The Best Bakeries In Charleston South Carolina

Venture on down to the southern haven that is Charleston, South Carolina, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the amount of specialty shops, privately owned local hotels, and individual feel of downtown and its cross streets. If you’re looking for baked goods, Charleston has some of the best the country has to offer, and there are more than enough friendly bakeries and southern style biscuits to go around. Here are seven of the best places to get your pastries in Charleston.

1. Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit

Restaurant, American

This charming, small town biscuit shop has been featured in the New York Timestwice. Owner of Callie’s and daughter of culinary ace Callie White, Carrie Morey continues her legacy by preparing some of Charleston’s best biscuits. Both Food Networkand Martha Stewart have recognized Morey for her visionary status as a caterer and master baker. Her country ham biscuits are a favorite, and not just in Charleston. Peruse her retail selection and take some of Callie’s home for the whole family.

2. Kaminsky's

Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Dessert Shop, Pastelaria, American, Dessert, Pastries

Kaminsky’s is also located downtown; its awnings rest atop a front window that gives way to several samples of their in-house baked delights. Signature desserts at Kaminsky’s include, but are by no means limited to, toll-house pie, key lime pie, red velvet cake, cookie cake, and more. The selection changes daily and is somewhat erratic – this should provide guests with all the more reason to visit more than just once. Don’t forget about Kaminsky’s sundaes and milkshakes, located at the bottom of their menu. The brownie sundae, served with a Dutch cocoa brownie, vanilla bean ice cream, and, of course, chocolate sauce, is not to miss.
