Best Desserts?

Okay, so I%26#39;ve read a lot of the restaurant reviews. Hence, I see that there are so many delightful places to choose from to dine. This is one of the reasons my hubby and I have decided on Charleston for our anniversary trip this year. That being said, I%26#39;m looking for advice on who has the BEST desserts?

Let me tell you that I am (literally) the girl who%26#39;s known to order her meal based on the dessert choices. So, yes, it%26#39;s that serious to me! I%26#39;m sure we will dine some places without catering to my sweet tooth, but I need to know where is THE place to go? Note, I%26#39;m open to suggestions that would be an after-dinner (or mid-day) spot to have desserts only. Oh, and FYI, as big as my sweet tooth is, I do not like chocolate or coffee-flavored desserts. (I know, doesn%26#39;t sound right, but that%26#39;s me!) Cheesecakes, red velvet, and carrot, OH MY!

Thanks!

My personal favorite dessert in Charleston is the coconut cake at the Peninsula Grill. It is fabulous! I love their food, too, but if you prefer not to dine there, you can still order the cake in their bar. Mmmm.....I would love to have a slice right now!

Try Saffron at 333 East Bay St. for that afternoon snack. It%26#39;s a few blocks away from the historic district, but will be worth your time.

The Passion Fruit Cake is our favorite, many times we order a whole cake before our arrival in Charleston to take to the beach w/us.

They do have the whole gamut of Carrot Cakes, Cheesecakes, Death By Chocolate, etc., good stuff.

Many people like Kaminsky%26#39;s, right there on Market St., it%26#39;s good, but we prefer Saffron.

Enjoy!

Oh, oh! I just remembered Cupcake on King St. Truly divine cupcakes (including red velvet!)

Kaminsky%26#39;s, as KB said, is good - http://www.kaminskys.com/ and the perfect place for an afternoon ';pick-me-up'; cheesecake due to its location and the fact that they%26#39;re ';all desserts, all the time';.

Plus, now that you have the website, you can just leave it running on your screen when you%26#39;re not doing anything else - yum!

Thank you so much! You just don%26#39;t know how excited I got perusing the Kaminsky%26#39;s website! (CH, I like the idea of using it as a screensaver!) I will have to check out Saffron too. Desserts from a Mediterranean cuisine restaurant sound quite interesting.

If you have suggestions for a great breakfast place, please check out my other post for ideas. Thank you!!

One of my favorite places to go for dessert downtown is Noisy Oyster on Market Street and East Bay Street. Their Key Lime Pie is beyond belief! They make it on-site and it is big enough to share. It looks like cheesecake but definately is Key Lime Pie!!! YUUUUMMMMM!!!!!! The rest of their food is ok but I sometimes pop in just for pie and even get it as take away.

...almost forgot about Coca-Cola Cake at Jestines!

I too LOVE the Coca Cola cake at Jestine%26#39;s but just a warning to p2 - chocolate (cocoa powder) is a main ingredient.

Kaminsky%26#39;s yes. very good. yum.

The Chocolate Praline Souffle at High Cotton is incredible...best desert I have ever had.
