For having such godd reviews I was pretty shocked how bad it was. $10 for a breakfast sandwich is fine but when its a store bought Croissant frozen microwave eggs patty you get at a free hotel buffet and precooked fast food bacon.... Its not ok. Pretty sure all the food is bought pre maid. Nothing looked tasted or smelled fresh. Also leaking ceiling, not very clean bathrooms and not that great of service....all which can be overlooked with great food this wasnt. It was $70 of bad food.

A lovely cafe to enjoy a fresh plate of salad or quiche or sandwich. Loved our food which ranged from egg souffle sandwich, avocado toast, salad to a sweet crepe.

We came in close to closing time. Still service was good and quick. Nice selection of pastries. I had the chicken pesto panini and it was delicious.

Great morning stop with the dogs. The almond croissant was large. The strawberry banana crepe with Nutella was very good. The crepe is thin but a light meal was nice. Nice dog friendly spot.

Busy little place when we got there. The young red headed girl behind the counter was running the place essentially by herself and did an amazing job coordinating orders and tasks to maximize efficiency. She was cool as a cucumber. Very impressive and should be employee of the month or year in my opinion. On top of that the coffee and bakery offering were absolutely delicious. Will definitely revisit next time we are in town.

Great place for breakfast, a light fare, treat, or just coffee. My spinach quiche was good and the environment and staff were great!

Good and very friendly service. Decent food with vegetarian options and home cooked feel to food but, not worth the amount. It was very busy around noon. Good portions.1 start less due to cost vs taste.

This cafe has yummy baked goods, but the coffee left a lot to be desired. My latte was over sweet, and my partners hot coffee lacked flavor.It was full with limited indoor and outdoor seating. The layout was not optimized to the flow of customers that persisted while i was there. Skip this cafe and go somewhere better in town.

Great little place with a inside and outside courtyard seating. Nice menu, yummy sweets.

After visiting the Sistine chapel exhibit downtown some friends and I stopped at this cafe to eat. It was very good I had the bechamel sandwich with an egg on top. It was very extravagant and was delicious. A friend of mine bought a pastry and it looked delectable. You order at the counter and then they call your name for you to come and pick it up. It was a quaint little place. Not a lot of room inside. But a perfect place to grab a bite to eat. My only complaint would be that we had to use plastic utensils and the utensils were not up for the job they were totally bent out of shape by the time I cut through the sandwich. Actual silverware would have been much better.

This is the best pastry and sandwich shop in town.🥰 I was born and raised here in Charleston sc‼️ Let me tell you guys something I come here everyday except Monday’s because they’re closed 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣I don’t miss a beat when it comes to this Family oriented Cozy Café. There’s nothing on the menu that I wouldn’t order💯😘🥰I’m infatuated with this place you guys

Great spinach & goat cheese quiche! Very delicious and tasty! Also tried a croissant and a cappuccino! All were amazing! Will come again!

Good croissants and crepes! Friendly staff

I’ve been debating if I should leave this comment or not. Well, I decided to do it. We got to Charleston a day ago and my boyfriend and I were craving crepes. This place was a suggestion in the area and we decided to try it out. We got there in the morning for “a dark chocolate, coconut sauce and strawberry crepe” and a market crepe (savory one). I wrote all the ingredients of the sweet crepe because the coconut flavor was missing entirely, I suspect it was forgotten and the dark chocolate was just a touch of it. Probably one of the lamest crepe I had! The savory crepe was dry as well. Not convinced we went to the right place! The cashier was very nice and helpful, but the food let us down...

Small cafe great for a quick bite and something sweet

Visited twice on our stay in Charleston. Quiche to French toast to Savory croissant was absolutely great.

Just know that when the menu states a drizzle of chocolate sauce it means a flood of chocolate sauce. Also they neglected to give us the coffee we ordered and paid for. So the banana strawberry crepe was tossed, coffee never received and this place definitely falls terribly short of the bar set from the reviews.

Great cafe. Best pastries in town!! Will definitely go again next time we are in town

Great food!

