Gnome is in Downtown Charleston near MUSC. It is easy to find. On a corner. Its small as the photos show. There were lots of people getting take out or ordered ahead. I had the vegan burger. It was great! Gnome costs little more than fast food, but so much better, healthy, and freshly made. I will definitely stop by again the next time Im in the area!

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Visiting from out of town, I was happy to find and all vegan place. We went during brunch hours on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy. They do have seating outside weather permitting. I had the breakfast burrito which is very good.

In Charleston for the weekend with my vegan daughter and found this little gem. Food was soooo good - breakfast burrito with a side of brussel sprouts, fried seitan sandwich, tumeric and lavender lattes. Everything was all great and we grabbed a sidewalk table so our dog could hang with us. No question well be back.

Great little vegan place tucked into the corner. They serve breakfast and lunch with a full coffee bar. Breakfast burrito was very good.

Just absolutely delightful. Everything is vegan and many gluten free options. The staff is super friendly and it has a lovely atmosphere. The food is excellent and the coffee was good too. There is some outdoor seating. I could keep raving but you should just try it.

Nice joint with friendly and professional staff. Would give 5 stars if they start selling animal products. 😀

Everything is amazing! Highly recommend. Enjoyed the salad, Mac and cheese and a donut 🤤

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! Efficient and friendly service, great food. They really went above and beyond to find out which meals had nuts in them for me, as I am allergic. I will 100% be back.

Ordered the breakfast bagel, but subbed biscuit for bagel and hemp sausage for the bacon. I also had a side of Brussels sprouts. The breakfast sandwich was alright. Pretty bland and quite salty. The Brussels sprouts though - holy cow those were delicious! Would order those many times over again.It does get a bit crowded at lunchtime, which caused some confusion at the door. Ordering online is recommended because then you can just grab and go!

I love Gnome! This place is the best. Good food and cute atmosphere. We come here frequently. The chai latte is amazing.

Everything was delicious. The vegan BLT was outstanding! Also the golden milk latte and brownie were fabulous. Would highly recommend. Disappointed I didn’t get pics.

This place is really nice! The food is awesome and the staff was friendly. On the website it looked as if this place was take out only. I wish I would have brought my stuff to do work there because it is open for you to do work there. I had the pepper jam sausage biscuit. I loved it! I have also tried the burrito, tofu scramble, home fries, and a cookie. Every single thing has been high quality. Excited to come back with my stuff next time!

The chickpea tuna salad was delicious. I also ordered one of the biscuits and was highly impressed by how good it was. If I didnt know any better, I would have thought it wasnt vegan. Try some of their lunch menu but definitely make room for a biscuit.

Love, love, loooove this place! Seriously the best latte Ive ever had.

Visiting Charleston from out of town and came here 3 times during our visit. The first visit we ordered the Grit Bowl and Cinnamon Pancakes as well as specialty coffee drinks, then took a chocolate chip cookie and gluten free brownie to go. The next morning we stopped by for coffee again, then came back the following day for coffees and picked up a fresh cinnamon roll and a caramel ginger chocolate cup. Best coffee we had on vacation! Loved the variety of alternative milk options. Wish we had made it back for lunch while we were in town.

Amazing vegan fare! We had the “chicken” sandwich, mac&chz, and cinnamon pancakes. All delicious. And thank you for using strawberries, bananas, and blueberries in the fruit cup and no melon! 😁

I ate here as often as I could while visiting the Charleston area. It was probably solely responsible for the extra weight I put on, because the food was good I had to have two breakfasts every time! Their vegan bagel breakfast sandwich is probably the best bagel sandwich I have had in years. If you have a moment to stop by here, you will NOT be disappointed. You can park right across the street in a gravel lot, it will save you time from searching for a spot off the road.

I love this all Vegan restaurant in downtown Charleston. Ive loved everything Ive gotten so far. I got the vegan Reuben and Brussel Sprouts the last time, and it was delicious.

The BEST vegan place I have ever been to!! I got the breakfast burrito and cheesy grits, and both were PHENOMENAL they were sooo delicious. I also got a pumpkin spice latte and it was great! The staff was also were very kind, and welcoming.

Ordered BLT with sausage and late and coffee and it was all very good. The people are nice and the place has good vibes. They take their vegan business seriously - no whole milk offered. I’m not a vegan but loved it here. They have a cool water bottle filling station in the restaurant too. Come check these guys out! Sending love from Connecticut!

