Is your perception that everyone on the Grand Strand is drinking microbrews only? You’re only half right.
Myrtle Beach has a nifty independent coffee community there, too. It’s a “perk” of being on the Grand Strand. This coffee trail will take you to some of the most popular spots in town for a cup of java.
Start early, and make one or two cups of decaf!
Sometimes, you want your java in your pajamas. A Starbucks on-site at Bay View Resort is just the thing.
WHAT’S GOOD: Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino and the like are the norms. Order an iced coffee for a warm morning. Customer service is top-notch here. The closest coffee stop might be closer than you think!
TRY THIS: Teavana® London Fog Tea Latte. Get the bright, citrusy boost with Italian bergamot mixes. It’s a frothy version of the traditional Earl Grey.
There’s a lot more deliciousness brewing than just coffee!
WHAT’S GOOD: Breakfast and brunch! There are so many delicious items in this family-oriented restaurant, including an outstanding quiche. Pack up some pastries from here for the ride home, no matter how long or short.
TRY THIS: The Two Eggs to Order comes with a fresh-baked croissant (their specialty). Plus, grits or cheesy hash browns.
Coffee. The boardwalk. What’s not to love?
WHAT’S GOOD: Try remote work with a twist. Bring your laptop to the Boardwalk for excellent service and phenomenal coffee. They bring a subtle-but-present Christian vibe and a staff that will welcome you.
TRY THIS: The Royal Moose Frappe is top-of-the-list, but if you’re looking for something a touch less sweet, try the latte.
Get your quota of local music and global coffee right here.
WHAT’S GOOD: The atmosphere is comfortable and pleasant. Open mic Thursdays are an incredible experience: top talent, original songs, and a friendly crowd. You can buy art from local artists, too. Stop by here, for sure.
TRY THIS: The caramel latte. Baristas here are of expert level. It’s such a welcoming place that you’ll want to stick around for a while.
Come for coffee. Leave with personal care products made from scratch.
WHAT’S GOOD: It’s home to your inner hippie. Add to it skilled baristas and a crowd of new friends, and you’ve got a new beach hangout. The personal care items they carry are handmade by their staff and owner.
TRY THIS: The Feature Coffee, a different in-house roast every day. The Chai Tea Latte is an unforgettable non-coffee drink to try. Add an apple turnover!
It’s a great feel-at-home place while you’re on vacation.
WHAT’S GOOD: Service and efficiency. Even if you go for breakfast or lunch, you have to check out the desserts. Ice cream is made fresh daily in-house. It’s an adorable stop, with Sinatra overhead and yummy food.
TRY THIS: A croissant (heavenly) and a frappe. Enjoy your treats outside, and take a muffin or two to share. And of course, gelato!
Spread the word: there’s an excellent coffee stand in Murrells Inlet you’ve got to stop by.
WHAT’S GOOD: The coffee, of course, but the view of the inlet and the friendly folks make for the most pleasant experience. Grab a cup of mocha and watch the goats on goat island. You’ll find yourself here again and again.
TRY THIS: A simple cup of dark roast is so flavorful, you’ll enjoy every sip. It can turn non-coffee drinkers into believers!
