The Kingstide - Daniel Island

Nice spot but pricey. I tried the berry smoothie (upon recommendation) the flavor was OK but very watered down since they used abt 30% water, 30% ice then a small frozen cup of everything else. Thought that was strange so asked abt the amount of water/ice they said it was for aeration whatever that means. The smoothie tasted very watered down/weak and I was hungry very shortly thereafter. I drink smoothies almost every day and can tell you this was a complete waste of my $12. I would never get a smoothie there again.

Coffee is good, tea and pastries. In my opinion, it is overpriced and they have over charged me and members of my family multiple times. Since they don’t give you a receipt or ask if you would like to have it, it’s hard to notice, until you stop and think why you paid $15 for a coffee (and I don’t mind if it happened once but it has happened several times not only to me but also to my family and friends). Staff needs more training in customer service, sometimes they’re not friendly or welcoming, specially the girls I’ve seen working at the register and making the coffee. I have tried most of the food and it’s not as good as to come back all the time. Coffee is comparable to Starbucks and prices are same if not higher (they also charge $1.15 to add plant based milk to your macchiato) , it’s convenient if you live on the island.

I think the Dime is a littttttle overrated although I should preface that I am gluten free, and they dont offer many GF options for breakfast. The coffees are pretty pricey too. I do love that they sell products from local companies and their outdoor space is very cute.Also important to note they dont accept apple pay, so after taking a run and stopping in for some coffee, I had to call my husband to drive over to pay with a card.

Best pizza on Daniel Island! Also, the espresso is very good.

Great coffee and food. Great spot for breakfast and enjoying the river front trail.
