The drip coffee I had was great, light and floral. Didn't really feel seen there by the employees. I'd go again.

Stumphouse makes the best coffee in the area. Regular here for the last year. Very nice atmosphere as well. Keep it up!

Decent espresso drinks just off the lobby of the hotel. Has separate entrance and don't need to be a guest to enjoy. Plenty of seating inside and out. Didn't sample food but looked OK.

What more can I say, they serve Methodical coffee, best coffee in Clemson. Cozy, calm atmosphere and great baristas! Love the oatmeal in a jar and veggie sandwich.

By far the best coffee shop in Clemson. They serve the best coffee made in the Upstate (Methodical) and the atmosphere is cozy with a nice fireplace. Some of the staff is still learning to make drinks, but they want to accommodate and please anyway they can. If you are in Clemson and need great coffee, this is the place to go.

My husband and I visited today. We each had a small latte. Mine was the stumphouse and was the best coffee. I have had in my life. It was simply perfect. My husband had the spiced honey hazelnut, which was also good but not nearly as good as mine. Barista was wonderful, very sweet and helpful.

Open 6 - 2 with exceptional coffee and muffins. Enjoyed talking with the manager who is a junior at Clemson. She gave excellent service and great conservation. Next time I'm in Clemson I will be back.
