eCity Java — Restaurant in Anderson

Eh coffee. Great atmosphere. Better alternative to large chains. Don't go to starbucks.

This coffee shop is not for the connoisseur. Period. It is fine at slinging syrupy steamed milk coffee drinks if that's your thing. If you like getting pumpkin spice lattes or peppermint mochas at Starbucks, then you will likely love eCity java and I encourage you to support this local business. If you are looking for a beautifully pulled espresso, or a delicious drip or pour over, move along. They keep their beans in giant transparent chutes on the wall for them to go horribly stale. The beans are exposed to light and air, presumably for weeks. If you don't mind stale hazelnut coffee, go for it!

I ordered an espresso. Mistake. They served it in a to go cup. I needed the caffeine but it was an atrocious pull.

The atmosphere is nice. Couches. Board games. Great place to relax. If only they had good coffee to boot!

I will come back here whenever I am in town to enjoy a steamer, hot...

When I'm in Anderson I always make it a point to stop here for coffee and sometimes a snack (usually just coffee).

The atmosphere is very chill and the staff just as much so. They are friendly, helpful and efficient, but usually alone, so put your patience on.

They have a wide selection of beans too choose from and you can ask for a particular style and they will direct you, with a smile (girls more than guys).

They also have smoothies and other stuff that I haven't really tried, because I just want coffee. They have a room off to the side with chill music and eclectic style. When others are having conversation, just know it's not private.

Lots to look at on the walls and bulletin board and comfy chairs and tables.

A nice spot for your morning brew....

I was working a wedding right up the road from this place over the weekend. I arrived super early and after waiting for a while, I couldn't wait any longer, my bladder was full! Being from Greenville, I didn't know my way around but I hit main street walking at 8am in the hopes of finding an open sign. Ecity was the only one I saw! The sign on the door plainly states "no public restrooms" so I stepped in and asked where the nearest one was, the cashier replied that I could use theirs if I bought something. However, I didn't set out look for something to buy so I left my wallet in the car. I promised I'd return and buy something if she let me use the restroom, she did! I then ran to my car and back to Ecity for a frappe and it was delish!...
