We had an amazing experience at Porchetta shop and it ended up being our favorite spot we ate at…read morewhile visiting! The shop itself is small and charming, right in the middle of town, with tons of sandwich options on the menu. The staff was incredibly welcoming and warm, and the service was super quick when we visited on a weekday (though we've heard weekends can get busy). We ordered the Chicken Milanese sandwich, which came on focaccia with bacon and an incredible sweet chili sauce that brought everything together perfectly. It was easily one of the best sandwiches we've had. We also tried the Bollito sandwich, a rich beef sandwich that came with a dipping broth on the side--absolutely unreal and packed with flavor. Overall, the experience was fantastic and the food was outstanding. If you're in Charleston, this place is a must-visit!

My go-to order is either the Boss Bagel, which has delicious hot honey, or the Somewhat Healthy bagel, which I swap for an everything bagel. Both are so good. The staff are consistently kind, even when they're clearly slammed. I also love that there are usually plenty of other people working on their laptops, which helps create a motivating, productive atmosphere. That said, it is a bit pricey. The Somewhat Healthy bagel doesn't even come with protein, and adding bacon is an extra $3, bringing it to nearly $15 before even adding a drink. Still a great spot overall, just something to keep in mind.

The chips were a bit more salty than I'd like, but the dip neutralized that well. The chicken parm and eggplant parm sandwiches were really good. Good portions, yet it didn't feel heavy (my thighs are thankful lol). We pretty much got full after eating half and was able to take the rest home to enjoy it over another meal. The Pinot freezio and frozen sangria were served in cute little glasses. Very tasty and I loved that there was pulp in my Pinot freezio. Great first visit!

There were 4 open spots at the bar, so when we *finally* found the host, we asked if they were first come, first served. He told us there were two people coming and that he'd let us know. After waiting probably 10 min, he finally agreed to seat us at the bar (the 2 other people never showed up). So, there we sat...and sat. Bartender finally comes by and plops a bottle of water in front of us. Doesn't say hi / bye / or eff you (although she definitely gave off the latter vibe with her body language). After sitting there another 10 min and not being acknowledged whatsoever, I got fed up. Stood up, told my girlfriend I had had enough...and I flat out refused to give my money to an establishment that treats their customers in this manner. Honestly, I grew up in the Lowcountry and I can tell you that *most* restaurants/bars/shops/etc. in Charleston feature employees who are generally gracious/friendly/hospitable/helpful. Then, on occasion, you run into places like this. How they stay in business has to be a function of location alone, because their service is absolutely horrible! Will advise anyone who will listen to avoid this place at all costs!

Overall just a solid, reliable spot I'll keep coming back to.

My favorite spot by far on our Charleston itinerary; my only regret is that our trip was so short…read morethat we did not have time for a second visit. Their banana bread had been recommended to me as a must-try but after a quick glance at the menu, I wanted to try at least five other things. First things first: the banana bread. 10/10. If you leave here without getting a slice warmed up with butter, you're doing yourself a serious disservice. It didn't even taste like banana bread but had the texture of a soft eggy French toast. I was so entranced with it that I managed to squirrel away half for the next day. Also got their jammy eggs because I'm an egg fiend. They were delicious, topped with chives and some chili crisp, but $7 for two eggs in this economy was a little hard to swallow. Next time I'm here, I'd want to try the quiche and the pickled shrimp toast. And they also have peanut milk?? Tucked away on a side street off the much busier King, Babas can be easy to miss but wow - talk about treasures coming in tiny sizes. There's some indoor seating and outdoor tables but don't bank on getting a table right away if you're coming on a weekend morning. The line moves quickly so we didn't mind waiting.
