The first time I visited Charleston back in October 2024 from New York, I was on the hunt for the local cafe (or even a Starbucks). I found The Black Door Cafe while exploring the French Quarter. My first experience here was just what I needed: latte and bottled water on the go.
I recently stayed at The Mills House Hotel while on business in Charleston. And again, on the go, The Black Door Cafe did not disappoint. The staff provided fast and friendly service, vibes were high, while delivering delicious coffee every time!
Thanks Black Door Cafe!

By far one of the best iced Vanilla Lattes I’ve had in this town, smoothest coffee imaginable. Must try a million dollar bar if you stop by! Wonderful ambiance, plenty of seating spread out.
so so

Cute cafe but lowkey a scam. Their menu prices are outdated and everything is several dollars more expensive now. The pastries were ok although the vibes were good. Would not recommend the pecan pastry but the pan au chocolate was decent.
It’s sort of scummy how they purposefully kept menus with much lower prices. So, eh.

I would not choose this place for food but for drinks! Matcha was great and the space itself is very cute to sit down and work or take a break in between exploring DT Charleston.
All the food I ate there was not tasty, unfortunately. Kitchen is not their priority imo. Spent $33 for matcha, pecan swirl and a melted cheese sandwich.
However, the staff was very nice and game my order quickly. There is seating where you can put your laptop and work which is great for inviting your partner for a meeting. Also the building of this cafe is a fancy hotel so all the surroundings and bathrooms are amazing! Same building is a restaurant Iron Rose.
I would come back to work on my laptop and have chai latte!

The Black Door is the coffee shop in the Mills House Hotel. Very good espresso and coffee drinks. They make breakfast sandwiches and have a variety of easy snack type things to go, like powerbars, yogurt ,bananas, etc. They sell individual bottled and canned drinks as well, including beer, water, Gatorade, lemonade and ice tea. Comfortable seating in the Cafe and around the lobby of the hotel...
