Best French Bakery in Isle of Palms

"Merc and Mash, as local patrons call it, is the most famous gourmet coffee and breakfast shop in Charleston. Housed within an old cigar factory, the posh coffee shop is flanked with rustic tones, bar seating, versatile workspaces and high-top chairs. Indulge in flavorsome vanilla latte topped with sweet cream, espressos, signature syrup flavored and drip and ice coffee."

"From Farm to Fork," this neighborhood cafe bordering Hampton Park is known for their freshness and local sunny-farm tabel aesthetic. While definitely being the most instagrammable breakfast spot in Charleston.. The Park Cafe's fresh and simple ingredients will have you questioning why everything isn't made this way."

"Mercantile & Mash is your one-stop shop, serving as both a retail space offering grab-and-go food provisions, locally roasted coffee, wine and craft beer, house-cured meats and regional cheese, and a hip hangout for get togethers or work!"

"This beige, white, and Robin's egg blue-colored bakery and dessert shop is small, but hard to miss among Cannon Street's residential buildings and businesses. Sugar Bakeshop has been a massive hit among both locals and visitors to Charleston since opening its doors in 2007, bringing in a growing circle of walk-in sweet lovers as well as special order party and event patrons. From day one, this uber-cute bakery has made local produce sourcing a priority, and the freshness of their ingredients is showcased in a major way among the flavors of their cakes and cupcakes."

"The squat, square block that is Sugar Bakeshop is just so cute!. Snap a shot of its printed shop name or turn the corner to find the cupcake motif painted on its side. For an Instagram-worthy photo, you can pose with your treat of the day (this lavender blueberry cupcake was so yummy!)."

"This is, without question, one of the best bakeries in Charleston, South Carolina. Sugar Bakeshop is a small but cute bakery with helpful staff and super friendly owners. All their baked goods are fantastic: the cakes, tarts, cookies, muffins, pies are great."

"A large-scale photograph of an Icelandic horse at check-in is the first clue that this hotel thinks outside the box; the second is the floor-to-ceiling Angel Oak photos that make the elevator feel like a treehouse. A hotel favorite especially with New Yorkers, The Restoration's urban aesthetic, spacious rooms, and cutting-edge photography installations make it a trendy treat. Make sure to check out rooftop restaurant The Watch, whose small bites menu includes crab cakes and raw oysters."

"One of the best views to be had in Charleston comes from the Watch Rooftop, which is located on the roof of the Restoration Hotel in downtown. You can see the beautiful view of the Ravenal Bridge in the image below from Natalia Tovstik."

"Pitmaster John Lewis brought the best-ever brisket to Charleston by way of Austin, and it's been a hit since day one. The airy dining room is unlike any other barbecue space — it’s clean and modern with several nods to Texas and Mexico, including an 8’ longhorn, a horseshoe, and imported Oaxacan tile on the service counter, but there are plenty of picnic tables in the yard as well. Some of the most popular dishes include the hot guts (sausage), fatty brisket, green chili corn pudding, or the super-moist turkey slices."

"It seems criminal that what many consider the best barbecue in Charleston comes from a Texas pit-master, but such is the nature of a global food scene in a thriving culinary city. John Lewis arrived in town with focus and intention, constructing..."

"Mellow Mushroom is simply one of the best pizza joints, and lunch spots, in the greater Charleston area. Conveniently located on King Street, Mellow Mushroom boasts a colorful, laid-back interior, welcoming staff and a unique combination of freshly tossed and topped pizzas. The extensive Mellow menu offers more than just their signature ultra-cheesy, chewy-dough pizzas creations: fresh salads, pretzel bread apps and build your own pies also share the menu spotlight."

"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."

"Nestled in downtown Charleston’s historic French Quarter for over 31 years, 82 Queen is known for its gracious Southern hospitality and fresh local cuisine. Serving lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch, the restaurant is spread throughout three buildings with eleven quaint dining areas including an 1800’s style courtyard featuring a mammoth Magnolia tree.

"This spot has one of the cutest courtyards in town, perfect for spring lunches; the interior is pretty darn adorable as well. Huriyali offers acai bowls, smoothies, breakfast bowls, wraps, sandwiches, nachos, coffee, and more!"

"Not only is Huriyali hopped up on healthy eats, but it feeds you hip vibes too. Foodies come for the food pics as well as the bright blue palette. Take some photos of the creative murals and brightly colored drinks!"

"If you are running late for work and you don’t have enough time to prepare your breakfast, make a quick stop at the Hen and the Goat restaurant. Select your favorite meals from the menu filled with a number of appetizing meals. The kids’ menu also has delish options to pick from and the best part is that you can request for the meal to be takeaway."

"Chef Thomas Smith stuffs guilty pleasures in between several varieties of doughy bread at Hen & The Goat. Pork belly pairs with Gouda and beer mustard, while the restaurant’s namesake sandwich, The Hen, features turkey, pancetta, and brie."

"Its all you can eat plus they have other items if you do not like sushi. Clean and good service."

"Buffet was kept full but could offer a wider variety of food to choose from. Ample setting for large cr..."
