    $9 ice cream (matcha from Ryder hotel - 10/10!)
    Robert S.

    I was really craving ice cream and this place looked promising. It was really good and the service was speedy as can be however it was $9 for a cone of ice cream! And the vanilla bean didn't even have vanilla beans in it? I wouldn't go back, but it did satiate my craving pretty well. Super tiny European feeling atmosphere but obviously still in America.

    Alfajor and empanada
    Victoria G.

    Gelato, coffees, empanadas, and alfajores. I wish the Charleston area had more Argentine restaurants. Lots of empanada options but go early because they do sell out quickly. The spinach empanada could have used a bit more flavor but the traditional beef one was great. Kind of pricey for an empanada but they are a labor of love so I get it. Very pleased and the service is fast and the young man was very nice!

    Nearly nothing in our empanadas
    Kyle D.

    [Empanada review] Overall: Airport-quality empanadas for a premium price. The good: The empanadas were flaky and buttery, and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly and quick. The not-so-good: The empanadas were almost completely empty instead of packed with filling. The flavors were dull and uninspiring, and they certainly weren't warm. I've never been more disappointed eating an emapanada than I did with Freddo. Their milkshakes and gelato look good, but I doubt we'll be back.

    Banana split gelato
    John B.

    Some issues that I had, but won't be overly harsh on: One, they've decided to be on Doordash. I try not to use food apps, but if I get a really good deal it can convince me to try a new place, and maybe if it's good enough I'll shop there again. However, this place didn't seem to have figured the system out and my order came as a surprise to them when I arrived. The other problem was that I ordered a "gelato panini", which sounded nice but which they were out of, so they gave me a bit of gelato and a cup and extra empanadas (on top of the two I'd already ordered), which wasn't quite what I wanted but I figure it's good food and there were people waiting behind me so I didn't want to mess around. The gelato I got was a banana split flavor; banana with chocolate flakes and dulce de leche, which sounded good enough to get me to pass up mint chip (which I hardly ever do) and was quite a luxurious flavor. Conversely, I enjoyed my empanadas later, when the aroma of the flaky crust started getting to me. The corn and the spinach versions both had a mouthwatering cheese and onion filling in addition to the vegetable of choice. This place does sweet and savory both well. Notably, an empanada is a practical sort of food to carry around and fills a niche that I don't know is filled by anything else in the robust Charleston restaurant scene. Despite the issues with ordering, they were good enough that I could see coming back some day and just ordering in person.

    the caprese empanada (they sell several other kinds too including pepperoni, bacon, or beef)
    Joseph S.

    Freddo offers Argentinian style gelato and empanadas. Besides this location, the only other USA locations are in the Miami metro area. Our favorite flavor of their gelato is the coconut & dulce de leche. It was so good. We also wholeheartedly recommend trying their empanadas which are so flaky and delicious. We loved the caprese one.

    Delicious. "Udderly" delicious. GF friendly. No good place to sit, so walk a bit to some steps or hail a pedicab and enjoy.

    5/5 Stars - Absolutely Incredible!…read more This spot is a total gem. We ordered a vanilla cinnamon iced latte, a cappuccino, a smoothie, a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a strawberry pop-tart, and every single item was outstanding- gluten free options too!!! The breakfast sandwich was perfect--flavorful, fresh, and served on a perfectly toasted everything bagel. The strawberry pop-tart was unreal, an elevated treat, and the drinks hit the spot. The iced latte had just the right balance of vanilla and cinnamon without being overly sweet, the cappuccino was expertly crafted, and the smoothie was incredibly refreshing. Beyond the food, the vibe here is immaculate. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the background music is great, and the workers are exceptionally friendly. It's the perfect place to kickstart your morning. We will definitely be back!

Driving in from Kiawah, I…read morestarted the hunt for a good lunch spot on the way and Yelp brought us right to Island Provisions. It is much more casual than I thought, with some of the menu (like bowls and salads) already made and ready to grab from the fridge. So happy we ended up staying because everything was fantastic. We ordered at the counter, grabbed drinks from the fridge and found a table on the side, covered patio. Food was brought out super quickly and it was absolutely delicious. I got the St. Philip pita, which was incredible and almost tasted like a halal cart chicken sandwich in the best way. It was so filling and so good. It came with a really tasty side salad. My fiance got the BLT which was just as great. I can see this being a really ideal space to bring my laptop and get some work done if I lived in the area. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a great, casual space for breakfast, lunch or coffees.

Lots of plants and gives a cozy small coffee shop vibe. Food: Got the avocado toast, whipped ricotta toast and iced vanilla latte. The iced vanilla latte was really good, smooth flavorful. The avocado toast was fresh and the lime wedge definitely brought a lot of flavor. The whipped ricotta was very tasty and was not too sweet but had some jam and pistachios on top.

