Established nearly 25 years ago, Summit is a family-owned and operated business that relies on long-standing relationships with small producers across the globe for coffee beans, which are then roasted in small batches, the release stated.

Opening details on Summit Coffee’s upcoming Charleston-area locations are forthcoming, according the release. Their addresses are: Summit Coffee – Old Village, 411 Hibben St., Mount Pleasant, and Summit Coffee Nexton, 408 Brighton Park Blvd., Suite 400, Summerville.
