What customers say

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???

I really enjoyed spending time at Blackwater Roasters this morning with some friends! Annie made me the best chai I've had in a long time, and that's saying something because I've tried all that Oconee has to offer! I also tried one of their coffees and it was really, really delicious.
