I stopped in on a whim, the coffee smelled amazing from the sidewalk. The atmosphere is wonderful, and I imagine it to be even better when they can operate at full capacity. The barrista was very cool, chatted with us casually and made us feel welcomed. I ordered a larger peanut butter mocha, and its was a fantastic coffee! As a tourist the prices were a but high for me, but I assume that these prices are typical for the area after going to a few other stores in the area. I would greatly recommend and if I could stop by every day I would!

Easy ordering, short wait. Decent coffee. The toffee latte was a bit bitter. My white chocolate mocha came as a mocha. Not bad just not what I wanted. Good coffee flavor, nice and hot.

One of the best vanilla chai lattes I’ve had! And the turkey and cheese croissant was delicious. The barista was very friendly and quick! I will definitely be back to City Lights next time in the Charleston area.

Oh my God! This is the first time that I've ever had a milkshake coffee and I guarantee it will be the best thing you have ever had in your life! It is perfect, absolutely perfect! The shop is quaint and sweet, the owner has a fabulous accent (British if I am not mistaken). I am so very sorry and sad to rate this place a four star because unfortunately the pastries weren't as delicious as I hoped they would be. :( However if I ever do come by here again I will give them another go and I will change the rating if it is good!

The mocha frappe was strongly coffee flavored, and the consistency was just right. The shop is super cute, but very, very small. Definitely more of an outing for 1-2 people if you're hoping to sit and chat. Has a classic vibe, like an old southern haunt. Service was quick and the locale was charming.

Great coffee shop right off Meeting St, a block away from the Charleston Market. Real coffee served hot and a appeared to be a favorite of locals and tourists alike. Best coffee I’ve had in Charleston. Lovely barista also recommend Miller’s all day for Sunday brunch and was amazing!

• quaint and physically small establishment
• great casual and mature atmosphere
• quality espresso, average $5 a cup
• cozy bathroom, if you can get to the bathroom door (again, it's a small coffee bar)
I had a beautiful experience, and I loved my iced latte. Relaxing and fun!

Cozy little coffee shop. However, if theres a way they can expand they should! Only one bathroom and not enough seating, but... coffee is really good. We just grabbed ours to go.
Large lattes have 3 espresso shots and pricing is normal.
Service is really nice.
Parking is not easy as this is right off market street.
