Sanders paid a visit to Spill The Beans in downtown Spartanburg just prior to his appearance at the town hall.
He ordered a green tea and a slice of carrot cake, according to employee Jason Wall, 21.
"My friend, Landon, was like, 'I think that's Bernie Sanders," he said. "Everybody was in here kind of looking at him whispering and he went out there with his drink and his carrot cake and somebody got up to take a picture and after that it was everybody. Everybody got up the confidence to get up."
Wall said Sanders asked if he liked his job at the coffee shop and asked how long the location had been in business. He congratulated employees on celebrating their one year since opening in April 2018.
"We were just having a nice conversation," Wall said. "He was super kind."
