Ok, confession. I didn't actually eat here, but wanted to come and say these guys have the BEST Sweet Potato cupcakes. We had these sweet little confections at a wedding and wow, everyone was impressed. I can't wait to come back and try the food, but don't skip on the sweet potato cupcakes. You won't regret its fluffy, moist, not-too-sweet, perfection. Thank you, Brick Street Cafe for being the sweet way to end our evening. read more

Friendly service, consistent food quality and the best sweet potato cake in the land! There is ample parking although the parking tends to get busy during peak lunch hours. There are two flights of stairs to get to the entrance door and I did not see an elevator. The inside is neatly decorated and they had live music when we went which was a nice touch during lunch. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but their soup and open face grilled cheese hit the spot on a colder day. Make sure to try one of their famous cakes- I recommend sweet potato! The cream cheese icing is the best I've had. read more

This place is a Greenville STAPLE. True locals know! Shrimp and grits are good. But the true gem of this place is cakes: especially the sweet potato cake. You will never find a better one. Truly AMAZING. We bring it for holidays to my in-laws in Louisiana bc they crave it (and they're surrounded by good food). read more

Brick Street Cafe - Chocolate and sweet potato cake (the best) - Southern Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Made my first visit and it was a great one. Had the Turkey Rachel which is turkey on marbled rye that was lightly toasted with Swiss, walnut slaw and Russian dressing. Outstanding! I've only found this sandwich at a few places over the years and this was the best one. Got a side salad which was solid and then a piece of coconut cake. Then I went into a happy coma. Loved the decor, the ambiance and the vibe. Everyone talks about the desserts and deservedly so but the food was excellent this time too . read more

I saw this place from an IG influencer and had to try it. I actually have not been able to stop thinking about it since I saw her post. Ordered their chicken salad melt with pasta salad, the sweet potato cake and chocolate bundt cake. So the chicken salad sandwich was not great. So mediocre and at 14.00 really could have been better. They were not kidding when they said "a scoup of salad" It's a tiny amount of chicken salad and the crossiant is more like a roll. Not a flakey buttery crossiant like you would expect. They placed the sandwich right on top of the pasta salad instead of placing in a seperate container (which was weird). The Sweet potato cake was So over-hyped. It was just okay. Super moist yes, but nothing else could be said about it. The chocolate bundt cake I don't recommend at all. Overall, kinda disappointed. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, maybe it was an off day? It's not some place I will need to visit again. read more

Food was great. Enjoyed the love muffin along with grilled cheese and tomato soup. Then, there was the dessert. I ordered the paddy cake to go. I'm mid eating it right now, two bites in and I had to give this place 5 stars, will be coming back. read more

We came for the sweet potato cake... and we will return for the sweet potato cake!! That cake is SO good. Whether you like sweet potatoes or not, this cake is for you. It's dense and moist, and the frosting is phenomenal. There is a reason they're known for it! As for the restaurant--what a quaint and eclectic place! They have lots of seating and a really neat interior. Would definitely recommend when in Greenville! read more

I was looking for a German Chocolate Cake for my husband's birthday and dedicded to order from Brick Street since I love all their other cakes. They didn't dissapoint! Four yummy layers of chocolate cake (with chocolate chips in the batter) covered in the most delicious coconut icing. It was amazing! But about the coconut icing...you can taste that they roast their pecans first. Then instead of having a separate chocolate buttercream frosting, they added cocoa directly into the cocount mixture to make it rich and chocolatey. I could have eaten the icing by the spoonfuls alone! Added to the cake, it made for one decadent dessert that you'll be back to enjoy. I know I will! read more

Went in to try the famous sweet potato cake. In my opinion, while the cake has great texture, it does not taste like sweet potato whatsoever. This cake tastes like a simple white cake. Do not recommend unless your favorite cake is a classic white cake. read more

Nothing better than their sweet potato cake. We get it for any special occasions or birthdays. We typically get it to go.

Website says pets welcome. They're not. Don't even have outside seating so I don't know why they say that.

