Perfect blend of bustling coffee house and southern hospitality.An emphasis throughout on local community and in time, this could come to anchor downtown Simpsonville. You hope a place like this sticks around for a long time.Real mugs and plates on request... Id like to see these become the default, in keeping with other sustainable touches, but apparently most people prefer drinking premium coffee out of paper cups. (To-Go seems like the right call at a coffee place... but almost everyone I saw go in here sat and stayed!)Also, I felt a welcomed departure from the skeleton crews Ive faced recently at other places. The 3 people working in this small shop made Little Ol Me feel pretty special for a few minutes and I was encouraged to order an off menu breakfast sandwich... egg and cheese on a fresh croissant.We sat outside where there was plenty of room to spread out. I havent seen it in action, but looks like theyve got a good setup if they wanted to host a small concert one day.
I have made two trips now to try and use a gift card but both times they were closed, and I triple checked their hours posted on instagram both times, they should have been open both times, so I’m very confused. They also do not respond to messages on instagram. Very annoyed to have wasted my time twice.
I am so happy that they have coffee flights here! It’s a great way to try different coffees. The creme brulee drink is delicious!
Drove by this cute coffee shop & decided to stop by and instantly felt very unwelcoming. The customer service was very poor & didn’t seem interested In helping me at all. The customers did not seem very happy with my presence either. It felt very awkward and I am not pleased with the service here and will not recommend anyone I know here. I do not like to make things about race but it definitely felt like we were in the early 1900’s, and I will leave it at that. Take what you want with this Information.
We had a great experience here and can’t wait to visit again! The owners are very friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. There is a good amount of parking which is always a plus. I had the cremebrulatte and my fiancé got an iced mocha, both were perfect. On the cremebrulatte, they actually caramelize the top of it which I thought was a really elevated touch. I tried to capture a picture but it doesn’t suffice (I had already drank part of it in the photo). On warmer weather days, I guarantee their deck will be packed, as it’s a great space. Awesome addition to Simpsonville.
Amaretto latte was fantastic and the service was spot on. really cool atmosphere, would love to hang out here again.
Cute little shop. Coffee and pastries taste great. Owner is very nice. I ordered a t-shirt from them and I love it! Its super comfy and wears good.
I came upon Kaffeine by a happy accident. I could not have been more pleased with the latte I order and the service. I have my own espresso machine and have been struggling with coffee beans. Stephen took the time to answer some questions and offered a suggestion for a bean to try at home. I tried his suggestion yesterday and let’s just say, I will be back for more.
Really good coffee. Fantastic service.
Had a iced mocha and it was great. Staff nice
Best kept secret in downtown Simpsonville! Coffee is better than starbs and the strawberry scones are to die for with their fresh strawberries, chunky sugar sprinkled on top and warm gooey icing drizzled into every sweet crevice of this delightful treat! But nothing is as delightful as the owner, Debbie and her infectious smile. She makes you feel so welcome every time you visit and remembers what you like and how you like it! This place is going to be here for awhile and become a part of downtown culture.
This is our favorite coffee shop and believe me, at 66 and husband 68, we have been to quite a few. The coffee is excellent. We only get Americano so it is straight up coffee. My husband and I love the variety of baked goods Steve creates and look forward to stopping by each Saturday morning. 😋 Hope to see you there.
This place is hands down the best coffee shop in the state. The pastry is to die for. The coffee - pure crema espresso!Seriously, the espresso pours in a velvety, ristretto stream from their machine!For both the serious coffee aficionado and the lay-coffee-drinker.
Very friendly owners. Love that you can watch them bake!
Lemon Blueberry Scones are amazing! Lattes are great. Plenty of inside and outside seating!
Very good.. family vibes..good service
My latte was delicious. Cant wait to go back and try the baked goods.
Not only does this place have the best coffee and drinks in town, the owners are the best. They have great pastries and snacks to go with the coffee. If you are anywhere near here, I highly recommend grabbing a drink and spending some time at Kaffeine. My wife is a big coffee drinker and I drink tea and they have a little bit of something for everyone. My kids love the pastries as well. This little shop is exactly what Simpsonville needed.