Awesome hidden gem I am so happy I found!! Takeout and dine in food were both wonderful and HOT. Want try everything on the menu! So far their chocolate chip cookies are to die for, just soft sweet & salty HEAVEN! Also, love the eco friendly utensils and to go boxes. Will continue to support you guys!!! 👏🏼

The best vegan Mac. The best sietan fried chicken. Add Buffalo sauce for sure. Super friendly :) Will be back.

We had a day trip and looked this place up for vegan fare. Its a gem. The restaurant is pristine and modern. There are ample vegan and gluten free choices. The staff were friendly. Its not too pricey. There are quick grabs, too. The only challenge is parking. But, it was worth walking a few blocks.

So happy to find this delicious vegan cafe during my recent trip to Charleston. I went once for lunch, once for breakfast, and also stopped by on the way to the airport to get something healthy to eat during my trip. Everything was delicious and the light and airy interior encourages you to relax and enjoy!

Love the vibe of the Gnome Cafe and the food is always a crowd pleaser. Today I got the oatmeal cookie smoothie and it was incredibly good😍

Hard to find a full vegan restaurant in Charleston. We are downtown and walked 40 minutes to the location. It was a nice walk and that is the fun of it. Im also gluten free and was able to eat pancakes! Definitely going again while on vacation! Husband got the breakfast bagel.

Fantastic. Had 3 different mains including the grits (awesome), burrito (great) and cinnamon pancakes (good!). Red cappuccino with hemp milk was really nice too.

This place was so so delicious!! We ate here twice during our visit. The staff is friendly easy to talk to. Nice to see so many people eating and enjoying vegan food. Makes me so happy!!😊

Loved this place. Im making my own scrambled tofu now after having it here and its so good

Great experience! I ordered through Uber Eats. I called to make a change to the order and they were polite and accommodating. Highly recommend for healthy, flavorful alternative to usual breakfast!

Delicious vegan breakfast. The hemp sausage biscuit tasted great with strawberry jam. Would definitely visit here again when in town. Hope to try their lunch options next time.

Tried this spot with my sister who is not vegan this past weekend (her recommendation) and we both loved it! I ordered the breakfast burrito and was impressed with the portion size (vegan doesnt mean small portions!). The fries were also the best Ive had anywhere in a long time. Recommended to anyone.

Excellent Vegan food and a wide selection of plant based milks for all coffee drinks (at no extra charge). The menu is rich with a variety of healthy delicious options for every taste, well thought out feel-good food, and the dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients. The coffee drinks are great - the oat milk latte was the best Ive tried! The prices are low compared to anything else in the area. I wish we had found it earlier.

From Ohio and go back everytime we visit Charleston. Its SO good! Southern grit bowl cant be beat! Youd never know its vegan!

One of the best breakfast/lunch places in Charleston. Short walk from MUSC.

An absolute favorite of ours! Consistently delivers excellent quality and top-notch service. The breakfast burrito is a favorite but you really cant go wrong with anything on their menu. Get there early to enjoy an out-of-this-world cinnamon roll!

Super cute cafe. I had the chickpea tuna salad and it was great. The tuna salad was very light, without a lot of stuff that drowned out the chickpeas—very tasty. My friend got the bulgogi Korean bowl and he liked it.

Every time we visit a different city we try vegan food. This time was no the exception. This place have a good location. Food was ok a d service too. One of the girls behind the bar taking your order were to one of the tables were it was a person with a dog and she she went touched and played with the dog a d went back to work without washing her hands. I believe they should be very careful with how they behave because to some customers this might be no deal but to some other it is. Anyway i think we shouldnt judge the place for just one person behavior.....

Excellent food. Great service.

Grey gluten free options and its all vegan! Delicious for allergy folks and everyone else, too

Delicious veggie burger, well salted fries, yummy Mac and cheese, and delicious pancakes. My whole family, wife, and two young kids, enjoyed themselves

Amazing food—awesome people—and VEGAN!

Love this place! The food is always on point, a great mix of healthier stuff and comfort food. I highly recommend the fried seitan sandwich. So good! The staff is always kind and welcoming as well.

Excellent!

This is vegan place. Food is really fresh and we loved the taste. We ordered appetizers, main course and drinks(non alcoholic) everything was perfect ! If you are two people visiting you have small seating arrangements outside the restaurant. We had a perfect weather and loved it

We visited the Gnome Cafe on our recent trip to Charleston and everything we tried was fabulous! From the Breakfast Burrito, to our favorite the breakfast Bagel, to all the snacks and treats. The staff was friendly, the cafe very conveniently located, and the place overall was very clean. Youll love the food!

