I had wanted to check out Annie O Love Cafe of Sweet Abundance in West Ashley for a while. We…read moremanaged to do that yesterday. They have ample parking outside, cool vibe decor inside with lots of wall art. The staff were very helpful considering it was our first time & I didn't realize it was also a Vegan cafe along with being Gluten Free. I was kinda lost with the rather large menu. We settled on a coffee with Oat milk & a Tofu based spicy sandwich with avocado. It was good and I'm glad I gave this style of food a try. However it's not for me. In saying that what a fabulous restaurant for people who are vegan and or gluten free. You have tons of options here and should definitely check it out.

Absolutely love love love this place! Everything is GF and most things are vegan as well! You can…read moreenjoy healthy ingredients while having them taste good. Who knew?! If you have an allergy, everything is marked. They do use coconut for their cookies, but even my BF who doesn't like coconut enjoys their treats and loves their smoothies. I'm a big fan of their "Chicken" & waffles... Think peanut butter tofu and deliciousness. The staff are very friendly and helpful at explaining everything but the menu alone does a fantastic job of spelling everything out. It has a nice, warm feel when you enter the premise. It's a good place to meet us with a friend or enjoy a bite and drink on your own!

Selection of sweet and savory treats here are phenomenal. TEXAS JALAPEÑO KOLACHE is very tasty. The…read moresausage is not overly salty. The jalapeño vibe pops but is not too overwhelming. The pastry was a bit underdone. Looks like it may have been popped in the oven too fast and too furiously. Otherwise, amazing job SoCarolina! The TOMATO BACON PIMENTO CHEESE PIE is an homage to all the Southern Mommas. It is simply divine in all its cheesy tomatoey glory. Edited to add: the SWEET POTATO AND CARAMELIZED COFFEE CAKE is heaven! It's light and pillowy. Not too sweet, not too crumbly. Whoever concocted the idea for this creation has to know this is the potential masterpiece of everyone's morning. I was just missing the coffee with it, ha! The GINGER COOKIE is iced and sprinkled with sugar for texture. Also amazingly baked. I just wished it had some crystallized ginger pieces for more spice!

I haven't been here for a while and this bakery is a great choice!…read moreThe service was good, the person that took my order was friendly, and everyone there seems pretty happy. I was craving chocolate croissant and warm coffee in this winter weather and decided to stop by wildflour pastry. I ended up order the chocolate croissant, cortado with oat milk, and 4" quiche (sausage, red pepper, and goat cheese). They all so good and the chocolate croissant is one of the best I have ever eat! If you haven't been to this place then you definitely need to get the croissant and other bakery from this place.

Stopped by the cutest bakery yesterday in the revamped Citadel Mall, called Simply Your Desserts…read more I picked up some beautiful decorated cupcakes, an adorable sprinkle suger cookie and a few dessert bars. Our two favorite bites: First, the brownie was a rich and deeply chocolate-ly brownie. Paired perfectly with my coffee. Second, the perfectly balanced strawberry cupcake with jellied strawberries and a cream cheese frosting swirl. I love that Charleston is finding new and creative ways to revitalize the Mall! Stop by sometime soon and get you a sweet treat!

I literally had the best almond croissant of my life! The chocolates were also mind blowing! They look stunning and taste even more amazing. There are even a few unusual flavored chocolates like bleu cheese (don't knock it until you try it)!! You can also order their hot chocolate/coffee drink and won't be disappointed!! Prices run on the high end here, but as a tip, stop in during their "happy hour" which I believe is a two hour window where chocolates are buy one get one free. It's cute inside but even cuter on their back patio area which showcases a fun European style painted wall. I can't wait to return!

Ctr (Yorkmont & Tyvola for my local folks) from 1-3 and I took a chance and rode by today. She is parked near the entrance closest to Tyvola Rd. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors I had to choose from that I couldn't decide at first. The own Emma made a few recommendations which was helpful so I decided to go with the 4 cupcake sampler which was perfect. I was able to share with my coworkers when I returned to work. The packaging was great as I was able to carry them back to work without ruining the look of them. Please stop by and have yourself a sweet treat if you work near the Belk Corp Center on Tuesdays. I know I will be a repeat customer!

Bakeshop of my dreams!!…read more This truly tiny bakeshop was super close by where I was staying in Downtown Charleston (the Moxy) and I'm so glad it was. I discovered it on Yelp when I was looking for spots to stop by before heading to the airport for my flight for a quick bite. There's the tiny bakeshop storefront and right next door is where they do all the baking. I'm noting this because I almost walked into the other spot but thankfully they had a sign on the door saying it was staff only and the bakeshop was right next door. The storefront itself had all the Southern charm, with a classic flower window box at the window and the friendliest staff greeting you as soon as you walked in. I went on a weekday around 8am and it wasn't busy at all. I was able to peruse their AMAZING selection & had the hardest time choosing. Thankfully, I had my uber waiting for me so I had to make quick decisions. I ended up getting a pastel de nata, everything bagel kolache, fig leaf sugar bun, and a dark choco chip cookie (because I always need to try the local cookie). Everything tasted fresh and delicious! I loved the variety in their pastries and was amazed that there were concepts for pastries I've never heard or tried before. Their menu selection is crazy and I would 100% come back to Charleston just for this bakery. I'll be back again! Thanks to Yelp for bringing me to my now fav bakeshop on this planet.

Welton's was recommended to me by a friend who lives in Charleston and wow... I am so, so, so, so…read moreglad we listened. This ended up being our very last stop before leaving town and it may have just been the best stop of the entire trip. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved quickly, and everyone we encountered from those in line to the employees were incredibly friendly. The bakery itself is absolutely adorable and I immediately found myself wishing I had a bigger suitcase (and a bigger appetite). Deciding what to order was nearly impossible because I wanted at least one of everything. I somehow exercised a tiny bit of self-control in this tiny bakeshop and settled on a breakfast sandwich along with a pastry to go. Both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I only wish we had discovered Welton's earlier in our trip because I know we would have gone back at least once... probably twice... okay, maybe every morning. If you ever find yourself in Charleston, do yourself a favor and make this a priority stop. 100% worth the wait! A million stars for Weltons Tiny Bakeshop.
