Park Circle and Charleston Recommendations
Food scene - Park Circle
My favorite coffee place and bakery, open every day from 7am-10pm. Get there early to get the best selection of baked goods. 10 minute walk from the house, or quick 1-minute drive down the street. Usually can find parking in front of the building. (NOT to be confused with EVO Pizzeria next door).

New Orleans cajun cuisine with Charleston flair, a great atmosphere and one of the most popular restaurants in the area. Get there before 8pm to get a seat, or go for a late lunch, there's usually a wait.

One of the newest restaurants in Park Circle, it competes with some of the best of downtown in terms of high-level food and service. Fantastic seafood dishes and craft cocktails, make a reservation to get a table. (Sister restaurant to Stems & Skins wine bar across the street).
