Food scene
Order at the VW bus outside and request to sit inside. If you want to watch the baristas and crepe-makers, ask to sit at the bar (10 or 11). Counter Culture Coffee (Asheville, NC). Sweet and savory options with excellent coffee and loose leaf teas.
Seasonal specials and options for diet restrictions. Our favorite: Sausage Potato with a Honey Lavender Latte. Their waffles are amazing as well!

This is one of the local coffee shops that composts with us at Enoree Grove. In addition to excellent coffee, you really should splurge on one of their delightful pastries! Their flagship shop is on Wade Hampton in Greenville, but we're so excited they've opened up a second location right here in TR!

A quiet shop right as you enter Travelers Rest. This is one of the coffee companies that composts with us at Enoree Grove. We recommend their dirty chai. :)

Methodical Coffee has their roasting manufactory in Travelers Rest and three unique locations in Greenville. If you're into a hiking vibe, try their Landmark Shop on Wade Hampton. For a full menu breakfast, check out The Commons (near Unity Park). And if you're in the heart of downtown Greenville, they've got you covered there too. :) They also compost with us at Enoree Grove! Alan's Favorite: Tres Leche. Michelle's: Honey Latte.

Travelers Rest, SC
Our home. And your home away from home! One of the best small towns anywhere. If you need the inside scoop, just let us know. :)
A city known for its culture and creativity. Whether you're looking for a culinary tour, theatre performances, a great university, a wonderful and still walkable zoo, or splash pads along the Swamp Rabbit Trail, this is the place.

Pet goats or enjoy a hike up Glassy Mountain at the NPS Carl Sandburg Home. The Park at Flat Rock is excellent for a wide span of children's ages. Hungry? We love Honey and Salt as well as The Wrinkled Egg. There are also several apple orchards - and the donuts are worth the line.
