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!

Finally checked this place out on a Friday afternoon and it did not disappoint! We were greeted by…read morefriendly employees behind the counter who helped to explain their drink menu and desserts. Luckily, considering it was early afternoon, they still had a decent variety of desserts to select from. Their drink menu is very limited, but we chose the honeycomb latte, which was absolutely incredible! (Your dentist won't be thrilled by your choice, however, lol) We also tried their cake bowl of the day and a huge salted chocolate chip cookie, which was probably one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever tasted! The cake bowl was some sort of mixed berry, it was very tasty! There is some indoor seating, but not a lot, as well as a few tables outside when it cools off. The prices could be considered slightly high, but I felt that the quality made for a good value. So, if you're looking for a traditional coffee shop, this is not it. But if you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth in an upscale, trendy locale, you must stop in!

All made in house.. once they are gone, they are gone. The Banana Pudding was amazing. A huge container.. easily enough for 3-4 people. We also bought 4 Macarons .. all different flavors and they were delicious. Just know that they do not open until 11am.. we had a wait of about 15 min. Worth it. They are also closed on Sunday Monday's. It's very chic inside, they have a small seating area & of note they are about to open a Creamery right next door. That will be yum. I'm delighted to be able to support local and wish them all the very best. If I'm ever back in Summerville I'll definitely return to Swank.

Silk Road Bakery is amazing. The husband and wife who run the show are wonderful people and are…read moregreat at what they do. We got our wedding cake from Silk Road. Their honey cake was the only cake my husband wanted for our wedding. We tried so many other cakes but no other would do. So much so that I drove it from North Charleston to Clover, SC so we could have it for our big day (over 3 hours). The cake was beautifully done with very realistic sugar flowers making the shape of a heart with two swans in the center and pearls throughout. The cake was amazing. We had so many of our guests say it was the best wedding cake they ever had and so many asking where they could get their hands on this cake. The amount of people who had 2-3 slices of cake because they loved it so much was great. I could not recommend enough. They were extremely communicative and even sent pictures as the cake was in the different stages of being completed. If i could rate higher than 5 stars, I would easily. *I will post photos once I get them back from our photographer!*

We were in the area and looking for a nice place to stop for a coffee and a dessert. We didn't…read morerealize that this bakery was housed in an industrial kitchen, with other vendors. If it was advertised as such, I certainly missed it. There is only pick up / take out available. That being said, we had read a review about their honey cake, so I grabbed a piece out of the cooler to take home. It did not disappoint! It was very tasty! So, if you are looking to pick up some desserts or anything else from any of the other vendors there, it's a good place to go and support local businesses. But if you're looking for a sitdown coffee shop, this is not it.

Our visit to Marion's Gelato was absolutely fabulous! I tried three flavors--praline caramel, dark…read morechocolate, and coffee--and each one was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. My husband ordered the tiramisu gelato served over a square of tiramisu cake, and it was pure yummo. Absolutely delicious! Marion herself is a true delight and clearly passionate about quality. I love that she focuses on wholesome ingredients, avoiding chemicals and unnecessary additives--you can truly taste the difference. This will definitely be a regular stop whenever we're visiting our son in Mount Pleasant. It's more than worth the drive from Johns Island. Highly recommend to anyone who loves exceptional gelato and warm, personal service! Chat with Marion too, she takes great pride in bringing exceptional product for reasonable prices. She is so charming and will brighten your day. So happy we gave this a try! Closed Mondays, ample parking and conveniently located near Costco.

Sweeteeth Chocolate makes my heart flutter. Not the nervous about-go-on-a-first-date flutter, but…read morethe oh-my-gosh-you-are-so-good-to-me flutter. I have a serious crush on these sweets. Sweeteeth Chocolate makess high-quality chocolates and bon bons with unique flavor pairings. All of their products are made by hand and do not contain any preservatives. Sweeteeth was started by John Eric Battles, an Alabama native who previously worked at EVO Pizzeria here in Charleston. While working at EVO, "Johnny" created these treats that quickly spread through Charleston and can now be found all around the country. Their best bar is the Sea is for Caramel: 62% dark chocolate, smooth caramel, and sprinkled with sea salt. It's incredible to say the least. Don't even look at the price tag -- it's worth every hard-earned penny. I also really like the Cinnapsis: milk chocolate with chewy cinnamon apple bits and crunchy, candied pecans. Each bite of this bar is different, depending on how much apple or candied nut is in your bite. The PB&C bar (peanut butter with smoky chipotle pepper) is different. The peanut butter tastes very natural but the smokiness throws you off. Get your paws on a Sea is for Caramel bar. Immediately.

He brought me the chocolate sampler pack, a bunch of salted caramel dark chocolate bars, and salted caramel sauces. I mean, I have been OD'ing on chocolate and caramel for months now. But I've been good this year, and I've been sharing my chocolate with co-workers. Everyone loves this stuff-- it's like crack drips out of the salted caramel bar or something. I don't know what it is, but it's magical. Do yourself or someone else a favor and order some Sweeteeth. Or at least go to their website and admire the pictures of their chocolate bars.
