You’ll like the location of Downtown Books and Espresso, on Walterboro’s main Street, where you can unwind from your drive browsing through the dozen quirky antiques and collectibles stores.
This coffee/bookstore serves up what you would expect: café au lait, espresso, Americano, cappuccino, latte, mocha latte and frozen latte.
Some purists would faint, but you can add flavored syrups: vanilla, hazelnut, Irish cream, amaretto, almond, cherry, coconut, raspberry, chocolate sauce (brown or white) or caramel, and they even have sugar-free ones: chocolate, caramel, hazelnut and vanilla. They can make any coffee iced, if you so desire.
They buy from a local lowcountry coffee roaster, Island Coffee, who sources his beans from small farms all over the world.
The coffees are USDA, QCS certified organic. For non-coffee drinkers, the tea is Harney & Sons, and is sold hot or freshly brewed iced; there’s chai tea latte – hot or iced – or hot chocolate. You can add a sweet and you can, of course, sit and read a book.
Don’t miss the used book room.
