    Truly a 'neighborhood' shop that is bigger than it looks. Could be easy to miss this shop tucked into a lovely residential neighborhood. The locals know as they were living Ming up when the doors opened. Some for their morning treat and other picking up for the office. Start with a salted pistachio milk latte and then dive into the pastries. They have a large variety and most have a personal twist added to them. The duce leches roll was pastry heaven but the surprise was the luscious and soft fruit kolaches.

    We just discovered Walton's on our last trip to Charleston and we cannot wait to go back! We ended up going two days in a row so we could try all the pastries and the breakfast biscuit sandwich which is incredible. Service is top notch and coffee drinks are a must!

    Bakeshop of my dreams!! This truly tiny bakeshop was super close by where I was staying in Downtown Charleston (the Moxy) and I'm so glad it was. I discovered it on Yelp when I was looking for spots to stop by before heading to the airport for my flight for a quick bite. There's the tiny bakeshop storefront and right next door is where they do all the baking. I'm noting this because I almost walked into the other spot but thankfully they had a sign on the door saying it was staff only and the bakeshop was right next door. The storefront itself had all the Southern charm, with a classic flower window box at the window and the friendliest staff greeting you as soon as you walked in. I went on a weekday around 8am and it wasn't busy at all. I was able to peruse their AMAZING selection & had the hardest time choosing. Thankfully, I had my uber waiting for me so I had to make quick decisions. I ended up getting a pastel de nata, everything bagel kolache, fig leaf sugar bun, and a dark choco chip cookie (because I always need to try the local cookie). Everything tasted fresh and delicious! I loved the variety in their pastries and was amazed that there were concepts for pastries I've never heard or tried before. Their menu selection is crazy and I would 100% come back to Charleston just for this bakery. I'll be back again! Thanks to Yelp for bringing me to my now fav bakeshop on this planet.

    I'm so glad we made the walk down to Welton's! It's just as it says, a tiny bakeshop, and a line out the door can be expected. However, don't let it deter you! They move fast and there's plenty of outdoor seating. The pastry case was filled with delectable treats. I truly couldn't choose and wanted to try everything. But I fought my gluttony that day and ordered the Hot Honey Croissant and Honey Pie. The croissant blew me away. I've never had anything quite like it! Sweet, salty, savory, slightly spicy..and any other "s" descriptor you can think of. The pie was also tasty and unique, and quite light. This is a definite must when in Charleston!

    Hands down one of the best bakeries I have ever been to! I love the rotating and seasonal changes. You can't go wrong with the hot honey croissant or blueberry kolache!

    Popular little bakery with friendly staff and delicious baked goods. Favorites include the Toasted Croissant Milk Latte, Chicken Salad Sandwich, and Blueberry Kolache. There is limited indoor seating, but a decent amount of tables and chairs outside. Parking is on the street. We enjoyed our visit and recommend it to anyone in the area!

    Croissant coffee: they soaked the croissants in milk overnight, the result is a buttery coffee. All the sandwiches are delicious

    I heard that this bakery was nominated for James Beard award and I had to check it out while I was in town. Fair warning, the line is going to be long, at least on the weekend so be prepared. I waited for about 30 minutes. There are only limited seatings inside. Most of the seatings are outdoor. I grabbed a few items but honestly everything looked so good. You must try the heirloom tomato danish! It was so delicious. I also got fig danish and it was so yummy as well. The sourdough croissant was okay, I feel like it just tasted like a plain croissant. The bear claw was delightful. I need to come back here and try more pastries. Definitely worth the visit

    Welton's Tiny Bakeshop is reportedly one of the top 5 bakeries in the country, so of course we had to check it out--and wow, it did not disappoint! The weekend line stretched out the door and around the corner, but every second was worth it. The strawberry cream danish was the star: light, refreshing, with a pastry that was fluffy, crispy, and soft all at once. The chocolate cookie packed rich flavor with dark chocolate chips--absolute perfection. The iced chai latte was just as delicious. On top of all that, the staff is so friendly and genuinely excited to serve everyone, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're a pastry lover--it's an experience worth the hype!

    Mulfaletta and Pastel de Nata. The sandwich was sold in half, i.e., the price listed on the menu refers to a half sandwich.

    A tiny bakeshop just as its name suggests. There were few seats inside; most seats and tables were spread outside. Despite its size, the spot had a good number of visitors/customers. Staff had nice attitude, but food and service were mediocre, if not poor. The biggest problem was that at noon they were running out of lots of items on the menu: I first ordered focaccia, sold out. Then breakfast sandwich, sold out. Then Mulffaletta, sold out. Then breakfast plate; the sourdough in it was sold out. I ended up sharing the Mulffaletta with another customer (who offered to share it with me, thanks a lot!!). For Pastel de Nata, I ask them to heat it but they forgot to do so. Moreover, this $3.5 pastry was really really tiny, despite that it was delicious. I also ordered the butter bean salad, but it tasted cheap. In short, I do not recommend it if you want to get some interesting or good cafe food.

