I normally don’t leave reviews unless it’s either excellent or I have an issue, mostly if I have an issue. I have been here a couple times, never impressed and find we have many better options for cafes and bakeries, however was in the area and thought I would give it one more try. It is always very busy but I do not know why. Stood in line and was able to order after 10-15 minutes, unfortunately by this time it was around 11:01. I had wanted to order a few items from the breakfast menu, but was informed that I couldn’t due to 1 minute mast 11. Oh well, I guess it’s strict policy, so I ordered from the lunch menu. However I was then informed I could not order a sandwich from the lunch menu because it wasn’t ready yet. This makes zero sense, and the girl at the counter asked the manager if she could accommodate my original order considering this. They refused, fine, so I ordered the quiche and greens/grains bowl and a pastry. If everything came out edible I wouldn’t complain at this point this all was a little whatever to me, but the quiche came wet and not fully cooked. I’d imagine hard to cook properly when it’s that thick. The salad had lettuce that was brown and wilted which makes me wonder when it was even prepared. Poor care in the kitchen/preparation and not accommodating when they fail to have the menu ready but not accommodating to a minute difference says a lot. I have to leave 1 star, it’s not like they’re giving the food away either so I just have expectations when there is a lot of competition and much better options in the area. I guess if you’re a tourist and don’t know it’s easy to come here and think it’s ok or maybe not and you just don’t come back but now that I’ve had two bad experiences I will not be returning after this. I think it’s only open because of the location.

Quaint and dedicated to healthy options. Adorable restrooms. Clean and perfect spot to sit quietly or with friends. Not huge, only a few tables.

Super cute cozy cafe with ample seating. I ordered their popular butter me up biscuit sandwich and it was delicious! Service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend this to all those who love breakfast foods and they also have a huge selection of drinks to choose from. I devoured my food so there aren’t any pics.

Best biscuit sandwich I have ever had! The biscuit itself was so soft and a bit sweet. Bacon was very crispy and there was a savory green sauce that tied it all together. Coffee was very good as well. Small seating area and very busy.

We stopped in for breakfast one morning and we were very disappointed by our experience. Our coffee drinks came decently quick, but we waited quite a while for our food to arrive- at least 30 minutes. When it did arrive, my extremely dry biscuit was missing the bacon I'd added and when I asked the server she said she will check on it. When my friend asked for a knife and fork, she actually huffed. I waited around 7 minutes for the bacon to arrive, and when it did, it was floating in fat on plate. I used a napkin to get some fat off it and opened my biscuit to see what looked to be incredibly overcooked. I tasted it- it was rubber. There was the smallest amount of a green substance on the extremely dry, crumbling biscuit so it was inedible. My friend discovered her equally dry biscuit had hardly any of the compote and when she asked if she could get more, the girl said she could buy more. Which she did, but when she was given the tiny container, it was 3/4 filled with butter and a teaspoon of the compote she asked for. We won't be back and we don't recommended it for anyone.

This was the nastiest breakfast experience I have ever had in charleston. I got the avocado toast and the bread it was on was literally frozen in areas. Cold and frozen - and obviously not fresh and pulled out of the freezer. The prices they charge for food at this quality is crazy.

Loved this place. The scone and coffee were amazing. I love trying out new coffee shops and typically never go anywhere twice when on vacation, but I may have to make an exception.

Arrived on a Sunday morning around 8:10am (Harken opens at 8am) and there was a small line out the door - maybe around 4 or 5 groups ahead of us. Line moved quickly, worth the wait. Delicious freshly baked pastries - recommend the cheddar chive scone - ask to have it heated up and make sure to snag some of the honey butter!! As a baker myself I am picky about pastries - these exceeded expectations. Great coffee, cute interior with a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating available. A must try in Charleston!

The food is ok nothing mind blowing and not worth waiting for too long, finding a place to sit can be a challenge. Looks really nice inside.

Came here a couple times during my stay in Charleston. One of the best cafes in the area, coffee was great and so was the breakfast sandwich on their house made biscuit. I didn’t get any pastries but they looked outstanding. I believe they were using second state coffee beans when i went. Definitely add this to your list when you’re in the area!
