Calling all caffeine lovers!

It seems that every corner you turn in Charleston has another cozy coffee shop. Some coffee addicts have their go-to spots, while others like to explore and compare vanilla lattes from one place to another. Either way, you can't go wrong when choosing where to get your piping hot (or ice cold) joe!

1. Black Tap

Located at 70 Beaufain Street, Black Tap is a favorite here in Charleston. It has a very chic, clean vibe with its white walls and quaint bar seating. (We can't forget the cute picnic table in the middle!) Many local companies in Charleston will use Black Tap's coffee for their customers (like the downtown Cat Café)! Not only are their basic coffee flavors popular, but so are their unique ones.

"Black Tap's iced lavender lattes are to DIE for." - Krissy S.

2. Tricera Coffee

Many may say this George Street coffee shop is on the (tricera)top of the list! Pictures and figurines of Triceratops will make you feel as if you're about to sip a macchiato on set of "Jurassic Park." The scaly skin of a dinosaur may be pretty rough, but their coffee sure goes down quite smooth. Word on the street is that their breakfast is also to "roar" for!

3. The Rise

This Wentworth Street coffee shop has a rustic, city vibe that'll lure anyone in. The exposed brick, hanging light bulbs and popular "Rosemary Rise" in hand will make your coffee experience feel like one out of "Gossip Girl."

"The Rise is a classy pit-stop between classes for when I need an extra caffeine kick!" - Christina B.

4. Kudu

Kudu can potentially cure anyone's drink needs. This Vanderhorst street coffee shop is also a craft beer bar (with wine and mimosas, too)! We also can't forget carbs...lots of carbs: bagels, croissants and muffins galore! Some days they also close down for live performances.

"Kudu has a laid-back vibe that is the definition of a college coffee shop." - Alex H.

5. City Lights

Take a turn down Market Street to this tiny and cozy coffee shop, full of colorful chalkboards, lights and old, wooden furniture and walls. It's perhaps one of the coziest coffee shops in Charleston. They serve their coffee in colorful, traditional cups like the ones on "Friends!"

These are only a few of Charleston's most popular coffee shops. Obviously, if all of them were listed, you would be scrolling for a long time! Perhaps a coffee shop article part two will come? What are your favorite coffee shops in Charleston?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
