Cafe Framboise - Charleston

The shop was moderately busy at 11:00 on a Sunday morning. Service was relatively quick. Seemed to be a number of phone-in (or online) orders handled between walk-in orders.Staff was friendly.Please add heavy cream as a option for coffee.

We’ve been coming here every now and then for the past 4 or 5 years, and we have seen the quality decline.The place had a French owner before, which was great because they were offering authentic buckwheat crepes (eggless), and the regular crepes were fantastic. We kept on coming when the new owner took over and, while they didn’t offer buckwheat crepes anymore, the regular crepes were still very good.Today, we came for the last time. The crepes were definitely not made by order: they were COLD. Not as in “I made these 10 minutes ago and they’re cold”, but more like “I took these out of the fridge 10 minutes ago”. Surprisingly, they were crunchy on the edges (crunchy crepes are not even a thing). They were also lacking in filling: they used to spread hazelnut spread inside the whole crepes, and now they spread it in the middle, so you end up with a half-empty crepe. If this was our first time, we wouldn’t come back again. Since we have been coming for years and we know how the quality has gone down…we won’t be coming back either.If you’re looking for crepes, go to the other crepe place in Charleston. If you like the place or you eat something different, come here.

The location and outdoor seating is gorgeous. The coffee is only so-so and even though it wasn't terribly busy, the wait was long and our order wasn't correct. They fixed it for us when we alerted them of the error.

$6 for a tiny chai tea latte. You’d hope it would be good, but it tastes like coffee and milk. Would not recommend and will definitely not be going back.

We lived in charleston, for the last 9 years, and this place was our stone. we loved it when the French owners had it. fresh food, great service, warm people and amazing baked goods. but the new administration took over at the beginning of the pandemic and it went downhill. we moved from charleston 8 months ago and recently returned for the holiday. of course we stopped at this place, as we had so many memories there and had remained completely disappointed. nothing was fresh or warm. Honestly, we felt that the dings seemed bought. the place has really become a disappointment. sad.
