This place takes preorders but also had a good selection of loaves and sweets relatively late in the day. Fresh pasta was available as well. My needs were not huge, but I walked out with some appealing pastries. An oatmeal chocolate chip cookie (yes, it's both) was well-received, and my cinnamon roll was tasty if not as moist as I'd hoped. An almond croissant delivered sweet almond paste and a buttery crust. They weren't transcendent, but they were satisfying.

Today was the first time I had ever stopped into the Charleston Bread Company on Capitol Street in…read moreCharleston. It's located down at the end near the Farmer's Market in the old Charleston Train Depot (Historical Site) The store is simple yet inviting on the outside. Inside very simple and bare There is several employees that you can see hard at work doing their needed task to make this amazing bread!! The aroma is delicious in its own right...who doesn't enjoy the smells of baking bread....my nostrils are perking up sending happy endorphins to my brain....within seconds I'm in my own grandmother's kitchen!!! I was greeted by very sweet and helpful employee. I explained it was my first visit and she gladly answered my questions. I purchased a loaf of Charleston Sourdough (wheat) and looked over the homemade Pastas and Pesto and said my goodbyes! Immediately outside of shop, I quickly dove into my bag to sample my purchase... definitely going back!! Even without butter or heat, this bread was superb.....can't wait until my next purchase next week!!!

We stopped into Spring Hill Pastry Shop during a last-minute overnight trip, and I'm really glad we…read moredid. Everything we tried was soft, fresh, and flavorful without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated. You can tell this is the kind of place that's been doing things the same (and doing them well) for a long time. The prices were also surprisingly great, and had they been listed, I would have purchased a lot more. It's a small, old-school bakery that's clearly been a local favorite for generations, and that charm is part of what makes it special. That said, as first-time visitors, it was a little tough to navigate. Nothing is labeled, no menu, no prices, so we had to ask a few questions and rely on recommendations. Maybe it was just a busy Saturday morning, but the young woman helping us didn't seem thrilled that I was taking photos and asking about the pastries. I get that most of their customers are probably regulars who already know what they want, but for those of us just passing through, a little guidance (and patience) would go a long way. Even with that experience, I'd still recommend stopping by. The pastries really are that good, the prices are fair, and it's the kind of nostalgic, old fashioned bakery that's getting harder to find these days.
