What a great spot on James Island! I've driven past this place so many times and had no idea how big it was inside until finally stopping for a quick coffee with a friend a couple of weeks ago! I ended up going back today for coffee/breakfast with my laptop and iPad to get some work done and I'm so happy I did. The food is soooo yummy (I had a grit bowl today, but have also had some of the to go croissants when someone brought them to my house) and I love the coffee drinks! I'm a sucker for the lavender honey latte. A great spot to get some work done, meet a friend for a coffee, or even pick up reallllly inexpensive to go options! read more

This is one of my favorite places on James Island. The service is quick and the folks that work here are great. I typically take my orders to go, but the interior redesign looks great and they have outdoor seating as well. Highly recommend eating in! My favorite sandwich is the recovery baguette. It's really large for the price and all the ingredients are incredible. A top 5 breakfast sandwich for me of all time! I also love the pastries here, especially when they do fun pop tarts. read more

A delightful breakfast and lunch cafe - on your way to the beach kind of place - which will promise to jump start" your beach day for sure! Between the freshly brewed coffee, breakfast plates, sandwiches and bakery items ~ Baguette Magic will definitely delight even the pickiest breakfast enthusiasts! The cafe' is housed in a generously sized space on Folly Road with indoor and outdoor seating (good thing for weekend overflows) and includes some counter seating and community tables as well. Walk up to place your order but while waiting in line don't forget to glance into BM's display case as the pastry choices will be hard to resist! I ordered the Two Egg plate with fruit and a side of home fries. Make sure to tack on a side of home fries! In trying to keep things a little on the healthier side I was pleased to see the generously sized fruit serving that accompanied the egg plate. The fruit was freshly created and not overripe! Already anticipating my next visit ~ I will try the Half Brioche French Toast with Berries! Need I say more? 5 stars!! read more

Oh my Lordy lord! It may be Halloween but there were no tricks, just treats at Baguette Magic. I was recommended this joint by my dear coworker who does nothing but gush about the breakfast sandwiches so I HAD to see what was up. I came here on a somber Sunday with my very bestiest friend after a night of wandering around in search of a Halloween function that would not be shut down. We were warmly greeted even though we look like brutes with makeup smeared on our faces. Anywayzzz we got breakfast sammies and coffee. I got the BEC on a baguette and my gopher girl got the BEP on a croissant. When we sat down they were playing Jeff Buckley so I knew things were about to get real. I was about to have an emotional experience. At first I was regretting my baguette choice because her croissant looked so scrummy but noooo. No no no I made the correct choice. Simplicity. Buttery. Savory. I love. I need. I crave. We just danced and sang and munched and gabbed and danced. read more

Came in on a Sunday after a work out class right around noon and they were poppin! I love the variety of their menu and went with the caprese sandwich but changed my bread to sourdough as I've been craving it lately. Now, I know there was a ton of people there so I was prepared to wait the second I walked in the door, but what I wasn't prepared for was the shortage of arugula on my sandwich...completely. Probably one of the big draws of me to a sandwich without meat, being a meat eater was literally every single part of the sandwich as it is so well thought out. Will this deter me from coming back? Probably not. But you can definitely bet I will be opening my box 100% of the time before leaving to make sure my $14+ sandwich has every darn thing on it. read more

We Decided to stop here on the way to the beach on Saturday morning. I Was really looking forward to trying baguette magic because I had heard a lot about it and their social media really projects a lot of the fat fresh pastries sandwiches and other goodies. Once got there, there was a line to order, but it moved pretty quickly and was able to place my order to go. I did ask for a couple different requests of my sandwich so I knew it might take a little bit longer. after waiting about 25 minutes, ended up going up the counter and realized I was never giving a buzzer for my sandwiches. Come to find out that the sandwiches were given to another customer and so they had to remake them upset about it because I wasn't in a rush, but I could tell there was a lot of tension behind the counter and that made me feel very uncomfortable. For my sandwich I had ordered the turkey bacon Swiss on sourdough. I asked for no bacon, but double turkey and put the aïoli sauce on the side. I was not getting double turkey and I never received the sauce on the side and I'm not sure if that's just because of what was going on behind the counter, but I was really underwhelmed by the sandwich. I honestly am not sure if I would go back just because the environment just rubbed me the wrong way and I really wasn't impressed with the sandwich itself. read more

