tasting room is perfect for what the owner intended. Make great coffee from great coffee beans. It’s not about mass producing charcoal tasting dark roast which is a trick lots of roasters use to hide sub-par beans. Charleston Coffee Roasters cares about each and every cup of coffee brewed with their product. They subtly bring out every nuance of the bean with a very attentive small roasting process. Each type of bean needs special attention. Walk in at anytime during business hours and Lowell and Charles will stop what they’re doing in order to learn your palate and cater to it. Have a cup of coffee since they always have an air pot of some fresh fantastic brew and you will see that coffee doesn’t get any better than this. It’s an industrial setting, but it will be a regular stop once you taste the fruit of their labor of love. They also sell those hard to find syrup flavorings as well. I would sleep nights here if I could. Just to wake up on coffee Heaven! Park on front and walk around to the left of the building to enter. Try their signature blend. Its amazing!

You’d hardly know they were there as they’re tucked in a warehouse next to I-26. But once you find them, you’ll be glad you did. While you won’t be able to order a carmel mochiotto and lounge around soaking up free wi-fi for hours on end, you will be able to purchase freshly roasted coffee and enjoy a free cup just for stopping in. They have open house tours about once a month which are worthwile for anyone who likes free coffee.
