Le Chambertin brings the traditional French pastry to Church Street. The bakery offers it year round, giving Charleston a king cake option beyond the Carnival season.
Callie's Hot Little Biscuit · Upper King
Callie’s turns the holiday cake into a pair of shortcake biscuits with vanilla buttercream and purple, gold and green sprinkles. The biscuits are offered at its King Street counter.