For the month of November I read food themed books. For one of my books, I decided to visit Baguette Magic (because the book is Life from Scratch with rolling pins on the cover so I wanted to go to a bakery). The atmosphere here was lovely. The food was fantastic as was the coffee. I had a vanilla latte and my husband had a mocha. He is VERY picky about his mochas. There is one local place that makes his favorite and everywhere else just doesn't compare for him....until we came here. He loved it. I also very much enjoyed my vanilla latte. We each ordered a croissant and they were perfectly flaky and delicious. We also split a strawberry pop tart and it was perfection. We even took one home for our kid and she loved it. I took home some sourdough bread and enjoyed it. My only complaint is it's so far! We live in Summerville and it's a 40+ minute drive for us I'd love to visit again, maybe for lunch next time! read more

The food was so good! I got a latte and their BEC sandwich on a baguette and it was so good, tasted very fresh and filling for a good price! Everyone was so nice and the vibes were very welcoming. Something that I especially loved was the efforts to reduce plastic waste in their packaging! I got my order to go and it was all paper based products with compostable cups! I love supporting a business that cares about the environment and has quality items! Thank y'all for such a great breakfast experience! read more

We came here for a lunch date and it was absolutely amazing! We had the log cabin latte and WOW it was amazing. We also both got the recovery baguette and it really hit the spot. The service was very excellent and friendly. Can't wait to come back and have another log cabin latte! read more

This place has a fabulous pastry counter and now that I've tried several, my go to is the tomato pie on a croissant crust. The croissants here are up there with the best. Don't skip the market next door to the cafe. Their chicken pot pie comes frozen for you to bake at home. It's like grandmas! read more

Ok, new owners since I was here last time. Still, order, pay, sit, they bring to you. Very fresh food and plenty of it. Egg sandwiches tasty, many many options. My only peeve is that the music is very loud, although it's oldies, so I can put up with it. Good place to go, so go. Frank G read more

Baguette Magic is a go to for breakfast and brunch. You can't go wrong with anything. The BEP on a croissant is my all time favorite with the seasonal salad and a coffee. Everything is very fresh and excellent quality. The staff are always kind and helpful. I occasionally come in for a pop tart or coffee cake which never disappoint. read more

Found Baguette Magic on my search for a good croissant in the area. I didn't find a good croissant, I found a great one! This place was great and I was saddened by the fact we didn't get to have it more than once (closed Mondays). Fresh, buttery, flavorful croissants that are reasonably priced. The ham and cheese croissant was also delicious. All paired with friendly service. I loved this place and I would recommend for a nice and quick breakfast option that won't break the bank. ENJOY!!! read more

It's been months and months and the coffee program is still terrible, which would be fine if they weren't making claims otherwise. $30 for a cup of coffee and breakfast bowl Cortado served under extracted and with 8-10 ounces of very wet steamed milk. But don't fret, it had latte art ‍ Most notably is their pastry. Least notably is the coffee and break the bank prices. read more

Very authentic French bakery with fresh ingredients and warm southern hospitality! I'm never starving at breakfast time but I know my body needs something light yet sustainable to get me going for a few hours. I was overly satisfied with my croissant sandwich here! In fact, I had ordered it to go because the environment wasn't totally my style and I wanted to eat on the beach, but when it arrived it smelled so enticing I told myself "I'll eat half right now and save the rest for the beach." That didn't happen.. it was gone in minutes! I ordered the turkey and brie croissant sandwich but switched out one common menu ingredient for arugula. It was the perfect mix of textures and flavors! The croissant was, of course, the best part. So warm, flaky and almost melt in my mouth. I was a little hesitant to spend $7 on a little croissant breakfast but after liking my fingers clean realized it was well worth the price. They don't serve espresso drinks here just black house coffee, which I was a little bummed about because whenever I think of an authentic French breakfast I think pastries and espresso but maybe in their future?! There's plenty of parking and seating for family size groups. A somewhat minimal menu but filled with great options. Give it a shot, at least for a pastry on the go! read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch and were so impressed that we almost came back a second time during our trip! It was quick and convenient, we walked up to the counter and placed our order which then arrived to our table freshly prepared just minutes later. The tables had bottles of hand sanitizer on them as well as laminated signs designating whether a table had been used or was sanitized and ready to be seated. Diners just flipped the sign over and the tables were cleaned between use, but there is a trash can and station near the back wall where the tables can be self bussed and dishes placed in a pan. They had a fruit infused iced tea that was fresh brewed and super flavorful without being overly sweet. It was so good that I asked for a refill to go which they graciously offered! We split a club sandwich which ended up being an even more plentiful serving than we had hoped. The slices of bread were definitely the star of the show and they were layered with turkey, bacon and cheese amongst other things that made every bite better than the last. Also got a side of pasta salad which ended up being pesto based which wasn't what we were expecting but was very tasty! The pesto looked a little thick and dry but was surprisingly creamy and great paired with the pasta and nuts. Parking is plentiful which is convenient, especially considering they have parking on both sides of the building. There isn't a sidewalk from one side to the other but the path alongside the building is very well worn if you have to walk to their front/main/only entrance from the backside parking. read more

