Four of us were vacationing in Charleston, SC, about three weeks ago. We stopped here after walking around Charleston in the hot sun for about 5 hours so that we could use the restroom, get something to snack on, and, most importantly, get something to drink.
There's enough room in Bakehouse for one large group and three smaller groups of 4 people to sit at their tables. Employees wore face masks, and there was a piece of paper inside the business that stated face masks were required, but it sure wasn't enforced since the employees provided customer service to everyone who placed an order regardless of their face covering status. The restaurant wasn't clean; the employees expected, as indicated by a sign on the door that requested all customers bus their tables, the customers to clean up after themselves. It's just that the employees didn't follow up with actually wiping down the tables and throwing away all trash left behind. The result was that there were discarded napkins on the floor, the floor looked like it hadn't been swept that day, and crumbs and bits of food and moisture from drinks remained on the tables. the employees were nice.
We ordered an Italian prosciutto and mozzarella panini for all of us to share, a slice of key lime pie for two of them to share, and four drinks, mine of which was a lavender green tea. I found out real quick by watching the employees behind the counter that the food that is sold was pre-made and put into the refrigerated glass display case for customers to see. The employee just removed the slice of key lime pie and served it. However, we had asked the employee to cut the panini into four pieces. He took the pre-made panini out of the display case, heated it up in the microwave, cut it into four pieces and served it. I just wish it was a fresh sandwich. I didn't taste the key lime pie, but those who ate it said that it was good. The panini was just OK in flavor. I thought the panini was very overpriced for the quality and the amount of food we received. The drinks were good.
Overall, this place was OK.
