Black Magic Cafe - Charleston

Absolutely phenomenal experience. I've been living on foolishness for over a year and finally managed to get it here. they have the best coffee on the island, oh and smoothies, there is also an espresso bar, but if nothing is for them, they get the **** mary and call it a day. ask for connecticut when they come to the host booth. they will be with andrea (who is from connecticut) and it is all downhill from there. be cool, be cool, tip high, stay blessed. “Mic drop”....” crowd goes wild

We stopped here for coffee and to get breakfast to go. The lady behind the bar was not friendly. She took all of our coffee orders and we assumed she would then take our food orders, but she walked away. She then made all our coffee orders instead of getting our food orders so we wouldn't be waiting on that. By the time she was finished with all of our coffee we decided not to order food because we didn't want to wait forever for our food. They missed out on money bc apparently she hadn't been to sleep the night before and wasn't on her A-game. She also was talking to another waitress about the sludge that was in the main coffee pot they were serving to the other guests eating there. I wouldn't go there again if I was starving.

Sweet brunch spot on James Island. I enjoyed the options and fresh ingredients. Closes early then again all of the Charleston/Folly area closes by 9. Early risers will enjoy an eclectic menu and atmosphere. Cool merch and don't skimp on the pimento cheese! I suggest this Carolina gold on anything!

Very disappointed, chicken salad was like a paste. No chunk chicken with grapes and pecans. Grits were not creamy like usual, dry. Waitress never came back and refilled drinks and kept looking at her watch. Overall service was subpar. Will not come back again till they get better wait staff and better cooks. Have always enjoyed this place in the past.

Nice beachy vibe and cute outdoor area. This is a good option for a light breakfast or lunch on your way to Folly. I got the Southwestern salad with chipotle cream. It was good, not great. The grilled pineapple was really the best part. I also tried the seasonal cocktail, the blood orange mule. It was VERY sweet. Think Tang. Overall, it's a nice restaurant with lots of options. There's pretty much something for everyone.
