Best French Bakery in Sullivan's Island

"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."

"On the Mercantile side at this Cigar Factory joint, diners can purchase a treat from local purveyors; sip on a latte; grab a soda, spread, or sandwich from the to-go fridge; or settle in for a finely crafted meal at the chef’s counter. At Mash, patrons find an extensive whiskey list and small bites."

"Mercantile, a food emporium offers breakfast, lunch, coffee, gifts + more. Bar Mash, a cozy spot for a thoughtfully crafted beverage + more."

"Sugar Bakeshop is a magical place full of cupcakes, tarts, cookies, and pie. It is perhaps the only establishment in Charleston selling the legendary Southern Lady Baltimore cakes. Not only are the treats a joy, but the petite storefront is impeccably styled with dreamy details and vintage flair."

"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!)."

"Devoted to making every day special and milestones even better by baking fresh, creative cupcakes. Check out our unique flavors. A Charleston original and a SC favorite!"

"The Airbnb set will find plenty to love at The Restoration, a centrally located Historic District boutique whose 54 apartment-style suites give do-it-yourself warriors all the amenities of a home stay (read stainless steel kitchenettes) with the luxury of a full-service hotel. Each unit is the picture of contemporary urban life, with exposed-brick walls, beamed wood ceilings, and furnishings that look straight out of a West Elm catalog, but there are plenty of small-town comforts, too: Breakfast arrives at your door each morning in a picnic basket, and bicycles are available on loan at the reception desk. Thanks to a recent renovation, the hotel now has a spa and nail salon, a library, and rooftop bar and pool area--it's one cool pad you may never want to leave."

"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."

"Address: 75 Wentworth Street, Charleston, SC 29401Phone: (843) 518-5100Website. Set in the heart of downtown Charleston, The Restoration features both a rooftop bar, The Watch, and a rooftop pool. The Wentworth Street staple also has its own coffee shop, The Rise Coffee Bar, and relaxation heaven, Amethyst Spa."

"Over the past few years, Charleston has become one of the best barbecue cities in the country and Lewis Barbecue in NoMo is a big reason why. They serve all of the Texas barbecue greatest hits, like smoked sausage and turkey, but the brisket is the real reason to come here. Split a giant tray of different meats and sides - especially the green chile corn pudding - along with a pitcher of margaritas or sangria, and find a spot in their backyard to spend the next few hours."

"There’s rarely a moment when this poished joint isn’t packed or without a line of hungry carnivores waiting for ribs, pulled pork, sausage, and the almighty smoked brisket. The latter is owner John Lewis’s specialty—folks from Austin to Charleston know its melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Add a side of green chile corn pudding and an ice-cold cocktail, and you’ll see why this ’cue (and queue) is worth the wait."

"When you’re craving a nutrient-packed acai bowl, Huriyali is the place to go. Enjoy your meal on the back patio, enclosed by lush greenery that creates an almost tropical atmosphere. Choose from the bowl section of the menu with traditional acai, chocolate acai, and more, or grab one of the healthy wraps."

"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!"

"Huriyali offers wraps, salads, and fresh espresso drinks to go with the popular acai bowls. The sunlit garden out back is the ideal quick escape from the work day."

"This neighborhood home-turned-bakeshop serves up some of the most talked-about bread in all of Charleston. You'll see Brown's Court bread and baked goods at local grocery stores, shops, and on many a fine restaurant menu. All the traditional break offerings are there, like Focaccia, Brioche, Challah, and a delicious French Baguette."

"Graham cracker crust + rich, fudgy brownie + toasted marshmallows = happy CofC students. This local bakery is a must-visit. They also have amazing bread, breakfast pastries, and coffee, but I’ll save my enthusiasm for their baguettes for another post."

"This quaint retail/wholesale bakery and café supplies the bread for several eateries in the Charleston area, but it also offers an ever changing selection of pastries, cookies and doughnuts."

"Humbly sharing space with the washers and dryers, this neighborhood sandwich shop is serving up some simply delicious soups and sandwiches. The name of the game here is "grilled panini," and the Persimmon menu holds both consistent regular features as well as guest star specials on a daily basis. Count on regular menu sandwiches like the lump crab with carred onion mayo, the zucchini with fontina and pistachio pistou, the caprese, and the "Adult Grilled Cheese." Persimmon Cafe is also known for the occasional appearance of such specials as the buttnernut squash and curry cashew butter, and even a lobster roll."

"Really, what could be more unassuming than a sandwich shop that’s taken up residence in a college laundromat?. Consistently great sandwiches, salads, drinks, and custards. Eat at the counter, or take it to go and enjoy the sunshine in Marion Square just a few blocks away!"

"I think the name of this dessert speaks for itself — it’s a chocolate hazelnut frozen treat adorned with perfectly brûléed marshmallows. Stop by this little neighborhood gem attached to a laundromat for a hand-spun custard creation."

"We think of two words when we think of Daps: breakfast wine. The kind of all day indulgence they conjure is what this all day breakfast spot does best. Considering what they serve up, it's an unsurprisingly casual crowd here, the kind of people who want a breakfast burrito at 4 p.m."

"This rooftop restaurant and bar has a clear ocean theme, from the food to the decor. Tiki-style drinks are offered at the bar, to get you into a beachy state of mind. Local seafood graces the plates at Balao, and the menu even changes daily to stay fresh and new!"

"The menu can satisfy anyone from families with young children to hungover hipsters. The menu is full of breakfast items like poutine hash, egg sandwiches, patty melts, Fruity Pebbles pancakes, and plenty of mimosas."

"Organized as an outgrowth of the First (Scots) Presbyterian Church, this congregation attracted a new generation of Scottish merchants who planned an ambitious building, which was then outside of the boundaries of the city."

"The church, built in the Jeffersonian style is the fourth oldest church structure in the city. It was built in 1809 by James and John Gordon. The brothers were both the builders and the architects."

"The South Carolina Historical Society Museum is housed in a National Historic Landmark building and features interactive exhibits on the people, places and movements that shaped both the state of South Carolina and the nation."

"Located in the historic Fireproof Building, the SCHS Museum showcases more than 350 years of the state's history through the artifacts and records of those who experienced it."

"Est: 2014 | North CentralYou can’t miss Revelry: the three-story structure towers over its block of Conroy Street between Meeting and Morrison Avenue, and if it’s nice out, you can almost hear the party on the super-popular rooftop before you see it. This North Central mainstay is a beloved post-work/-kickball bar (an intramural league plays in the park) thanks to its genuinely great view and big-flavor beers, several of which have brought home gold from GABF. Revelry is where you party, but The Hold -- their extremely relaxed sister location up the block -- is where you unwind with a pour of a spectacular, limited-run sour beer from their barrel program."

"Revelry is hands down one of the most popular breweries in Charleston, SC. This funky building north of downtown Charleston has a large bar on the first floor in addition to the expansive rooftop area with panoramic views of town. They also serve food!"

"Byrd’s Cookie company actually started in Georgia back in 1924, but it has since brought its Southern flavors to Charleston. Located outside Charleston’s famous City Market, Byrd’s offers a mix of traditional and unique flavors to its crunchy little treats. The best part, aside from the cookies themselves, are the free samples!"
