    I really wanted to love this spot and am willing to try again. With that said, I was disappointed that they were already out of the strawberry cold foam by the time I arrived (10:30am), they open at 8am. It's still a newer spot so I'm sure they're still figuring out demand! The few tables they had were so cute and made it feel more welcoming. I ordered 1 daydream with matcha and 1 with espresso ($9.99 each with milk alternative). Both lacked the maple flavor and blue color that was advertised but the matcha and espresso had a nice taste.

    3.5 stars This is a small food truck shop. The staff were friendly. The place was very busy on Friday morning. I guess they are popular on TikTok. There are a lot of 20 something women here! The prices were average. I had their special maple latte. It was decent but not great. I didn't taste the maple at all. My family both said their drinks were good.

Iced coffee was refreshing I came back the next morning for another round. It was flavorful yet not sugary. It definitely gave me a kick and got addicted to it, except I'm only in the area for 4 days. Staff and manager were friendly yet professional. Although I was charged twice, the manager assured me they would fix it once the line was manageable. Somehow I trusted her word for it, just the manner with which she handled it was text book! Indeed, saw the overcharged taken care of by the next day. A must stop in downtown historic Charleston for sure! Great awesome pastries, sandwiches Parisian style made and clean refreshing breakfast beverages. This is the best patisserie option which actually lives up to its name, unlike those wannabe k ones!!!

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. Parking: it's on king street in Charleston so some side street parking but parking may be much difficult on weekends. It is a walkable area

After spending a week in Charleston and trying several highly recommended restaurants, I honestly think this first seafood meal was the best!! We each had a fish dinner and shared a dessert, which all was very delicious! Being from Texas, we laughed at the size of the Diet Coke offered as a dinner drink!! Overall, an excellent dinner!!

When I first entered I told her I had made the mistake of choosing "outdoor patio" for our reservation (90% humidity) which she told me "not problem, we went ahead and got you an indoor table", AMAZING. My husband got the Coastal Cola (like drinking a Coca Cola while eating boiled peanuts...really, and it's amazing). For dinner we split the following Tier 1 Tower - The oysters were fresh, the smoked amberjack pate was clean and filling, and the peel and eat shrimp were flavorful. For my husband's second beverage he ordered a "Loaded Hamms" (not on the menu but they'll know) with their homemade hot sauce. Smoked Bird Island Oysters - OMG it was so simple yet so flavorful and fresh. They make their own hot sauce which is very flavorful with a touch of spice. We loved it. Charcoal Grilled Royal Reds - The eggplant puree with like a Baba ghanoush but with a little more flavor and pizazz. The shrimps were so tender and again flavorful. For desert we split the corn ice cream with blackberry jam and graham cracker crumbles. It was amazing. We highly recommend "The Ordinary"; the food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional.

The line moved quickly, nonetheless. The team was friendly and let me take my time ordering. The cake slices are just as delicious as they are giant. I had the red velvet and my grandparents got carrot cake. Everyone was happy. The cake was fresh, moist and flavorful. The red velvet didn't have much chocolate, but it was still great.

Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.
