Strawberry and goat cheese stuffed Challa French Toast with pork sausage.
Aaron N.

Nice and quaint little restaurant! Staff is friendly and even though it was a busy time of the day for them they were able to seat us after a brief wait. I went with a friend they ordered the chicken and avocado burrito and I had the goat cheese strawberry stuffed Challa French toast. Plating for both entrées was perfect and food was hot. They have regular hot coffee and a good selection of cold brew coffees, however I wasn't able to find any lattes. There was a 100% maple syrup option but only by request. I'm sure we will be back again!!

Cute little restaurant with plenty of parking indoor and outdoor sitting areas. The restaurant walls are covered in drawn done by kids while visiting the restaurant. The serve is friendly and fast. Sitting is limited to probably 30 people inside. There hours are limited from 7:30 am- 2 pm on weekdays and 8am- 2pm on weekends. The food served has generous portions. Very tasty. The menu even though it is not large is does have some wonderful choices of breakfast and brunch options. I would recommend you stop by the Three Little Birds for a wonderful brunch experience.

Peanut butter and bananas waffles
Aly W.

What an awesome spot tucked away. We went on a cold Sunday morning and had a short wait. We waited in the car and got the call to head in. The waffles were delicious. Three of the four of us had them! The service was great. The staff was friendly and made recommendations. We loved the different coloring pages that other patrons did on the tables and then were hung around the restaurant. Casual vibe and perfect for a small group of friends.

Three Little Birds is a comfortable charming restaurant and the food was really good. They greeted us when we came in, made us feel welcome, and service was quick. They had several healthy choices which we were happy to see. If you happen to be in the area, I definitely recommend this place for breakfast

Sweet Potato Benedict & Choc Chip Pancake Ala Carte
Suzann B.

2-25-26 Wednesday 11:30 am Cup French Onion Soup-no cheese or croutons Sweet Potato Benedict 1-Blueberry & Choc Chip Pancake Ala Carte Wow!!! What a great place to get a Benedict in the middle of the week!!! The restaurant is so CUTE!!! You know you're in for a treat, when you have to wait a few minutes to wait for a table-always a good sign in Charleston. Spoiler Alert-no alcoholic beverages. I yanked my back out and was looking forward to having a Bloody to go with my ibuprofen. Denied. I had the most delightful server, Caroline, who set me up for success with my order. I had selections in mind and she recommended them when I asked her what was good. The French Onion soup had an interesting seasoning profile that I could not place-but it was very good-no cheese or croutons, so maybe it should be onion soup instead. I loved the spin on the Benedict with a sweet potato roll, the eggs were perfectly over medium and the home fries were on time!!! I added one pancake to eat for dessert...totally get this if you love chocolate chips and blueberries, as both were generously added. Add the syrup as it would be like buying the ticket and not getting on the ride. I felt the charges were in line with other diners in the area. Whew! I need a nap now!!!

Exterior.
Marjorie P.

What a charming breakfast place! Located not in Charleston proper -just outside over the bridge in a corner of a shopping center. The exterior is covered in moss - magical. There are some tables outside, but it was too cold the day we were there. Inside is small, with crafts/art you can purchase. Maybe a bit more sprucing up could be done. Because of some construction work outside, it was unfortunately a bit noisy though. The food was so delicious. I had the cheese & herb omelette with a side of fruit. I didn't realize toast was extra though. The omelette came with 1 side & I chose the fruit. Service was good - coffee was good too. A nice find outside of the city.

Great place for a nice breakfast!

This little gem is worth finding and eating at! A lovely little family run breakfast brunch restaurant! The food was spectacular as you can see by the fantastic pictures, but the service was even better! Breakfast with my Mom Sister and my husband allowed us to have four different beautiful options. Both my sister and I had the Tom's breakfast and we were able to customize it. I loved the sweet potato biscuit instead of white toast. My sister want traditional with the white toast. Each of us could have our eggs the way we wanted, and I also had a side of the hollandaise which was fantastic homemade and delicious. My husband had the breakfast burrito which was plentiful and delicious and my mom's had the huevos rancheros and she couldn't even finish. I definitely recommend this wonderful breakfast brunch restaurant and I've added it to my favorites in my Charleston folder. Well done three little birds.!

French toast with fresh Strawberries and a side of bacon
Rachel T.

Slight wait. Great service, great food, love the original art all over the inside! Outdoor patio is also nice.

Monte Cristo
Emma P.

Absolutely loved everything about this place. The location feels like it's a bit off the beaten path and it's one of the things I love! It's got a lovely patio and is best for smaller groups. They have a great selection of vegetarian options so your veg friends will thank you for choosing this place. I had the Monte Cristo and home fries, let me tell you... it was EVERYTHING! I was super impressed by their specials menu and can't wait to get back and try more. I'm also pretty snobby about my iced coffee and theirs is an absolute gold star. Our waitress was wonderful, gave us the time we needed to look over every single thing on the menu and everything came out hot and fresh!

Orange juice
Madalyn V.

