Charleston
in South Carolina

If you have your finger on the pulse of what's going on in food, then you've probably heard of Charleston. One of the oldest cities in America - and probably one of the most European - Charleston is incredible. Stunning, colourful stucco houses pepper the oak-lined streets, and the food is some of the best in the U.S. It's about time you checked it out.

Harken Cafe

French Quarter coffee & tea

breakfast

Little sister to uptown favourite The Harbinger, Harken holds the fort for great coffee and even greater pastries in the French Quarter. There’s a steady rotation of flavours – most of which are nearly impossible to resist – but if you’re lucky, you’ll pop in on a day when there are pimento bacon biscuits. Tender and perfectly cheesy, they’re so good you just might tuck a few extras into your bag to take home.
