This place is absolutely delightful. My mother and I just happened by it on the way to a boutique, and we decided to peak in for a cup of coffee. We ended up sitting at a table and eating the most delicious breakfast. The atmosphere is lovely, the food was light but filling (and so flavorful), and the service was topnotch. The entire place smells and looks like a dessert lovers dream, but it is so much more. They have yummy liqueurs to put in your coffee (Baileys, please!), beautiful, freshly-baked cakes, pastries, and cinnamon rolls on display, and sweet music playing that isnt too loud. Their menu, in addition to breakfast and baked goods/desserts, also includes a wonderful tapas selection. And the prices were unbelievably reasonable. I highly recommend this place, and the next time I visit Charleston I will definitely be back!

Jaclyn created our wedding cake and it was phenomenal. We chose the vanilla cake w/ the raspberry filling, and a stucco style icing. She helped me pick the sizes based on our guest list. She was wonderful to work with and did a wonderful job setting up. She also helped me surprise my husband w/ a grooms cake. I showed her what I would like on there (Star Wars related) and she did a great job. The Grooms cake was in her cookies and cream flavor. If you like chocolate and oreos, you absolutely must get the cookies and cream. I had it for breakfast before we left for our honeymoon. :) I can not say enough about how nice it was to work with Jaclyn, or enough about how amazing her cake tasted. Try something in her adorable shop, and I am certain you will agree!

I love this place. Wife and I have been here quite a few times for coffee and dessert. I have also come by myself to have a coffee and work on my laptop. It has a really cool decor- a bit whimsical but not at all overdone. Very homely feeling unlike the sterile chain type places that are so popular. The coffee is excellent and the staff are extremely friendly. I dont always have dessert but what I have had was quite good. My favourite coffee shop in Charleston!

Came in for breakfast while having my car worked on at Geralds. The service was excellent as soon as I walked in the door! Very polite and courteous, the lady working there saw me pull out my laptop and offered me the WiFi password without me having to ask (I was just going to use my personal hotspot, so I appreciate saving the data). And the Sausage and Egg bagel was AMAZING. Highly recommend this place for breakfast!

We got our wedding cake here along with some cupcakes for the kids. The cake was amazing! It was beautiful as well as tasty. Our only complaint is the lack of communication from the owner. Every time we tried to call, someone else answered who said wed have to contact her by email, which she rarely answered in a timely fashion.

Absolutely incredible! I highly recommend this bakery for your wedding cake needs. Jaclyn is truly a talented artist that delivered to us the wedding cake of our dreams. The opera flavor is so delicious, we will probably have it for all our future birthday cakes.

The cutest little café you will find in Charleston! The desserts look divine (I didnt order any but they looked so pretty), and the coffee was delicious. Plenty of good dairy-free options. I will be back soon for one of their reservation-only tea ceremonies.

Incredible Peanut Butter Mousse dessert! The pesto mozza panini was also great, as was the cappuccino. The dessert case is a picture of deliciousness and their presentations are superb. All around a great experience.

Great breakfast, homemade cookies and pastries, amazing desserts, wonderful local art, great atmosphere. We walk here, and are so lucky to have a place like this in our neighborhood!

Girl behind the counter was super rude. We almost left and should have. Desserts were good but nothing special enough to endure such bad hospitality.

Great selection of after dinner treats. Good coffee and friendly staff. Great place for a late night top off or morning get you going.
