    Fresh bakery
    Carolyn L.

    Stopped by today for breakfast. As we parked we can hear live music coming from the back. So we opted to sit outside. Our hostess asked if we can wait for 5/10 mins so they can clean up in the back. The Owner of Z's came out to chat with us. I have to admit: she's the nicest lady around. Very pleasant. And invited us into the cafe to tour the place. Showed us their home made bake goodies. And the house. We left on our own to tour the rest of the house.. I currently live in Charlotte and to see a place like this be transformed from a house to a breakfast and bakery was really special. Charlotte Nc seem to be running over every spot. And just built something completely new. Don't even try to preserve the old. I ordered the croissant with eggs and cheese. 2 sausages and a cup of fruits.. The eggs was scramble but it was nicely made. Every soft. And not over cook. I really enjoyed it. The sausages are usual cook to the standards so nothing to say there. Customer service overall is great.. I would like to come back to try other goodies.

    Food is amazing. Omg best biscuit sandwich ever. The biscuit is flaky and moist. Delicious. I work in the area but I wish they had one near me.

    Cute little restaurant converted from a house. We had the breakfast platter and croissant egg and cheese sandwich. Service was nice. The food took longer than expected considering it's breakfast. The parking lot is small and is gravel if that matters to you.

    Stopped in today around 10 am for breakfast, there was no wait probably due to the rain, they set me up with a high chair and the rest is history. Everyone was so nice and sweet. The food was delicious. I will add this in as one of my favorite breakfast places in Fort Mill! Make sure to check them out when you are in the area!

    Bacon and egg platter with biscuit and hash brown casserole! Perfection!

    We've been more times than possible to count at this point and every single time has been excellent. We appreciate that they refresh their menus but also keep the favorites as well. Today we had breakfast platters and also their cinnamon french toast which holy moly was DELISH. The service here is what makes this place special- it's very much a small town feel and incredibly welcoming. You really get the sense that they care if you like the food and your experience. They also have great coffee! Can't recommend this place enough, super cute, amazingly sweet staff and great home cooked food!

    Time to FES up: A great local spot! I have been trying this place since it opened. I think they have really improved on some things since the beginning. F(ood): Most recently, I had a fabulous soup, turkey Reuben and pecan pie cupcake! I've also enjoyed the Mozzarella Panini. The Mac and cheese very good. I didn't love my Belgian waffle at a breakfast but they were quick to make me another (too hard first time around). Mac and cheese very good. Need to try some salads. Overall very good food just once in awhile I'll have something I don't love. I'm giving five stars because last two meals were great!! E(nvironment): a renovated house in downtown Fort Mill. Cute welcoming space. Can eat on porch, outside or there are various rooms in house. Local art adorn different areas. Able to reserve rooms. S(Service): Always met with friendliness. Trina and Kristen have helped me organize a Sunday event and were extremely flexible and helpful. Service has always been friendly and accountable. ***I also love that this locally owned group cares about their community. They have had events on holidays to support those lonely, homeless, etc. Love in action!

    This is a cute little place tucked away in fort mill. Parking can be challenging during buy times. This place was sort of busy for Saturday around 12 noon. Hosts at front were very welcoming. We were seated inside. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Food was also delicious and tasty. The only thing, I would have liked hash browns a little more crunchy. Overall we had a positive experience. Overall 4.24/5

    Food is always hot and delicious. The grits with the hash-brown casserole mixed in are awesome. Large portions. Friendly service. The outdoor eating area is quaint and I enjoy hearing the birds while eating.

    Food and service are always great when we go here. A favourite Fort Mill spot, just a little hidden from Main St.

    I am not from Charlotte and decided to try this bakery. I stumbled on this location online and…read moreliked the images viewed. I had the opportunity to order my cake months in advance. Below are some helpful tips to help you determine if this is the bakery that you would like to try: There is an online payment system available, which makes it easy. The prices are higher than your typical bakery, at least three times higher. Despite the prices being higher, they do not deliver. The cake topper broke that was on my cake for my milestone birthday. This was not a good experience. The cake did not look as desired for my photos. The cake was not moist but dry. It had a great deal of flavor of the vanilla, but was not the tastiest cake that I have tried to Charlotte so far. I am not sure how long is sitting in the refrigerator prior to pick up and when it was made or how it was stored, but I have a problem with that. Out of 15 guests not one person like the cake. I found it a bit embarrassing as the host. Hours of operation for pick up are limited. Good luck!

    We ordered a custom mushroom cake. Thank you so much for the beautiful cake! Everyone agrees that…read morethe cake is outstanding and special. Very detailed! So pretty that you feel bad about cutting it. :-) I'm sure it's going to be so memorable for the birthday girl. We got the vanilla flavor cake and it is tasty. Thank you, Sweet Boutique Bakery!

The lemon ice cream with lemon Oreos. She suggested it and it didn't disappoint. It was extremely good and refreshing. I will definitely return to this location in the future. There aren't many cold stones in the area and this may be one of the closest to me.

    This Cold Stone location in Fort Mill is much better than the Rivergate location in Steele Creek…read more I'm a little closer to the Rivergate location, but this one is worth it coming the little extra way. Each time I've ordered, whether online or in person has been a great experience. One time recently, I tried ordering online, and it would not let me use my coupon - kept saying I needed to add valid items to my cart. I would add different items, and still nothing would work. I went inside and explained the situation. They tried to do the order in the system first before making my order to see if it would work. They had no issues applying the coupon that was on my account to what I wanted to order. Allison J. was on the receipt that time, which appears to be a manager based on other reviews. She is excellent - friendly and helpful! I do hope they bring back the Don't lay a finger on my Butterfinger creation because it was very good - peanut butter ice cream with Butterfingers, caramel, and chocolate. Yum!