Fun little French themed breakfast and lunch place.

This place is absolutely delightful!! The staff were very kind. Definitely recommend the quiche and French toast!

When I wanta little taste of France, I go here. The food and pastries are delicious.

The food was just okay. The coffee and French toast were warm. I prefer hot.

Chocolate croissant was a real croissant. The chicken salad croissant and spinach and goat cheese ones were not, but still an ok sandwich. Great amaretto cookie and macaroons! Ill def go back to try more items.

Best service and pastries in town! Everything was delicious.

Great food and friendly staff! The macarons are delicious! Will definitely go again next chance I have!

Cafe framboise, so named one must assume, from the terrible pink accent wall you are greeted with. Decor is mostly gimmicky with some local art to round out the mismatched aesthetic. The chocolate twist was well made but then microwaved. What should have been a delicate and sweet French delight was more of a gas station grab item. The espresso was strong but in a plastic cup, for sit in at a French Cafe I would hope for porcelain, but again let down. I write this still waiting for a croque madam .. its been 23 minutes. If youve ever been to the continent of Europe, stay away from here.Edit: The food is redeeming, so if you can get it delivered. Let the food transport you to a place far from this college student trap.

Authentic French cuisine, with impeccable service, this cafe has it all. I recommend the Vol Au Vent and the Almond Croissant. Highly recommend the patio as well, and it is also family friendly.

Yes, just read all the positive reviews and they are correct. My wife and I are here now enjoying an absolutely delightful late breakfast. I had the French Toast and my wife had spinach and mushroom voulavent. The ambiance, the food, the staff, all perfect just like you’re in France at a popular bistro/ patisserie. Guaranteed to be a high spot on any visit to Charleston.

Quality crossiant and massive crepes. Lady working was helpful. Got the chicken crepe and the breakfast sandwich.

This place has wonderful coffee and pastries. The atmosphere and customer service is so friendly and we really enjoyed Cafe Framboise, would highly recommend.

Great service and staff took time to answer menu questions. Outstanding food quality. Location in the heart of Charleston but so tucked away it is quaint and charming. One of my new favs!

I just started working at Café Framboise and look forward to coming in every time! The people are just as great as the delicious food which makes the environment so much fun to be apart of. Being able to see the work put into each dish in the kitchen made me truly understand why everyone always speaks so highly of Café Framboise! I am so happy to be apart of the team!

Sweet friendly staff and a cute little shop to have breakfast in. Great selection of pastries and awesome egg sandwiches! Great coffee too.

Great selection of bakery items- fruit tarts, chocolate croissant and other pastries. Love the atmosphere, kind employees and outdoor patio.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. We loved it so much we went back the next day for more!!! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The coffee didn’t blow my mind but the food was worth it and more!!!

Their avacado toast is made of heated avacado spread( not fresh). Never in my life i had warm avacado as breakfast. Also not pet friendly.

Good.quick.sit down place. Pasties are great, Quiche and omelets really appetizing

Best food ever, the price is definitely worth it. Super friendly staff as well !

Great customer service and tasty spinach and goat cheese croissant! Our barista was very helpful and patient with helping us with our order. Looking forward to coming back when I move here. Prices felt similar to any other downtown that I have lived at or visited.

Amazing bakery, bella decor, kind staff, sweet patio, park in the garage down a door or 2

Really delicious French breakfast and coffee. Cute little breakfast spot with decent prices (although a “cup of fruit” is actually more like a 1/4 cup).

Great eats, good coffee. Had the crepes and a ham and cheese croissant, rustic taste. Will go back!

Owner is extremely nice and the good is fabulous

The best Pastries in town!!! A absolute must if you are in Charleston. The chocolate Crossiant is to die for! Its great with one of their many coffee options! Enjoy it on their patio to really take it all in!

Delicious! I love France!

45 dollars for 2 sandwiches and a half bowl of soup. 28 min from ordering till food was done. My wife and i used to love this place but not so much anymore. Woman all on their phones. Soup was cold. Very upsetting

Very good, good service a little pricey.

