Great Avocado turkey sandwich, I was able to split it with my husband and we both really enjoyed it. Sandwich came hot and delicious! Kids split a Cuban sandwich that they loved. Service was fast and they had a large selection of chips to choose from. And bottled coke! read more

Super yummy sandwich spot! I can't say what the actual restaurant looks like since I ordered for delivery, but my sandwich was really good! I ordered Jack's Special Sandwich and it was delicious! The bread was crunchy, but soft and all the ingredients worked really well together. I'll definitely be ordering from them again, or maybe I'll actually swing by! read more

Circe's Grotto - Thanksgiving sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Delicious sandwiches, stopped in when Queen Street Grocery was mysteriously closed yesterday. Sandwiches are enormous, but are expensive. Not much seating inside and seating outside is limited as well. Folks of course are friendly, so we were able to share a large picnic table with others. Love the panino sandwich, the turkey melt was so so good. read more

The thanksgiving sandwich was the best sandwich I've ever eaten. The inside is really cute. We ordered online and the sandwich was ready really quickly. We got it two days in row because it was so good. read more

Good sandwhiches. Good lemonade. The side patio to eat outdoors is nice. Good proximity to king street and shopping. I wish they had a kids menu, which is why it get 4 instead of 5. read more

Circe's Grotto - a cut in half sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

This popular cafe is located downtown right near the College of Charleston. It has picnic tables outside for eating or you can get food to go. They have an online ordering system. Their roast beef sandwich (two different versions) and Thanksgiving sammie are my favorites. It is one of my go to spots since I downtown. They get super crowded so order ahead before the lunch crowd if you can! read more

So, I want to love this place, I like the idea of this place, but my sandwich was just okay. For one, it might look fancy to have the bread flipped inside out, but it made it a pain to keep together to try to eat. I was hoping for a bit more flavor and while it was by no means bad, I don't know that I would pay that much for a sandwich I just thought was okay. Seating is super limited and service wasn't bad, I just felt like another number... read more

Came here for lunch which was very busy. They have some outdoor seating which is great. The turkey melt was absolutely delicious and filled with flavor! I also love their grilled cheese which just bursts with cheesy goodness. Very friendly staff! read more

One of the best tasting sandwiches - Sprouted Turkey. Good sized portions. Took a bit long to get our order, but the food was worth it. Enjoyed the outside seating. read more

Blt sandwich was not very good. I only ended up eating half. The space was very hot as well

This is the best sandwich establishment in the entire United States of America. I got the Jacks Special and it simply changed my life. It knocked my socks off. read more

The workers try to keep up with the heavy demand but this place gets so busy. You'll wait about 15-25 min for your food at peak lunch hour. Good sandwiches. The tuna was great read more

This place is insanely delicious. The wait can be really long sometimes but if you have time to wait, it's worth it. Avocado toast is hands down the best I've ever had. I try to recreate it all the time, and while it's still so yummy at home, I can't make it as well. Everyone who works there is super friendly. Adorable little spot. Every time I visit home I stop by here and force my friends to try it! read more

Excellent grilled cheese with avocado! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Order online as it gets a lot of customers!

Amazing sandwiches and chip selection! All of the sandwiches are served with warmed bread too

Great food. Some of the staff were quite rude to myself and other customers which was a bit off putting. Maybe it was just a rough day. Will be back though to try other items that caught my eye. read more

Who doesn't love a good sandwich? Nestled within in the tree-lined blocks around the College of Charleston is Circe's Grotto, a small sandwich shopping offering classic and creative sandwiches. I stumbled in one day for lunch and ordered the turkey sandwich special with bacon and it was well worth it. Great portion, fresh ingredients, and ample seating for quick service. read more

The cutest family owned cafe. The BEST avocado toast!!! My daughter goes to CofC so we have passed this place many times but have never been. So happy we went! Great quick lunch in between shopping and walking the town. We also ate at Church and Union and Basic Kitchen but honestly they were a disappointment. Circe's was so much better quality food. Just a solid meal with lovely people. read more

Best Avacado toast in Charleston!!! Other places forget that the bread matters too! So crispy and addictive. Better than that more expensive place down the road and more relaxed environment. Great outdoor seating. One of my favorite places in Charleston!! read more

One of Charleston's best finds. This sandwich shop has consistently delicious sandwiches with fresh ingredients. They've been wonderful about pick up orders and wearing masks, which is much appreciated. read more

Always a 10 out of 10. Great sandwiches and fast service. Get there early if you want a spot to sit outside. Fills up fast.