Lovely place. Great coffee comfortable atmosphere. Pastries looked homemade and delicious but there werent many as it was day before Christmas 🤣 guess they are good!
Really good coffee and a nice little space.
Delicious coffee and pastries. Ive had a pumpkin spice latte and a dirty hippie (chai tea latte with an espresso shot). Both were the best Ive had. The pastries are always fantastic. The owners are also very friendly and make you feel at home.If I lived in Simpsonville I would be here at least twice a week.
Kaffeine solves the problem most locally owned coffee shops in Greenville have - BAD COFFEE! They also solve another problem - PRETENTIOUS AND UNFRIENDLY STAFF! A third problem is also solved - BORING AND UNCREATIVE BAKERY ITEMS.Today, I had a great cup of coffee (Brazil) with an unbelievable piece of Blood Orange Ricotta Cake in a super friendly environment!Kaffeine has elevated the local coffee shop experience into the 7th Heaven!I am greatly anticipating my next visit.
Staff is always friendly and coffee is fresh.
Awesome place and even better people! Judith is one of the sweetest people you will meet!
Just came from Kaffeine Coffee shop, it was a good experience. We have 3 young children and the employees were very welcoming to our family. They were friendly and patient while we checked out the menu. We had a latte, hot chocolate, and cinnamon roll. The drinks were each well made. The latte was nice and hot, good flavor and plenty of foam. The hot chocolate was decadent, tasted like a scratch made drink (not like a packet). The cinnamon roll was really good too, soft and chewy with just enough cinnamon and frosting. The pricing is very reasonable for quality and quantity of items offered. They have other cold drinks available (bottled water, juices, etc) and then free cups of cold water also. Plenty of space and seating inside for our family, it was busy so we decided to head outside to sit on their deck. It is a nice space- some tables for enjoying your drinks/food, a grassy area with corn-hole and plenty of space for the kids to roam around. Service was great- they brought our drinks out to us and collected the cups when we were finished. I would recommend this coffee shop if youd like to bring your kids out with you.
I never leave reviews but I feel compelled to for this cute coffee shop. Great coffee, atmosphere, service, cute location, plenty of parking, and while I have yet to try the pastries they smell delicious. My favorite place to work.
Very cute spot with good coffee. Fits in perfectly with downtown Simpsonville
Great place! Cozy. Comfortable. Delicious!
The drinks and pastries are delicious. I love supporting small local businesses but I was disappointed to not see any masks when I walked in. What a simple thing to do to keep people safe.
Best coffee Ive had in a long time! They are their own roaster too! Please go there, they are awesome people too! Love to see this coffee shop doing well for a long time! Check it out, you wont regret it!!
Great customer service and experience was wonderful!! We will definitely be coming back here! Coffee is roasted in house as well as pastries are made at the coffee shop! Wonderful service and best espresso frap I have ever had!! Thank you!!
This is a very friendly environment. It feels very homey and cozy. Very nice workers. The coffee is yummy. I got the lavender coffee and didnt know what I was expecting but I was thoroughly impressed. Highly recommend this coffee shop.
When this shop opened originally it was a nice place to get coffee and some pastries. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Well, fast forward to December 2020. My family and I decided the night before we would wake up and head to downtown Simpsonville and have breakfast at Kaffiene. We arrived to frost find a large group blocking the only entrance. They were not waiting in line, just blocking. We walked in and there were a few customers in front of us. That is what we thought. There was no communication, the people in line had ordered just waiting for their drinks. There were 4 people working behind the counter, none wearing masks or any type of sanitary item. No masks, no gloves. Nothing. Four people working and no one could get anyone their coffees. Then one of the women working began picking her nose at the counter. At that moment, we decided to leave and went to find another place.Even my children were disgusted by the staff and the lack of customer service. It was unfortunate considering we purposely came here for a nice Saturday morning breakfast. Now each time we drive or walk past Kaffiene our memory will be a negative one.
This is a great local joint. The coffee is great (and the prices are phenomenal compared to most other small coffee shops). They also bake their own goods on site every morning and they taste fantastic! The owners are very nice people! This shop is in a great location and will definitely be my new go to spot!
