How does BrewAtlas choose these cafés?

BrewAtlas only lists specialty coffee shops, so every café here has passed our curation bar for coffee quality, and placement can't be bought. To appear on this page a café must also serve food. This isn't a popularity ranking: it's the full set of curated cafés with food in Charleston, kept up to date as hours and details change.