I have been coming here since it opened. I now live in Seattle, but every time we come and visit family, it is a must that we stop here. We even have a painting of this restaurant by a local artist on our wall. read more

Such a fun experience! Staff is so friendly. The cakes are our favorite. We will go out of way when traveling to go by and buy cakes for special occasions. Sweet potato cake is my favorite. My husband loves the coconut cake. read more

Had a coconut cake for my sons birthday. Disappointed that there was no frosting between the layers, just some coconut. Cake was dry.

This is a must if you are visiting downtown GVL. Stopped by to staisty a sweet craving for those cakes with a family member. We arrived after the lunch rush and decided to sit down and grab a lunch as well. I was contemplating between the salmon salad and the classic sandwich. Ended up very happy with my choice of the salad. read more

Had a great experience here! The place itself has a fun antique vibe that is homey and comfortable. I got the carrot cake and my husband got the chocolate peanut butter cake. They were fantastic! The service was great even though they were very busy. Would highly recommend their dessert! I have not had the food so I can't speak on it but looking at other peoples tables, the food looked good for lunch! read more

Love the famous sweet potato cake! Great texture, not dry at all, icing perfectly balanced. Chocolate peanut butter was also a win! Great flavor balance, so moist, and icing not super sweet. Mini chocolate chips added delightful texture! Both cakes even better tasting at room temperature. My friend and I shared the slices and leftovers were so great, the cold refrigerator is required for food but it can sometimes inhibit flavors. Service was great, we arrived 30 minutes before close and were treated great with no rush to leave. The waiter was helpful in helping us choose cakes. The atmosphere is very unique, like an indoor market with colorful plants, table cloths, lamps and fun lanterns. Love the YES sign over the cake area because it reminds me of the Yelp Elite Squad :) read more

We stopped picked up their famous Sweet Potato cupcakes which were great but very small. We also got a few chocolate cupcakes as well for the kids and in their words there is no need for us to stop when we come back through Greenville. The atmosphere was really nice but the parking not so great. read more

what a fun place; eclectic decor is the 1st thing you notice. once you order the delight continues; the sweet potato cake is simply yummy

Brick Street definitely has the best cakes. I love the sweet potato and chocolate. The food is also good and always fresh. A very nice treat any day! read more

This is THE cutest place ever! I went in for a friend who wanted me to bring him back a couple of slices of their Sweet Potato Cake. I was greeted immediately when I walked in by a server. I let him know I just wanted to order a cake and he directed me to the counter stating, Kelly will take care of you, and boy did she. I'd never tried the cake before so she offered me and my mom a sample without hesitation. We are in LOVE! This is one of the most delicious cakes I've ever tasted in my life. I'd hoped to get a small cake, but only medium was available (you have to pre-order the small). However, the slices are $8/ea (and friggin worth it)! I was only getting 3 slices, but then my mom decided she wanted some, so I just bought the medium cake. It was $41 but def the cheaper option bc I have to share it with friends. I definitely want to come back for brunch next time I'm at home. The ambiance is super cute and artsy. Parking is mostly in the back--note, there are stairs in the back so if you have issues or need handicap access, you'll want to get dropped off on the front. All of the staff were super friendly. I'll def be back I'd nothing more for this delish cake. read more

I used to really enjoy this place. But that was years ago, and I don't know what happened. Did the owner sell, or stop caring? I got the fruit plate, which normally had a delicious chicken salad. This plate was a mess, with a strawberry that had gone bad and bland chicken salad that was obviously a different recipe from the one I remember. I also ordered the slaw; it seemed to be lifeless and less than fresh. The two women with me ordered desserts. Both took them home after a couple of bites, and neither finished them. The food was edible and the tea was good. But that will not be enough to bring me back. read more

I would love to purchase a sweet potato cake for my wife's birthday, per our tradition, but it seems no one is there to pick up the phone! I have called 10X each day for the past 7 days (excluding Monday) and no answer. It's too far for me to drive there just to order this cake. VERY FRUSTRATING!! read more

I look forward to eating at Brick Street. The food is always delicious, the service is great, and the atmosphere there is so awesome. This is such a quaint place to sit down and really enjoy your meal. read more

