36 Best Bakeries in Charleston

“Stopped at the James Island one for breakfast… amazing!!! This place is the best!!! Please come open one in Greenville!!!“

“Sunday morning 9AM, little bit of a line but moved quick!

Apple danish - overall fine but the pastry part was too chewy almost stale, hard to tell if intentionally chewy or overcooked. Apple slices while aesthetically pleasing, hard to chew because of apple skin left on during baking

Chocolate Croissant - pretty good, but different. Super crunchy and very buttery. Good chocolate distribution

Matcha - great matcha to oat milk ratio but wasn’t whisked all the way through“

“When we travel to Charleston from WV we always visit WildFlour Pastry for a Hot chai and raspberry scone. 😋 This week was my daughters 21st Birthday so of course we went to WildFlour and purchased a Red Velvet Cake to celebrate. It was delicious!! The staff was very helpful and pleasant! Thank you for helping me to make my daughters birthday memorable! 🎂 🎈 Love from WV!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Southern Hosptality at it's finest. The owner went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my selections. These were for a gathering, and EVERYONE thoroughly enjoyed their treat - bars and cupcakes 🧁. It's a hidden gem that I'm so glad I found!!!!“

“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!!“

“I cannot say enough good things about our wedding cake experience with The Cake Stand. I came to Lauren with a very personal request, to recreate the vintage-style wedding cakes of my late grandfathers and my husband’s parents. It was a tall order, complete with classic columns and that timeless look from generations past. Not only did she bring the vision to life, but she exceeded every expectation. The cake was absolutely stunning, more beautiful than I could have imagined, and it meant the world to both me and my husband. She honored our family history in the most special way, and I’ll never forget how meaningful that was. Thank you for making something so deeply personal feel so perfect.“

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

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

“Oh my god! I tried the hummus and tomato confit on a plain sourdough bagel and I will be thinking about it every day until I go back next weekend. Service was great, plenty of seating, and free parking. Easy stop on your way to Folly on the weekend too! They even had a cute little free library set up for kids out front. Perfect spot to bring your littles to for an outdoor meal!“

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

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

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

“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🤷🏼‍♀️“

“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“

“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.“

“The Frenchman was rude and doesn't think too highly of American women. NOW, i got a reply from 'owner' that my critique is 'inappropriate to their country (I am guessing France) and to American women? Bottom line, the male server (?cook? or ?owner?) made unnecessary snide remarks about American women (not me, lol) and behaved rudely towards me directly. -witnessed by five other adults in our party. Food was amazing. In the email response they assured me they would be able to accomodate a party of 8--and they did. But the Frenchman (and I am assuming he is French) was cocky!“

“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.“

“Pumpkin white chocolate scone was amazing. Very nice staff.“

“Best Almond croissant. Mixed Berry tart too !“

“This place feels like home. I grew up stopping by this place and it was always a treat. Some of the nicest people I’ve met run the store and the warmth they bring and the love they put into their sweets just make this place a wonderful experience.“

“Everything we've tried has been amazing. I can't wait to go again and we're from the West Coast!“

“The review in the travel magazine did not lie. The food and staff are outstanding. Definitely on the top of my GET List (Gotta Eat There)!“

“Love those biscuits and the PBS show!“
