Went with old faithful, the Kale Chicken Caesar salad which was delicious as always! Two mistakes though. I placed the order for dine in and it was in a to go box. When I went to take it out of the bag, the lid on my salad wasn't secured which could have resulted in a huge mess. Secondly, the blonde woman who called my name, Jacqueline, kept saying Jack a leen, so to be sure I said "Is this a Kale Caesar Salad for Jacqueline?" Her response was that's a really weird way to spell Jacqueline. I've never met an employee at Alcove or anywhere else in Charleston who was that rude and clueless! read more

Very cute, trendy lunch spot in Charleston! I really loved the kale chicken caesar wrap; super flavorful and filling. This was originally offered as a salad that you could have the option of switching to a wrap! I also had the cold brew smoothie, which was good but I think next time I'd try something different. It was very hard to get a seat here despite being after the lunch hour, but overall enjoyed trying something new! read more

Great location, friendly staff, and a delicious menu. This is a great stop for breakfast, coffee, or lunch. When the weather is nice, sitting on the patio is a great spot to enjoy your meal or a drink. read more

I ordered El Padre wrap the other day for lunch. Breakfast all day, right? It has chorizo in it, which I love, and is warm and toasty. Each bite is a burst of flavor. I ordered on the app to pickup on location, and upon walking in my wrap was already ready for me. Great service. I work nearby, so this is a regular stop for me. read more

An upscale shop which is part of a large development towards the southern end of Charleston. I ordered takeout and found it ready on my arrival. However, the falafel wrap I ordered didn't look anywhere near as impressive as the one posted here previously. It came with some kettle chips and don't get me wrong it was tasty falafel, but also pricey. There's a time and a place for it, for sure, but if my goal was to get the best falafel I'd go somewhere cheaper, and if I wanted a fancy food outlet and marketplace, Mercantile and Mash had this place beat by far on selection, ambiance, and the quality of food. read more

Alcove Market is a gourmet market and cafe that has recently opened in the Harleston Village area of downtown Charleston...the business is open for breakfast and lunch and will serve fresh salads and sandwiches. This type of establishment has been long awaited for and will be a great addition to the Beach Company's main offices and The Jasper Apartments. The cafe style environment features freshly prepared items as well as "grab and go" items. Tables and booths ~ cafe style~ line the inside in the event you would like to have more of a leisurely breakfast or lunch. There is a large open and airy outdoor patio with plenty of tables. Alcove Market is a fine place for gathering with friends/ meeting for a quiet business lunch /or for "on-the-run" quick take-out. A nice part about this eatery is that it is off the beaten track and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and all that goes along with that scene ...namely the busyness and noise of the main districts downtown and the inconvenience of having to find a parking space!!! Alcove Market is branding itself as a "gourmet market" as well and has included a retail section offering high quality specialty foods and an ample selection of international wines for sale. The design space was done by an award winning NYC based architectural and interior design firm so I am eager to stop by and enjoy all that Alcove Market & Cafe has to offer and to welcome this new business to the Charleston food and beverage community! Look for Alcove Market on the ground floor at 310 Broad Street, Suite 155. Parking is plentiful along Barre Street. Hours: 7am-7pm. *Food photos to follow after opening day on February 8,2023. **New updated photos as of February 9,2023. read more

Love it here! Food is always delicious and fresh. Great location by the water with good vibes

Alcove is located on the side of The Jasper. It's a convenient stop if you're in the Colonial Lake area. It has coffee, breakfast and lunch food, and some to-go options/some groceries as well. It has both indoor and outdoor seating and it is dog friendly! It reminds me a lot of Fox Trot for those of you familiar with that one (DC, Dallas, Austin, Chicago areas). We stopped here for lunch the other day and got the winter greens salad (winter greens, strawberries, walnuts, Gorgonzola, creamy dill dressing) with crispy tofu and the Colonial Lake sandwich. The bacon jam on the sandwich was very good. The salad felt a little expensive for what it was, but I am glad they had tofu as an option for protein and it was very crispy. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way necessarily, but it definitely satisfies a craving for a healthy breakfast/lunch spot close to Colonial Lake. Mid day on a weekday there was some seating left both indoor and outdoor but also enough people that it felt lively. The staff members working that day were very kind and friendly. They brought the food out to us when we were seated outside. read more

Great choice for coffee and amazing avocado toast! Prices a bit high but cool atmosphere, good service, and overall favorable experience.

