Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Folly Beach

"A brewery, beer destination and restaurant in one, Edmund’s Oast turns out house-made charcuterie and quality dishes in a massive outdoor beer garden and indoor restaurant space alongside house beers, guest beers, cocktails and spirits (heavy on American whiskey but including everything from amari to gin). Head bartender Jayce McConnell ensures spirits drinkers won’t suffer for choices alongside the beer crowd. What to Drink: Go the vacation-like, savory Thai route with the likes of Pad Thai Mai Tai (rum, curaçao, lime, peanut, cilantro and a Charleston gold rice “orgeata”—an orgeat-horchata mix) or focus on whiskey with a drink like The Cowboy Song (Wyoming whiskey, huckleberry, mint, Peychaud’s bitters).http://edmundsoast.com"

Luckily, Recovery Room owner Chris "Boston" DiMattia saved the space and transformed it into a seven-day-a-week karaoke bar.

"King Street Historic District A neighborhood cocktail bar with a retro Caribbean vibeDalila’s is a cozy, neighborhood craft cocktail bar that gives you that “everyone knows your name” vibe, even if it’s your first time in. It’s a great bar for a first date, as the lighting is moody, the drinks are strong, and the servers are helpful without being overbearing. The cocktail list changes seasonally, but one of our favorites is the Eastern Court (with gin, pineapple, apricot, and lime) that puts a tropical twist to a traditional gimlet."

"Cocktails are the name of the game here with fragrant, festive, and spirit-forward drinks that tour the tropics. Skillful twists on classics like the Casa Grande (a rum Sazerac) strike a balance of playful finesse. If you're feeling peckish, get the Elvis in Miami (almond butter, sweet plantains, bacon, and media noche bread), an island-y spin on the King's iconic sandwich by Spanglish Cuban Kitchen."

"While most buildings in Charleston reflect the city’s antebellum history, The Spectator recalls its Gilded Age glamour. In the center of the French Quarter and near the iconic market, the 1920s-themed boutique hotel features antiqued mirrored ceilings, Deco-inspired wallpaper, and an ornate Murano glass chandelier (keep an eye out for Daisy, the stuffed white peacock in the lobby lounge that has become something of an unofficial mascot). The 41 guest rooms are outfitted with velvet headboards and marble vanities, but the hotel’s real draw is a personalized butler for each guest, who can arrange everything from a dinner reservation to a custom shoe polish."

"Local interior designer Jenny Keenan spearheaded the Spectator’s art deco–inspired aesthetic, which includes thoughtful details like hand-painted wallpaper and a three-tiered chandelier that sparkles with 1,800 hand-strung glass crystals.

When morning rolls around, it’s best to stay in bed—a locally sourced in-room breakfast is provided with each night’s stay."

"Sugar Bakeshop may be best described for its community-oriented disposition – its owners left the bustling allure of the Big Apple and found a new home in the southern cradle city of Charleston, South Carolina. The neighborhood bakeshop sources its ingredients locally (farm fresh eggs, herbs from an on-site garden plot) and their website’s homepage even features a communal outreach post for togetherness (addressing the city’s tragic incidents of mid-June 2015). Cupcakes, tarts, and cookies are all made in-house and fresh to order."
