“ On a very busy morning, Alissa at the front gave me stellar customer service. Warm, genuine, helpful, knowledgeable. Harlem is one of the best cafes I’ve ever been to and as a frequent traveler I’ve been to some of the best! Baked goods and coffee are out of this world! Don’t miss this charming and delicious place in historic Charleston! ”
“ Harken was a pleasant experience all around. The staff is super nice and personable. We brought our baby daughter with us and they loved talking to her and she made everyone smile. The coffee we had was delicious and had perfect flavor. It was a vanilla latte. We tried the chocolate chip cookie and it was fresh and to die for. The ambiance was very nice and peaceful. Seating inside and out too. I can’t say enough good things about Harken. ”
“ Such a cool spot! They obviously know what they are doing as the food, service and atmosphere were on point! I had the "Butter Me Up" breakfast sandwich and a delicious, authentic macchiato. Staff was great and I will definitely be back with friends and family. A true gem of a cafe'! ”
“ This is the best coffee... and pastry shop... i have ever been to. It is a challenge to find something that isn’t good on the menu. The Latte’s and espresso are absolutely perfect and the scones/matcha green tea cake/spinach roll etc are literally perfect. I am not exaggerating here... Harken will be catering my wedding or any event. ”
“ Obsessed with Harken ! This spot was 10/10. Their salads were fresh and unique with healthy ingredients. If you enjoy holistic eating, this is a must try spot. We LOVED the turmeric pumpkin seed apricot load ! We enjoyed it so much we came back twice a day for both breakfast and lunch ! ... even grabbed their cookbook to try and recreate some of the recipes at home. The pasties were unique and artisan, always freshly baked. I loved the potato scallion salad and herb bean pea salad. 10/10 recommend. The pricing is also extremely reasonable. ”
“ I loved this little coffee shop so much that I drove back from Savannah just to have coffee with biscuits one last time before going back home . I would say that while the food was excellent, the owner could invest in giving more training to the very young staff that works there to be a bit more customer friendly ”
