Bart's Crazy Good Coffee runs out of the Chapin, South Carolina area with a storefront, a coffee truck that parks on Sunset Boulevard near Lexington Wednesday through Friday, and a Saturday-morning crowd that settles into the couch inside with a cup. The drive-thru handles the in-and-out traffic. The couch handles the rest.
House-made whipped cream is the move. The toasted marshmallow whipped cream is what regulars name first, and it sits on top of whatever drink you're ordering like a real dessert finish, not a Reddi-wip squirt. The Blackberry White Mocha is the signature flavored drink. The flat white with toffee nut syrup is the order if you want something a step less sweet. The OMG blend covers the people who came for coffee, not flavored drinks. And there is pumpkin spice in the fall, which is the kind of seasonal hit that small Southern shops nail when chains overdo it.
Ice cream and milkshakes round out the family-stop side of the business. The truck schedule (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday on Sunset Boulevard) is worth checking before you drive over, because that's the loop the operation runs and you don't want to miss it.
Bart's has done a Coffee 101 class with the Irmo Chamber of Commerce, which is the small-town civic-life touch that places this size do well. If you're ordering grounds to take home, brew them in a French press or a large drip pot. The grind doesn't favor single-cup machines, and the regulars who buy bags know that.
Who this is for: Chapin-area locals on a Saturday morning who want couch time and a flavored drink, families looking for ice cream and coffee from the same counter, and home brewers buying ground coffee for a Bodum. It is a small-town shop run by people you'll get to know on the second visit.
