LITERALLY an amazing bakery. We had the Morning Bun, Croissant, and Tomato Pesto Focaccia- every single thing was insanely good. The croissant and bun were baked to perfection. They were super fresh, crispy, and just so satisfying! Honestly could write them a full on love letter than just this review. Can’t wait to go back!

Grit bakery is part of my morning routine where I go and grab some of the best muffins, and then I head on over for some coffee and study time at Blum Coffee and Wine Bar down the street. great service here from the gals in the front counter and even better pastries. Very fresh. We will continue to return.

Excellent bakery! We went on a morning between Christmas and New Years to grab a couple items and coffee. All the pastries looked great and the ones we tried (chocolate croissant, ham & cheese croissant, and the chocolate cookie) were top-tier. Additionally, the coffee was some of the best in the area (we had both cold brew and straight espresso). The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I would go out of my way for this place - highly recommend.

Gritt is an outstanding bakery with incredible baked goods that never disappoint. Every visit feels like a treat, and the bread is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. I only wish they were open 24/7 so I could stop by anytime for something delicious. Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving quality and consistency daily.

Amazing bread and pastries, made on site. Small business. Great coffee. Friendly people. Quiet space. Local sources. Free parking. It seems too good to be real. Grit Bakery, how is it that we are just now meeting? Where have your strawberry scones been all my life? Is this what I’ve been missing?

I’m visiting Charleston for the weekend, and found Grit Bakery online. I was looking for a scone specifically, and the one at Grit is excellent. The staff is very friendly, and they serve Counter Culture coffee, made on a super cool yellow La Marzocco espresso machine. They have multiple kinds of croissants, sweet breads (pumpkin, etc.), and cookies, as well as sourdough loaves and baguettes.

my husband and I are visiting Charleston for a month from NYC. We love getting fresh sourdough and in NY, there are incredible bakeries on every street. But I'm telling you, the sourdough at Grit is next level. Honestly some of the best I've ever had (outside of France). I also love that they'll handslice it for you. I haven't tried their pastries yet but I'm sure they're also incredible. Love this place.

Grit is the best bakery I’ve ever visited! MJ was so lovely to talk with, and everything we tried was incredible! The croissants, banana bread, cheddar jalapeño biscuits, and the specialty hazelnut croissant were all outstanding. This spot is an absolute must-visit when you’re in Charleston!
