What locals are saying
Lodi Coffee is a locally owned drive-thru chain with a loyal Mt. Pleasant following, known for creative, endlessly varied specialty drinks and fast, friendly service. The biggest recurring complaint is that drinks run extremely sweet — multiple reviewers note they're 'insanely sweet even when ordered half-sweet' — making it a better fit for dessert-leaning coffee drinkers than purists. Food items (burritos, pastries) draw mixed reactions, with some finding them overpriced and underwhelming relative to the drinks.

The Fruity Pebbles latte and Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew are the two drinks that keep pulling people back — the all-natural, house-made syrups and cold foams are the consistent differentiator people point to. Charleston food creators have made this their stated go-to drive-thru off Hwy 17, singling out the ceremonial-grade matcha and keto-friendly sweet cream options as unexpected standouts for a drive-thru format.
