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 Their menu prices are outdated and everything is several dollars more expensive now.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.

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...

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!

When you pay almost 20$ for an iced brewed coffee and a chocolate brownie you expect something awesome served with a smile and special attention. The coffee from most fast foods are equal or better, the brownie was very good but if the staff could of thrown it at us instead, that could of put a smile on their faces. When you go into a nice hotel you expect wonderful happy employees. I guess the owners of the hotel are not the same of the cafe?

I was on a girls trip with my elementary/high school friends and we stayed at The Mills House. It was absolutely beautiful! The atmosphere, amenities, pool and staff were all A+. I went to The Black Door cafe every day to get my coffee and the staff was amazing. They went above and beyond to make me feel special - especially Akaria, Fufu and Nef. They were all so sweet, kind, courteous and provided fast, friendly service with a happy, positive vibe. I follow a low carb diet and was so happy that they had sugar free vanilla syrup and heavy whipping cream. I was on vacation, so I splurged with my friends and we shared the chocolate croissant and the chicken biscuit. Both were DELICIOUS! I would go back to Mills House again if I make it back to Charleston and I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering it!