Visited Three Little Birds for breakfast while visiting Charleston recently and overall it was a good experience. The outside of the building is covered in beautiful greenery making it very inviting. One thing I couldn't recommend for this business enough is having a sign that says "seat yourself" or "please see host at the bar" or something that guides guests when they arrive. It puts guests in such an awkward position if they've never visited before because they don't know whether or not to seat themselves etc. I ordered the fresh pressed orange juice and the goat cheese stuffed French toast. I was very excited for the fresh pressed juice but was not impressed. It tasted very bitter and unfortunately wasn't the best. I did not end up drinking it. The stuffed French toast was excellent. It seems like it would be sweet but it is not as sweet as you may think. I personally wish it was a little bit sweeter but it was still good. The outdoor patio could use some cleaning up. It seemed a little messy out there and not as tidy but it was fine. There are umbrellas outside and nice shaded areas to enjoy your meal outside. We did have a small wait as it seems this place is very popular. They text you when your table is ready which is super convenient. Overall a good spot for breakfast but I think I would try other spots in Charleston next time I visit!

Breakfast burrito
J S.

This is a very small but accommodating restaurant. This was my first trip, and the breakfast was amazing, i will definitely return when I come back to Charleston.

Special omelet of the day with a side of fruit
Paige D.

First time trying TLB after putting it off for years. The long lines did not lie! It's a small eclectic place with indoor and outdoor seating out back. Our server was very nice and punctual. The lavender latte was everything I wanted it to be. I rarely find these and was really excited they made them. I should have asked for more honey but as it was, it was delicious. The omelets were really good. I had the avocado omelet with a side of grits. The grits were a bit bland but with a little extra salt they tasted good. I'm happy with the experience, my girl friend enjoyed her new too and we will def be heading back in the near future.

Front of the menu, more on the back. Also, posted specials on a blackboard!

I had not been to this somewhat hidden away Restaurant behind the South Windermere Shopping Center and close to a radio station so it is not terribly easy to find. Still it was fairly crowded inside and under the covering of the outdoor tables although it was a brisk and slightly hot day. I ordered the Carolina Scramble with eggs (of course) shrimp, andouille (sp?) saugage, peppers and onions with my selection of hash browns. Absolutely delicious, every last mouthful. Suffice it to say that I would go out of my way to come back to the Three Little Birds Cafe and eat this very same meal. Yes, the "Scramble" was great as we're the perfectly cooked and seasoned hash browns. I apologize that I did not get the excellent waitress's name but there were a number of them moving about quite quickly clearing tables, serving patrons and delivering the delicious food. Not one complaint in the slightest, so I recommend this place highly. See you there!

5/5 Stars - Absolutely Incredible!…read more This spot is a total gem. We ordered a vanilla cinnamon iced latte, a cappuccino, a smoothie, a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a strawberry pop-tart, and every single item was outstanding- gluten free options too!!! The breakfast sandwich was perfect--flavorful, fresh, and served on a perfectly toasted everything bagel. The strawberry pop-tart was unreal, an elevated treat, and the drinks hit the spot. The iced latte had just the right balance of vanilla and cinnamon without being overly sweet, the cappuccino was expertly crafted, and the smoothie was incredibly refreshing. Beyond the food, the vibe here is immaculate. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the background music is great, and the workers are exceptionally friendly. It's the perfect place to kickstart your morning. We will definitely be back!

It is much more casual than I thought, with some of the menu (like bowls and salads) already made and ready to grab from the fridge. So happy we ended up staying because everything was fantastic. We ordered at the counter, grabbed drinks from the fridge and found a table on the side, covered patio. Food was brought out super quickly and it was absolutely delicious. I got the St. Philip pita, which was incredible and almost tasted like a halal cart chicken sandwich in the best way. It was so filling and so good. It came with a really tasty side salad. My fiance got the BLT which was just as great. I can see this being a really ideal space to bring my laptop and get some work done if I lived in the area. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a great, casual space for breakfast, lunch or coffees.

Lots of plants and gives a cozy small coffee shop vibe. Food: Got the avocado toast, whipped ricotta toast and iced vanilla latte. The iced vanilla latte was really good, smooth flavorful. The avocado toast was fresh and the lime wedge definitely brought a lot of flavor. The whipped ricotta was very tasty and was not too sweet but had some jam and pistachios on top. Parking: didn't see parking but it is a close walking distance from kings street which is the main area to shop and walk around. Also, a lot of cars park on sides of street

I came here on a local recommendation and Babas did not disappoint!…read more What a beautiful location with a kind, helpful team. The ambiance was lovely and there was just enough room to snag a table and work for a bit while also taking moments to people watch. I asked the server for a coffee recommendation and was told that the honey whipped espresso or the peanut drink were very popular. I ordered the honey whipped espresso and a cappuccino and both were delicious. The espresso was severed over ice with whipped milk foam, and just enough honey to add flavor but not over power the coffee. And the cappuccino was a lovely standard as well. After sitting a bit, I ordered a ham and butter baguette. The bread was perfect- crunchy outside and soft inside and the ham and butter were tasty- a nice through back to something I would've eaten as a child, but elevated. Overall, great experience. Keep it up Babas!