I really enjoyed the outdoor seating. Good, relaxing soft seating with umbrellas to get some shade. My iced matcha latte was delicious and it came out super quick. The staff was very nice and overall it was a quick, relaxing experience. My friend loved her iced chai latte too read more

this is the place we needed, but definitely don't deserve. Alcove is THE SPOT. first off, Alcove is walking distance from my house, so yeah, i think i go at least once a week now. me and my roomies frequently do our girl gab catch ups here. my gal pal roomie does not look very happy here but that quickly changed after she got her morning coffee. Their lattes are smackin, and I love that they even have a large size- because who ever really gets enough coffee in the morning? okay my next rave is the coffee cake. it is absolutely delectable and i almost cried the first time i had it. I am on a sugar detox and i miss eating this divine pastry with my morning coffee. why is it so good?? You think you're just getting a run of the mill coffee cake but, NO, it's cream filled. I mean c'mon. staff here is really nice and they always bring my coffee out to me with a smile. everyone should be smiled at once a day i think. Love it!!! read more

Ordered breakfast and coffee for the family. The coffee order came in a little messed up, so I called to let them know. I was greeted by the hostess. When I asked to speak to a manager, she immediately changed her tone and proceeded to NOT put me on mute (although she likely thought she did). What was said was rude--definitely not something meant for me to hear. The phone was then placed on hold until the manager answered. At that point, I didn't even care about the messed-up coffee order. When I expressed my absolute disgust with their customer service and told the manager she should properly train her staff on how to mute the phone before talking badly about a customer calling with a complaint, she responded by saying, "My staff are trained to my standards," and then hung up the phone. Pathetic. This used to be a weekly Uber Eats spot for me, but Alcove has lost my business! read more

Cute spot. Convenient location with a lot of space. I purchased 1 juice and a salad with chicken and it was $36... which is far too high. I understand they are playing off of the location, but in my opinion it is priced too high for what's offered. As for quality of the food ... the juice was good. A normal juice. The salad was good - however, there were a ton of croutons and not much chicken at all. In addition, it seems like there was some kind of seasoning on it (almost seemed like everything but the bagel seasoning), but there was way too much and it was super salty. Croutons didn't have flavor. A couple tiny pieces of avocado Service was fine. You just order at the counter, they give you a number, and then bring your food to you when it's ready. Pretty cut and dry. read more

I heard really great things about this place. I went today to get a matcha, and it tasted extremely artificial. I shouldnt have to pay for $7.50 for a matcha made with torani syrup read more

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%. read more

Cutest market / cafe ever! I went to Pilates next door and popped in for a water and snack after and alcove was perfect for that! The staff was so friendly and the lemon poppy seed muffin I had was incredible. It was a cafe and a market that sold healthy snacks, juices, drinks, wine and craft beer - it would be the perfect place to stop to pick up items for a picnic! read more

Came with a large group, with kids. Waitresses were fantastic in dealing with us. lol. Food was great and we left so happy and full! Can't wait to try to prepared frozen foods we bought at the market for a dinner. read more

Food was very good. We missed breakfast by arriving at 11:30 am. Several nice salads to choose from. Counter service was efficient. A newer place built into The Jasper building. Limited inside seating and a good amount of outside seating. On Broad so there is some traffic but you sit off the road and you can see the Ashley River withe sailboats passing for a pleasant ambiance. read more

Ordered the El Padre breakfast burrito which was good, but overpriced for the small portion. I also got the coffee cake (warmed up!) which was really good. read more

A much needed cafe in Harleston Village! It is below the Jasper and across from Colonial lake. Coffee is delicious and they have dairy alternatives. The food is primarily vegetarian and vegan. Staff has always been nice. Also some food to grab- wine, cheese, pastas. Great addition to the neighborhood. Indoor and outdoor seating and parking in the garage. read more