The food here was incredible! I got a vegan BLT which consisted of cooked portabello mushrooms and it was SO GOOD. The mushrooms were cooked to perfection and covered in this creamy sauce that had a smoky flavor to it, I honestly wish I had thier recipee! I also got a side of Mac and cheese that was phenomenal, upon asking the staff I found that it was cooked with a cashew “cheese” base! It also had a great flavor to it. My partner got the seitan sandwich and it was incredible as well and tasted JUST like a fried crispy chicken sandwich, I have no idea how they do it. They also seemed to have a lot of drink options made in house but there’s also a cooler with a great selection of little drinks. I also really liked the atmosphere of this restaurant, there was music playing but not too loudly and everyone was SO friendly. Overall, 10/10 I would definitely eat here often if there were one in my own town.

Fantastic vegan food, lots of options. Best tempeh reuben Ive had. Great service and atmosphere

I’m not a vegan but was really pleasantly surprised by this gorgeous space and flavorful food! I got the hempseed “sausage” patty, which was spicy, well textured, and filling. Would recommend as your new local cafe!

I had a great experience trying Gnome Cafe this morning. First impression is a lasting impression and they didnt disappoint. Great food, great service, and friendly staff.

Great options for Vegan or Vegetarian + healthy drink options. Not a lot of seating (esp for larger groups) + only street parking. I ordered a Veggie burger w/lettuce, tomato, comback sauce (it came w/a side of pickles that were SO good) & home fries w/onions & peppers.

Good food, nice people. The fries are delicious!! The only thing taking away a star is the fact that every time I go the guy in back has his mask on improperly with his nose out while cooking. Last time I went I also the saw the two guys in the back unmasked eating their lunch near where they cook which was a big turn-off at the time. They should eat outside or in the seating area, away from food prep. Its still a pandemic going on and I want to know my food is being prepped by someone with a mask and gloves.

Def recommend the hot chocolate (I had mine with soy!)

Great cafe! Tempeh rueben and the breakfast burrito were out of this world! Highly recommend

Great food and nice atmosphere

Dont normally eat vegan but love this place. Everything has good here even their bagels with avacado and hot sauce. I could eat here any day!

We had the Geechie boy grits 🤤 amazing, we also had had the sausage biscuit and a fruit bowl

One of a few Vegan friendly spots.Ample portions, good breakfast place close to local hospitals.

Wonderful gem, great for breakfast or brunch. Try the breakfast burrito, get coffee or a smoothie. Flavorful brussel sprouts. Friendly service too!

Awesome meal.How many gnomes are in one if those cinnamon buns anyway?

It was good for my first time having a full vegan menu. I will say a almond milk latte was not as bad as I thought. Set outside and I think they did forget about us but want to be moved inside they brought her food to us. It was very delicious for tofu and seasoned perfectly.

Could not have been more pleased! All of our food was so delicious (especially the yogurt parfait and cinnamon roll)! The staff are kind and helpful. There was no wait which is hard to find for Sunday brunch in Charleston, and the parking deck next door made it easy to get to. Thanks Gnome Cafe for a great surprise - I’ve added you to my list of favorites!

Best breakfast burrito ever! Staff is super friendly and helpful!

This place was an excellent meeting spot for some very close friends of mine during a trip to South Carolina. Fairly decent menu for breakfast and lunch. Staff was very courteous and attentive. Ordered a veggie burger with their house made pickles and it was REALLY good. Very light, but filling. Bun was not heavy like other buns Ive had. Would DEFINITELY reccomend

I brought my meat and potatoes husband here and he loved every morsel! The hemp sausage biscuit with pepper jelly is scrumptious (I never use that word) and quite filling. Vegans don’t have to worry about anything non-vegan slipping into their food; there is nothing in the restaurant that isn’t vegan! The atmosphere is bright, clean and crisp with lots of green plants everywhere. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The only downside is parking..but it’s downtown so you kind of expect that.

Really awesome vegan food. Good coffee too. Be sure to check the hours of operation before you stop in.

Amazing vegan food and cute setting! We loved the vegan Mac and cheese so much!

The chickpea tuna salad is the best salad I’ve ever had...so good! I also enjoyed the Buffalo burger and fries 🤤. Had the hemp sandwich...not impressed at all. Very dry, the biscuit as well.The minus two stars is for the ridiculous and horrible parking situation and not the friendliest staff. I would go to Gnome maybe once a week but due to the lack of parking I have to make it less often. Many times I’ve gone and done circles looking for parking and then leave Bc it’s a joke. Even the curbside pickup is always taken. They need to start bringing it to your car like a drive through or rent the parking in front.

