Sip sip hooray, Dawn Patrol Coffeehouse is opening next Saturday, July 19. The James Island spot was originally set to open in the spring, but the team announced in May that it had to push back its opening day due to some unforeseen circumstances.
But now that things are back on track, there’s a whole latte to be excited about. Owner and Charleston native Wyatt Morris, and the team will be slinging coffee, beer, burritos, donuts, and lots of other tasty treats from 608 Harborview Rd. Fun fact: The shop will also feature a small section for all things surfing; it’s only 15 minutes from Folly Beach, after all.
