“This place is the absolute BEST! We stopped in every single day on our recent trip. The staff is incredibly kind, they made a baby chai for our little girl and she was so pleased to have her own cup. My husband loved the vegan cinnamon rolls (he can’t eat eggs), they’re huge and it’s nice that part of the proceeds go to a local charity. Yes, it can be busy at times and is a small space but it’s a tourist town so what do you expect. Earlier is obviously less busy.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options. Alternative milks.“
“Went for breakfast and got a Cuban breakfast sandwich with ham and a cafe con leche and it was absolutely delicious! Love the plants in the window and the bird of paradise wallpaper. Great place for a quick bite before sightseeing in the city!“
“We loved our experience here at Cru Cafe. Sally our server was excellent! Her smile and charm at so much to the atmosphere. I loved that they had a non alcoholic beverage too. The beer choices were excellent for our party too. The champagne drink was good tooParking: Easy peasy“
“When you are a local in this town it's always tough to find somewhere to feel at home and loved. There are so many options to choose from and so many places don't care about customer relations. Kudu is not one of them. They all smile when i walk in, greet me with a hello and even better i can tell they all like and appreciate one another. It does feel like home and i do feel loved.“
“We both had a drip coffee with room for milk. The oat milk was a very strange consistency and had a weird curdling effect in our coffee. The drip coffee was okay. It was a medium/dark roast and I prefer lighter roasts so it may have just not been the coffee for me.We had a very very delicious cookie. Highly recommend getting something from the pastry case. The food that was coming out looked amazing. We just weren’t looking to eat at that time. We do plan on visiting again to try food.The actual place is unique inside and has a nice vibe to it. The bathroom is clean and decorated with the cutest posters of plant and fungi anatomy. There are not very many seats but we were still able to get one. They also have seating outside which does compensate for not having that much inside.The girl that helped us at the counter was so sweet and friendly. We look forward to coming here again in the future to try other things.“
“So happy to have this shop in West Ashley. Their baguettes in croissants are such a treat and not that I’m an expert, but seem true to European standards, if not better than my memories. As expected at the end of the the day they were out of most pastries, so I grabbed a coffee cake and simple egg & cheese on baguette. My 2 yr old was getting fussy, so as was going to tell him I have to go to the car, the kind cook read my mind. He offered to bring it to me. Simplicity made heavenly. I haven’t tried the coffee cake yet bc my daughter hasn’t let me have a bite. Lol looks delicious tho!“
“I don’t go all the time because I don’t like spending money like that but I really like it here. I don’t love talking I just grab my tea give a nod and take a sip and give a thumbs up it’s an introverts dream. It’s never wrong so I never have to say anything.It’s nice to have somewhere so peaceful next to work. Makes me remember I’m human again or something.“
“Alcove just turned one and having this market has been such a fun add on to the downtown Charleston area. The location is perfect for the concept, connected to the jasper, you have colonial lake right there so the perfect walk to end an amazing meal or grab a coffee to go on the walk around the lake. They have little trinkets and items to buy but also an amazing menu to choose from. A classic for me is the avacado toast the pickled onions are something I crave on a classic avacado toast, it's definitely filling. I've also tried their breakfast burrito which has become a new favorite. The chorizo is fire and the right about of spice, ate it all and it was huge. I bring a friend every time I come. A fan favorite is also the breakfast sandwich which you can specialize! They have a couple seating in side but a patio with umbrellas. It does get busy but it has a quick turn over. The chai latte is amazing I've gotten it a few times now and will be back for more of it. Perfect blend in it, they have lots of milk or non dairy choices but I usually get it with 2%.“
“So worth the trip out here on our way out of town. The biscoff stuffed french toast special was divine. Im huge griits fan and the make your own grits bowl was a hit. Tasty turkey bacon. Service was quick and friendly. Stop here. You will be happy“
“My heart now belongs to the breakfast burrito at Atlyss! I want it every day! Be sure to also try everything else and don’t forget the different protein/energy bites… so tasty! Love how all ingredients are as locally sourced as possible. My body and mind always feel better after I enjoy a meal from Atlyss!“
“Wonderful cakes in a lovely atmosphere. We are on vacation in Charleston, and started our day here to celebrate my daughters birthday. This was a great choice, they have birthday standard cakes, and gave me candles for our celebration ?.Parking: Next door to a city run parking lot, same rate as street parking.“
“Love this place!!! So happy we have a location on John's Island now! Suyin is knowledgeable, friendly, inviting and sweet. I enjoy visiting her for my weekly pick me ups! I was skeptical of Herbalife before i tried it, but now I'm very much a believer in their products! I love the protien shakes and the cake pops. I always feel great and never feel bloated or too full. One day I came in super dehydrated and drained after a crossfit class and she knew exactly what to give me. I felt immediately better with the rapid hydration drank she gave me. I love this place! Go check them out!!“
“I come here as often as I can to either get the chai or matcha tea. It is amazing along with their customer service, they always make you feel welcomed. I don't even like most vegetables but their Veggie Panini changed my mind. Maccaro is also a great place to sit down and study, they encourage it!“
