I love this place. I ordered the harbinger sandwich (phenomenal) and the turmeric dirty chai latte. There was a slight mishap with the latte, but Hannah and the team were super kind and re-made it for no extra cost. The vibes inside are very cozy, the bathroom is immaculately clean, and the WiFi is fast. (I will warn that they play music pretty loudly in here. If you prefer to work in silence, you may want to go elsewhere) Good place to get some work done and enjoy the surroundings.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I’ve been going to Harbinger for 6 years, and can today say I had the best meal in Charleston here. While my partner and I regularly walk over for a chai or pastry, today we got the Brussel Caesar, Carrot Salad, Winter Caprese Sandwich & Spice Girl. To say it’s better than a dinner we had the night before (at a new Michelin star) is honestly an understatement. Every single flavor was perfect, our lattes were impeccably balanced, and the festive decor created the ultimate cozy vibe. I hope the amazing gals working behind the coffee counter & chef station get a well earned holiday thanks for the magic they make here every day.

I love the Harbinger because their cold brew gets me ZOOTED. My favorite treat is the Cha Cha Cha Chia, dense but soft and chewy bar with yummy frosting. I like trying their lunch trios. They change the lunch often and keep it interesting. The atmosphere is welcoming and I like their seating outside in the back. Parking is tricky in this area but always worth it. It’s a short walk from Habitat for Humanity, so it’s nice to grab a coffee and go thrift shopping!
