Besides Bitty and Beau’s amazing story and mission, the coffee and muffins are also worth a stop! Bitty and Beau’s Coffee employs people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. When we stopped in, the employees provided fast service and made a great latte! Highly recommend dropping by to support their mission!
We loved everything about the space. Great staff. Perfectly coffee and treats. And a great staff. They were well organized and friendly and they maintain a crisp and cozy shop Look for us #TheLatteHighway
Highly recommend! Love the mission and employees were very friendly. Amazing coffee! If I lived in this state this would be my go-to coffee shop.
Was looking for a cup of coffee and the cookie shop down the block sent me to Bitty and Beaus. Greeted with a smile, order was prepared fast and loved the coffee. Will definitely go there again next time I visit Charleston
Always nice to see inclusive businesses! We have to get out and support them because this is what our community needs. Prices are very very reasonable and the chocolate muffin I had deserved a chefs kiss! Merch was also very reasonable in price with excellent quality. If I had a Bitty and Beaus in my town Id go daily! I went 2 of the 3 days I was there visiting.
I loved the concept of the cafe so we drove all the way from Sommerville to have a good cup of coffee. The coffee was made with automatic machine just like the one at the airport lounge. The latte tasted like milk. Althought I am not satisfied with coffee, I am glad I visited there just because of the concept and their vision.
This place is awesome. The coffee is excellent, but the real stars here are the people. First, huge shout out to the owners for their incredible mission of providing good jobs and training to those with disabilities. Far too many people overlook the amazing talents, drive and passions in anyone with a disability, so good on you for recognizing them! The employees are awesome! They were friendly, efficient, hard-working and dedicated, and we greatly appreciated the service. This was our first and (for now) only time in Charleston, but if we are back some day, we will return to help support this wonderful cause for society!
Wow this is my first time at Bitty and Beau’s coffee shop I love the food love the merchandise it’s a wonderful place for people with disabilities to work there to see what abilities we have
As someone who works with children with Developmental Disabilities, I had previously hear of Bitty and Beaus Coffee, but ended up stumbling upon it by chance while visiting Charleston. They did not disappoint! Friendly, welcoming staff took our order and the coffee was great. A must when visiting the area! They also had great apparel that my sister and I gladly picked up while in the shop.
Really they dont have a huge selection. They only have 4 frappes, and for some reason they cant do a white mocha with caramel in it. I ended up getting a chocolate mint frappe that wasnt even drinkable. The place waa very nice and clean looking.
The coffee was excellent, the service was great, and the interior was gorgeous. Most importantly, I love what this place stands for! I am so thankful for places like this!
I’m a plain coffee drinker & their iced coffee was top notch. My boyfriend likes frappes and the vanilla was amazing! Perfect amount of coffee & sweetness. The service was excellent, environment was clean & welcoming, and I love the overall mission and what Bitty & Beau’s stands for. Thank you for such an amazing spot!
This is a seriously cool shop in the heart of Charleston. We met the owner, who was kindly teaching her staff to wait on customers, serve coffee, etc. Her mission is to help mentally challenged people have employment. Beyond that, the coffee was good, the service from her help sweet, and we bought a couple of T-shirts with tasteful designs. We loved every bit of it.
Coffee was a little stiff for me but not bad. Absolutely love their goal in who they hire and would definitely be back here when Im in town.
I loved this place and the staff, but half of what was on the menu wasnt available. That said, what I get was amazing. Excellent iced coffee.
Fun little coffee shop that has a pretty cool message. The shop is mostly run by people with disabilities and it is very cool to go and help contribute to that cause. Also, the coffee was great, as was the service. Will definitely be adding it to my list of fun coffee shops to go to in downtown Charleston from now on.
Great food and coffee, great place, and a wonderful mission. Love all around
Great concept and exceptional service. I had an iced latte and did not like it.
Don’t know why this is highly rated. I didn’t have any food but coffee is average to below average. Had both an espresso drink and drip coffee.
