If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then where you go for your morning bite might just be the most important decision you make. Luckily for beachgoers, Croissants Bistro and Bakery makes it easy. The cozy coastal brunch spot has been a local favorite for 30 years, serving fresh-roasted coffee, mimosas, baked goods, homemade soups and sandwiches since 1995.
Croissants owner Heidi Vukov is well-established in the local food scene. She has been named South Carolina Restaurateur of the Year and is an official South Carolina Chef Ambassador. Heidi also runs Hook & Barrel next door, an approachable fine-dining seafood restaurant dedicated to sustainability. Here on Heidi’s Corner – as they call it – you can expect great food, a relaxed atmosphere and impeccable service.
What’s Good Here?
The menu at Croissants promises an excellent balance of fresh, light bites with just enough indulgence to remind yourself you’re on vacation. Favorites include the shareable baked brie topped with a lemon blueberry compote, the delectable bananas foster French toast made with their house challah bread and the lunchtime-favorite crab cake sandwich. Pro-tip: Make sure to grab a slice of carrot cake or another sweet treat on your way out.
What’s the Vibe?
Croissants is bright and airy with enough rustic touches to let you know it’s ok to put your elbows on the table. You can walk in for a quick grab-and-go coffee and sweet treat, or you can find yourself a table and spend as much time as you’d like gabbing over coffee, mimosas and some of the finest breakfast and lunch dishes at The Beach.
