28 Best Bakeries in Charleston

“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“

“WildFlour is a cute, small bakery. It has a little bit of seating. Pastries look good and fresh.
We can only report on the one thing we had - the mini coconut cream pie. They clearly used good ingredients, and the pie was very light and tasty. The cream was really nice and fluffy and not too sweet. The custard was also good, but there was not enough. The crust was good and had a bit of salt, which was a nice contrast to the sweetness of the rest of it. The only improvement we could offer is to balance the custard and cream better. The cream really overwhelmed the custard and, as a result, the coconut flavor wasn't there as much as one wants when ordering coconut cream pie.“

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

“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.“

“Visited this place while visiting Charlotte. The cupcakes were really good. But the owner was a bit unpleasant. She seemed to be almost annoyed. I asked her a question and she was sharp with me. I felt unwelcome.
The young lady waiting on people was very nice.“

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

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

“My daughter and I stumbled upon this little piece of heaven. We have tried cupcakes up and down the East Coast. These are the best cupcakes ever. We got a little of everything. Definitely will be back and will be placing birthday orders. Its a hour drive, but definitely worth it.“

“The Cake Stand is absolutely awesome! We worked with Lauren to plan our wedding cake and wedding cupcakes and were so pleased with the result! She was super kind, quick to respond, and very helpful in planning which flavors go together the best. We wanted a small cutting cake, but also wanted small cupcakes for our guests to have and take home with. They were an absolute hit! Our wedding cake was exactly what we wanted. It was absolutely delicious and decorated in such a cool way! Thank you for everything, Lauren! :)

“Rhiannon was absolutely incredible to work with. Everything was so easy and seamless & tasted absolutely incredible. She truly has SO many delicious flavors that it was no easy task narrowing them down. We knew immediately after the tasting that we needed her desserts for our wedding. We had a small cutting cake with cupcakes & macarons. We are still dreaming of the whiskey caramel pecan cupcakes. She was extremely communicative and made sure any allergies/preferences were taken care of. HIGHLY recommend!“

“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!!!“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I had the best experience ordering from Amy for my sisters 21st birthday this past weekend! She was so easy to communicate with and knocked it out of the park with what I asked for! The cake was BEAUTIFUL and so perfectly detailed, also the best tasting cake ever!! I will always order from Amy when I’m In GR! Can’t recommend more!!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the most spectacular cake I have had in 10 years, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The cake was made by Get Caked Charleston, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The flavor of the cake was simply out of this world. It was perfectly moist and had just the right amount of sweetness. Every bite was an explosion of flavor, and the richness of the cake was perfectly balanced with the lightness of the frosting. Overall, I cannot say enough positive things about this cake. It was an absolute delight to eat, and I would highly recommend Get Caked Charleston to anyone who wants to experience the best tasting cake they've had in years. Thank you for creating such a wonderful cake that was the highlight of my birthday this year!“

“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!!!!“

“Oh. My. Goodness. These old-fashioned tea cookies are absolutely FABULOUS! I purchased them in several flavors from the booth at Charleston Market and then ordered a bunch more online. The Southern Sisters booth at the Charleston Market is one of my go-tos whenever I'm in Charleston. Such quality!“

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

“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“

“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.“
