Cru Wine Bar, Coffee Shop & Wine Store

Cool little cafe! We enjoyed some lavender lattes. They were delicious. This older historical space was perfectly suited as a cafe!!

Being vegetarian, there was a sandwich on the menu we wanted to try, only to find out they were out of one of the main ingredients.

They made the sandwich a different way with olive oil and some other seasonings, and it turned out GREAT!! It was really nice of them to not just say they couldn’t make the sandwich, but to try anyway.

Also, excellent coffee and chai!!

I have eaten here twice for breakfast and if I make it back to Beaufort, I’ll probably eat here again.

The food is good, but very reasonable in portion size. So if you’re looking for a lot of food, this might not be the best place to go. But the quality is good. The coffee is good there as well.

The staff is always super friendly. We always walk there from the marina/dinghy dock so I can’t talk about parking.

I would like to go back and try the bar some evening.

Welcoming staff, quick service, and awesome bar/coffee shop!

Yes, you read that right. Half the place is a coffee shop that serves delicious coffees and breakfast. While the other half is a full wine shop/bar.

I ordered a cold brew from the coffee shop side in addition to a Bacon, egg, and cheese Flatbread that was delicious and made to order!

From the bar side I ordered a few jello syringes. They had a wide variety of flavors and alcohols and they definitely don't skimp on the amount of alcohol and jello you get in these syringes.

Great place! Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

A must try!

We stopped for a light lunch. Really fast service for a delicious BLT and the best chicken salad wrap I have eaten in ages. My husband got a tea but I went over to the wine bar and got a Prosecco which was on tap. It was wonderful. Everyone was very helpful making suggestions and indulging my many questions. Don’t miss these treasures during your time in Beaufort.

Okay short answer, me and my wife really loved this little place. We are visiting from Maryland and are definitely coming back the service was really good and they were wearing masks properly , they only had two people working during a rush and were really friendly and still made it through the orders really quick and the coffee was good, my wife and I liked that you could choose between different roasts I drink black coffee and it was really good had nice flavors wasn’t just flat black coffee, wasn’t the best but it was a nice surprise from a non specialty coffee place. Our breakfast was great I got the southwest burrito(the picture makes it look gross because I smushed it in the bag haha) and it was grilled which i have never seen before and it was amazing. My wife got the breakfast bagel and she really loved it.

Update: went again on a Thursday and had a different experience the food was still good wasn’t nearly as good as last time cheese wasn’t melted at all but it was still good just not like that first amazing time, which was cheese stretching for miles and perfect(maybe I’m picky 😂). And I’m sorry the coffee wasn’t good it was like gas station coffee, but I understand it’s easy to brew a pot completely different still giving 5 stars but I was disappointed since we are leaving town tomorrow

Cool coffee shop in a cool area a lot of shops our cashier was very friendly coffee was probably a 4 star but would still recommend coming here

Awesome place! Coffee shop staff and bar staff are all great! Every food item and beverage I have ordered has been fantastic! I give this place top marks. The coffee shop staff and manger make my day!

Such a unique place! The coffee & food is really great, and the menu has expanded a lot since we’ve been visiting over the years. Try the “Meatza”. It’s a delicious flatbread pizza with bacon, pepperoni and sausage. The ever changing homemade desserts are great as well. Fantastic cold brew coffee.

This place is so great!!!!! I am happy to see the area have a LGBTQIA+ friendly place. It’s so heart-warming. Also, the staff is really great. I was so shocked that they host drag shows. It’s amazing!!! I wasn’t able to make it while I was in town, but I will next time!! They even made me a vegan wrap!!!

Literally the workers were so kind and inclusive + patient. The customer service is 10/10 with how patient they are and caring. As someone who is mentally troubled it took me a little while to get my words out and the person taking my order waited until i was able to, they also are incredibly inclusive when it comes to pride or anything related to it. i enjoyed the scenery aswell! there is alot to look at inside and as someone with ADHD it was quite captivating!!! 5 Stars! The scenery, the customer service, the drinks were absolutely amazing. I enjoy that with most drinks they let you add your own sugar because usually the drinks i order are typically sweet but i personally just get them for flavor and dislike the sweetness. The drinks are a solid 10 and honestly due to the fact they lack in Starbucks’s in Beaufort I’d genuinely consider this the alternative, or even better than Starbucks. In total i ENTIRELY reccomend coming to this location/Coffee shop! :]

Blended matcha was excellent (I'd recommend the smaller size - it's very sweet and still quite large)
Peppermint ice latte and the peanut butter cookie were also great

9/10

Super hospitable staff and great vibes! Definitely one of our favorite bars on town! 10/10 recommend getting a drink here!

Wonderful place! The staff and manager are good folks and the food and coffee are great.
We enjoyed the Lox bagels and coffee and spicy bloody Mary's.
This place has a great vibe and decor.
Check it out and enjoy!

I didn't rate the food as we only drank their crafted beers, which were good and full of flavor.

We stopped in here for drinks and ice cream for the kids after a long day visiting the shops downtown. The barista was extremely nice and our drinks were great. The kids loved their ice cream and as a special treat they got to dance around in the stage lights on the little stage while we waited for our drinks. They had a very nice and extensive wine selection. Hope to stop by on our next visit to downtown Beaufort!

The coffee is good. The atmosphere is nice, and the bar is fun. This has been a frequent spot since I moved to the area.

My family really enjoyed this cafe. The food service is slow - my son ordered a toasted bagel with cream cheese and it took over 10 minutes. He enjoyed it though, so I won’t knock off a star for slow service. They have social events during the week with coffee and pastry specials. I love the space and the coffee drinks are delicious.

Chill spot to relax and enjoy coffee and breakfast in the morning as well as a nice evening hang out for wine or other libations. The recent Halloween live entertainment event we attended was exactly what we needed. Great turn-out, great show, great staff.
