Great food, fast, friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and reasonably priced. Can’t recommend enough! The only aspect that may be off putting for some, is the seating arrangement is a bit tight. You sit at counters which results in you sitting right next to other dinners. I kinda liked it though.

What a cute little spot. Delicious food and great service — try the croissant & house-made lemonade. It’s quite small inside, so try and score a patio seat.

Came here for lunch and was immediately greeted. The place has a cozy, cool vibe. Everything on the menu sounded amazing, it was so hard to choose! I ordered the Open-Faced Sandwich Provençal, and it was absolutely delicious! The salad with vinaigrette was outstanding, I’ll most definitely be back!

TL;DR: One of the best lunches I’ve had in Charleston. Ordered the Special of the Day—a ham, cheese, apple, and pickled onion sandwich on baguette bread—served with potato soup and a choice of house wine, French press coffee, or tea. The sandwich was outstanding, with perfectly balanced flavors and textures, while the soup was underwhelming and bland. Service was quick and efficient. Overall, excellent value for the price and well worth a visit. --- As of this writing, I can confidently say this is one of the best places I’ve eaten at in Charleston.

I adore this place more than I can put into words. I’ve been coming here for 4 years and never have been disappointed. I’ve introduced this place to countless friends, family, and my partner. Everyone has been mind blown. Absolutely adorable decor inside. The vibe is always relaxing and chill. Really makes you feel like you’re at a little cafe in France. My go to order is the Croq Baguette with turkey. It’s delicious, filling, and only $8! The prices here can’t be beat. The taste of the food is incredible. After 4 years, I’m still shocked at how amazing it is. Service is great, I’m usually seated immediately. Seriously I recommend this place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Amazing amazing amazing!!! A true gem in Charleston.