Hour wait for hot entries. Pastries were pretty good but wanted something more substantial for breakfast.

Great stop for breakfast. Fresh pastries and breads. The owner was nice and hospitable.

Love this place! Food and service are excellent.

Delicious and delightful! Busy but staff were pleasant and hospitable 👌. Cest magnifique!!!

Amazing restaurant! Enjoyed the music on the patio! Had an almond croissant and French toast (Super delicious). And always enjoyable staff! Highly recommended!

This is a place you definitely want to visit while in Charleston.

Good food. We went thinking it would be a good brunch, but its not a brunch place. Counter service and outdoor seating.

Holy crêpe. Absolutely delicious. Im fairly certain you wont be disappointed with anything on the menu.

Good place for coffee and a pastry in the morning. I was hoping for beignet but they didnt have any.

The food is always so fresh and delicious. The ambience is very relaxed and inviting. The staff is very good and very friendly. It also has a very nice location close to a parking garage and only a block from King Street and two blocks from the Market.

Had nutella banana and strawberrycrepe and veggie pannini....was delicious...good serving sizes...nice interiors....helpful staff

Went on a Sunday around 11am for brunch and they were out of Beignets, something we read they were known for. Disappointed, we ordered iced Chai Lattes and they were extremely watery, way too milky, and cost $6 each?! Won’t be back any time soon, there are plenty of better brunch places around Charleston.

Love French cuisine and this place was no exception...it was exceptional. Friendly faces, great ambience and the most buttery melty croissants. Macaroons to die for and finger smacking apricot tarts. 5 🌟all the way

Do not come here if you are in a hurry!Slower setting but me and my husband really enjoyed our two brunches here during our week long stay! Best almond croissant Ive had in a long time! And it is close to just about everything! We will be back!

Fabulous breakfast. My wife and I shared the French toast and the madden. Probably the best French toast we have ever had. The sandwich was superb.

Off the beaten path, tries real hard to make interesting pastries and lunch treats. General succeeds. Professionals in the kitchen and behind the counter. Give it a shot.

Wonderful breakfast. We had the vegetarian Panini, vegetarian savory crepe, and goat cheese and spinach croissant. The best part of our breakfast was the company we had from the owners 10 year old son.Great outdoor patio, and we were able to bring our dog. Definitely check out this place.

The croissants here are what you’d expect in France. Light, slightly buttery and flaky. So hard to find in the US. The coffee is good as well. It is a bit on the pricy side but for this quality I’m fine with it!

Good idea, questionable execution. Also the price to value ratio is incredibly high. $12 for the Parisian Breakfast which is essentially a plate of breads and a coffee. The bread was good but I agree with other reviewers that this is more of a college student venue than a European eatery.

Friendliest staff ever! Food was okay most due to the price point but we never tried their homemade French toast which looked amazing! Sitting indoors left us with the kitchen smell that we have been next to the fryer all day. I would suggest sitting outside. Also limited seating but worth trying.

The coffee is pretty good. If youre looking for a place with good fresh croissants I recommend this place. The chocolate croissant and the almond are really good.

Awesome cafe, definitely worth visiting. Friendly staff, welcoming environment, and wonderful food. All of the food is absolutely phenomenal, the pastries are delicious and fresh, and the drinks are great as well. You can tell this is a cafe that values customer satisfaction and quality food. I recently had their chicken panini and strawberry Nutella crepes and I cant wait to go back for another round. They also have unique seasonal menu options! Cannot recommend it enough. Location is a very easy walk to popular Charleston destinations (City Market, King St, East Bay waterfront, CofC campus, etc).

I went in for brunch yesterday and the staff was so warm and pleasant! I enjoyed my iced latte while waiting for my order on the patio. My crepe complete was fabulous! So fresh and made to perfection! There was even a young man playing his guitar, ever so gently, to make my experience even more enjoyable! Picked up some pastries before I left, and have to say that I highly recommend this Cafe, whether dining alone or with family and friends ♥️...

