I was here at 6:45 and that gave me time to hook up a power cord to one of the light poles along the street and charge my on board battery. When they opened, I was the first customer in, so I set up my laptop and got comfortable as they dealt with the regulars for a bit getting their coffee. I don't usually check menus, but I was surprised to see a "Keto Au Lait" this morning and that's what I ordered. Heavy cream and coffee? That's perfect for my eating regime. I was here for four more hours, pounding away at my laptop and enjoying the ebb and flow of this fabulous #LocalCoffee joint. It's a real gem and I wish them much success.

This gelato shop occupies a small space that is across the river from the WV Capitol area and a…read moreshort distance up a steep incline. I walked up to find a couple of people working there who I take to be ownership. Notably, the reason I hadn't visited before is that I often travel on Sunday and they're closed on Sunday. You can run a business however you want I guess, but Sunday does seem like a time where a lot of people would want to be able to purchase some ice cream. In substance, the gelato selection was very good. They had a few non-dairy options. I picked several flavors that were wildly different, but was recommended to try something more consonant, which I suspect reflects a difference in thought processes between the more masculine high-decoupling mind and a contrasting holistic approach. Having said that, I went with the recommendation for what tasted like a very ripe banana flavor, as well as a tiramisu cream that definitely tasted like high quality tiramisu, and a pure hazelnut flavor. It was a high quality smooth dessert, and in relative terms, the price was less than what you'd pay at a high-end place in a big city. And while I can't say I've been to Italy, this gelato was as good as you'd get in any of the American places I've been to, so it's a great stop here in Charleston.

The thing to get here are the "hot dogs" which are eclairs that are cut down the middle like a hot dog bun and filled with the most delicious buttercream you will ever taste in your life. The pastry bread is very soft and sweet as well with just the right amount of puffiness. I have sent dozens of people here who are passing through over the years and they all stop every time now. These things are so good that if I have friends passing through and coming to NC, I have them stop and get me a couple dozen. I really couldn't speak to any of the other pastries because I can't get past the hot dogs...I only get them 1-2 times a year at most so I'm not willing to try anything else. It's a very small store but they turn people out really fast. It's to-go only, no dining inside. Last time I was passing through on my motorcycle I got six of them and went outside and sat down on a set of stairs and ate three of them and packed the other three in my cooler.

Everything we tried was soft, fresh, and flavorful without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated. You can tell this is the kind of place that's been doing things the same (and doing them well) for a long time. The prices were also surprisingly great, and had they been listed, I would have purchased a lot more. It's a small, old-school bakery that's clearly been a local favorite for generations, and that charm is part of what makes it special. That said, as first-time visitors, it was a little tough to navigate. Nothing is labeled, no menu, no prices, so we had to ask a few questions and rely on recommendations. Maybe it was just a busy Saturday morning, but the young woman helping us didn't seem thrilled that I was taking photos and asking about the pastries. I get that most of their customers are probably regulars who already know what they want, but for those of us just passing through, a little guidance (and patience) would go a long way. Even with that experience, I'd still recommend stopping by. The pastries really are that good, the prices are fair, and it's the kind of nostalgic, old fashioned bakery that's getting harder to find these days.

I was instantly greeted by two young ladies behind the counter, and without any delay, I was smacked in the face with kindness, which was needed after being sleepy from enjoying a deep fried dead fish just minutes before. I got a small cup of the West Virginia pothole, and I must say, that had a real good thump of flavor to it. It hit me harder than any pothole on MacCorkle Avenue had ever done. I thought about purchasing one of their tie-dye tees, but I already outgrew all the sizes they had available after all the fat I consumed earlier.