Cute cafe with vegetarian and vegan options.

The best customer service!! Nice place nice staff good food 🤤🤤🤤

We had tried to dine here before, but they close a bit early. When we finally made it happen, it was worth the wait. She had the grit bowl (I think) and I had a veggie burger. We both enjoyed every morsel! Definitely, its a place to revisit.

Moved from West Ashley to Summerville and we still eat at Gnome even though it is now a 30 minute commute. Great staff, great service, and amazing food. Wife and I have almost tried the whole menu and have yet to be disappointed.

Its amazing. Friendly and helpful staff and the food is exactly what I would make at home.

We placed an order online for lunch while visiting Charleston. It is always great to find a vegetarian spot to get a filling meal and this cafe did not disappoint. Both of our sandwiches were great and the side order of fries was huge.

Excellent food and a good experience!

Good vibes! Good coffee & cookies! Helpful employees! I love the music, plants, & decor of the place too!

Fully vegan, delicious, and such a wonderful atmosphere! Its a must when visiting Charleston! Great variety and options. The Tumeric Latte is seriously one of the best lattes Ive ever had! Truly delicious and such fun and friendly service!

Lovely cafe & so happy to have vegetarian options when so many other local restaurants are meat centric. Got the greensicle smoothie and BLT on delicious sourdough. Will be back for sure!

May be Vegan, its fantastic!!

Service was fabulous! Do not miss out on the portabello bacon. Its amazing!

Had a wonderful vegan meal here at Gnome! My mom and I first visited last year and are so glad we came back! The atmosphere is lovely, and the food is delicious!

Amazingly great breakfast! (Lunch, too!)

Charming Cafe with delicious food. Best coffee Ive had in Charleston.

The food was delicious and the employees were very friendly and helpful suggesting other vegan friendly restaurants in Charleston.

Great vegan food. Environmentally friendly packaging. Doing it right!!

Awesome Vegan breakfast burrito and mac and cheese!

Awesome smoothie, delicious burrito, gorgeous fries ... all so good. Highly recommended!

This place was so good. I got the everything bagle sandwich with cheese grits and my boyfriend got the burrito and both were absolutely amazing. Definitely worth checking out!

If you are a Vegan and you visit the Low Country of Charleston, S.C. Please go to Gnome Café for some great Vegan Southern Style cuisine. I ate the Hemp Sausage Biscuit with pepper jam and a side of their tofu scramble with Portobello bacon. Simply Delicious! My wife had Southern Grit Bowl hardy portions enough for 2 people to share. The price point is fair too. Best part of our visit so far. Southern Hospitality at its best.

Great service and atmosphere, clean, and the food is absolutely delicious!

Health food Cafe and a nice place to hang.Friendly people.

Great vegan food, pastries, and coffee. We sat outside with our dog and had a great meal.

Ordered a portabello BLT with fries - each fantastic! The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and eclectic. Youve got to go! I would definitely return if in the area again. Worth the visit!!!

Taco Salad 🥗 ❤️❤️ - Hemp Sausage biscuit❤️One of the best places in the corner of the medical heart of downtown Charleston, SC !Opens early and serves breakfast and lunch menu round the clock !!New Spacing and added life size wildlife to assure social distancing makes the atmosphere and esthetic Soo comfy and unique.Clean food with bang-in flavor and amazing customer service, especially with the busy traffic and operating in the middle of a pandemic!!

Prices are good. Everything my friend and I tried and was recommended was fantastic!! I would highly recommend and will come back when I visit.

Breakfast grits were delicious, ambiance was relaxed, biscuit and attitude of cashier were subpar.

Incredible vegan food! Highly recommended. Food and coffee were both on point. Try the biscuit!

Exquisite food and exceptional service. Loved the Reuben, Hemp Sausage and Brussel Sprouts. Flavors went really well together. Servers and cashier were very nice and had great recommendations as it was my first time there. Very clean and nice bathroom as well.

My first time here. Really good! Customer service was awesome, latte was awesome, breakfast burito was awesome! I cant wait to come back and try some more!

Every time Im in Charleston I visit Gnome Cafe. The fried seitan sandwich is one of the best vegetarian sandwiches Ive ever had! I always get it buffalo style. Their menu is loaded with fantastic vegan and vegetarian options. This place is an absolute must place to visit!
