The owner has requested What Now Charleston keep certain details under wraps as they are still in very early development stages. However, they did mention that they’d like to offer a full line of coffee and pastries. 

Per public records, the unnamed cafe plans to put picnic tables in its spacious outdoor area as it’s “an ideal place to sit around, take care of business, or make calls.” The hope is that it will be a community-centric hang out spot “where residents can ride their bikes to and work or just enjoy a cup of coffee.”

Proposed hours are from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
