Best French Bakery in Folly Beach

"Mercantile and Mash is a gourmet food emporium located in the Cigar Factory on East Bay Street. The new age concept boasts a unique combination of a food hall (Mercantile) that offers homemade sandwiches, freshly baked goods, handmade pasta, local and imported culinary items, and freshly brewed coffee, and a full-service whiskey bar (Mash). Mercantile serves breakfast, lunch, and early dinner with breakfast offerings ranging from house-made granola and yogurt, toasted oats, and stoneground white grits to frittatas, salmon and cream cheese, huevos wraps, and spicy chicken biscuits."

"Located within the beautifully renovated Old Cigar Factory, Mercantile and Mash is an excellent place for coffee, breakfast, lunch, or even a glass of wine. Long community tables cover one half of the shop, allowing people to mingle, while the other side offers a long bar near the barista stand as well as smaller, more private tables. Order the Paris by Night, a Vietnamese-style shot of iced coffee with a mint leaf, for a major caffeine rush, or take it easy with a warm, sweet cream latte or hibiscus-flavored tea."

"Wednesday is doughnut day at Mercantile and Mash, where guests can order a signature gourmet doughnut that’s made in-house. Look for flavors like ginger molasses or caramel apple."

"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."

"Year-round, they have options such as Almond Chocolate Coconut, Lemon Curd, and Caramel and based on the season, they offer Hazelnut, Peanut Butter, Honey and more. They also sell mini-cupcakes for only $1.75 if you’re trying to save calories and money."

"A little off the beaten path of the downtown corridor, Lewis Barbecue is worth the added travel time. Renowned Austin pit master John Lewis steers the food program, and the menu is simple but abundant—large slabs of melt-in-your-mouth brisket, smoked sausages, and an array of sides, like corn pudding and tangy coleslaw. Here, it's all about the tray, and once you go through the line, chances are you will have one stacked with hedonistic glory."

"Opened in 2010 and renovated in 2016, the Restoration consists of five historic buildings bordering a courtyard. Sleek and modern rooms with exposed brick and high ceilings range from 500-square-foot studios to a three-bedroom residential suite with a full kitchen. Also at the hotel: a rooftop pool and bar known for its sunset views, the Amethyst Spa and Nail Bar, the Mercantile Boutique & Gallery retail store, a farm-to-table restaurant, and a coffee shop that delivers breakfast baskets to your room."

"An AAA Four Diamond hotel, the Restoration on King lives up to its name--a modern luxury property that still retains the beautiful 'bones' of its historic structures. Renovated and transformed into a boutique hotel in 2010, The Restoration on King is on the verge of another expansion this year. Expect loft-style rooms in The Restoration, complete with mod-chic furnishings and decor, high ceilings, and gleaming hardwood floors."

"This Charleston The Restoration hotel and spa features a library, restaurant, and shop. The hotel is located only 550 metres from the College of Charleston and 9 minutes' walk to Charleston City Ma..."

"Prepare yourself: Mellow Mushroom pizza is unlike any other pizza you've had before. The distinctive Mellow Mushroom style is a unique (and perhaps perfect) blend of chewy dough baked in a stone hearth, with an impressive array of topping ingredients available. There's a dozen or so pre-imagined pizza offerings on the menu, including the Magical Mystery Tour, Kosmic Karma, and Mighty Meaty, alongside calzones, pretzel knots, salads, and hoagies."

"Not only does Mellow Mushroom offer red sauce, olive oil, or barbecue sauce as a base for its pizzas, it also has vegan toppings such as tofu, tempeh, and Daiya cheese."

"A savory staple of the South, grits have been a part of Lowcountry cuisine since the sixteenth century. Nearly 500 years later, the owners of Grace & Grit have opened a counter service lunch spot, appropriately named The Grit Counter. Serving the same great recipes that give Grace & Grit its widespread appeal, The Grit Counter, even in its infancy, has been exceptionally well received."

"If you've ever seen pictures of Charleston, you may have already seen parts of Rainbow Row. It's one of the most famous parts of Charleston and a popular tourist site. Here there are thirteen historic, colorful houses in a row that share party walls with each other."

"This historic market complex is located right where it should be- in the heart of downtown Charleston. Here you can get in some of the best shopping you'll find in the entire area, and do it inside of the 200-year old brick market buildings. The selection of local goods and heritage crafts is quite eclectic, sea grass baskets and spices being some of these."

"Peruse local treats, wares, textiles, art, and more at the Historic Charleston City Market!. This National Historic Landmark has been around since the 1790s."

"Known as the "Holy City", for its long tolerance for religions of all types, Charleston is the state's most beautiful and historic treasure...."

"While it’s the “farthest” away from downtown, it’s only 1 mile from Tradesman Brewing and definitely worth a visit. A unique and quirky atmosphere in a refurbished warehouse, Lo-Fi Brewing is a chill place to come knock one back with friends. Be sure to try the Glitter Pony Triple or Rally Cat IPA which are bomb AF!"

"Funky vibes echo throughout this former warehouse on Meeting Street. Owner Jason Caughman prides himself on this and his ability to brew drinkable beers, like their flagship Mexican lager with whole-leaf hops. The minimalist decor mirrors the relaxed nature that comes with a visit to Lo-Fi."

"This comfortable, casual brewery is a fun time day or night, and brings in an all ages (over 21) for some of Charleston's very best locally-brewed beer. Highlights from the sizeable, award-winning selection at Revelry Brewing include the Gullah Cream Ale, Funkmaster Brett & the Furious Hops, and the Oh My Darlin' Scotch Ale, among many others. Locals love the ample outdoor space at Revelry, equipped with heat lamps in winter, shady covered areas in summer, and enough bar seating and picnic tables to bring a crowd."

"This three-story structure is a premier Charleston rooftop sitting near Conroy Street. Visitors can hear the party at this joint before they see it if there are no noise distractions. Residents often stop by this spot after work to relax and enjoy its big-flavor beers."

"Among Charleston’s two dozen thriving breweries, Revelry may have the best digs. It’s located in the peninsula’s NoMo neighborhood and sports a spacious, laid-back rooftop deck bar that’s perfect for viewing sunset over the Holy City skyline."
