The shop is beautiful and the service was prompt and polite. $3 seems like a lot to pay for a cupcake, but it was exceptionally good.

Everything in here looked delicious! We did not have room for cupcakes (sadly) however we split a cookie that was very good. They also sell their own popsicles! And dog treats. The place is very small but very cute and smells amazing.

I read the reviews before our trip, but we actually just stumbled upon the shop while wandering the city. The shop is simply beautiful. The adjacent courtyard is quiet and allowed our tiny kids a place to safely stretch their legs. We couldn't resist the delicate lemon sugar smell that wandered out the door.

We were in Charleston for a weekend and visited twice. Precious setting with cute courtyard. The cupcakes are excellent and the hit for us were the lime sugar cookies. Great spot for a special treat.

We stopped in based on the recommendation of a waitress from a nearby restaurant. This is a tiny, charming bakery that concentrates on cupcakes, some with unique flavors (Pistachio? Yum!). They have some specialties, including the Lady Baltimore, involving sherry-soaked figs and raisins, which is offered only on Thursdays and which we unfortunately missed. We snagged several of the smaller-sized... More

This little bakeshop is off the beaten path & we found it while on a food tour. It is very small with no seating so you take your goodies to go. We sampled a mint chocolate cupcake that was so very delicious, as well as some kind of pecan bar. The cupcake was moist and the frosting delicious. If you... More

They had a few unique flavors, but the cupcakes were tiny and had little flavor. (And barely any icing.) There is no where to sit down in the restaurant, you have to sit outside and it was freezing. Great potential, but in my opinion, they failed.

The baked goods were good, but nothing to write home about. They have gourmet dog treats for under $1 each which is fairly reasonable. The location is a little off the main drag, so I wouldn't go out of your way to visit.
