The coffee SHOP of dreams. Emphasis on shop, because this chic spot is way more than just coffee - with a curated market of goods to browse. I was completely sucked in. Walked out with a handful of goodies + a smile (the folks working were super sweet) and enjoyed a delicious brew at one of their outdoor tables. If only passing through Charleston, definitely go out of your way to stop at Sightsee Shop!

What a wonderfully quaint shop with such beach aesthetics. Friendly greetings and send-off’s, wonderful coffee, and absolutely beautifully curated decor makes this a stop not to miss. Also, killer branding.

Really great high quality coffee in a cute tucked away two-room bungalow. Loved the socal vibes, the colors, and all their brand merch. I'm not a huge coffee enthusiast so the beans themselves were probably a bit lost on me, but my coffee enthusiast friend said his pour over was excellent. Since they do a lot of specialty stuff though the line can take a while, and the place is quite small so it gets cramped quickly. There's only outside seating as well.

I love the laidback surfer vibes of this cosy little coffee joint. Been a fan of their mobile VW bus at events around town and finally got a chance to check out Sightsee’s Shop. Great place with fun graphic tees, longboards, and coffee of course!

We visited Sightsee for the first time for a Sunday morning cafe market event. Oately was sponsoring free oat latte’s and the marketplace was nice. Bokchoy Boy x Lasychef we’re there serving up some delicious Filipino cuisine. I love pour over coffees and I did make a coffee purchase of 1 of 2 coffee beans they have of which tasted like glaze doughnuts. I’ll definitely be coming back for more coffee! They also do have a little Shop towards the back and gives off the vibe of a Cali Skate/Surf shack which I thought was cleanly designed and the employees there were nothing but amazing folks!

Sightsee is truly a bright spot in the Charleston community. Excellent coffee, kind, thoughtful staff, and an atmosphere where all feel welcome. Our most beloved neighborhood spot since the day it opened!
