Gala Cafe & Bakery was an absolute dream to work with for our Black Women of Charleston Tea Party. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing.

We got drawn in to Gala Cafe & Bakery by the large, delicious- looking coconut cake someone raved about. It turns out this was actually their weakest link, but fortunately the other things we bought were excellent. The almond joy dessert is rich and flavorful and just delicious. The pear amaretto cake is amazing and would be just perfect with a cup of morning coffee. As mentioned, the coconut cake - skip it. Dry, extremely sweet, barely any coconut flavor. Portions are huge (good for splitting). Service is friendly. Ambiance is charming. Parking is extremely limited.
