What a jam of Seneca!!! I am a coffee lover. This coffee is made from the beginning starting with right roasted beans to ending in your cup is truly delicious! Strongly recommend!

A really great place for virtually any coffee drink you can think of. I've never seen growlers of cold brew and nitro on tap. Very creative good flavors. Come support an amazing local and unique coffee shop!

I went with my daughters and we so enjoyed our coffee and tea drinks. ☕️ They were so sweet and helpful. I live long distance but plan to go the next time I'm in town. Yall, please go support them and their business. I wish them well and great success!

Love this spot! Order downstairs, then relax in a comfy chair upstairs. Owners are so friendly—they even bring your matcha or cappuccino to you! Great for laptop work, plenty of parking, and so cute!

Blackwater Roasters is one of our favorite coffee spots. The quality is consistently outstanding — espresso, pour over, and cold brew are all smooth, rich, and expertly crafted. The monthly espresso specials are creative and genuinely delicious, not just sweet for the sake of it. Also, Gus (our therapy dog and Head of Coffee Quality Control) has approved this as an official hooman coffee location. He will continue supervising future visits. Gus approved. ☕🐾

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Black Waters Roasters is a true hidden gem near Lake Keowee and Seneca! This cozy, locally owned coffee shop makes some of the best coffee I’ve had in the area—and it’s truly the only local spot of its kind around. You can taste the difference in every cup. They make their own flavored syrups in-house (which is rare and amazing!), and they also sell their own roasted beans, which make a great gift or a treat to take home. The shop itself is super inviting, with a cool upstairs loft area that’s perfect for relaxing, reading, or catching up with friends. It has a great vibe and feels like a breath of fresh air compared to the usual chain options. My only wish? The cup sizes! Their small is very small—I’d love to see some larger options in the future because the coffee is just that good. If you’re anywhere near Seneca or the lakes, definitely make a stop here. You won’t be disappointed! #BlackWatersRoasters #LakeKeoweeCoffee #SenecaSC #SupportLocalCoffee #SCcoffee #CoffeeNearTheLake #SpecialtyCoffeeSC #CoffeeLovers #HiddenGemSC #SouthCarolinaCoffee ☕️ Follow me on Instagram @holycityfitblonde for more great reviews on restaurants, hotels, boutiques, and much more!

In my view, best coffee in the greater Seneca area. Cold brew and espresso are so smooth, and I loved the cranberry/lemon take on cold brew. Portion sizes are not monstrous, which I really appreciate. Will return and recommend.

Goodness Gracious! The Pure Shine on this Place is extravagant! I admittedly gave a little smirk at the 110 5 star reviews; I was like, Really??? Having done coffee on an actual coffee plantation (Doka) in Costa Rica and tasted utter smoothness from super real time freshness of beans, I was thinking, “in Seneca, SC???” But here I go being put in my place by this sweet, little shop with Baristas that, to date, are unequaled in charm, grace and good looks! Ha! What an experience of a little slice of coffee glory! And here is the kicker, I do not drink coffee on a regular basis ! BUT as I tried my husband’s coffee, which he took black, this coffee truly was smooth enough that I could get to enjoying a daily cup! ~Anyways, then I saw a glass of golden liquid being brought to a couple of non coffee drinking customers, and discovered that this specialty coffee place also brews made to order servings of Tea! And there was my second round of total enjoyment: the Peach Tea curated by Tranquilitea Tea Co out of Greenville, cold steep without any embellishment was absolutely Top Notch! Truly flavorful and Delicious!! Waiting for its preparation, I came across my third enjoyment offered at this cafe, in the lovely handcrafted pottery mugs! I love the design of these mugs because they have small diameter rims and that helps to keep hot beverages hot longer! Also the more slender shape of the mug with the thumb rest is easier on small hands! Oh my, It most certainly was a delightful trifecta visit! Lucky YOU ALL get to live nearby to this place! We are out of state visitors, and wish you all to support and come out to enjoy this darling place!! There is modest indoor and outdoor seating! ~But lots of friendly coffee lovers/ connoisseurs to encounter and mingle with here! Truly a gift to the coffee loving community!
