    We've been going to Sugar for 14 years. And yes, the new owners have kept the classic cupcakes and…read morecookies. Go early, order ahead, and skip the weekend rush. Our go-to sweets are the chocolate chip cookie, double chocolate cookie, and the almond cupcake. All delicious.

    I learned about this gem on my last day of visiting Charleston and I'm so glad I stopped in. We got…read morethere as they were opening right at 10 o'clock and we were the first customers. The shop is super cute inside. And it smelled absolutely delicious. I love the way that they had everything laid out for you to see. And the ladies that worked there were very sweet and answered any questions that we had. I like that when you start to tell them what you want they have a cake plate that they put your items on and then they'll box it up at the end. It just had a really special feel to the service of how they treat you there. Now let's get into the sweet treats. I bought a chocolate chip cookie, a oatmeal raisin cookie and a ginger molasses cookie. They were all delicious, but that oatmeal raisin cookie was amazing. I also got too many cupcakes. I did the vanilla blueberry and the honey. Both were very good. And I got a pecan brownie. I loved the pecan brownie! My only problem with the brownie is that it's so small. I would love for them to make them bigger for the price, but absolutely delicious. I love that none of the sweets tasted too sweet. They were perfectly balanced. I recommend checking out the spot. It will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth.

    If you're walking down King Street in Charleston, do yourself a favor and stop into Rocky Mountain…read moreChocolate Factory! Not only were the treats absolutely delicious, but the owner Mike made this one of the sweetest experiences I had on our trip. I have a severe peanut allergy, which usually means I can't safely enjoy anything in places like this. Without hesitation, Mike HANDMADE me a fresh chocolate dipped marshmallow so I could actually enjoy a treat too. That level of kindness and care meant more to me than he probably realizes. We had such a wonderful conversation and you can truly tell he cares about his customers and creating a welcoming experience for everyone. Small acts of kindness like this go such a long way, especially for people with food allergies who are so often left out. Thank you again, Mike, for going above and beyond and making me feel included. Highly recommend stopping in!!! They have amazing treats, amazing customer service, and are genuinely good people. Charleston needs more places like this!

Iced coffee was refreshing I came back the next morning for another round. It was flavorful yet not sugary. It definitely gave me a kick and got addicted to it, except I'm only in the area for 4 days. Staff and manager were friendly yet professional. Although I was charged twice, the manager assured me they would fix it once the line was manageable. Somehow I trusted her word for it, just the manner with which she handled it was text book! Indeed, saw the overcharged taken care of by the next day. A must stop in downtown historic Charleston for sure! Great awesome pastries, sandwiches Parisian style made and clean refreshing breakfast beverages. This is the best patisserie option which actually lives up to its name, unlike those wannabe k ones!!!

The pastry case was full and beautiful with savory and sweet options. There's a fair amount of indoor seating and a few outdoor tables. I ordered a hazelnut latte which was bold and delicious. Despite saying I was dining in, it was served in a to go cup - I do wish I received it in a cup/mug. I also tried the almond croissant which was flaky and not overly sweet. The croque monsieur was indulgent and cheesy - although, I wish it was slightly hotter when served. The portion of everything matched the price.

I was looking for a place near the event to do a neighborhood tie in and they made me 7 dozen mini cupcakes. I sent an inquiry and we worked out the details over email. I initially was going to get a few dozen regular sized cupcakes, but Christen suggested the mini's for bite sized snacking in a mingling... setting which was perfect. We set a pickup time and I went to grab them just before my event. Christen had them ready and greeted me at the door. She actually does all the baking off site at a commercial kitchen and then offers pickup from her beautiful home downtown. I love this old school way of doing business and it adds a personal touch. Now for the cakes! Everyone was raving about them and asking where they came from... even people who said they don't even like chocolate cake (weirdos if you ask me). I lucked out because my guests had restraint and didn't devour every last mini cupcake so I took home about a dozen of them and enjoyed all of them with zero judgement from the party goers. I can't wait to try a whole cake from this place... it's gonna be amazing.
