Word on the street
What locals are saying
Peter Washington opened this café as a homecoming project rooted in five generations of family history in Mount Pleasant — and that intent saturates every corner of the space. The layout splits neatly between a traditional coffee bar and a lounge side built for lingering, with art on the walls and baked goods pulled from family suppliers: sweet potato pie and Charleston chewies from Bert & T's Desserts and From Scratch CHS, nieces and nephews behind the bar. Early visitors flag the owner's hospitality as the defining quality, and the café sits in deliberate counterpoint to the rapid development remaking McKnight Road around it.