Absolutely amazing please!Real coffee real taste fresh and delicious!Super friendly staff/ownersDefinitely will recommend to anybody.Next time in Simpsonville, have to stop by here One more time to get my fresh Espresso beans
I love this place! One of my new favorites. They have amazing coffee that tastes fresh. The pricing was surprising as well!! A large was about $2! My sisters and I enjoyed the aesthetic pleasing environment. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely will be coming here more often 😊👍
My husband and I went in to check the place out. It didn’t disappoint. We got two pour over coffees and cinnamon rolls. The staff is very friendly and they helped us pick out the perfect roast for each of us. It was hands down the best coffee I have had in a long time. Also they open at 6 am, which will be perfect for me to get coffee going to work. Seriously check them out!
First and last visit. Terrible customer service and a long hair baked into my pastry I found when I got home.
Awesome bakery section, get there early for first choice. Everyone very friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Kaffeine is an excellent coffee shop with quick service AND croissants.
I had a good experience at this coffee shop, the people working were really friendly. The coffee shop itself looks really well done and inviting. In my opinion the coffee was just ok. One thing I didnt like(other coffee shops do it too) was they use that syurp to flavor the coffee instead of a sauce. The syrup has a artificial taste making the coffee taste not as good. For example at home I use monin caramel sauce it tastes so much better.
My husband really liked his coffee. I had a pumpkin spice latte but there was just a bit of pumpkin flavor. We shared a blueberry scone and a chocolate chip cookie and they were both tasty. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Very nice good coffee and pastry. I think they are still a little unorganized but are working on it. Nice place
Had a Brazilian french press and it was very good. No pacific roasts or it would be 5 stars. Friendly service and great location, Ill be back the next time Im in Simpsonville.
Cute little coffee shop. Good quality coffee, not too bitter. Cinnimon rolls are very tasty! Prices are very reasonable for espresso drinks, with most being between $3-5.
Everything was amazing. They roast their own coffee here and the hard work shows! Locally owned as well which is my favorite part!
Still the best cup of joe in Simpsonville! Steve roasts on site and takes you to a variety of different countries daily! Warm family friendly atmosphere and a great place to pull up if your a business person needing to pull over and send a few emails!
Fantastic coffee, beautiful people. I have not been disappointed with anything I have ordered here. The only thing that would make it better is a drive thru. 😁
Best COFFEE in the town!!!
Excellent coffee and baklava croissant! I will be back!!
Really enjoyed our afternoon coffee break! Friendly staff, wonderful cinnamon rolls and cranberry scone and great coffee! Well be back !
Great coffee. They do coffee flights! What a great idea to taste different beans
Delicious frappe
Apparently they roast the coffee beans onsite. Had some Columbian beans ground for my cone style coffee maker. It is by far the best coffee I have brewed at home!
The coffee is great! One of a kind in Simpsonville. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the owners were very friendly, and the service was fantastic.
What an amazing coffee shop, hands down best latte Ive ever had!! Super freindly staff, great atmosphere! Scrumptious baked goods. Head to Kaffeine for the best in Simpsonville
Good prices, variety of flavors and a nice dining area. Would recommend!
Very uniquely decorated. Awesome coffee,& cinnamon rolls. Great plus for downtown Simpsonville!!!! We will be back!

Very good coffee shop, cozy, well decorated, good International coffee beans, great muffins, parking lot, clean, friendly, good service.
Amazing croissants, cinnamon rolls, and hot chocolate. We’ll be coming back again!
Great espresso!
The coffee is extra strong and bitter.
Very nice clean and cute place!
Very good service, delicious coffees, and knowledgeable staff
Very expensive based on cup sizes. Not worth the money.
Great coffee, very fresh.
Limited selection of both food and coffee. The coffee was nothing special and the cinnamon bun was small. I hope they improve
Friendly, helpful, many choices, comfortable and delicious!
Love the coffee, pastries and the atmosphere.
Awesome. Love this place
Great local coffee house!
Delicious peppermint macchiato!!
Super friendly, great coffee!
