This is NOT YOUR ORDINARY COFFEE SHOP!! I am so grateful that they are here in Goose Creek, SC. RA Coffee Company offers many different options of Coffees and beverages and food stuffs. They are conveniently located on Rt. 52, highly visible, and easily accessible from the highway.
The Pastries are baked fresh in house daily from scratch with the freshest and best ingredients. My favorites so far are the Soft and Chew chocolate chip cookies, the German Pear Apple cake with the cinnamon drizzle on top, and the Lemon Cake with an absolutely wonderful glaze.
It was my first visit so Matt suggested a few of the local favorites. I ordered the wonderful, full bodied cappuccino and a slice of the Scrumptious German Apple Pear Cake- It was absolutely the most delicious, moist, decadent cake ever! I couldn't believe I ate the entire cake so fast. I ordered the Lemon Cake for Hubby ( which he inhaled) and a few cookies for the kids. Everyone was happy and raved about their treats. (WIN!)
While, I was checking out the menu, Matt was suggesting that I try the World famous Lotus Energy drinks. I had never heard of them so I decided to research what they were and try them on a later day. It turns out that Lotus Energy drinks are plant based syrups loaded with "Adaptogenic"botanicals, superfruits, amino acids, B-Vitamins, natural caffeine, Coffee fruit (Cascara), natural flavors, and sweetened with pure cane sugar. Definitely a must try as I'm all about trying new things that are healthier choices. I breathe and I gain weight.
So for the Beverage run down RA Coffee Company offers Hot and Cold Coffees, Expresso, Americano, Latte, Cappuccinos, Macchiatos, Mochas, White Chocolate Mochas, Mochaccino, and Keto Bullet proof Coffees. Also offered are Fruit smoothies in Mango, Pina Colada, Peach, Raspberry, Strawberry Banana, and wildberry to name a few. Italian Sodas, Apple Cider, etc.
In the Goodies section, RA Coffee Company offers breakfast sandwiches, New York Bagels (Flown in from Brooklyn,NY- I grew up in that area and we believe it's that WADA that makes the bagels so good) , Krispy Kreme donuts delivered fresh from West Ashley, Croissant sandwiches (with and without meat), Keto Salads and Baked KETO treats from Scratch.
The Staff is Super Sweet, The Decor is eye catching, the restaurant is always neat and clean, there a comfy and eclectic seating area outside, the location is easy to get to and well lit, there's plenty of parking and a drive thru window. RA Coffee Company is a Winner! Please Support and check out Matt!

Read moreWe have needed a decent coffee shop in Goose Creek for quite some time. My friend has been raving about this place, and since I had to be up and out early for a fasting blood draw, I seized the opportunity to check it out on my way home. I am so glad I did!
The space is snug, with bar seating as well as a couple of tables. I walked in and was warmly greeted at the check-in/out counter, and told to order there when I was ready. I scooched past the table to see the menu, which is simple but has a bit of everything. I ran a coffee shop years ago but saw an item I didn't recognize: cortado. I asked the girl at the counter what that was and she said it is a Cuban coffee drink, espresso with just enough milk to cut the acid. Sounded perfect. I was hungry too, and as I am always craving a bagel I ordered a breakfast sandwich on one of their touted NY bagels.
The coffee was fantastic, smooth and rich and just what the Dr. ordered. The bagel was not as "everything" as I am used to, but that was fine because I often end up with seeds all over my hands, shirt, and teeth when eating an everything bagel, and this was much less of a mess. I noted sesame seeds but no poppy seeds. It was soft and fresh, not toothy and chewy like many bagels. The subtle flavors of the ham, egg, and Cheddar combined into a very mild, soothing breakfast sandwich, which was a nice way to start the day.
Everything was freshly prepared and service was super-fast. The counter girl was genuinely interested to know how I liked the coffee, and I let her know I liked it very much. Cortado may be my new favorite coffee drink! And RA may be my new favorite coffee shop. It's definitely my closest coffee shop, so I will be...
Read moreRA Coffee is a relatively new joint up in Goose Creek owned by a couple from Seattle I believe. I met the husband owner and he took our order and rang us out. He explained their bakery cabinet (mostly baked in house) and their bagel selection (flown in from NYC actually) I love a good New York bagel so I was thrilled. I wanted a cinnamon raisin but sadly they didn't have any. I went for a cranberry energy?? Not sure what the energy means but it was delicious either way. I did it with just butter and it was perfectly toasted.
I got a 16oz hot latte with almond milk for my drink, my husband got a zebra mocha. Mine was yummy, the almond milk tasted good. Sometimes almond milk can be cardboard tasting and theirs was not. My husband liked his zebra mocha it was like a white and chocolate espresso drink.
The bagels and coffee were yummy and low priced too. It was about noon when we arrived and it wasn't too busy but it still seemed hectic in there. I think they have a few kinks to work out still with the service efficiency. It must be hard to balance two separate drive thru windows plus customers inside.
The inside of the location is small, with a few tables. Not a location you'd want to sit for a long time or break out the laptop. This is more of a grab and...
