    The bagels have definitely gotten expensive over the years, but the staff is so kind and the food is fantastic, so you can't go wrong with blondes! I'm not the biggest fan of their coffee, but I think that's personal preference as many people I know love it. Seating can fill up, especially on weekdays, but it's a great spot to have a meeting or sit and work a bit.

    We came here for a quick breakfast stop and we were not disappointed! It was busy when we walked in but we did not have to wait long to put our order in! They also do pick up orders! I ordered an egg and cheese on a wheat bagel and my husband got a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel as well! We enjoyed our breakfast sandwiches! I got tea and they have different flavors to choose from! The bathrooms are clean and they have tables inside and outside. There is parking out front and parking in the back! This is truly such a cute breakfast spot!

    My favorite hometown bagel shop! Always tasty and quick. The portions can sometimes differ based on the day but the flavors are always excellent! Love it!

    Hair

    The ladies inside were very nice and the place was relatively busy. But as soon as I opened my chicken quesadilla, I clearly saw hair. I also got a cream cheese bagel that wasn't bad but nothing crazy. Despite their being hair in my food, I would consider trying this café again.

    I don't recommend the scrambled eggs. I ordered scrambled eggs for my toddler. They look and taste horrible. Our doggie wouldn't even eat them. I also got a cinnamon roll. It was large but cold. Just basic. The cinnamon sugar bagel was tasty and they gave lots of cream cheese. My husband got an everything bagel breakfast sandwich and he says it was too salty. He never complains about salt content so it must have been pretty salty. He also ordered American cheese on his sandwich and was given cream cheese. Next time, I would just stick with the cinnamon sugar bagel, lightly toasted.

    Not too busy to work but certainly bustling at 10:00am

    The Asiago bagel with horseradish bacon cream cheese was quite passable. Not sure if it will be up to the standards of all the DI New Yorkers but I enjoyed it. There is a great aesthetic here and I got some studying done. The service was solid too. The staff actually recommended the Asiago bagel to me.

    5/5 Stars - Absolutely Incredible!…read more This spot is a total gem. We ordered a vanilla cinnamon iced latte, a cappuccino, a smoothie, a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a strawberry pop-tart, and every single item was outstanding- gluten free options too!!! The breakfast sandwich was perfect--flavorful, fresh, and served on a perfectly toasted everything bagel. The strawberry pop-tart was unreal, an elevated treat, and the drinks hit the spot. The iced latte had just the right balance of vanilla and cinnamon without being overly sweet, the cappuccino was expertly crafted, and the smoothie was incredibly refreshing. Beyond the food, the vibe here is immaculate. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the background music is great, and the workers are exceptionally friendly. It's the perfect place to kickstart your morning. We will definitely be back!

Driving in from Kiawah, I…read morestarted the hunt for a good lunch spot on the way and Yelp brought us right to Island Provisions. It is much more casual than I thought, with some of the menu (like bowls and salads) already made and ready to grab from the fridge. So happy we ended up staying because everything was fantastic. We ordered at the counter, grabbed drinks from the fridge and found a table on the side, covered patio. Food was brought out super quickly and it was absolutely delicious. I got the St. Philip pita, which was incredible and almost tasted like a halal cart chicken sandwich in the best way. It was so filling and so good. It came with a really tasty side salad. My fiance got the BLT which was just as great. I can see this being a really ideal space to bring my laptop and get some work done if I lived in the area. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a great, casual space for breakfast, lunch or coffees.

    A review posted in honor of the experience one of my friends had this past week -…read more My husband and I came to Charleston specifically for the food, and out of all the amazing meals we had, Miller's All Day was hands down our favorite. We came for breakfast and started with the banana bread with Nutella cream cheese -- absolutely incredible. We also split the cornmeal pancakes, which were so good we came back the next morning just to have them again. I ordered the B.E.C. with the home fries, and I can honestly say they may have been the best potatoes I've ever had in any form. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and they practically melted in my mouth. My husband had the turkey club and said it was fantastic as well. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and memorable. We loved it so much we went back the very next day. 10/10 -- highly recommend if you're visiting Charleston!

    Very cute spot, bright, clean and lots of space to not feel crowded…read more Server was great, was on top of it but didn't rush us. He also had a meal removed from the bill - it was brought out Luke warm unfortunately. Overall food was good everyone was happy with their choices. Burger didn't come with fries but was big enough to fill up an 18 year old boy. Salad had a great sauce, was a little thrown off with the cold waffle but it's supposed to come like that server said. The avocado toast was so good but eggs were cold unfortunately. It didn't ruin the taste so still recommend. Visited on vacation but I would go back and try other plates.

My dad got avocado toast which he said was "excellent". The beignets were very good. They were the perfect mix of crispy and fluffy in each bite.

    Popular brunch spot & a good option on Sundays when not every place is open on King's Street…read more There is a bit of a wait (could be over 30 min), depending on the size of your crowd. Our waiter was super busy & at times hard to flag down. He did a nice job of refills for the kids, but when the food came out, we literally had zero napkins and zero utensils. That is basic stuff- I shouldn't have to flag down people for when getting seated. I ended up finding another waiter who was helping to bring out our food and asking him for napkins and cutlery. The beignets here are not what you expect- think super mini ones versus the classic ones you get from Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans or other joints. We would have placed two orders of them except I knew the brunch plates would be big, and we wanted our kiddos to eat their meal before filling up on sweets. I got the Meeting plate- double portion of crab cakes on top of fried green tomatoes with grits and a huge buttermilk biscuit, where I didn't finish the biscuit and had one of our kids eat half of it. I was craving some fried green tomatoes but also wanted seafood so that worked out! My partner got the fried green tomatoes BLT and loved it. One of our kids got the chicken and waffles, another ate all of the fried chicken tenderloins, and our third really wanted buttermilk pancakes that were a hefty plate. No shortage of being hungry at this place! The food was good, but I would not say it was anything too different than any other brunch place-but for, the fried green tomatoes & other southern offerings like grits that you wouldn't get in other parts of the country. There are only two wash rooms, so there can be a wait especially when you have a long line of ladies waiting FYI. Prices are not too bad and standard for brunch so still an alternative when you are looking for fuel to fill up before doing your shopping on King's Street.

It was unique with the different flavors and textures on top that came together really nicely. Almond frangipane scone- I'm not the biggest fan of dried fruit in baked goods, but otherwise thought this was tasty and would want to get a scone/biscuit without dried fruit next time. Would recommend. Cinnamon twist- Tasty! Not mind blowing, but we enjoyed and would get again. Best friend/chocolate chip cookie- Loved that it was crispy on the outside and chewy in the center part and that it used a darker chocolate. Jam sesh- This was not our favorite and we wouldn't get it again. We just didn't think all the flavors worked together. Short + Sweet- The coffee cake was maybe a little overbaked. My friend liked it more than I did, but I didn't feel like I needed to have it again. Overall it's a good place to go with a few people and try a bunch of things and hang out!

The vibe is still effortlessly cozy and creative--flowers, greenery, unusual Christmas gifts, and those little bakery touches that make you want to linger over your latte.

I tried a couple of their seasonal items, and once again the flavors were bright, fresh, and a little unexpected in the best way. Their baked goods are still the standout--beautifully made, not overly sweet & just delicious. It's the kind of place where you can sit with a book, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy a slow morning with coffee and something delicious. Consistently great atmosphere, consistently great food, and a place that really gets better with every visit. Why did it take so long to return. I've now placed it in the top of my list for a great coffee spot.
