    Chocolate cake

    This is the BEST chocolate cake I have ever had. The icing was incredible, the cake moist and delicious. The service was unbeatable! Christen was so accommodating and helpful. She came through in a last minute situation and saved the day!

    I would give this cake 100 stars. If you are coming to Charleston be sure to pre order a cake. We ordered chocolate/chocolate and red velvet. For a nominal amout order three layers! Check out her website for pricing. This is worth the drive into CHS even if you are staying close by. This cake was old school, homemade cake! So delicious! If you're only getting one, order chocolate!

    The cake was amazing and perfectly Chocolate for my husband who loves chocolate. We live in El Paso but had the party in Charleston and the baker communicated very well to ensure the cake was done in perfect time.

    The best chocolate cake i've EVER HAD! This is a must for my friends and I to get for each others birthdays! Every single person who's ever tried it has been hooked - including guests we've had that said they don't usually like cake / chocolate cake! It's fudgey and just amazing, usually i don't like frosting but hers is amazing! And they are made by the sweetest woman in the most adorable downtown house if you have any celebration, this is the best you can get in charleston!! if you tell her the occasion, she will add sprinkles for birthdays if you'd like!

    I'm not sure I can describe how perfect this chocolate cake is!!! As a baker myself I am often disappointed by dry and lacking baked goods but this cake...well this may be the best cake I've ever had and our table agreed. The perfection and balance of moisture to this chocolate cake leave an aftertaste that will not let you put your fork down let's just say!! Thank you chocolate cake Charleston for getting this to me!!! We were in awe!!!

    As a local wedding planner, I have tried PLENTY of cakes around town with my clients...and I can say hands-down that Christen makes one of the most delicious chocolate cakes I have ever had! Not only is the chocolate cake good, but her red velvet and almond cakes are also AMAZING! They are so moist and flavorful! Not only do her cakes taste amazing, but Christen is one of the nicest people to deal with. She has made last-minute orders for many of my clients (and myself!) You can't go wrong using Chocolate Cake.

    The best!  Moist cake with fudge frosting. It couldn't have been better.

    The chocolate cake was so moist and the frosting was fudgy. I ordered ahead of time for friends' birthdays and the cake lived up to the 5 star reviews. I hate ordering chocolate cake at restaurants because it's dry and usually has a mousse like frosting. If you want pure chocolate goodness without sickening sweetness this is the baker for you!

    Cake, don't forget milk!

    If you like Chocolate Cake, there is nothing as awesome as Christen's cakes from Chocolate Cake Charleston. Great for a special event or any time. Fluffy and light with an unbelivable frosting, these are the best ever! Customer service is over the top, no issue on special orders or needs. Order and have it shipped if you want, I did. Sent it cross country and it arrived on time, perfect and ready to go. Make sure you follow the unpacking directions. You can't go wrong, and will always do right with Chocolate Cake Charleston!

    Pure deliciousness! Chocolate cake inside and out!

    Incredibly moist, very rich chocolate (almost like dark chocolate), perfect ratio of cake to icing.

The croque monsieur was indulgent and cheesy - although, I wish it was slightly hotter when served. The portion of everything matched the price.

The shop is super cute inside. And it smelled absolutely delicious. I love the way that they had everything laid out for you to see. And the ladies that worked there were very sweet and answered any questions that we had. I like that when you start to tell them what you want they have a cake plate that they put your items on and then they'll box it up at the end. It just had a really special feel to the service of how they treat you there. Now let's get into the sweet treats. I bought a chocolate chip cookie, a oatmeal raisin cookie and a ginger molasses cookie. They were all delicious, but that oatmeal raisin cookie was amazing. I also got too many cupcakes. I did the vanilla blueberry and the honey. Both were very good. And I got a pecan brownie. I loved the pecan brownie! My only problem with the brownie is that it's so small. I would love for them to make them bigger for the price, but absolutely delicious. I love that none of the sweets tasted too sweet. They were perfectly balanced. I recommend checking out the spot. It will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth.

They do not rush you and help describe the various goodies on display. We were like kids in a candy shop wanting one of everything. While you wait in line, they offer free samples to get you excited about the wonderfulness within. Now I am sharing a lot of photos, but I did not try everything. We were visiting my mother-in-law in the hospital, so we shared with her and visiting family, I will talk about the ones I did try. The chocolate croissant was textbook with a shine on the pastry itself and loads of thin crispy layers and just the right amount of dark chocolate. The Weltons Honey Pie was one of their signature items that they traveled to South America to learn how to make. It reminded me of a light honey flavored cheesecake but denser. The dark chocolate chip cookie will live on in my dreams! Plenty of dark chocolate chips in a thick lightly chewy cookie and sprinkle with sea salt. Oh my! I could eat a dozen easy! Switching to savory we tried the Hot Honey croissant with Soppressata , ricotta and hot honey. Like all their croissants it was super crispy and flaky and reminded me of an Italian sandwich. A great choice if you aren't wanting sweet. But for my wife and I our favorite was the blueberry kolache. Loaded with blueberries and a brown sugar cornmeal crumb it simple melted in our mouths. I have been told their coffee is amazing and the other pictured goodies got rave reviews from my family members. If you have a Charleston food bucket list add this place immediately!

Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert.

That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.
