Spill the Beans has been locally owned here in Greenville, SC since 2002! They have been serving delicious coffee and ice cream since before the Liberty bridge was built! The original location was across the street from the current space, into which they moved in 2008.

Owners Abram and Heather Curtis have created a space where everyone is welcome. They want customers to feel comfortable whether they know anything about coffee. A top goal is for every customer to have a positive experience, regardless of the reason for their visit. Abram mentioned they think of themselves as an extension of Falls Park. Each day they see a variety of people visiting Falls Park and have strived to create an environment where all feel welcome in their business as well.

Would you believe me if I told you this all started with a French Press coffee maker? That’s right! When Abram was in college he gave his father a French Press for a Christmas gift. While his father wasn’t as inclined to use the French Press and experiment with it, Abram was. Once his father realized how amazing the coffee was and how much you could create, his entrepreneurial juices started flowing.

Abram’s parents were missionaires and therefore moved around during his childhood. His parents moved to Greenville, SC in 1998 when his father accepted a job at Bob Jones University. Upon visiting from college during Christmas break, Abram quickly fell in love with Greenville. After graduating from college, he returned to Indiana where he spent his teen years. In 2008 he came back to Greenville to buy the business from his parents.

In April 2018, Abram and Heather opened a second location in Spartanburg, SC, located at 174 East Main Street. This was not a decision they took lightly. Abram and Heather wanted to make sure they had a solid foundation and strong systems in place prior to expanding. They were approached by a developer and really liked the space they were shown. Abram described having the same feeling he had when he moved to the current Greenville location. Not only was it a great fit, but they were excited to be a part of another growing and developing city.

Of course Abram and Heather want to continue to grow their business. But they also want to fine tune their operations and make sure they don’t grow too fast. Each day they focus on learning what they need to learn to be a sustainable and consistent business.

Both locations are open Monday-Saturday 6:30am-11:00pm and Sunday 1:30pm-10pm. You can follow Spill the Beans on Instagram and Facebook.
