Harken Cafe

“Delicious coffee, great food and sweet treats, well priced!”

Everything here was darling and original. The line was out the door when we arrived but went quickly (we probably waited for ten min to order). There’s limited seating so I’d suggest anticipating this at peak times. We ordered two spiced vanilla lattes and they were PERFECT IMO (good espresso flavor and lightly sweetened). I loved that the pastries were all so unique. We got a Spinach Artichoke pastry and Sweet Potato Loaf that came with a raspberry compote and crème. It was more dense than we were expecting but SO delicious. I love the ambiance and vine wall on the patio. 10/10 recommend.

Was told this was a staple cafe in Charleston. Went around 9am and I was pretty busy. The line moved fast though. I ordered an oat latte with the spiced vanilla, it was good, if you like sweet coffee i recommend adding sweetener. We also had the vegan chocolate chip earl grey muffin and the “green thing”. The flavor was great on both. However we waited about 15 minutes for the avocado toast. I recommend as a vegan! It’s cute inside and everyone was friendly.

So I got more curios what’s so special about this place. And I was reading the menu, nothing caught my eyes or so special to Charleston. When I got inside, I observed mixtures of locals as well as tourists and visitors. When in line, I asked a local, he said lines are usually less in weekdays but it’s a touristy attraction spot

We stopped in for breakfast one morning and we were very disappointed by our experience. Our coffee drinks came decently quick, but we waited quite a while for our food to arrive- at least 30 minutes. When it did arrive, my extremely dry biscuit was missing the bacon I'd added and when I asked the server she said she will check on it. When my friend asked for a knife and fork, she actually huffed. I waited around 7 minutes for the bacon to arrive, and when it did, it was floating in fat on plate. I used a napkin to get some fat off it and opened my biscuit to see what looked to be incredibly o
