Saffron Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Nice casual restaurant with friendly servers and absolutely wonderful on-site bakery. Menu is full of choices, reasonable prices and food typically is good but, lacks "knocks your socks off" flavor or pizazz
We came to Saffron Bakery for dessert and were lucky to grab a parking spot in the front. I came here on my roommate's recommendation for their cakes and I was blown away by their pastry selection! They have rows and rows of so many different cakes, cheesecakes, tarts, cookies - SO MANY GOODIES! The hardest part of my day was trying to figure out which dessert to get while waiting in line. The service was friendly and quick. I ended up getting their tiramisu and chocolate praline cheesecake. The tiramisu was pretty big with the cream layer being a bit too much for me, but the dessert itself is so light and fluffy that it doesn't feel heavy. It has the perfect amount of coffee flavor and isn't too sweet - great for a dessert after a heavy meal. The chocolate praline cheesecake on the other hand, is so decadent and delicious! Thick, creamy, chocolatey - perfect for a treat-yourself sweet treat. Both of these huge slices of cake were under $12!!! In this day, that price was crazy to me - a great deal for the amount of dessert we got. The best place to grab dessert with friends. There is so much variety that you will all definitely leave very happy and satisfied! I can't wait to come back to try their red velvet cheesecake.
Stopped in for lunch and was seated right away. The waitress was nice but everything just seemed to take a while. The chicken gyro with fries did taste good and the reason for the 4 stars. The restaurant itself just felt dated and nothing super fresh about it. They were quite busy and when I left they told the table next to me in it would be about a 25 min wait.
Amazing bakery and restaurant, fine Mediterranean food, and great service. We went with a large group of 6 families. The service was excellent we were seated right away as a group. Food came out really quick. The lamb gyro, and the the Cornish hen kabob were the two items to die for. So tasty and well cooked with the right amount of spices. They also serve coffee, tee and deserts we did buy some of the pastries and brought them back home. Prices are reasonable added with great service. Highly recommended if you are in the Charleston SC area.
