The second day, it was much nicer out, so we parked and went inside. I had a vanilla latte the first time, and a strawberry fields latte the second, and both were tasty! I also brought home a bunch of pastries, including their cranberry orange muffins, and everything was top-tier.

The hubs got a regular white mocha and they just not have steamed a new thing of milk for his as it was the same temperature as mine even though he ordered it standard temperature.

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.

Such a cute bookstore!

This store is so cute and relaxing to be in! There's a café/bar with a wide variety that isn't obnoxiously expensive and plenty of great books to choose from (and thankfully no Booktok section or ugly stickers covering gorgeous covers). There's a comfy seating area to read your book of choice and enjoy a delicious beverage. There's also plenty of unique and creative bookish gifts to get for your loved ones. Kind staff, clean place (including the bathrooms) and a great selection to choose from. 100% recommend!

They have inside and outside seating, which is nice for when it's a nice day! I've gone for one of their evening events of trivia and that was super fun!!! I've also gone just to hang with friends while we drink some coffee and yap and look at books. I love that they have a few different specials each month. Everyone that works there is so sweet! It's definitely one of my rotating places for coffee and a work day.

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!!!

Spent a lovely Sunday morning here! Despite the long line,…read morethe staff moved quickly and with a positive attitude to take orders and prepare coffees and food. The pastry case was full and beautiful with savory and sweet options. There's a fair amount of indoor seating and a few outdoor tables. I ordered a hazelnut latte which was bold and delicious. Despite saying I was dining in, it was served in a to go cup - I do wish I received it in a cup/mug. I also tried the almond croissant which was flaky and not overly sweet. The croque monsieur was indulgent and cheesy - although, I wish it was slightly hotter when served. The portion of everything matched the price.

When we arrived, the line wasn't too long, after we placed our order the line was out the door. Apparently everyone else knows how delicious the food is too. There were three in our party and we all ordered something different so we could try each other's selection. Biscuits and gravy, Silence of the hams, and The Vicious. Each item was good but the Vicious was probably my favorite (with the cowboy candy on the side). We had saved the tops of two biscuits so we could try the butters and other toppings. All the butters, especially the sweet bourbon butter, were so good. 10/10 recommend this place!

The order was ready when I arrived as promised, super simple to pick up online orders.

Otherwise, very generous portion and lots of goodness inside.

My favorite spot by far on our Charleston itinerary; my only regret is that our trip was so short…read morethat we did not have time for a second visit. Their banana bread had been recommended to me as a must-try but after a quick glance at the menu, I wanted to try at least five other things. First things first: the banana bread. 10/10. If you leave here without getting a slice warmed up with butter, you're doing yourself a serious disservice. It didn't even taste like banana bread but had the texture of a soft eggy French toast. I was so entranced with it that I managed to squirrel away half for the next day. Also got their jammy eggs because I'm an egg fiend. They were delicious, topped with chives and some chili crisp, but $7 for two eggs in this economy was a little hard to swallow. Next time I'm here, I'd want to try the quiche and the pickled shrimp toast. And they also have peanut milk?? Tucked away on a side street off the much busier King, Babas can be easy to miss but wow - talk about treasures coming in tiny sizes. There's some indoor seating and outdoor tables but don't bank on getting a table right away if you're coming on a weekend morning. The line moves quickly so we didn't mind waiting.

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!
