    Food is amazing. Omg best biscuit sandwich ever. The biscuit is flaky and moist. Delicious. I work in the area but I wish they had one near me.

    Stopped by today for breakfast. As we parked we can hear live music coming from the back. So we opted to sit outside. Our hostess asked if we can wait for 5/10 mins so they can clean up in the back. The Owner of Z's came out to chat with us. I have to admit: she's the nicest lady around. Very pleasant. And invited us into the cafe to tour the place. Showed us their home made bake goodies. And the house. We left on our own to tour the rest of the house.. I currently live in Charlotte and to see a place like this be transformed from a house to a breakfast and bakery was really special. Charlotte Nc seem to be running over every spot. And just built something completely new. Don't even try to preserve the old. I ordered the croissant with eggs and cheese. 2 sausages and a cup of fruits.. The eggs was scramble but it was nicely made. Every soft. And not over cook. I really enjoyed it. The sausages are usual cook to the standards so nothing to say there. Customer service overall is great.. I would like to come back to try other goodies.

    Cute little restaurant converted from a house. We had the breakfast platter and croissant egg and cheese sandwich. Service was nice. The food took longer than expected considering it's breakfast. The parking lot is small and is gravel if that matters to you.

    Stopped in today around 10 am for breakfast, there was no wait probably due to the rain, they set me up with a high chair and the rest is history. Everyone was so nice and sweet. The food was delicious. I will add this in as one of my favorite breakfast places in Fort Mill! Make sure to check them out when you are in the area!

    Bacon and egg platter with biscuit and hash brown casserole! Perfection!

    We've been more times than possible to count at this point and every single time has been excellent. We appreciate that they refresh their menus but also keep the favorites as well. Today we had breakfast platters and also their cinnamon french toast which holy moly was DELISH. The service here is what makes this place special- it's very much a small town feel and incredibly welcoming. You really get the sense that they care if you like the food and your experience. They also have great coffee! Can't recommend this place enough, super cute, amazingly sweet staff and great home cooked food!

    Time to FES up: A great local spot! I have been trying this place since it opened. I think they have really improved on some things since the beginning. F(ood): Most recently, I had a fabulous soup, turkey Reuben and pecan pie cupcake! I've also enjoyed the Mozzarella Panini. The Mac and cheese very good. I didn't love my Belgian waffle at a breakfast but they were quick to make me another (too hard first time around). Mac and cheese very good. Need to try some salads. Overall very good food just once in awhile I'll have something I don't love. I'm giving five stars because last two meals were great!! E(nvironment): a renovated house in downtown Fort Mill. Cute welcoming space. Can eat on porch, outside or there are various rooms in house. Local art adorn different areas. Able to reserve rooms. S(Service): Always met with friendliness. Trina and Kristen have helped me organize a Sunday event and were extremely flexible and helpful. Service has always been friendly and accountable. ***I also love that this locally owned group cares about their community. They have had events on holidays to support those lonely, homeless, etc. Love in action!

    This is a cute little place tucked away in fort mill. Parking can be challenging during buy times. This place was sort of busy for Saturday around 12 noon. Hosts at front were very welcoming. We were seated inside. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Food was also delicious and tasty. The only thing, I would have liked hash browns a little more crunchy. Overall we had a positive experience. Overall 4.24/5

    Food is always hot and delicious. The grits with the hash-brown casserole mixed in are awesome. Large portions. Friendly service. The outdoor eating area is quaint and I enjoy hearing the birds while eating.

    I am not from Charlotte and decided to try this bakery. I stumbled on this location online and…read moreliked the images viewed. I had the opportunity to order my cake months in advance. Below are some helpful tips to help you determine if this is the bakery that you would like to try: There is an online payment system available, which makes it easy. The prices are higher than your typical bakery, at least three times higher. Despite the prices being higher, they do not deliver. The cake topper broke that was on my cake for my milestone birthday. This was not a good experience. The cake did not look as desired for my photos. The cake was not moist but dry. It had a great deal of flavor of the vanilla, but was not the tastiest cake that I have tried to Charlotte so far. I am not sure how long is sitting in the refrigerator prior to pick up and when it was made or how it was stored, but I have a problem with that. Out of 15 guests not one person like the cake. I found it a bit embarrassing as the host. Hours of operation for pick up are limited. Good luck!

    We ordered a custom mushroom cake. Thank you so much for the beautiful cake! Everyone agrees that…read morethe cake is outstanding and special. Very detailed! So pretty that you feel bad about cutting it. :-) I'm sure it's going to be so memorable for the birthday girl. We got the vanilla flavor cake and it is tasty. Thank you, Sweet Boutique Bakery!

    Mrs Christine DELIVERED!!!! You hear me she really delivered…read more... I called her a few days before my boyfriend's surprise birthday gathering. I knew it was last minute, so I was prepared to be told that it wasn't going to happen. Needless to say she told me she will have it ready by 12 the day of the gathering, I was so excited!! When I met her she was by far the sweetest woman I've met since moving to SC and very professional!! She even gave my boyfriend a birthday card.. Her cake on the other hand was so so so good, fluffy, airy and just right! As soon as I told everyone that I was cutting it, the cake didn't last 5 mins. I had one person to want the crumbs he said it was so good! Since I don't have a pic to share, I got the strawberry pound cake. It looks just like the pic but taste even better in person.... Reminded me of how my grandmother use to make cakes.. If you're thinking about it don't think anymore.. you will not regret it!!

    Excellent desserts. I had the opportunity to sample about four different cakes. All were good and I…read moremean really good. The owner, Christine Priester is as sweet as her pies and cakes. She is most patient and kind. I have tried a few bakeries independent and franchises and to date none compare to Priester Pies. I never make post unless things are really good or really bad. This bakery is really really good. BTW. You should see the chocolate desserts.