Nice little cafe on the corner. Walk up counter ordering style with several tables inside and outside. The chicken Florentine crepe was tasty but a little intimidating in size. Split between two people, we were stuffed afterwards. Very heavy on the bechamel sauce.The Madeleine cookies are fantastic and worth getting with a coffee. Overall a nice spot, especially if you can grab a shady table outside, but a little cramped and chaotic when the place starts to fill up.

Excellent service, delish crepes & foamy lattes. Tried the prosciutto, spinach, roasted bell pepper & goat cheese crepe.

Penny here; I had a late breakfast at cafe framboise today. This is my fourth time going there. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Nicole, Rachelle and chefs was very busy getting my order and others out in a timely manner. Food was excellent. Each time I’m there I try something different. I also want to give a great big thanks to the entire staff for making through the tough time (COVID peek). Thanks Penny Alvarado

Stopped in for an early breakfast today. My friend recommended this cute little cafe. The French toast was delicious and i enjoyed the view on the patio.

I was expecting more. I was very excited to try the croque monsieur, but was highly disappointed. The sandwich had very little ham, was dry and burnt. Needless to say, I wont be returning.

The food here is absolutely delicious! Its a bit on the expensive side and their drink variety could be wider, but I thoroughly enjoyed the fare and found it very filling.

On short notice I contacted Café Framboise owner Nicole to cater a surprise birthday party for my wife; I could not be happier that I did. The great food, prompt delivery, and sizeable portions made me look like a superstar. Our guests were so impressed that they expressed their desire to visit the restaurant the next time they were in downtown Charleston. I highly recommend you check out their menu-you will not be disappointed. 5 stars for customer service, food quality, and surpassing expectations.

Delicious! Would recommend to everyone!

I ordered a ham and cheese croissant. I waited a long time for it to be warmed. It had a lot of ham. When I bit into the center, it was a cold glob of goo. It gagged me. I couldnt eat it.

Couldn’t be more disappointed with our experience. The refrigerated section was hot—leading to hot bottled water and curdled yogurt in the parfait. They kindly said they would make me a new parfait. I could see them pulling back several lids of yogurt you get from the grocery store. Five minutes later they told me they didn’t have the ingredients, presumably because all the yogurt was bad. I asked for a smoothie instead, but was told they had no strawberries. I asked for a crepe instead, waited about 30 minutes for the crepe. My three girlfriends also got crepes and they were all burnt. I went back inside to let them know I was displeased and couldn’t wait any longer. They were all standing absentmindedly and only said OK-have a nice day very rudely. No apology. I’m generally very understanding, but COVID is certainly not an excuse for this type of customer service. I wouldn’t advise going here.

Its normally a pretty good local french pastry shop, the current pandemic has everyone scaling down their offerings. Normally the have a lot of goodies to offer, now it pales in comparison. Four stars since they can do better, five stars if they adjust and think about what their clientele want and show physical effort. This pandemic brings the foodies in all of us. Cash in on it.

3.2 I had the chicken, tomato, pesto sandwich and it was poorly prepared. Almost diced chicken and bunched in the middle of the sandwich along with the tomatos stacked so the ends of the sandwich were empty. The lettuce was those skinny long yellow end pieces that you throw in the compost immediately after cutting your lettuce. Coffee was lukewarm. Running the food instead of the beepers might be better than the current system bc when it beeped the food wasnt ready so I grabbed my warm coffee and sat down. The waiter came to us to let us know our food was sitting there.

They were very friendly. Crepes need work.... Coffee was alright. Location great! Too expensive in my opinion. Maybe they have better food options, but my gf and I tried two different savory crepes and we weren’t very impressed

Super cute French bakery and coffee shop. Prices are on the higher end but the quality is exceptional. Highly recommend the market breakfast sandwich on brioche or the Parisian breakfast. Great amount of food for the cost on the later. Are here twice in a week.

Great environment. Wonderful food. Very good price.