It was great. I have had several of the pop tarts to go in the past and they are lovely. We were on our way back from the beach and I had a hankering for a pop tart and wanted my wife to have the experience as well. She sadly had never had one but now she can't say that. We got there, got in a pretty short line and was served within minutes and were on our way. Got home and indulged ourselves. Yum! read more

Baguette Magic has completely transformed this year-- and I am loving it! With amazing delivery service, specialty items in their "market" area, and the delicious food from the bakery (like the cruffins and the sandwiches!)... everything is wonderful.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BAKERY. I love Baguette Magic with my entire being. I have the hardest time making a decision on what to order every time I'm there. I usually convince whoever I am with to split a sweet treat with me in addition to a breakfast sandwich. The cruffins (croissant/muffin) are a too favorite of mine - they have rotating flavors weekly and I've loved each one better than the last. My go to breakfast sandwich is the Recovery Baguette, because anything with prosciutto is always a win. They do get super busy on the weekends, so consider ordering ahead! This is all from the James Island location, but they recently opened downtown as well read more

Very very good and tasty. I will come back nice service sweet people. Great environment. read more

Wow. This place exceeded my expectations. I got the BEP on croissant (the thin crispy potatoes and aioli so good!) and the honey lavender latte - they even sell their coffee syrups. Both were amazing! if I lived closer I would probably come here multiple times a week. I always laugh when I see reviews questioning costs. To get quality ingredients and foods, especially pastries - it may cost more but I didn't notice the prices being abnormal. read more

Baguette Magic is truly magic. Their croissants are especially incredible but I've never been disappointed by anything here. Standard go to is the BEC sandwich on a croissant- egg, cheese, bacon, and garlic aioli and I always upgrade to it on a croissant (standard is a baguette, I believe). They have fun and delicious pastries- homemade pop tarts, tomato pie, and chocolate croissants being some of our favs. Coffee is great, which is always a plus for a bakery. The inside has spacious seating so there's plenty of room if you want to hang out and eat or take your food to go. Heard they just opened another location downtown! We adore this spot on JI and hope they never leave us! read more

yum!!!!! when the line is out the door, you know you've come to the right spot. the line did not lie. we ordered on line which seem to guarantee we got what we wanted because even at 10 am they are running out of things. i got a recovery baguette, and my husband got the hangover grits bowl. both were piping hot and full of flavor. we also had to try some of the pastries. we ordered a strawberry pop tart that put kellogg's to shame! light, flakey and just fabulous. we also got an almond croissant-and that is never bad! we ordered a maple pecan cruffin-but that's going to have t o wait till later. if you're in charleston, take a few minutes and drive over to folly beach for breakfast. you won't be disappointed! read more

Love this place. Great menu, tasty options. Only wish they were open more days of the week. Such good baguettes.

Visiting from Atlanta and stumbled upon this place as it was down the street from our AirBnB...what a great find! So great we may have come in every morning of our trip We tried a wide variety of items (tomato pie, almond croissant, caramel apple cruffin, avocado toast, kouign amann...currently waiting for a BEP and some French toast) and everything we tried was outstanding. We tried 3 different lattes (honey lavender, pumpkin spice and almond mocha) with the honey lavender being the best, hands down, so don't sleep on that! This place took me completely off my diet for our trip, but so worth it for people commenting on the prices, this place does high quality, hand crafted bakery goods. You can even watch them making it. It's well worth the effort that they put in and I look forward to visiting again next time we are in the area! read more

Baguette Magic is an example of supply and demand. Being one of the only breakfast places on James Island, it's been able to stay open and busy, but neither the service, not the food is good. The BEC was almost inedible. The croissant was soggy due to the excessive amount of garlic aioli. The Recovery Baguette lists arugula as an ingredient, but they instead use cheap radicchio (purple) lettuce that sullies the taste of the entire sandwich. The baguette was soft and the eggs and bacon on both sandwiches were cold and greasy. We waited over 25 minutes for our to go order of these two sandwiches. Our original order was mistakenly picked up by someone else because no one monitors the pick up area. The restaurant was hot and packed with people. I would never recommend Baguette Magic and I will never go back. read more

So cute! This has been in my list of places to try and finally I got over to James Island to this authentic gem. Service: I was greeted immediately and seated myself at the counter. The owner and her staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food: I ordered the egg sandwich on a croissant with onions and peppers with a side of fresh fruit. The croissant was flaky and buttery and even with the vegetables added to the eggs it didn't weigh it down, nor was it greasy. The fruit was presented well, some of the melon was a little mushy but good overall. Overall great experience, definitely worth the drive! read more
