Second State Coffee
Formerly known as Black Tap Coffee, we are a local coffee shop and roastery serving Charleston since 2012.
We source and roast high-quality single-origin specialty coffees right on James Island and serve across 4 locations spanning the Charleston area The name "Second State" was born in our second phase of business. It stands as a reminder to always push ourselves toward the next level of knowledge, curiosity, service, excellence, and growth - a never ending {second state} of being.

"Who packs and ships all the coffee?" "Who makes the cold brew coffee?" "Who wrote the note that came in my order?" "Who delivers all the pastries?"
Kenny does. And he is an absolute powerhouse. He is also a Liverpool FC fanatic, was once a participant on the Jay Leno show, and he says 'Taylor Ham not Pork Roll' (it's a Jersey thing).