Great drinks and a wonderful mission. Love what you do!
Great coffee, wrapped and sealed GF treats, cute swag, and a shop with a great mission. Stop in if youre in town!
Oat milk option and steaming hot coffee.
Great service, and the brown sugar cinnamon latte was good!
To be entirely honest the coffee was only mediocre. An automatic espresso machine was used which takes a lot of the magic of a cafe away. I also felt strange about the branding surrounding the disabled staff. I respect their efforts to include and hire a diverse staff, but my gut feeling was that the workers werent happy and it was as if they were on display. They are people just like us and their existence shouldnt be exploited to make money. Thats how I feel, I could be entirely wrong but that was my gut feeling.
What a wonderful coffee shop! This gets an A+ for flavour, service and aesthetics. We need more of these kind of shops in every community that support an all inclusive attitude! They have also embraced technology with a card or tap pay system only- no cash accepted so just come prepared. Thank you to everyone that greeted us with the biggest smiles. 😀
First time visiting this local coffee shop so I decided to give it a try due to its popularity in the area! I ordered an iced chocolate milano for about $6. I have to say the coffee was really DELICIOUS. The interior design of the place is very neat and I love the creativity in getting a card to keep track of your order. It was a busy day when I came in so I took off one star because tbh it took a really long time just for one coffee with having only about 5-7 orders ahead of me. Other than that, I recommend this local coffee shop!
Very nice place. Great coffee and muffins 😋Wonderful story about the beginning.Parking directly in front of the shop good luck finding a spot.No cash accepted. Card only/mobile pay.
Both our smoothies and coffee are absolutely fantastic. Staff is wonderful, atmosphere is great!
Absolutely perfect. I work on the market and my team and I LOVE treating ourselves to B&B for a morning or afternoon pick me up. Amazing coffee shop, and everyone who works there is incredible. 10 Stars!
My favorite place to get a strawberry and banana smoothie. I think it’s amazing how this place hires their employees with Down syndrome! They are so sweet!
Weak. Conceptually attractive but reality prevails. Incapable of a basic short cappuccino order? Really? 12 oz minimum so I received a poor version of a latte. Do not waste your time nor money.
Such a great concept and excellent coffee to boot.Wound up getting iced coffees and a mug to take home!
Love the concept of this coffee shop. When traveling, it’s always fun to discover places like this. Coffee is good with solid service. The merch makes it fun with a great message.
We visited from Oklahoma because we have 2 special needs children and their buisness employees are special needs people, very clean and organized.
My wife tried a toasted marshmallow late! Fun and good
Such an incredible cafe and the coffee is some of the best Ive had in Charleston
Great place, better people. 😁 Coffee was good too👍
I love this place and Im proud that it is in our community. The coffee is great but their story and how they are providing a way for those with disabilities to earn a living is so much more! If you are in the historic district do yourself a favor and stop by. If you leave without a smile on your face then go immediately to the hospital because something is wrong with your heart.
Great coffee, great vibe, and great community cornerstone! Such a needed and meaningful mission.
Nice coffee shop with very good intentions behind business.
Absolutely love the concept. All the employees are amazing! Also have really good drinks haha
Amazing concept! Been wanting to visit for a while now.Brown sugar cinnamon makes a great flavor addition to any of the coffees!
Such a cute coffee shop, the cookies and cream frappe was so good!
While I totally support the cause and love the idea of supporting those with disabilities, the quality of coffee here is just not up to par. My husband and I got cappuccinos which tasted burnt and watery. Plenty of better places downtown for a really good coffee.
I have the Cotton candy frappe and they severed it quickly and perfect. PERFECT SERVICE!
My mom and I had the best lemon cranberry muffin! Unexpected and delicious lemon curd in the middle. Christian was friendly and took our order. We enjoyed talking to him!
I ordered a cappuccino and I could hardly taste any coffee in it. Disappointed!!
