THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I GET COFFEE NOW! Seriously, this coffee shop puts others to shame! Driving up to the shop, you immediately see that this place is on another level. You feel like you are being transported to a place of beautiful, serene caffeinated bliss! There is a beautiful patio (covered now) overlooking a peaceful pond with plenty of seating. You are greeted by the most incredible staff anywhere! They are courteous, thoughtful, helpful, and knowledgeable. The handcrafted drinks are the best there is. There’s coffee, refreshers, fruit drinks, and Red Bull mixers. I really wish I could order every coffee, every time! From the first sip, you know that you are drinking truly fresh beans and clean ingredients. Simplify the best coffee anywhere. Now the crêpes. Fresh and delicious. The perfect combination with their delectable coffees! Bottom line, if you want to disappear into a little, caffeinated oasis on your way to work or on your lunch break, there honestly is nowhere else even close to this tiny piece of heaven!

Warm, welcoming vibe. Such a cute place for meetings or family gatherings! Love the fact they are open late as well. Delicious coffee and scones!!! The year round patio offers amazing views of the pond.

121 Coffee has become my favorite spot in Spartanburg. The lakeside patio and walking paths make it feel like a little getaway, and the staff are genuinely kind and welcoming. Big shoutout to Alina she’s super sweet and makes amazing блины that go perfectly with a latte. I loved the Raspberry Dream Matcha and the seasonal lattes, and there are plenty of tables with shade if you want to sit and relax. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and really good food for everyone. Highly recommend!”

We came here for coffee since we were staying at a hotel nearby and saw this place on Google maps. Wow!! How beautiful is this place…. there’s all these outdoor seating areas ( overlooking a lake, swings, carriage, benches, fire pit with tree trunk seats) the inside is really cute as well, coffee is delicious, mostly espresso based. Best of all, the Christian music playing indoors & outdoors, what a peaceful way to begin the day. Thank you and God bless.

What is so hard about making a plain Nutella crepes? I’ve already had this kind of experience multiple times, where I order a plain Nutella crêpe and I get it with condensed milk and powdered sugar! I’ve even specified that I do not want condensed milk and powdered sugar on my crêpe Yet they still put it on. This is so frustrating who even likes condensed milk on their crêpes? for a $10 crêpe I expect you to get my crêpe right. This is so beyond frustrating.

Absolutely love it here! As a regular, I can honestly say Kristina is a big reason I keep coming back. She’s so sweet to every customer, and ALSO makes coffee actually taste good, and not like it was rushed. The matchas and redbull sodas are what I always come back for!

Alina is a really great and sweet employee. The crepes are a 10/10. Very friendly atmosphere. If you’re looking for a 1 stop shop for some coffee and breakfast, this is the place to go.

I recently tried the blinchiki with red fish and a special sauce, and it was simply delightful! Each bite was filled with the tender flavor of the fish, while the sauce added a touch of sophistication and a hint of zest. The blinchiki were perfectly made—thin, soft, and just sturdy enough to hold the filling. It’s the perfect combination for true food lovers!
The atmosphere in the café is enhanced by barista Elya, who always greets guests with a genuine smile and is ready to help with recommendations. Thanks to her suggestions, I found the perfect coffee with add-ins that complemented my meal beautifully. Elya truly knows how to make every visit special!
I highly recommend trying these pancakes and enjoying the ambiance of this wonderful place!

A lovely café by the water with a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The coffee is very good — smooth and flavorful — and the view makes it even better. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought into the space, from the design to the peaceful surroundings. A great place to slow down for a bit and enjoy a quiet cup of coffee.

I love coming to Coffee 121! They had ran out of chai when I had visited which is not a big deal because I love trying new things and they have a list of fall menu items to try. This caramel energy drink literally tastes like a caramel apple and is so good!
