"Goldstar is hands down one of our favorite go-to spots on John’s Island. The coffee is consistently excellent, the baked goods are always fresh, and you can tell real care goes into everything they serve. What really sets Goldstar apart, though, is the people. The staff is unfailingly friendly, well trained, and genuinely happy to be there, which makes every visit easy and welcoming. Rachel, the owner, is incredible. She’s hands-on, deeply involved in the community, and it shows in how the place is run and the culture she’s built. Goldstar isn’t just a great coffee shop, it feels like a true neighborhood staple, and we’re lucky to have it."

"Great spot for meeting up. Lots of options for coffee, team. Local selections with great service. They are a hidden gem. Don't miss out!"

"Cozy little coffee stop on Johns Island with that fresh roast aroma that hits the moment you walk in ☕️✨. It smells incredible and the drinks match the vibe, smooth and consistent every time 😌. Friendly crew, quick service, a solid pastry case, and a calm room that works for laptop time or a quiet reset 💻. Easy add to my morning loop before heading toward Kiawah or into town 🌴💯."

"Adorable coffee shop! I was greeted and served by a very friendly staff member. She was helpful with descriptions of menu items and made my hazelnut latte perfect(hot and not too sweet). This place has a warm, friendly feel. It is clear the owner puts heart into this business. I could hang here all day with a good book."

"Such a beautiful coffee shop! With amazing drip coffee and delicious pastry selections. Staff are SO sweet and always greet you with a smile and warmth. My favorite spot to grab coffee in the mornings and work for a few hours on my laptop. Plenty of outlets to charge your laptop with and that is a huuuuge plus. Perfect ambiance and vibe to start your day."
