"Baker Allison Anspach, who worked at a vegan bakery in New Orleans after graduating from Tulane and later attended culinary school in San Diego, opened this neighborhood bakery with her husband John Nagler to focus on bread and dough-based pastries. Located at 601 Meeting Street, the shop highlights seasonal ingredients from Grow Food, aims to be a convenient stop for baguettes, loaves, and simple breakfast pastries, and keeps a rotating menu while always offering staples such as a scone, a plain croissant, and a chocolate croissant." - Erin Perkins
LITERALLY an amazing bakery. We had the Morning Bun, Croissant, and Tomato Pesto Focaccia- every single thing was insanely good. The croissant and bun were baked to perfection. They were super fresh, crispy, and just so satisfying! Honestly could write them a full on love letter than just this review. Can’t wait to go back!

I'm from Portland Maine where we have no shortage of delicious bakeries, and I was really impressed with Grit! The sourdough was great and the cheddar biscuit was as good as my favorite biscuit from Tandem Bakery back home. Plus a great space and great coffee as a bonus!

Such a cute space and awesome baked goods! I came for the opening this morning and I have already gobbled up the cheddar green onion biscuit. It was delicious! Can’t wait to try the rest and will definitely be back!

Wow! New Grit Bakery has just become my new favorite spot in the neighborhood! Their croissants are delightfully flaky and satisfyingly filling, while the focaccia is soft, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with flavor. The Italian breakfast cake is incredibly fluffy and scrumptious, making it an absolute must try. I can’t wait to go back often and indulge in their delicious offerings!

Probably the best baguette on the peninsula!
The cardamom bread is also amazing, very friendly staff, plenty of parking!
I hope they get on Too Good to Go 😅

Grit Bakery is fabulous. I stopped by recently and ended up going back the next day too. The pastries are flaky and light, the blueberry lemon danish was fresh with just the right amount of sweetness, the chocolate croissant was perfectly balanced and the almond croissant was perfection. And the chocolate chip cookie was a big hit. Bonus there’s easy parking available. Highly recommend this new bakery!

Everything is perfection! From the flaky, buttery variety of croissants, to the perfected sourdough. I pop in almost weekly! The grit cookie is an absolute fave, as well as the savory ham and cheese croissants. Stop by-you won’t be disappointed!

Best croissant in Charleston! The baguette is amazing. Every baked good here is delicious. Space is roomy and cute, too. Female-owned. Would give it 6 stars if I could.

My favorite local bakery! I've had everything from savory pastries to sweet seasonal pastries and they are incredible. Highly recommend! There is free 2 hr parking in the Meeting Street Loft complex if you want to work there. So happy this bakery opened up in the neighborhood.