    Weltons Tiny Bakeshop finished in the top five for a James Beard award for best bakery in the U.S. The name fits as it is in a truly small building however the staff are friendly and the line moves quickly. They do not rush you and help describe the various goodies on display. We were like kids in a candy shop wanting one of everything. While you wait in line, they offer free samples to get you excited about the wonderfulness within. Now I am sharing a lot of photos, but I did not try everything. We were visiting my mother-in-law in the hospital, so we shared with her and visiting family, I will talk about the ones I did try. The chocolate croissant was textbook with a shine on the pastry itself and loads of thin crispy layers and just the right amount of dark chocolate. The Weltons Honey Pie was one of their signature items that they traveled to South America to learn how to make. It reminded me of a light honey flavored cheesecake but denser. The dark chocolate chip cookie will live on in my dreams! Plenty of dark chocolate chips in a thick lightly chewy cookie and sprinkle with sea salt. Oh my! I could eat a dozen easy! Switching to savory we tried the Hot Honey croissant with Soppressata , ricotta and hot honey. Like all their croissants it was super crispy and flaky and reminded me of an Italian sandwich. A great choice if you aren't wanting sweet. But for my wife and I our favorite was the blueberry kolache. Loaded with blueberries and a brown sugar cornmeal crumb it simple melted in our mouths. I have been told their coffee is amazing and the other pictured goodies got rave reviews from my family members. If you have a Charleston food bucket list add this place immediately!

    Amazing pastries, be prepared to wait in line on any given morning because it is so popular. Service was very friendly and a lot of seating outdoors. Highly recommend.

    There is a great reason that Weltons Tiny Bakeshop has long lines outside the door. The coffee is outstanding and the baked goods are just delicious. The only problem with this establishment is the horrendous task of trying to find parking in this area of town. I think I circled for about 15 minutes, the many one way systems did not help either. However, it was well worth the challenge. The staff are great, fast & courteous. The lines go by very fast. There is a tiny section outside with a few chairs tables between the two buildings to sit & drink your coffee. Also inside a tiny high bar to sit & enjoy your coffee. But overall this is a takeaway coffee spot. No lingering with the phone or computer for hours here. Definitely check it out.

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.

The cake is moist, perfectly sweet, and layered with fluffy coconut frosting.

We were craving espresso martinis, and they quickly made a couple for us. Nice touch -- the glasses were chilled, which always makes a difference. That said, we do think the martinis may have been missing the classic foam "bubble" and espresso bean garnish. Honestly though, since they were closing and still accommodated us, we were just grateful they made them at all. If it had been mentioned that they'd be quick, simplified versions due to closing, we would've completely understood -- just something small for expectation-setting. Now let's talk about the coconut cake -- absolutely amazing. It's $17 for a slice, but the portion is HUGE. Easily shareable, and we still had to take some to-go. Super moist, flavorful, and worth every bite if you're a coconut fan. Also worth noting: the outdoor patio is pet-friendly, which is always a big plus for us. Great spot to stop with your pup while enjoying dessert or a cocktail. Overall, a positive experience -- especially thanks to the staff's hospitality at closing time. We'd definitely come back (earlier next time!) to enjoy the full experience.

Nice list of 3 mocktails so even if not consuming alcohol one can look to play the part at the table and enjoy the flavor notes of a well made cocktail. The first meal we had was a bit of a work/get together meal. We ordered an assortment of items off of the menu and created a more tapas menu. The charcuterie board we picked the cheeses for and it was lovely. All as expected and quite surprised to find a cheddar I enjoyed. Came with some grapes, figs, nuts, honey and I think mustard. Glazed carrots were phenomenal. Heartily enjoyed the beet salad and thought the presentation was quite pretty. Lamb lettuce wraps are alright. Not my favorite of all the dishes served but delivered as promised, nicely cooked and presented. Spouse really liked the lamb wraps and were a stand out dish to them. Meatballs are excellent truly great texture and flavor. Escargot was a fun take on a classic dish. Finished with a unique strudel in its presentation it was quite pleasant. Spouse liked the peanut butter chocolate dessert. For brunch, I had the carrot ginger soup. Which I must say was a total delight. The soup had the hallmark texture and base flavor of the carrot ginger but it had a beautiful breath of savory and some heat seasoning wise to it. It was quite an elevated soup and heartily enjoyed! I followed the carrot soup with a French toast. I am all for softly scrambled eggs but the French toast was a touch undercooked. (I did not let the restaurant know or give them the chance to make right. I regularly eat soft boiled eggs and soft scrambled so I felt comfortable with consuming them.) Strawberries were ripe and tasty. The whipped cream was gorgeous in thickness and flavor. One in law had the caesar salad with croutons and grilled chicken. Their bowl was left clean so while they are not the talkative of sorts they did seem to enjoy it. Ordered a baguette with butter.