Phenomenal restaurant. Amazing food and service was top notch. The chicken paninis were some of the best I’ve ever had. Great desserts. 10/10 would visit again

‘Framboise is nested in a perfect location downtown Charleston, Close to shops, museums, parks, etc with outdoor and indoor seating. The desserts--particularly macaroons -are lovely. ‘Excellent customer service & very clean. Looking forward to bringing clients here in the near future.

Recently ate here About a week or two ago... I wasn’t going to make a rating, but my husband influenced me to do so. Although the customer service was amazing. I had mold on my blueberries, and I noticed about a dozen little flies, fly off this box when a cook reached for the box. And they didn’t even try to hide the fact that the flies were coming off/ out of it 🤢 I found that highly unsanitary.However the Coffee was amazing 😊

Great customer service! Love the staff members. Pastries and danishes are bomb!

There is not enough I can say about the experience my Husband and I had at Cafe Framboise on Labor Day. We were nervous with it being the Holiday that our visit would be rushed and not appreciated, but boy were we wrong! Not only did we feel welcomed, the food was by far the best! My husband had quiche Lorraine, which had both ham and bacon along with Swiss. He was nervous since he’s not used to quiche, but it was definitely tasty! I had the spinach and goat cheese quiche. Now let me say that I am picky about goat cheese. I know that sounds snobby but you always know when you can taste cheap goat cheese, but again I was quite surprised. We both wanted something sweet but didn’t want to fee the guilt afterwards, so we both shared the dark chocolate crepe. It not only had the chocolate we were craving but it has coconut and strawberries. So of course we didn’t feel so guilty since it had fruit. We will definitely be coming back!

My wife loves all things Parisian!! We even honeymooned in Paris, many years ago. She had found this place online, so we decided to read the reviews. But it seems like theres an odd pattern with the reviews... It seems for every bad review they receives there like three 5 stars reviews. Doesnt seem really authentic, but we will still stop by and see what its all about.

I am a regular here. Brought my family here from out of town and the food was fantastic as usual. Absolutely love the staff! Highly recommend!

Best quiche I have ever had! Staff was super sweet!

One of my favorite spots.However five past 2 today they refused to sell me take out pastry because they close at two. Every inside table was still full. (not just 2)In this Covid environment I’m surprised that the staff can’t see the importance of maybe selling some takeout past after closing time. We understood the kitchen was closed and my guess is the pastries get thrown out. Barring that being polite about it is perhaps the most important thing the staff could do.Update- Owners response is appreciated - the worst part is that it sounds like the owner was there. Unfortunately they now have serious competition with La Patiserie and Cafe Du Monde.My average check is $26 for take away pastries and have been loyal Sunday customers for years. Au revoir!

Overall: Unfortunately unorganized and chaotic, this local cafe has the potential to be something better.The good: They have some great sounding options, but I went with the plain market sandwich. The eggs were fluffy and the bacon and cheddar were a good pairing (of course). The crossiant as the sandwich bun was great as well and was flaky and buttery.The not-so-good: During COVID, this place was a nightmare. Cramped, unorganized, people standing everywhere waiting for their meals. There was no queue and not a lot of seating to begin with, and because it was raining not a lot of people were sitting outside. Some of the prices are a bit high for the quality of the food. To top it off, the coffee wasnt goodFood/drink: 8/10Atmosphere: 6/10Service: 6/10

The crossants were amazing. They are made fresh everyday and should not be missed. I have had crossants in France and these were a duplicate.., absolutely delicious. Go and get one and see for yourself

We had a chicken crepe and the chicken was very dry, we asked for tap water and they said they could only sell bottled water, after having lunch we wanted sweet crepes, it was 2.20pm (they close at 3pm) and they said they couldn’t make crepes because the kitchen was already closed (almost 1 hour early). We had then a couple macaroons, nothing special, a pumpkin pie and mini cakes. Nothing extraordinary. A bit pricey for what you get and customer service very disappointing.

Food was great! I ordered 2 chocolate croissants and a crepe and it was excellent. The staff was super friendly. Absolutely recommend!!

I came here for breakfast and lunch this week. The French toast and quiche are highly recommended.