What a great idea for a coffee shop. Great tasting drinks and friendly service!
Great coffee and great staff!
A wonderful and speedy experience at Bitty & Beau’s! The staff was friendly and helpful, welcoming us to our first stop after arriving in Charleston. The coffee was good and the apple cinnamon muffin was very moist and yummy. So much cool merchandise available to buy and such an excellent premise. Go here!
Cute little coffee shop. Great service and delicious coffee. Its a must!
This was the best coffee shop I have ever visited. It was clean, inviting, and the workers were so accommodating and FRIENDLY. Christian was a rockstar at the register and Sam gave us our orders with a big smile on his face. He even came over and gave us a hug! They both talked to us as if we were old friends and were so happy to be working! The joy you feel stepping foot inside will have you coming back again and again. I got the Java Chip Frappe and I was sad when it was gone. My friend got an iced vanilla chai and said it was the best one she has ever had. If you haven’t visited this place, MAKE IT HAPPEN ASAP. You will not be disappointed. Stop by and say hey to Sam and Christian! They will make your day! See Sam below giving a thumbs up! #notbroken
There are 3 certainties in life death, taxes, and leaving Bitty & Beau’s happier than you were when you came in.Bitty & Beau’s is undoubtably my favorite coffee shop in Charleston... nay favorite coffee shop on planet earth. The coffee is fresh and flavorful.The customer service is what really puts them in a different category. The staff is unparalleled. They always offer above and beyond service that is guaranteed to brighten your day. They really work hard to make sure you receive everything you’re wanting and that your satisfied. The people are definitely a better pick me up than caffeine could ever be.
Really liked this place, great message and mission. Great coffee, very good muffins.
Delicious baked goods and beverages! Wonderful service and ambiance. Perfect location. Bought a great #notbroken hat. Love the mission and that this shop is operated by individuals with development disabilities. A must visit!
Its great to support the concept, but the coffee is just not that good. One star if not for their being an establishment that supports special needs individuals.
I did not get anything from here its just next to this cool candle shop that yall should go to, they teach you how to make your own candles
Excellent coffee and fantastic service!
I absolutely love the concept and service we received at Bitty and Beau’s. We had the pumpkin spice latte which was very delicious and not overly sweet. I would definitely recommend this place and will go again.
Not only was the coffee fantastic, but the service was amazing. Every single employee was so friendly and outgoing. Would love to go back next time I am in town.
Love the coffee, love the concept, love the place!!
Great service and yummy lattes!
Best hot chocolate that Ive had in some time. Toasted marshmallow is a nice addition.
Great coffee, super service and a wonderful cause. If in Charleston be sure to stop in for some great coffee and happy faces.
Fabulous coffee and really lovely staff. Also includes a great selection of plant milks for vegans. Highly recommended.
Espresso needs severe improvement. Nice shop, atmosphere but the location seems more geared to tourists and la k comfort that goes with a community coffee/Espresso bar
Outstanding hot chocolate with carmel and whipped cream.
Loved this cute little place. We had no idea they were ran by special needs. They were fantastic. Extremely nice. Coffee was exceptional. Will go again and would highly recommend! Wish there was one close to home!
We waited in line for 15-20 minutes. there were 2 customers left in line at 5 (when they closed) and kicked us out. we were there before they closed but left empty handed. they also took forever to take customers orders. also, they weren’t friendly when they notified us they weren’t going to take our order.
The greatest little place. I love visiting anytime I can. Even without the beautiful story its a darn good coffee shop. But the experience is certainly made better by the wonderful staff. A must visit if you are in Charleston!
The coffee and service were both fine. Tasty blueberry muffin, cute little shop. Everything was clean. We were asked if our order was for here or to go. We said for here but our coffee was served in disposable cups and the muffin in a paper bag, so I’m unsure why we were asked. Seating isn’t plentiful or comfortable. There also isn’t a public bathroom, so it doesn’t seem like they want people to hang around for a while.
