Black Magic Cafe

Absolutely phenomenal experience. I’ve lived on folly for over a year now and finally made it here. They have the best coffee on the island, oh and smoothies, there’s also an espresso bar, but if none of that is for you, get the Bloody Mary and call it a day. Ask for Connecticut when you get to the host stand. They will seat you with Andrea (who’s from Connecticut) and it’s all down hill from there. Be chill, be cool, tip high, stay blessed. “Mic drop”….”Crowd goes wild”

Happy accident! That’s what Black Magic Cafe was for me. After my wife and I had attempted to go to a cafe down the street, only to find out it was closed in arrival, my wife Google searched and found Black Magic Cafe and it did not disappoint! Much better vibe! The food was amazeballs! The grits!! Highly recommend 👌🏻 - definitely will make this a stop the next time we’re in town from Ohio. Don’t forget to shop small and buy some of their cool merch! We picked up a sweet coffee mug to add to our collection back home!

You can never go wrong with breakfast at Black Magic Cafe! I had the seasonal lavender lemonade mimosa and it was perfect! My husband wanted a bloody mary but they don't serve hard liquor until 10 am. Not a big deal, just something to note. We both got the standard egg breakfast. Everything came out quick and hot! We always look forward to stopping here when we are in town.

The pictures don't do this place justice. It is WAY BETTER in real life! The ambiance is amazing and the signs encompassing the walls keep your eyes entertained the entire time! The Lattes and Chai Teas put the best coffee shops to shame! And each breakfast plate we had was delivered with picturesque platting. Every bite was savory and delicious. And the coffee mugs! omg, the coffee mugs (or latte mug in my case) is HUGE! This is seriously one of the best breakfast places I've eaten at during this Spring Break trip.

Wow. This place has such a cool vibe. Food was delicious, definitely liked the grits. French toast was amazing. I had the peanut butter honey latte, best coffe drink I have ever had.We did wait a long time for our food after we ordered, but server did tell us it was going to be a bit. Also went during busiest time. We will be returning for sure.

Wonderful breakfast! I had the lox and hubby had a dish that resembled a garbage bowl filled with all types of meat (he loved it). Only complaining if 2 things. The young hostess with the tattoos and pierced face. Holy Cow, would it kill her if she smiled and said Good Morning?! What a first impression! Second, those metal chairs - very bad choice for a restaurant. My behind (average size) didn't fit comfortably. So pick a booth like we did. Bon Appetit 🍳

Have been to the West Ashley location and it was a great experience. Came to James Island and still was great but I do not advise you go on Saturday or Sunday morning because it is so slow!! It took like an hour just to get food. 30 minutes for a latte. I have severe allergies and they did a great job accommodating that. The portion sizes are good and the atmosphere is good. The servers have always been attentative and friendly.

Black Magic Cafe is a cute spot to grab a bite. Really colorful and inviting. It's pet friendly, which is completely awesome. I don't know about lizards or birds but definitely dogs. The parking is a little on the tight side if they get busy but don't let that discourage you. Food was decent but not great. Drinks, however, were fantastic. I was in town for a mini vacation and noticed there was at least 1 other location so I'm sure they're all about the same. I'd probably return if I was in town again and maybe sit inside next time instead of the patio.

We came and hour before close. While we enjoyed our food it was pretty standard. The name is more exciting than the overall look. Standard menu items but solid execution. Nothing I'd have to go back for specifically, but would definitely go back. It was a comfortable environment. Unfortunately it took more than 30mins to get our food and we got very little service, not bad service, just not much of it. I assume it's short staffing so I'm not really going to complain. I was thankful for good food, friendly faces, air conditioning and cold water. Fair prices. Definitely give it a try.