We attended a private dinner party here with a larger group of about 25 people and I was very pleased with the atmosphere, service, food, and drinks! Our group was seated in the front area of the restaurant alongside one of the streetview windows. Although it was not an enclosed private room, it was perfect to feel as though we had our own space while also experiencing the liveliness of the main dining area and live musicians. The downstairs of the restaurant had a separate private function going on and there was another large group dinner taking place adjacent to ours. The waitstaff and kitchen were able to accommodate everyone, as well as their walk in diners and reservations, with ease and excellence. We were presented a limited menu to choose our entree from but all of the options were appealing and the plates that were served were plentiful. Beef tenderloin, crab cakes, stuffed chicken and a vegetarian lasagna offered a good variety for everyone to pick something they would like. Choosing dinner was easier than dessert because all of the cakes on display looked absolutely delectable and it was hard to pick just one. My date and I got one slice each of the sweet potato cake and chocolate cake. Both were very generous portions and each the best in their own way! I am looking forward to going back the Brick Street to check out what their full menu has to offer! read more

Well! We returned and it's even better. I had the daily special which was a delicious wrap that added ham and bacon to their basic veggie wrap ( artichoke slices, cukes, red onion and more). We had a glass of house chardonnay which was rather pricey. We could get a bottle at the grocery store for the same price as a glass at Brick Street. Live and learn. But then they got just plain EVIL!! They sent some guy through the restaurant with a megaphone shouting about their cakes. Oh but they couldn't let that do. Nope! They sent servers through with WHOLE CAKES to taunt us. WHOLE CAKES with their tempting icings and garnishes, waving them right under our noses. Just evil and cruel. And it worked. We ordered a slice of the highly touted Sweet Potato CAKE. Slap me silly! Melt in your mouth, decadent cream cheese frosting; large enough for the two of us to share and still have a dabble left over to take home and share with Mr. Particular. He LOVED it. This time our server was a charmer named Esteban who made us feel welcomed and valued. He had a delightful sense of humor--we wanted to take him home with us and the rest of the cake! Try to get in his area; it's worth asking just because of his dedicated friendly service. read more

It has been a while since I have eaten here, but this is definitely an establishment oriented towards the feminine side. Maybe it is not politically correct, but it is a "chick restaurant" - which simply means it has an openness, nice decor, is comfortable for conversation and I mean long conversations and visiting. Plus it has this thing for desserts. And that is why I am here. Dessert. My wife was helping with a women's conference at our church. They were having a meal and afterwards, for dessert, they were planning cookies. "Cookies are NOT dessert," she says. What we NEED are some sweet potato cakes from Brick Street. So to help out in the planning frenzy, I went to pick them up. This is not an ordinary cake nor an ordinary bakery. You have to make a reservation in advance for the cakes or you can take what they have made for stock and serving in the restaurant. The cakes come in small, medium and large. I was told to get two mediums (or something like that) and they were out and I had no reservation, man! So, I got two large sweet potato cakes. They were $45 apiece. Each. Each one of them was $45. Holy Smokes this had better be good. Since I was not invited to attend the women's conference, I had to experience this cake later and it is a very rich, very good cake. But then I googled it up and found an exact recipe that will cost a lot less next time. Bottom line - this is a popular restaurant that stays pretty busy through the day with people coming in for not just the food, but to sit and visit without being rushed out of the restaurant. I bet it would be an excellent place for a cup of coffee and a piece of sweet potato pie with an old friend. read more

I don't eat here very often because of the service. As soon as the waiter came to my table, I ordered water and quiche because I know they run out. If you get there right when they open, they do not have quiche ready yet. He brought my water pretty quick and asked again, you wanted quiche? I said yes. He comes by and refills my water before I got my food. It had to be at least 20 minutes of waiting for my meal and he comes over and said, we are out of quiche. I said it would have been nice if you had told me that 20 minutes ago. read more

This place is great! My brother made a reservation for our family and we loved it. Simple menu, yummy salmon. But the main event is the dessert. No gluten free options that I saw, but it was totally worth the stomach ache for the peanut butter cake. My brother has highly recommended it for YEARS, but this was the first time I got to eat it. There was live music when we were there on a Saturday night, but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't keep a conversation, which I appreciated. The space is large, electric decor, fun colors, paintings and lights. As the sign says, just eat da cake. read more
