Deeply Rooted: How We Grow Together
At Sweet Palm Coffee, we believe that a coffee shop is more than just a place to grab a caffeine fix—it is the heartbeat of a neighborhood. Since opening our doors at 471 King Street, we have dedicated ourselves to being a true "third place" for Charleston: a space between home and work where community, creativity, and commerce intersect. Our commitment to the Lowcountry goes beyond serving the perfect latte; it is built on a foundation of supporting local businesses, uplifting our neighbors, and nurturing the vibrant ecosystem of the Upper King Street district.
We support businesses like 10 WestEdge and its residents
Our support for the local economy starts right in the cup. We understand that Charleston has a rich culinary history, and we strive to honor that by partnering with local roasters and ethical importers who share our dedication to quality and sustainability. By sourcing beans and ingredients from within our region whenever possible, we reduce our carbon footprint and ensure that the money you spend here stays here, circulating back into the hands of South Carolina artisans and entrepreneurs.
We are proud to serve the diverse communities of Radcliffeborough, Wraggborough, Harleston Village, and the French Quarter. We see ourselves as a anchor for these historic neighborhoods, providing a welcoming space that adapts to the rhythm of the city.

For the Night Owls: By keeping our doors open late on weekends with our unique late-night menu, we support the vibrant nightlife economy of King Street, offering a safe and high-quality alternative to fast food for locals and visitors alike.
Small businesses thrive when they support one another. We view ourselves as part of a collective team on King Street, referring our customers to neighboring boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. When you visit Sweet Palm, you aren't just visiting a solitary shop; you are entering a network of local support. We regularly collaborate with local organizations and offer our space as a gathering ground for community meetings and events, ensuring that as we grow, our neighbors grow with us.
