First stop of the day was a great choice. Incredibly welcoming staff who were wonderfully helpful with directions, lovely amounts of greenery inside, a delicious iced oat milk latte and breakfast burrito make this a fantastic place to stop in Charleston.

Gnome is in Downtown Charleston near MUSC. It is easy to find. On a corner. It's small as the photos show. There were lots of people getting take out or ordered ahead. I had the vegan burger. It was great! Gnome costs little more than fast food, but so much better, healthy, and freshly made. I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area!

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Visiting from out of town, I was happy to find and all vegan place. We went during brunch hours on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy. They do have seating outside weather permitting. I had the breakfast burrito which is very good.

Amazing vegan restaurant!! So many amazing options, it was hard to choose. I opted for the breakfast bagel sandwich. As a New Yorker, I was impressed with their bagel! So delicious.

So happy to find this delicious vegan cafe during my recent trip to Charleston. I went once for lunch, once for breakfast, and also stopped by on the way to the airport to get something healthy to eat during my trip. Everything was delicious and the light and airy interior encourages you to relax and enjoy!

Ordered BLT with sausage and late and coffee and it was all very good. The people are nice and the place has good vibes. They take their vegan business seriously - no whole milk offered. I’m not a vegan but loved it here. They have a cool water bottle filling station in the restaurant too. Come check these guys out! Sending love from Connecticut!

I’m not a vegan but was really pleasantly surprised by this gorgeous space and flavorful food! I got the hempseed “sausage” patty, which was spicy, well textured, and filling. Would recommend as your new local cafe!
Jessica Chambers
This cute little cafe was located close to our hotel. The food was delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful. I got the breakfast burrito with portobello mushrooms. Best breakfast burrito ever! I’d highly recommend checking It out when in Charleston, SC

Hard to find a full vegan restaurant in Charleston. We are downtown and walked 40 minutes to the location. It was a nice walk and that is the fun of it. I'm also gluten free and was able to eat pancakes! Definitely going again while on vacation! Husband got the breakfast bagel.
Jaclyn Cox
The cutest vegan cafe! The staff was super nice and it’s dog friendly. I stopped in with my dog to grab a bagel and iced coffee during our morning walk. Definitely recommend!

Popped by here for breakfast while I was on a short trip. The bagel sandwich was very delicious. The matcha latte was very rich and flavorful. The place is also very cute too. Would come again if I have the chance!

We had a day trip and looked this place up for vegan fare. It's a gem. The restaurant is pristine and modern. There are ample vegan and gluten free choices. The staff were friendly. It's not too pricey. There are quick grabs, too. The only challenge is parking. But, it was worth walking a few blocks.

We visited the Gnome Cafe on our recent trip to Charleston and everything we tried was fabulous! From the Breakfast Burrito, to our favorite the breakfast Bagel, to all the snacks and treats. The staff was friendly, the cafe very conveniently located, and the place overall was very clean. You'll love the food!
Stacey Wachlin
Could not have been more pleased! All of our food was so delicious (especially the yogurt parfait and cinnamon roll)! The staff are kind and helpful. There was no wait which is hard to find for Sunday brunch in Charleston, and the parking deck next door made it easy to get to. Thanks Gnome Cafe for a great surprise - I’ve added you to my list of favorites!

This place was an excellent meeting spot for some very close friends of mine during a trip to South Carolina. Fairly decent menu for breakfast and lunch. Staff was very courteous and attentive. Ordered a veggie burger with their house made pickles and it was REALLY good. Very light, but filling. Bun was not heavy like other buns I've had. Would DEFINITELY reccomend

This place is creative & sooooo delicious! I am not a fake-meat vegan but their hemp sausage sandwich was soo good. I wish I could go back but they closed at 3pm - thanks again y’all and def don’t miss this spot if your around the CHS area!