Circe's Grotto on Wentworth Street in Charleston is a great place to get sandwiches and salads that are fresh and well prepared. I really like their bread and how everything comes together to make everything so delicious. The staff here is very cool and works hard to make sure that you have everything that you need to have an excellent meal. They are worth a visit. read more

Circe's Grotto - Turkey Melt - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Small, quaint shop with salads, paninis, and sandwiches. Mostly a college hangout. Seating for about 10-15. Has a brisk takeout business. Good service and food. We had a humus wrap and a mixed greens salad. Both were good. read more

Really unhappy with my food from here :( I ordered the breakfast special sandwich that was supposed to come on Naan bread. It didn't and they didn't even bother to tell me in advance or ask me what I might want instead. I'm super disappointed because I had heard such great things and was looking forward to having a good experience. Service overall was fast and efficient though, and the facility in itself was fairly clean and a good atmosphere. Just the sandwich wasn't served how the description said, and I got my sandwich to go and was very disappointed. read more

See all

The hot spot college sandwich spot. Really, we had the tuna panini, fantastic. Very large portions. Next time I will split it with someone. Not much to look at from the outside, but just you wait. Prices are ok for the area. They have salads, drinks, sandwiches, panini, oh my. There is always a smile from the staff. You can see what they make for you as they make it. Very nice shop, quick, and tasty food. You get more for the money. Stop in, you will be very surprised, for an out of the way place. Worth the effort. Frank G read more

Gearing up for a huge event in Charleston, we were working all day setting up. It was lunch time and you could tell the team was getting hangry. Ok, maybe only I was. Yeah, it was just me. So after searching on Yelp, I ordered sammies for everyone. It was going to be 10 minutes, so I walked over - enjoying that lovely Charleston weather. Oh, to be able to walk ANYWHERE in Florida without melting. Wishful thinking. It's a quaint spot. It looks unassuming from the outside - and inside it's small(ish), but cozy. The staff was excellent - super nice and worked quickly. Almost all the sandwiches (8 in total) were almost done when I arrived to pick up. They were just warming up the last two. I went with a Turkey Cranberry panini. WHOA. Thanksgiving came early with this one (it was a few weeks before Thanksgiving. It had sliced turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. It was delicious - and pretty massive. I had a side of sweet Maui onion chips (so damn, good!) I washed it all down with a mango ice tea. Refreshing! It wasn't overly sweet, and had a subtle hint of mango. Really good. Overall this was a fantastic lunch. I devoured my entire sandwich and was ready for a nap. Pro Tip: Get this sandwich as a panini, I'm not sure how it comes originally, but pressed to perfection is the only way I want to think it's made. read more

Best sandwiches ever! Got the thanksgiving and BLT with turkey! Fabulous taste, fresh, and enormous! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu read more

Circe's Grotto - Thanksgiving sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Unbelievably, mind-blowingly slow. Today waited 40min for a sandwich. It wasn't the first time it happened, won't go again. The food is ok but def nor worth such a long wait. They don't have a waiting area, either, it's a small shop full of people eating and waiting in line. I was just standing for 40 min in a stuffy room, being pushed around by people trying to get water or something from the fridge. read more

Absolutely fantastic sandwiches and coffees! It took a very long time and there isn't a ton of seating for the number of people there around lunch time. However, I would definitely go back and take it to go. read more

So I've eaten here a few times and have always loved the food. Quality meats, quality bread and veggies, and a great location! Of all the sandwiches I've had the Cali BLT is the best! Avocado and a zesty sauce spice up an already solid blt. Added in some pickle chips because I like the dill with the bacon and I'm off to the races. Can not recommend this place easy access and a super friendly staff! read more

These sandwiches are some of the best I've ever had. This place is a college hot spot, but after my friend who lives around the corner wouldn't stop raving, I made it a point to stop it. I've been in a few times and can't stray away from the Turkey Panini. Add some sriracha for a little kick of heat. I've tasted some of the other sandwiches and I'd say my second favorite is the Thanksgiving one. Get it on the grill though for sure. After chatting with the owner, it turns out that he's from the Boston area too! Even better... now when I visit relatives, I can still get my sandwich fix and his Mom's MA location. read more

Wicked good family run spot. Delicious food and great service. Love the outdoor patio and overall location is perfect. I will be back!

Quite possibly the best sandwiches I've ever eaten! Holy cow...my mouth is watering just writing this review!! It was so good the first time we went, we just had to go back the next day! So far I've had the roast beef sandwich with homemade boursin & the Cuban sandwich and I had a bite of the turkey met - all were out of this world! The owner is really great & the vibe is really chill - Will def go back for breakfast & lunch before I head home! Everything is really fresh & made to order - don't expect it to be speedy - this isn't fast food! Mouth-watering deliciousness takes just a bit to prepare! read more

My lunch sub "The Sinatra" (minus provolone, add mozzarella and on Cuban bread) was delicious. Tastiest sandwich I've had! Cute atmosphere with seating only outside. If the tables are full there is no way to socially distance, but my mother and I were able to space a table between us and the other groups. I'll definitely return. read more

So delicious! I got the Turkey Melt panini, and it was huge - I'm saving half of it for lunch tomorrow. Order inside, then wait outside on the patio for your food to be delivered through a window. There weren't very many people when I went for lunch on a Wednesday, so we were able to maintain social distance while waiting on the patio. My dog was able to enjoy some shade underneath one of the picnic tables while we waited. This place will probably become part of the regular rotation for when I need a quick and tasty lunch. read more
