Neat little shop in an old lovely brick building. The inside is inviting and welcoming, as are the croissants! We shared a ham and cheese croissant and a chocolate croissant for breakfast. I lived in Spain for two years in my 20’s and this felt and tasted like the memories of those Spanish corner bakeries. Fresh bread baked daily.

Great spot for coffee, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, bagels, various pastries etc. for your morning. Prices are some of the best in the downtown. Plenty of sandwiches for lunch and a limited but sophisticated dinner menu provide anytime options. Cozy community type table seating inside only. Big frontal windows provide nice light and views across Broad St.

Neat bread shop. Stop in to pick up some iced coffee while walking own Queen street. Smooth, strong refreshing and iced latte with almond milk. Fresh sandwiches and pastries where present that looked delicious.

I had a Mocha and a chocolate croissant. The croissant was a little small but very good. The coffee was wonderful. This is the only coffee shop in this area but they are not to be passed by.

In what seems like a quick food desert, there is this wonderful place. I grabbed an Italian sandwich from the cooler, not expecting to be asked if I wanted it heated. It was wonderfully pressed and highlighted how good the bread was. I also had a chocolate croissant which was good, but the sandwich bread is what I’ll be heading back for!

My friend and I found this hidden gem while riding bikes in Charleston. The food was the best we had during our trip. We ordered everything off the menu to try it all. Alex the chef was entertaining and outgoing; we enjoyed talking with him as he created our amazing dishes. We will come back during our next trip into town! The Oysters we amazing!!! We had to order more!

My husband and I were looking for a public restroom as we had been walking around exploring Charleston and we stumbled across this amazing place! We tried different wines and beer along with 2 types of oysters that were harvested the day before in Massachusetts. The staff was amazing, knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. They made you feel like old friends - great place!!

Friendly service and a modest selection of European-inspired pastries. The coffee selection is excellent and on par with what you would find at a continental European coffee house. Nice ambiance for a quick, quiet coffee break with a touch of authenticity Starbucks doesn't offer.

I had gone to Waterfront Park for some photos of the Pineapple fountain and on the way back, I was searching for a pastry or a nice loaf of bread. As I passed Normandy Farms, a loaf of bread caught my eye, so I stopped in. They didn’t have what I was looking for, but I noticed oysters in a small case on the bar. I’ve been on an oyster kick lately, so I decided to sit down and have a few of those. I also ordered another small plate with poached shrimp with radish and celery tossed in an avocado aioli, and a glass of the best sherry I’ve ever tasted (usually it’s cooking sherry in my bisque truthfully). Everything I ate was really well prepared, and the flavor palette impeccable. Coming from Austin, TX that’s saying something. In addition to the food being amazing, Phillip and Sarah (Alex wasn’t there that day) were so much fun to hang out with. Traveling alone can be quite isolating at times, but they really did make me feel at home. I love little gems like this one and highly recommend it on your trip to Charleston, or even for locals that may not know of this place.

The pastries were lovely, but they ran out of specialty coffee and only had drip coffee available. The drip coffee was good, and the price of everything overall was inexpensive. It's a tiny place so I imagine if it got busy it would be tough to find a seat, and parking in the area is nearly non-existent. So walk there if you can. I would definitely recommend this cute, local place for coffee and pastries!

Fun little stop. Too busy in morning, so stopped in afternoon. Great Maine oysters, per hubby. Nice relaxed atmosphere before our dinner reservation down the street. Local hangout. Good pretzel bread.

My fiancée and I had a delicious bagel with cream cheese, I got a incredible caramel iced coffee and he got a decadent double espresso. We couldn't be happier, so yummy! 10/10 would drink again!

Thanks, Normandy Farm Bakery, for always having a great cup of coffee to get us started every morning! Great bakery just down the street with delicious coffee, yummy sandwiches, and the BEST baguettes in town. The prices are reasonable and the service is efficient and friendly.

Phil and Alex are amazing hosts. It is not often that you get a chance to experience great food made by even greater people. Do not pass on this spot! These two gentlemen care about those they serve by asking for your name when you walk in and desire to connect with their customers. Thanks guys!

One of the best Italian Panini's I have had. Quick service. Sandwich was $7 and was filling for me personally (I tend to think I have a medium sized stomach) and it was great quality for the price.

The Phil's (sous chef and bar manager both named Phil) not only delivered the best thing I ate while in Charleston, but they were full of satirical humor and a good laugh. Anyone who has anywhere from a few minutes, to a few hours, to spare in Charleston should absolutely stop by Normandy Bakery on Broad!