This is vegan place. Food is really fresh and we loved the taste. We ordered appetizers, main course and drinks(non alcoholic) everything was perfect ! If you are two people visiting you have small seating arrangements outside the restaurant. We had a perfect weather and loved it
David Brainard
In Charleston for the weekend with my vegan daughter and found this little gem. Food was soooo good - breakfast burrito with a side of brussel sprouts, fried seitan sandwich, tumeric and lavender lattes. Everything was all great and we grabbed a sidewalk table so our dog could hang with us. No question we'll be back.

I was in Charleston for the weekend and looking for a good vegan restaurant and I discovered the Gnome cafe. The place is fantastic had breakfast twice and lunch once. Grits bowl and blueberry pancakes with hemp sausage was great. Lunch I had mushroom BLT on sourdough bread and a side of onion rings. Being vegan it was nice to eat at a restaurant and not have to ask if something is vegan because everything is vegan. The only knox is they are not open for dinner. However, one of their chef's recommend Dells Uptown a vegan friendly small restaurant for dinner. Friendly folks and terrific food. For vegans and vegetarians visiting Charleston you have eat here.

I loved every bite! I think this is such a cute place with great food and amazingly happy staff! Anytime I go to Charleston, I will go back! I’ve had the breakfast, now I need to try the lunch. It’s about a three hour drive from home and if I keep thinking about those pancakes, I may just have to drive down to get some more!!
Tricia Mims
Breakfast burrito, grit bowl, portobello bacon, and the best cinnamon roll ever. Loved this place for breakfast and already dreaming about coming back for lunch.
Stephanie Collins
We stopped in for a late breakfast and got two breakfast bagel sandwiches and a “sausage” biscuit. They were amazing!! Best vegan food I’ve had to date. My toddler loved the sausage biscuit. Very filling and delicious. We will be returning every time we make a day trip to Charleston. Highly recommend.
Jay Rumsey
Amazing vegan cafe, very friendly staff and food is incredible! Highly recommend checking this place out :)
Jen Eyen
Absolutely amazing. We actually went there twice while on a 6 day vacation because my non veg husband and I couldn't get enough. I'm vegan, so it was also wholly appreciated to get to go somewhere that allowed me to order anything off the menu. Every bite was amazing, and the staff were super friendly. I would recommend this to any person heading to the Charleston area. It'll make your freaking day�
Miranda Thomason
The food was delicious. The coffee was great. Glad to have a place with both gluten free and vegan options. Friendly staff.
Brandy Haskins
The owner (I believe the female that walks around is the owner) is fantastic. Always a great attitude and super friendly. We love this place. Breakfast and mimosa is a good Sunday start.
Whitney Sanborn
I absolutely love Gnome cafe. I no longer live in Charleston, but I come back often and Gnome cafe is always a must. The staff is friendly, the food is incredible and the message is pure. I simply love this place.
Tracy Simso Dutra
Can't say enough. Cute, clean little place with staff that was super friendly. All plant based delicious food with lots of flavor. Wish we had a gnome cafe where we live but if ever back in this area we will revisit for sure!
Alissa Kircher
ADORE this place!! I was in town for a couple days this week (from DC) visiting vegan besties & stopped here for lunch both days; couldn't get enough!! The food is beyond phenom & the staff is equally awesome. Gnome Cafe certainly rocks it! �
Ellen Freling Levitt
What a great find ! My daughter is vegan so great for her!!! I found great options as well! Friendly staff, wonderful service! Clean!
Pam V Longenecker
Thank you for your compassion, your beautiful personalities, and your culinary awesomeness! The breakfast burrito, bagels, tofu scramble, sausage, home fries.....all sooooo delish! Roadtripped it back to Annapolis with enough food to eat cruelty free (vs just hanging on until we get home). The animals, the environment and the people of Charleston are fortunate to have you...and so are we any time we find ourselves back in your city!
Linda Edwards
I recently relocated to Charleston from Michigan and was introduced to Gnome Cafe by my daughter. I ordered the portobello mushroom bagel sandwich and it was awesome! I would highly recommend trying out this restaurant and I will return again soon.
