Reviews for Essentials Coffee in Moncks Corner, SC

I needed a delicious breakfast this morning, and for the first time found this place on Ubereats. I was so excited, as I love... good coffee and it's even better when someone brings it to me! I usually just drink plain black coffee but I like a Flat White,and theirs is excellent. I never add syrup or sweetener but the Flavor choice was required and I felt fancy today anyway, so Itried their housemade Brown Sugar Cinnamon flavor and it was delicious. Very sweet to me, I will note to use just half thenormal amount next time, but it was a tasty treat and got my morning started right. In my typical "One of Everything" style oftrying new places, I overordered. I got the Everything Breakfast Bagel Sandwich with added bacon, and it was HUGE and filling!Fresh, fluffy scrambled eggs, wilted spinach (intentionally, not like old spinach), a nice slice of tomato, and a thick schmearof delectable garlic herb cream cheese. Honestly it didn't need the bacon, which was super-thin sliced, so save your $2.50 forsomething else. This sandwich was so hearty I could only finish half. But now that I have cleaned house, I am ready for theother half, and talking about it is making my mouth water! I ordered the Ham and Swiss Croissant but my driver called and saidthey had to switch to turkey and Swiss. I sighed and said, "I'll live." and he said, "I figured you would." LOL Anyway it issuper-flaky and smelled incredible but I haven't actually tried it yet. From all appearances it is going to be light, crisp,flaky, and again quite filling. It could only be better if it was ham. Apparently that's a bestseller there. Gotta get up prettyearly to get that one! This was a delightful way to start my day, and now I'm going to finish my bagel!

Coffee is very good. Ordered the grilled cheese which would be delicious if they hadn't poured salt all over the bread. Cheese... is already salty, no more extra salt should be needed tbh Read more

A cozy little spot to get a morning coffee. The environment inside is welcoming and well decorated. The prices are fair and the... coffee tastes great! Read more

I've really enjoyed adding EC to my morning routine. Most of the staff is very warm with great southern hospitality and the food... is great and more than reasonably priced. However, this is NOT a place you go if you're in a rush. Each time I've gone, I'vealways waited too long for simple coffee's even when the shop is almost empty. They do offer text-to-order service that I usedfor the first time (which, I understand can contribute to the volume even if the shop is empty) but even then, my simple orderwasn't started until after I got there and paid for it. This room for opportunity doesn't impact my assessment of their greathospitality and quality, I just will probably not be visiting during the work week anymore. Read more

Just went here for the first time we were only 1 of 2 people in line I ordered a smoothie after my order a few people walked in... and I waited nearly 20 minutes for my drink while every other person received their order first after I asked about my smoothieI was told they were working on it just to be disappointed by the most generic smoothie ever don't waste your time here. Edit: Iunderstand that it was the first day of elementary school but that doesn't excuse serving 6 customers that walked in 10 minutesafter my order was placed before my order is even started Read more

The Turkey and Cheese croissant loaded with the avocado and tomato onion jam was delicious!! The coffee is typical coffee shop... quality - but it is very conveniently located. Definitely get the rewards punch card to earn a free drink! Read more

I usually do not post reviews, but this place is awesome! The atmosphere is relaxed and a perfect place to get work done. The... baristas are fast, very positive, and lovely people. I ordered a curbside pickup order and the response time was withinminutes. I forgot to mention no whipped cream with my non-dairy latte, but they were already on it! Thank you! Read more
