The croissant was sooo buttery, the pesto was very garlicky, and the tomato tasted fresh and vibrant. The employees were very kind. They also have a broad selection of breakfast items here that I'd come back to try. Tons of seating indoors and outdoors, and a large parking lot to top it off!

Food is above average, we ordered BLTA, and couple of chicken clubs-…read moreSince they were out of sourdough, our options bread were buttery, wheat or croissant. Didn't disclose the croissant option was an extra 2$ charge. It may say on the menu but if you already choose sourdough and then it's not an option, shouldn't they tell you, it's an extra charge per croissant? Seems like deception by omission- Didn't notice until I opted for a receipt via text. Cute place but customer service lacks sparkle. Plenty of places to try in SC, maybe we'll skip this one for next time.

The line can get long on weekends but unlike neighboring coffee shops, it seems to move quickly and food comes out faster. Order pastries and bread at the glass case and coffee and breakfast at the registers. Coffee comes out by exit door while food comes out from the kitchen in the middle. The coffee is well balanced. Not sure whose they use but syrups are made in house. Breakfast sandwich looks small but is quite hearty and filling. You can add avocado, bacon, and aioli. This is a go to. West side avocado toast: adds garlic aioli, avocado, and poached egg to the Aptos version. Defn better Pesto goat cheese baguette: three letter review -- OMG Kouign Amann: this one is square, rather than classic round, and a little denser but still layered and not overly sweet. GF brownie: quite good for gluten free but sweeter than I like. Bacon egg galette: the puff pastry is nicely flaky with onions and crispy bacon. Messy but good. The premade sandwiches are all tasty and much better than you get in a grocery store. Customer service is a little hit and miss, based on personalities. There's plenty of seating inside and out.

The cookies themselves are ENORMOUS. They are presented very well, with packed information ("maybe stored in an alright container for up to a week: for optimal freshness and flavor, freeze ANY cookies you don't plan on eating immediately!"). I ordered a loot of cookies to share, along with peanut butter and oatmeal raisin. If you buy them in bulk you can save money. A thousand perfect recommend this place, make sure you get here early (if you can) some of their most popular cookies sell out fast. Thank you, and I look forward to my next visit.

So far Mango is the best flavor we tried. Banana was good but it is a little small. Strawberry was good. Passionfruit was too sour for us. Blueberry was good but not my mothers favorite. Raspberry was a little on the sour side as well. The man behind the counter was very friendly, if its your first time and you like sweets probably get the mango, banana, strawberry and blueberry. We didn't get the coconut because that also has passionfruit inside which was sour. Nor any of the more dense choco or PB flavor ones.

Both times I went were on a Saturday and the line wrapped around the corner before the bakery opened. The line moved pretty quickly. I appreciate that they started making cups with miniature versions of the fruits so you can sample all of them, but once again, pricey. Inside the bakery is pretty, but small. There aren't many seats to sit and wait, so you will probably be standing around the entrance. My favorite so far is the passion fruit. The tartness in the jam compliments the creamy ganache. I enjoyed that the mango had real fruit in it.

This might be ok for little kids who like super-sweet stuff, but it's cloyingly sweet for anyone over the age of 18. 2: The chocolate bombe uses very mild milk chocolate mousse.

I've had multiple iced lattes and iced matchas here, and they've all had so much flavor even without any added sweetener! I love the hours here, and they were even open and had plenty of seating on Labor Day. It does get pretty busy during mid mornings on the weekends, but there's always plenty of seating. The only downside to this location is parking. Since this location is so close to downtown, the only parking available is paid street parking, which bumps up to around $5/hour if you stay past two hours.

Fantastic! They offer tiered cakes and flat sheets with our without flowers. Designs are very limited, but what's more important is how it tastes! They also don't offer any cake tastings, so we will need to familiarize ourselves with the different flavors when we're in town: slice by slice and season by season. Bummer they don't deliver, but hopefully we can get that figured out.
