Heads up--it gets PACKED on weekends and sometimes even runs out of goodies, so come early. We tried the German chocolate bun and OMG--it was insane. Perfectly buttery, toasted almonds, and rich dark chocolate--it might be the best pastry I've ever had. The Butter Me Up breakfast sandwich was huge and so shareable, packed with bacon, avocado, and egg on a crumbly, buttery biscuit--pure breakfast heaven. To drink, the turmeric chai latte was hot, comforting, and refreshing all at once. Honestly, if you're in Charleston and love cozy spots with epic pastries and breakfast, Harken Cafe is a must!

I waited about 30 minutes in line, and while the service was decent, it felt very rushed once I finally ordered.

We chose…read morea Brittany breakfast crepe (ham, egg, and cheddar, $16) and a sweet John's Island crepe (bananas, brown sugar, brown butter, $9). Both were generous with fillings, great flavor, and carefully cooked (so easy to burn a crepe....) I also got a lunch special, which was a reuben with cabbage and potatoes as sides. I do not remember the price, but this was a real meal. The bread held up well, the sides were well seasoned, and I enjoyed every bite. Coffee (self serve) was good quality and they made sure the pot was never empty. Service was from the counter and was genuinely friendly. They were all part of the casual atmosphere. The place is relaxed and has a real neighborhood vibe. We ate many great meals during our stay in Charleston, many fancy and some low key. Queen Street stands out as the most pleasant of surprises.

My wife told the waitress she didn't like it because it had no flavor and the waitress said that's the French way. From my experience in Paris that is not true.

It's tucked into a cute neighborhood and was super close to our Airbnb, making it an easy stop while exploring the city. We ordered the Italian Girl and split it since we had a full day of eating planned ahead of us. Honestly, I think it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, the ingredients were high quality, and it was beautifully put together. The burrata really made the sandwich feel special and took it to another level. Every bite was packed with flavor without feeling heavy. It's one of those meals that sticks with you long after your trip is over. I'm still dreaming about this sandwich and will absolutely be back the next time I'm in Charleston.

The staff is extremely friendly and service is always quick. My favorite grab and go lunch item is the chicken salad with crackers -- it tastes great!

The Black Door Cafe is a lil cafe located inside the Mills House Hotel…read more I came here looking for a quick spot with wifi and to grab lunch (+ a matcha, of course). It was easy to find and there was seating both outside and inside the hotel. There was able seating and very easy to put in an order at the register. I tried out one of their seasonal specials- the matcha breeze which had matcha, coconut water, pineapple-passionfruit cold foam, served iced. I also got a little pastry. Both weren't too great unfortunately so I ended up tossing both. The matcha was too sweet and the flavors didn't really compliment each other. Not an ideal spot for matcha. The space itself, however, was a great spot to work from. I took a quick meeting here and there was a fair amount of seating inside the cafe.

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.

Overall, I definitely be open to coming back to try different dishes to give a proper food review.

One of the oldest in Charleston and super cute from the outside in. I also love that they named the place after their loyal pupper dog. For my taste, Poogan's makes one of the best shrimp and grits I've ever had. They also have phenomenal she crab soup, pimento cheese fritters with bacon jam, and collards. My friends got the fried chicken which I hadn't had before and the fry was literally perfect. Not too thick but a major crunch. We will continue to bring our friends and family here when showing them downtown.
