Harken Cafe & Bakery

Harken Cafe & Bakery is a small cafe on Queen Street in Charleston's French Quarter, known for breakfast biscuits, salad bowls and sandwiches, and a steady stream of housemade pastries. The menu is built around seasonal ingredients and recipes made from scratch, with items like the Butter Me Up breakfast sandwich on a ricotta biscuit, the Green Thing avocado toast, and the GG Bowl salad.

The shop sits tucked around the corner from the main street, with exposed brick, warm wood and a shaded piazza for sitting outside. Coffee and cookies travel well for a walk around the nearby streets. Breakfast is served until 11 AM on weekdays and all day on weekends, morning pastries sell first come, first served, and gift cards, catering and shipped gift items are also available.
