Has indoor and outdoor seating with display case for all the pastries and food they serve Food: crossiant, chocolate banana crossiant and iced vanilla latte. The crossiant was light and fluffy and not too overly buttery. The chocolate banana crossiant had a good proportion of filling to pastry so it wasn't overly full but you were able to get the flovor I. Each bite. The ice vanilla latte was good, not too sweet.

OMG ya'll, the tomato pie!! I am obsessed with tomatoes and I'm also from the Northeast where…read morenothing like this exists, so you can imagine my excitement to try it. And I'm happy to report that it exceeded my expectations! The slice of pie was HUGE (very tall) and it had some kind of a sauce/cheese combo on top of the tomatoes that was fantastic. Combined with the pie crust, it reminded me of a slice of Chicago deep dish pizza! My husband and I also shared the following: cinnamon rolls, salted caramel brownie and a white chocolate raspberry bread pudding muffin. All were huge, rich in flavor and very satisfying. I already can't wait to come back again! :)

I've been wanting to try this place since seeing their tomato pie reviews, but live West Ashley and…read morenever make it that side during their hours. Finally made it this past Thursday. The place is a nice sized neighborly cafe. The bakery display was very tempting, but I had to remind myself why I was here, TOMATO PIE!! Let me preface this by saying I'm from Charleston (lived here all my life except for 2 years), and I LOVE Tomato Pie. I was in utter shock when I saw how huge their Tomato Pie was. I ordered it to go and did not have it heated when ordered. I asked the gentlemen at the counter how he recommended heating it and he suggested in an oven over a microwave to keep the crust crisp. So that is how I heated it. For the cheese lovers this one is for you!! The cheese was a bit excessive and over powering for me. I did not like this tomato pie at all. It lacked flavor to me, and I'm usually one that believes seasonings should enhance the flavor of the food, not cover/overwhelm the palate. What I tasted was CHEESE, tomatoes and a bland crust. I saw the herbs/seasonings underneath the cheese, but did not taste it at all. To each their own, but this in no way tastes like the classic southern tomato pie I grew up loving. I gave a 3 because the menu had MANY options that looked appealing that I may go back to try.

Most pieces had a little bit of fat on them. It also comes with this side of creamy rice, veggies, and sausage dish. It was savory and full of spices, neither spicy nor sweet. It was just very good. The Coxcinha (Brazilian chicken croquette) filled with seasoned chicken and cheese was a savory treat. I would definitely get that again. They also serve Brazilian style pizza starting at 6. The young man at the counter was very helpful and shared the ingredients of each item. He also had a great attitude. They have tables and chairs inside; also a restroom.

The staff was amazing--one of the girls took her time helping me pick out a coffee she knew I'd love, which I really appreciated. We had our dog with us, so we sat outside, and she even brought the pastry out to us--such a nice touch! The croissant was good, but I personally prefer a lot of chocolate and felt it was a little light (just my taste). Overall, definitely worth giving them a try!

"Marine colors, chocolate interior, platoon number, etc." We drove almost an hour to pick this up. If it weren't for the editable paper insignia, one would guess it was for a baby shower with the colors used. To make matters worse, the lid smashed into the top layer while we were driving back. I should have NOT bought it but felt weird since we went to the guy's house to pick it up. His store front had closed. We ended up leaving it at the Airbnb and not presenting it to our marine because it looked so bad. I'm sure it tasted good, but lacked in presentation. I was really disappointed. Russ did offer to come by and fix the top but by the time we connected we were no longer at the house and the cake was in the trash.

We each ordered a panini. I went with the vegetarian option and my husband had the smoked salmon. Both were very good--fresh ingredients and tasty flavors--and came with a small side salad. Nothing extravagant, but solid and satisfying. Afterward, we lingered with coffee and pastries. The chocolate-filled pastry and the pecan almond cinnamon roll were both excellent, and the coffees were tasty (though my café au lait was a bit on the smaller side). The standout was the service. The young lady working the counter was genuinely friendly, helpful, and patient as we asked questions and took our time deciding. It made the whole visit feel welcoming. Overall, although the price was a bit high for lunch and dessert, we had a pleasant experience and will definitely be back for another lunch or just to grab pastries and coffee. A nice local French bakery vibe without being fussy. Recommended.

This cozy little spot, sits in an older plaza off Old Trolley Rd in Summerville. The owner couldn't have been nicer. We got a peanut chocolate pie that was just so good. The peanut butter filing was rich, and the crust was more like a chocolate brownie. We also got 2 chocolate chip cookies. The cookie was large and dense, which we thought was perfect for sharing. The center of cookie was loaded chocolate, and was just so good. We are sure to go back and try some of the other options.

I also ordered a latte and was excited to see they use king bean for their espresso, which is a really good local brand. The only thing I didn't like was the Torani syrup for flavors. It's a personal preference as a former barista, but making your own syrups or using Monin tastes better in my opinion. I ordered a whoopie pie as well to go and it was good. It was pretty sweet and large so it took about 3 days to eat. It still seems like they are working out the kinks as a newly opened business. I look forward to this fall holiday season and what they will come out with next!

Swank has done it again! I recently attended Friends & Family Night at the new Swank Creamery,…read morelocated right next door to Swank Desserts in Summerville, and I was impressed with this new addition! First, the space is beautiful! I love the bold, vibrant colors and the attention to detail throughout the shop. Everything was extremely clean, organized, and inviting. They also have a wonderful indoor and outdoor seating area, making it a great spot for families, date nights, or just grabbing a sweet treat. Now, let's talk about the ice cream! Swank offers a wide variety of flavors with some really fun and creative names. Their seasonal menu includes flavors like "Who Made the Yams?" featuring roasted sweet potato ice cream, marshmallow fluff, and sweet potato pie cheesecake, and "The Blacker the Berry," made with vanilla bean ice cream, black currant jam, and oat streusel. I love seeing a business get creative with flavors while incorporating Southern-inspired ingredients. We started with vanilla ice cream served in a freshly made waffle cone, and it was absolutely delicious! They also offer freshly baked cookies, including a matcha cookie that caught my attention. If you have trouble deciding on a flavor, they offer ice cream flights so you can sample several options. Another nice touch is their coffee selection. They serve espresso and specialty lattes, including Brown Butter and Caramelized Banana, so there's something for coffee lovers, too. The customer service was excellent! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I also enjoyed seeing other local business owners come out to support the opening. It's always wonderful to see our local business community supporting one another. Overall, I'm really excited about Swank Creamery! Between the creative flavors, freshly baked cookies, beautiful atmosphere, and friendly service, I think this will be a great addition to Summerville. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more of their unique flavors. Definitely worth checking out!

Finally checked this place out on a Friday afternoon and it did not disappoint! We were greeted by…read morefriendly employees behind the counter who helped to explain their drink menu and desserts. Luckily, considering it was early afternoon, they still had a decent variety of desserts to select from. Their drink menu is very limited, but we chose the honeycomb latte, which was absolutely incredible! (Your dentist won't be thrilled by your choice, however, lol) We also tried their cake bowl of the day and a huge salted chocolate chip cookie, which was probably one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever tasted! The cake bowl was some sort of mixed berry, it was very tasty! There is some indoor seating, but not a lot, as well as a few tables outside when it cools off. The prices could be considered slightly high, but I felt that the quality made for a good value. So, if you're looking for a traditional coffee shop, this is not it. But if you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth in an upscale, trendy locale, you must stop in!
