Here is the summary of my experience recently: 1. Ambiance 5/5 - This is a family owned small cafe. I did not expect much but this is a cute little spot with great decor up with the fall season. 2. Service - 6/5 : Everyone was very nice, cool and accommodating. Soledad was amazing and delightful. 3. Food 5/5: - Here is the summary of what we had: a) Caramel coconut - Great coffee with good flavor and right amount of sugar. b) Iced vanilla latte - Another winner in my opinion c) omelette with fries - Great on taste. Even the ides were delicious d) Chocolate chip pan cakes - They were fluffy, moist and delicious 4 Value for Money 5/5: The food was light on the pocket and great in taste and had a great conversation with soledad as well. In summary, more the value for money A must visit going out from Charleston to Atl. If you do not visit this place, you are missing a lot :)

I stopped here for breakfast while killing time between a massage and a dental appointment. I was…read moregreeted when I walked in, and my waitress was very nice. The cafe itself is cute, and I really wanted to love the food. I ordered the blueberry waffle with sausage links. Unfortunately, the waffle was pretty bland--even with syrup--and the blueberries were concentrated only in the center instead of throughout the waffle. It definitely looked better than it tasted. The sausage links, however, were really good. They had a nice crispy skin without being overcooked and were easily the best part of my meal. The restroom also left a lot to be desired. Both the toilet paper AND paper towels were sitting loose on the sink. There was a paper towel dispenser mounted directly over the toilet--which is disgusting in itself--despite there being plenty of other wall space where it could've been installed. The faucet was also extremely loose and felt like it was barely attached. The restroom just didn't feel clean or well maintained. Overall, the service was friendly and the cafe is cute, but between the disappointing waffle and the condition of the restroom, 3 stars feels fair.

Let me just get this out of the way: As a native…read moreSoutherner, Sunrise Bistro did a fine job of getting everything right most restaurants do not. The DIY coffee bar? Genius idea with the aroma of fresh brewed coffee immediately upon entering. The staff weren't just friendly, they were almost TOO friendly first thing in the morning. The "feel" of the restaurant was very clean, despite clearly being a locals favorite and packed. But the food? Cooked to order, yes, but without delay and absolutely marvelous. Y'all, they have REAL gravy and not the "just add water" nasty mess too many other places serve. My country fried steak was true to its name and the eggs were great. But the grits? Those are the best I've had in any restaurant in years. Breakfast for two set us back right at $30 and when back in the area, I will return. Here's the kicker: The dark roast coffee I found to be only slightly above average diner coffee. It was hot, readily available and served its purpose but the real gem of this spot is the food.

Biscuit…read moreBros is always consistent and they have a GREAT homemade biscuit that is very similar to what my grandmother would make growing up in North Carolina. It's so rare to find a place that isn't pulling everything out of the freezer and you can tell a big difference in the quality at Biscuit Bros compared to other breakfast joints. This was my first time trying the smothered burrito and it was soooo delicious (and massive)! The service is great, fast and friendly and the restaurant even has a drive through which is super convenient. Super clean. I love that they have outdoor seating options which allows me to take my pup with us from time to time. Decent breakfast is a space that the Summerville area is really lacking in and Biscuit Bros is one of 2 breakfast options around that I would actually feel really good about recommending to people!

We stumbled upon this place after attending a local church. We didn't realize how big it was since…read moreit was attached to a Mexican bakery in supermarket. The first time we sat outside in their newly renovated outdoor patio, which was so nice and beautiful. Our server greeted us with some sweetened espresso and cinnamon, which was a nice treat. The empanadas here are insane and you must get this. This was probably the best empanada I've had at a restaurant. The second time we returned, we dined inside. The service was a bit slower this time and it took longer for us to get our food. We ordered some of their specialty coffees, which came in these cute mugs and glasses. This time we tried their Arepas de plantano that came with cheese and a mole sauce. This was also very good, especially with the sauce. We ordered the giant huevos rancheros platter to share and it truly did take up almost the entire table lol. They put all the toppings in separate dishes so you could build your own essentially. This was a lot of food and we had plenty leftover. This could've fed 4-5 people! The only disappointing thing about this was that we didn't get any steak as shown on the menu and just chicken. When we mentioned it the server who was very nice but didn't speak much English said she told us but I was completely unaware. Everything still tasted good but we did wish there was some steak along with the chicken. The French toast dish was decadent and sweet, but the bread itself was moist and crispy on the edges. There was a small discrepancy at the end with our bill because the price of the platter didn't match what was on the receipt. They were unable to adjust it but gave us a gift card for the balance. Overall we still had a good time and would definitely come back. It was much more of a unique brunch experience that I've had in Charleston so far.

We visited on a Sunday around 11:40 a.m. as a party of three, and unfortunately our first…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing. The restaurant was packed, and we waited about 20 minutes just to be seated. Once we sat down, we ordered right away, expecting the kitchen to already be busy. However, we ended up waiting an entire hour for our food. About halfway through, we asked our server how much longer it would be, and the response was simply that there was "no telling" because they were very busy. While we understand restaurants can get busy, waiting an hour after ordering with no meaningful update is unacceptable. By the time our food finally arrived, we no longer had time to enjoy it. We had somewhere else to be and had to rush through our meal. Because of the long wait and frustration, I honestly can't say whether the food was amazing or not, it was overshadowed by the experience. The service itself was okay, and the atmosphere was okay, but neither made up for the excessive wait. We also overheard the table next to us, a party of two, talking about how they had already been waiting 40 minutes for their food, so it was clear we weren't the only customers frustrated by the delays. For a first visit, this was a very poor impression. We understand that busy restaurants can have longer wait times, but better communication and more realistic expectations would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, this experience was enough that it will most likely be our first and last visit.

Cannot tell you how much this banana bread changed my life, I will be thinking of it eternally. Secondly, chicken biscuit. How good can it be, right? Wrong, it is better than you could ever imagine. This location was very busy on a Saturday mid-morning, but seats at the bar opened up in a way that can only be described as kismet. The bar service was incredible, especially for such a busy day. It is very lively and rowdy in this place but it is a fun that you will treasure forever. Also, they have amazing coffees that are so fun and inventive. I got a cinnamon roll latte and it was really like a cinnamon roll in liquid form. Also, there is a Photo Booth here so you can have your experience printed for you to always remember.

The menu ranges from sweet to savory crepes as well as desserts, and other notable menu items including fresh OJ and macha (which I ordered). We both had savory crepes: my partner ordered the All Day Southern with egg, bacon, potato and cheddar. He declared it "good," a rare compliment. I had the Coastal with a generous portion of smoked salmon (room temp, so more flavorful than chilled) and a beautifully arranged florette of thinly sliced avocado. It also had some greens and halved cherry tomatoes that were delicious. What I noticed was the intense focus of the food preparers on their tasks. There was no banter, no distraction, rather an almost meditative attention to the work in front of them. That showed up in the quality of the food and drinks. You can bet we'll be going back frequently. Their long hours without afternoon closings will be very convenient and appreciated.

Reasonably priced crêpes that are absolutely delicious. The crêpe itself melts in your mouth, so delicate and buttery with a mild egg taste. Strawberries on top were fresh and the amount of Nutella was perfect. I ordered to go, but they had a few people sitting inside. My only complaint was light smoke from the crêpe griddle filled the room. A little more ventilation could remedy that. Definitely will be back!