“Fri nights are the best! They have wine tasting, a special menu, anything from the case can go on to the green egg & very friendly service! But overall it's a very cute neighborhood spot with a butcher shop, selection of cheese, wine, frozen options for meat & pasta and other accompaniments“
“Really liked the relaxed atmosphere of the cafe. Service was pretty quick. Bit confusing where to order because people were standing around waiting for their order. I ordered sticky bun pastry and a latte. The sticky bun had lots of pecans. Really buttery and flaky. Very large so I had a hard time eating it all but I powered through because it was so delicious! Latte was as I expected. This is a great place to stop while checking out the museums in downtown Charleston. Cafe is attached to Mills House Hotel.“
“This may be the best coffee around. The iced cold brew latte is perfection with smooth and strong coffee, coffee ice cubes!!, and perfect amount of sweetness (not overly sweet :)Not to mention the breakfast bagel sandwich, which is deeelishhhh!!“
“You order at the counter which I guess is fine for a pho place. However our food did not come out at the same time. 3 bowls of pho should be simple. The bowl with just meat and noodles took longer oddly enough.The broth was very good. A little fatty but flavor was excellent. My only problem was the size. For a 16.95 bowl of pho I expect to be full when I'm done. There was not enough of anything in the bowl for my liking.“
“This is one of the best places on the MUSC campus. This is operated by a husband and wife combo. Jose are Wendy are the best. They know all of their regulars on a first name basis, and its remarkable that they can remember everyone's names. This place is 10/10!“
“Literally the perfect little breakfast spot we weren’t expecting. We wanted a pet friendly breakfast place nearby so we headed over to three little birds and I was surprised to see huevos rancheros on the menu. Cooked perfectly nothing greasy or over cooked, perfect portions, fresh ingredients. Perfect red salsa-sour cream ratio. The coffee was delicious. If I lived here and not just passing by, I’d be a regular for sure.“
“Hands down one of the best places we’ve gotten breakfast on any vacation. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was great, and so was the music! I had the crab cake Benedict & my husband had the country fried steak Benedict. 10/10 recommended.“
“Went to Charleston for a quick weekend getaway, Penninsula Grill was the perfect date night experience! Our server Jacob was so knowledgeable about wine pairings with our menu options and had the kindest personality, he made the already great experience absolutely memorable. We will absolutely go back on our next visit to the low country! The food was a culinary display of expertise!“
“I love this place! My church is in the same shopping center, and a bunch of us go over after church for the most delightful lunches. I love the bialys (toasted with butter, mmm) and the French press coffee but many of my friends swear by the salmon lox bagel sandwich. I'm also on Blazing Star's challah list - their challah bread is SO delicious. But the very best part is the staff: we all adore Bettina (co-founder) and everyone who works there is wonderful. Just the best place to enjoy a relaxed conversation with friends (and the staff!) while cared for by the kindest staff ever. Highly recommended!Wheelchair accessibility: We took a friend to lunch here and he had no problem at all maneuvering around in his wheelchair.“
“What a great little find. Extremely friendly and courteous and the coffee was delicious. The decor is very comfortable and has a very nice 'soft' 'calm' feeling about it. It took me by surprise actually as it's in a strip mall and I was expecting just a generic coffee shop. Whoever designed it and runs it....well done!“
“A great little "upscale feel" spot for coffee and a lite bite. Great location on Meeting Street. I would have liked the roaster Intelligentsia to remain but they now serve the Starbucks brand, which was a disappointment. Breakfast and lunch options are available including healthy bites, salads and sandwiches. The outdoor courtyard has seating "under the trees" and is also a nice relaxing area to have a glass of vino mid afternoon!I like the fact that you will be served your coffee in a basic white porcelain cup if staying and not in a paper cup! There are just enough touches to make you feel like you are in more of an elegant cafe setting.The service is friendly and accommodating. The Food and Beverage Manager Patrick circulates around the cafe areas and will ensure that you are totally satisfied.“
“I go to Lillie Fuel weekly, sometimes daily and am always satisfied with my order. Their Veggie sausage breakfast sandwich is one of my favorites. I always buy extra protein muffins (chocolate chip is my favorite) and leave some in the car and at home for quick snacks throughout the same or before a morning workout. Highly recommend them for kids and adults of all ages!Dietary restrictions: Almost all dietary restrictions can be accommdatedParking: Parking lot in front of store.“
“I’ve been in many coffee shops around my life, but there’s something about Clerks that just makes it THE place to go for coffee in Charleston.Baristas are super nice! Specially Haley, that day I couldn’t tip (money’s running low) but she was still so nice! Came the next month to tip her double for the same incredible coffee!Cannot recommend this place enough! 10/10“
“This restaurant is an absolute must!! I’m so glad that we have them outside of NOLA!! The service is excellent and the food is the absolute best!! Love love love this place!! Hoping we could get ‘some’ in the Fayetteville and Raleigh areas of NC.“
“Such a great idea! So happy there’s an amazing cafe and wine bar out there with cats from shelters to give love to and adopt! The staff are very friendly and nice to talk to, great place overall! We need more places like this around to help cats find their home and to have a space to roam and be loved onin replacement to them being in a small kennel at a animal shelter“
“Great little place right over the bridge into Folly beach. Parking is fairly limited but we found a spot pretty quickly. The food was good and arrived pretty quickly and for lunch time on a gorgeous day the wait was about 30 minutes for 3 people.“