I ordered the peanut milk matcha, and my husband got one of their peanut milk coffee drinks. I really enjoyed the matcha. It had a subtle peanut butter flavor that made it feel unique without being overwhelming. It was definitely something different from the usual matcha latte and a fun thing to try. The café itself has a cozy, laid-back vibe. They also serve cocktails, which I wasn't expecting. While we were there, lots of people were ordering the shrimp toast and other food items from the café menu, all of which looked really good. It was busy but not overwhelmingly crowded, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. A great spot to grab a drink, people-watch, and take a break from exploring the city.

    A review posted in honor of the experience one of my friends had this past week -…read more My husband and I came to Charleston specifically for the food, and out of all the amazing meals we had, Miller's All Day was hands down our favorite. We came for breakfast and started with the banana bread with Nutella cream cheese -- absolutely incredible. We also split the cornmeal pancakes, which were so good we came back the next morning just to have them again. I ordered the B.E.C. with the home fries, and I can honestly say they may have been the best potatoes I've ever had in any form. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and they practically melted in my mouth. My husband had the turkey club and said it was fantastic as well. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and memorable. We loved it so much we went back the very next day. 10/10 -- highly recommend if you're visiting Charleston!

    Very cute spot, bright, clean and lots of space to not feel crowded…read more Server was great, was on top of it but didn't rush us. He also had a meal removed from the bill - it was brought out Luke warm unfortunately. Overall food was good everyone was happy with their choices. Burger didn't come with fries but was big enough to fill up an 18 year old boy. Salad had a great sauce, was a little thrown off with the cold waffle but it's supposed to come like that server said. The avocado toast was so good but eggs were cold unfortunately. It didn't ruin the taste so still recommend. Visited on vacation but I would go back and try other plates.

Service: our waitress was incredibly friendly and super nice. Atmosphere: they have an open layout and very vibe/ dance music. They do have a Photo Booth which is pretty unique. It looked like they did brunch/ breakfast and then evening had a pizza parlor. There was a bar off to the side when you first walk in Food: peach French toast and egg and cheese biscuit. The peach French toast is one of their specialties and it was super tasty. Had peach flavor and whipped cream and was a huge serving. The biscuit was a huge serving also and was definitely filling. Parking: you can park on the side of streets and there are some parking spaces on king street. Can definitely get busy on weekends and much easier to walk to.

    Popular brunch spot & a good option on Sundays when not every place is open on King's Street…read more There is a bit of a wait (could be over 30 min), depending on the size of your crowd. Our waiter was super busy & at times hard to flag down. He did a nice job of refills for the kids, but when the food came out, we literally had zero napkins and zero utensils. That is basic stuff- I shouldn't have to flag down people for when getting seated. I ended up finding another waiter who was helping to bring out our food and asking him for napkins and cutlery. The beignets here are not what you expect- think super mini ones versus the classic ones you get from Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans or other joints. We would have placed two orders of them except I knew the brunch plates would be big, and we wanted our kiddos to eat their meal before filling up on sweets. I got the Meeting plate- double portion of crab cakes on top of fried green tomatoes with grits and a huge buttermilk biscuit, where I didn't finish the biscuit and had one of our kids eat half of it. I was craving some fried green tomatoes but also wanted seafood so that worked out! My partner got the fried green tomatoes BLT and loved it. One of our kids got the chicken and waffles, another ate all of the fried chicken tenderloins, and our third really wanted buttermilk pancakes that were a hefty plate. No shortage of being hungry at this place! The food was good, but I would not say it was anything too different than any other brunch place-but for, the fried green tomatoes & other southern offerings like grits that you wouldn't get in other parts of the country. There are only two wash rooms, so there can be a wait especially when you have a long line of ladies waiting FYI. Prices are not too bad and standard for brunch so still an alternative when you are looking for fuel to fill up before doing your shopping on King's Street.

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!

I tried a couple of their seasonal items, and once again the flavors were bright, fresh, and a little unexpected in the best way. Their baked goods are still the standout--beautifully made, not overly sweet & just delicious. It's the kind of place where you can sit with a book, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy a slow morning with coffee and something delicious. Consistently great atmosphere, consistently great food, and a place that really gets better with every visit. Why did it take so long to return. I've now placed it in the top of my list for a great coffee spot.

One of the oldest in Charleston and super cute from the outside in. I also love that they named the place after their loyal pupper dog.

It was Labor Day and things seemed on the quiet side in town. The ambience was great and we were on the second floor. We got right to the libations (he had a Malbec and I, the cider they had available). And then the entrees - hubby got the shrimp and grits, that's usually my dish but I was glad he got it so I could taste. I got the fried chicken, with hoppin John over white rice, and collards. So good! And I wasn't even hungry but I had to test the "award winning" and "famous" labels on our dishes. The chicken is a huge serving - 4 pieces of juicy, tasty chicken - an entire quarter. The hoppin John was good - I just wish there were more hoppin John and less rice. Service was 5 star. Donte was a real treat and looked after us well. For dessert, I was hoping for bread pudding, but it wasn't on the menu, and everyone in the dining room was ordering the banana pudding so we got that to share. It is a large serving, enough for two. The presentation was cute, the taste was regular, and I didn't taste a hint of alcohol (it was a bourbon or some other alcohol).
