Coffee, pastries, deli, wine, and famous biscuit towers
"Operated by Charleston restaurateur Edward Crouse and his wife Marie Stitt, this café offers a weekly aperitivo on Fridays and Saturdays from 4 p.m. to close featuring complimentary Italian-style snacks—boquerones, focaccia, quality olives, spicy cucumbers, marinated white beans, and pickled okra—intended as a way to give back to regulars and appeal to tourists. The initiative is rooted in the owners’ Italian memories and inspiration; Crouse frames it as an affordable way to provide great food, drink, and service, even absorbing roughly $100 a week in food costs to ensure guests have a lively weekend experience." - Erin Perkins
"An Italian pop-up will serve a paglia e fieno pasta meal with salad and dessert for $40; the casual pasta service begins at 5:30 p.m. and requires signing up for reservations." - Erin Perkins
"Keep an eye on Instagram for announcements of the famous biscuit tower at Babas on Meeting. Gather six friends for a multilayered feast (only available on Saturdays) of fluffy biscuits, fresh jam, thick bacon, cream cheese, lox, and so much more. If the tower isn’t available, Babas still offers generous portions of avocado toasts, perfectly dressed salads, pastries, coffee, and fun wines." - Erin Perkins
"Time for wine? Or is it time for coffee? Babas on Meeting (and Babas on Cannon) can fulfill either craving, along with pastries, a ham on baguette sandwich, or a big salad. The Meeting Street location has more space, so a better chance of grabbing a seat at the handsome bar." - Erin Perkins
"A second outpost of a petite café/bar that has taken over a small sandwich-and-soup café within a larger establishment; it continues the original's casual cafe focus while bringing the Babas team's approach to sandwiches, soups, and salads to a new location." - Erin Perkins