We came for breakfast and started with the banana bread with Nutella cream cheese -- absolutely incredible. We also split the cornmeal pancakes, which were so good we came back the next morning just to have them again. I ordered the B.E.C. with the home fries, and I can honestly say they may have been the best potatoes I've ever had in any form. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and they practically melted in my mouth. My husband had the turkey club and said it was fantastic as well. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and memorable. We loved it so much we went back the very next day. 10/10 -- highly recommend if you're visiting Charleston!

He also had a meal removed from the bill - it was brought out Luke warm unfortunately. Overall food was good everyone was happy with their choices. Burger didn't come with fries but was big enough to fill up an 18 year old boy. Salad had a great sauce, was a little thrown off with the cold waffle but it's supposed to come like that server said. The avocado toast was so good but eggs were cold unfortunately. It didn't ruin the taste so still recommend. Visited on vacation but I would go back and try other plates.

Service: our waitress was incredibly friendly and super nice. Atmosphere: they have an open layout and very vibe/ dance music. They do have a Photo Booth which is pretty unique. It looked like they did brunch/ breakfast and then evening had a pizza parlor. There was a bar off to the side when you first walk in Food: peach French toast and egg and cheese biscuit.

Our waiter was super busy & at times hard to flag down. He did a nice job of refills for the kids, but when the food came out, we literally had zero napkins and zero utensils. That is basic stuff- I shouldn't have to flag down people for when getting seated. I ended up finding another waiter who was helping to bring out our food and asking him for napkins and cutlery. The beignets here are not what you expect- think super mini ones versus the classic ones you get from Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans or other joints. We would have placed two orders of them except I knew the brunch plates would be big, and we wanted our kiddos to eat their meal before filling up on sweets. I got the Meeting plate- double portion of crab cakes on top of fried green tomatoes with grits and a huge buttermilk biscuit, where I didn't finish the biscuit and had one of our kids eat half of it. I was craving some fried green tomatoes but also wanted seafood so that worked out! My partner got the fried green tomatoes BLT and loved it. One of our kids got the chicken and waffles, another ate all of the fried chicken tenderloins, and our third really wanted buttermilk pancakes that were a hefty plate. No shortage of being hungry at this place! The food was good, but I would not say it was anything too different than any other brunch place-but for, the fried green tomatoes & other southern offerings like grits that you wouldn't get in other parts of the country. There are only two wash rooms, so there can be a wait especially when you have a long line of ladies waiting FYI. Prices are not too bad and standard for brunch so still an alternative when you are looking for fuel to fill up before doing your shopping on King's Street.

My husband found this spot last minute since it was just a short walk from our hotel. We arrived pretty close to the kitchen closing, and while they mentioned we could still order at the bar, our server, Miseal, graciously offered to seat us at a table and take care of us anyway. That level of hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. We kept it simple and shared the Octopus Salad and the Taleggio Pizza, and wow...every single bite was packed with flavor. The pizza, cooked in the wood-fired brick oven, had the perfect crispy yet chewy crust with rich, melty cheese. The octopus was tender, fresh, and beautifully balanced. It was honestly the best meal we had all weekend. I paired everything with a refreshing brut rose while my husband enjoyed a beer, and it couldn't have been a better way to end our Charleston trip. The atmosphere is stylish and lounge-like with a romantic feel...perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening after exploring the city. A huge thank you to Miseal for making us feel so welcome, even at the end of the night. Great food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience.

Everything went extremely well from the check-in experience, to the food, and the service. Our reservation was for 6:30pm but we got there a full hour early. They gave us a table immediately, no problem. Our server was Maisie and she was wonderful. Patient. Attentive. Super friendly. We ordered drinks and the Pimento Cheese Fritters. They were incredible! We also tried the She Crab Bisque and it was over the top! Delicious and full of lump crab meat. When Maisie brought us our first plates, she asked us if we were considering the pork chop, which is exactly what we were interested in. She said there were only two left and held one for us. This is the kind of excellent service she provided throughout the meal. The pork chop was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a wonderful wood smoked flavor. The whipped potatoes and roasted heirloom baby carrots were the perfect accompaniment. Nothing has changed inside or out since my last visit. The vibe is Charleston laid back and comfortable.

It was Labor Day and things seemed on the quiet side in town. The ambience was great and we were on the second floor. We got right to the libations (he had a Malbec and I, the cider they had available). And then the entrees - hubby got the shrimp and grits, that's usually my dish but I was glad he got it so I could taste. I got the fried chicken, with hoppin John over white rice, and collards. So good! And I wasn't even hungry but I had to test the "award winning" and "famous" labels on our dishes. The chicken is a huge serving - 4 pieces of juicy, tasty chicken - an entire quarter. The hoppin John was good - I just wish there were more hoppin John and less rice. Service was 5 star. Donte was a real treat and looked after us well. For dessert, I was hoping for bread pudding, but it wasn't on the menu, and everyone in the dining room was ordering the banana pudding so we got that to share. It is a large serving, enough for two. The presentation was cute, the taste was regular, and I didn't taste a hint of alcohol (it was a bourbon or some other alcohol).
