“Jason was amazing! Fritters even better than Jason!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great bake shop, a fantastic variety of pastries and savory items (mushroom foccaccia is the best when available), hot and cold drinks, and a small selection of wines and other acoutremonts

Vegetarian options: Most pastries, all drinks, some savory items“

“Good Food & Drink, Short on Atmosphere We enjoyed the Pecan Croissant, the Cinnamon Coffecake Muffin and a couple of lattes. All the items were very tasty. My only complaint would be about the atmosphere. It isn’t really a pleasantly comfortable place to sit and enjoy. Lots of signs on the door with instructions and not too clean, haphazard tables inside, etc. While efficient, the person who took our order wasn’t welcoming or particularly helpful. So, run in, get your stuff and vamoose.“

“I ordered this cake for my husband’s birthday and it was a hit! Everyone complimented how amazing this cake was. We live in Atlanta but are already planning our next visit to get a taste of this cake again. I highly recommend. It’s truly the BEST cake I’ve ever had. Also, Christen is very sweet and easy to work with.“

“Super goodies here at Sugar Bakeshop! I would definitely recommend the maple blueberry cupcake… so delicious!“

“5.0 the best to go breakfast I've ever had. Locally sourced and organic. Amazing staff too.“

“Great little place. I enjoyed my vegan sandwich. Garrett is very pleasant, made my day.“

“The Grasshopper Toast was an amazing blend of flavors!“

“Alexis made a gorgeous cupcake cake for my best friends retirement. It tasted incredible and was gorgeous. Would highly recommend her 💝“

“Ashley Bakery did a phenomenal job on my fiancé’s birthday cake! It was a total hit! She created it exactly the way we discussed with the flavoring requested!! I definitely recommend this bakery!!!“

“My family held a birthday celebration for me this weekend and ordered an Italian Cream cake from Sweet Rhi. It was absolutely stunning as the centerpiece on the sideboard as guests entered the foyer! Everyone commented on it. Even more importantly, it was scrumptious! I am normally not a cake person, but I found myself thinking about that cake today and wanting some with my coffee this morning! I highly recommend Sweet Rhi for any occasion.“

“Our wedding cake wasn't only beautiful but also DELICIOUS. She was very accommodating with letting us pick up a tasking box during a busy weekend since we are from out of town and were only in Charleston for a couple days. The cake was so great on the wedding day and presentation was perfect. Happily enjoyed leftovers the next day. Would highly recommend!“

“I tried a variety of desserts from Simply Your Desserts as a treat for my fiance and my anniversary. The owner was the sweetest lady with the warmest personality! We tried lemon loaf cake - the moistest, most lemony deliciousness you’ve ever tasted!! We tried Orange Dreamcicle Cupcakes which were a perfect lightness of that flavor we all know and love, not overly flavored, just right! A wonderfully fluffy cupcake and the frosting was the perfect sweetness! The hot fudge sundae cupcakes - such a pretty cupcake and very delicious!! The chocolate cupcake was so moist and so chocolatey!! As for the vanilla buttercream - I always worry about trying a buttercream frosting from a new bakery cuz I opt for whipped frosting when I have the option. Most buttercream frosting is way too sweet to me, but she has a much more delicate balance between buttery and sweet! It was absolutely divine!! The confetti sugar cookies are very good! Still a bit chewy and gooey which is just how I love my cookies! Tried chewies for my first time, and they are so ooey gooey in the center with a nice crisp on the outside and a buttery sweet flavor, super yummy! I also bought her banana pudding cupcakes and am so looking forward to trying that one later today!! It looks incredible! Yet, I am so sad that is the least new item I have to try for the first time! We will absolutely be returning customers, as I can’t wait to try her other creations!! Do yourself a favor, and try her desserts!!!! 10 out of 10 absolutely recommend!!!“

“5.0 the best to go breakfast I've ever had. Locally sourced and organic. Amazing staff too.“

“Great customer service! Amanda went out of her way to make sure my grandchildren got hot chocolate after 3 other places ran out! The other staff members were great too! So friendly and helpful! Will definitely be returning to purchase more delicious cookies! So many to choose from yet so hard to choose!“

“DaVee is so incredibly talented! I knew I needed some of her desserts for our wedding after sampling some of her cakes and cookies. She made these beautiful cake pops for us, and they were such a hit, I never got to try one because they were devoured instantly!“

“Rise Bespoke Bakery Co. has been such a blessing in this community. Always delivers a beautiful and delicious cake and always so professional and kind. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!“

“Probably one of the best Auntie Anne’s we’ve been to in terms of friendliness and awesome customer service. The taste of the food is a given… it’s good but, some other locations we’ve been to seem like your inconveniencing them by buying their food. Not this though.“

“I went and had lunch there today and they’re amazing!! They were also SO generous and donated pastries for everyone who donated blood for Red Cross. South Windermere merchants all so supportive. Thank you!! Redcrossblood.org“

“One of my favorite places. The best chocolate cake ever!!!“

“Best Lemon coolers I've ever had! I'm back home now and craving them. Time to see if they ship....or maybe drive back to Charleston🤷🏼‍♀️“

“Sarah is incredibly talented! Citadel cake for recognition day was a big hit! Highly recommend Get Caked 🤗“

“Didn’t know it was inside the gas station but they still have a very nice sitting area inside and the atmosphere is nice to sit and eat. The food is obviously amazing. The coffee is great! George who was serving me was such a great employee. They are lucky to have him. He set me up perfectly for a breakfast get together I was having. Will be coming back.“

“They made the most amazing Christmas dinner for me and my family!!! Worth every penny spent!!!!“

“Amazing place, friendly service and delicious treats! I recommend the eclairs and the macarons.“

“The owner was absolutely lovely, speaking a mix of French and English. She was very patient with my rusty French :) I had a fantastic cannoli and coffee. The dog was super cute. Their setup is extremely small, but the feel is like a little piece of Europe in the South.“

“The cashier was very friendly. She was an older white lady and very sweet to speak with. I went two days in a row to get my watch looked at by the booth in front of the store. Both days she worked and was friendly both times. She spoke very kindly to my 8-year-old daughter. She heated up the cinnamon bites and made sure we were satisfied.“
