    Kale Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Olivia L.

    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!

    Always a lovely place to get some work done. The food has always been good and the service is so kind. The ambiance is bright and open and includes plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's a block from colonial park lake which is a great place for a walk with your coffee and friends. My experiences here have always been enjoyable and peaceful.

    Yummy fresh food Easy / efficient service Kid friendly, cafe environment ambience Nice outdoor eating options

    Falafel pita
    John B.

    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.

    Alcove Market menu

    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.

    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

    Winter Greens Salad with crispy tofu
    Jennifer L.

    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.

    girl gab
    Rachel D.

    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!!!

    The avocado toast, brown sugar cinnamon pop-tart and a chai latte
    Emma P.

    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%.

Iced coffee was refreshing I came back the next morning for another round. It was flavorful yet not sugary. It definitely gave me a kick and got addicted to it, except I'm only in the area for 4 days. Staff and manager were friendly yet professional. Although I was charged twice, the manager assured me they would fix it once the line was manageable. Somehow I trusted her word for it, just the manner with which she handled it was text book! Indeed, saw the overcharged taken care of by the next day. A must stop in downtown historic Charleston for sure! Great awesome pastries, sandwiches Parisian style made and clean refreshing breakfast beverages. This is the best patisserie option which actually lives up to its name, unlike those wannabe k ones!!!

We've had the blueberry muffin, peach turnover, pain au chocolate, olive oil citrus muffin, banana chocolate croissant, and the macaroons. I would personally skip the macaroons - they weren't very good as far as filling and flavor went 24$ for 6 not very good cookies was disappointing. Everything else was great! And like I said coffee (all of it) is super!!

The inside of the cafe is very cozy and perfect for doing school work and some work from home stuff. The pastries were delicious as well and the drinks were the best part. They have a huge selection of coffee and they also serve beer so they have something for everyone. The drinks came out really fast considering that there were a lot of people in the event. What I liked best was that the owners seemed very supportive of the staff and very engaging towards everyone that was there. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy place for coffee in downtown!

They were so gracious to Host the Yelpies Award Ceremony this year. Bev and I use walker and did not know what to expect. As we were walking past the gated Garden Scotty C. opened the gate for us and welcomed us warmly. Jenny ( the owner) went to get a hot chocolate for Bev and a coffee for me. I was overwhelmed and yet felt connected at once. We met about a half dozen people within 5 minutes. . The atmosphere was exciting and joyful. Like a reunion for the first time. We were invited to sit at the table with lamp warmers. Right next to Nanda's Pizza spot. I saw pizza in my near future. I took a moment to look around and see everything around us. This place is fantastic. Perfect for a group to meet up. The food and drinks were exceptional. The place was clean and well lit. I decided to have my one year Yelp photo taken. It was fun. I had someone help me with the technical part. Bev and I were enjoying ourselves so much. Scotty brought our drinks to us. As people circled around they stopped to chat with us. It was lovely. The music was great! The music stopped when Scotty welcomed everyone and the formal Thank You was delivered with enthusiasm by everyone. Such a special group of people. We are so glad to be a part of the Yelpies. The celebration was palpable. Such kindness and acceptance all around. Bev and I wandered in to look around. I'm so happy we did. We met Jay and Millie by the Robots. It was amazing. They took our photo and the robot sketched it out in a Santa Christmas theme . We were able to keep the card. Johnny (the Owner) offered us a chocolate croissant.... I did not say no to that. Yummy,delicious, scrumptious, for a few words. It was a Taste Bud Party in one bite! Thank you. We also got to meet a few others behind the scenes that work there... Amelia at the Bar Cami making sandwiches Ray helping everywhere Debi at the bar Also we met Shawna Charles Toni Bev Gail Nanda Jay and Millie I recommend Kudu Coffee and Beer to everyone visiting Charleston. The value is worth every cent. Say hi to Johnny and Jenny ! Tell them the Yelpies sent you.
