The Twist in Milton offers a drive-thru and sit-down space for those wanting ice cream (me!) and other items like burgers, etc.



My main goal here was to find a delicious ice cream.



I ordered a small caramel sundae. It came with these little dollops of whipped cream on the side, which were adorable.


Have you been? What's the best thing to get?

I went to Cafe Crema when it was located on the West Side of Charleston, but it moved to Dunbar and expanded some of its offerings.

It's cute!

Cafe Crema was the perfect spot to get some work done, so I started off with a drink. They were advertising a peanut butter & jelly frappuccino, and that sounded fun.

And for some lunch, I ordered the Big Dipper, which is not something I'd typically go for. It had cheddar and feta cheese, ham, salami, black olives on wheat bread with 1000 island dipping sauce.




First, the drink really did taste like peanut butter - not heavy on the jelly. But definitely nutty.

And this sandwich has become one of my all-time favorites! I'll be getting it again and again.

I recently made my first visit to Parsons to experience Pickin in Parsons.

While there, I wanted to check out the local fare.

Piccolo Paula's Caffe is a very cute cafe that has soups, sandwiches, salads -- and more!

The interior has lots of twinkly lights, local crafts and a fun mix of decor.

The special on this day was a crab bisque with garlic cheese ciabatta. Yes, please!

When they said a large bowl, they weren't joking! But, it hit the spot on a rainy day! And I could've spent hours here just people-watching and relaxing.

My first time flying out of Charleston had me a bit on edge. I've really only flown from large airports, so I was cautious.

But my fears were put to ease when I saw a Tudor's Biscuit World IN THE AIRPORT. I'm sure not too many places can claim that.

And since I've tried most of the Tudor's in the Charleston area at this point, the airport was no exception.

And, I'll tell you what. This may be the fluffiest biscuit I've had yet. I'm looking forward to my next trip - if for no other reason than I will be sure to stop here as part of tradition now.

Cafe Appalachia is a new restaurant -- and concept -- in South Charleston.

The restaurant is pay-what-you-can, and it helps folks who have been dealt a rough hand get back on their feet.



From their Facebook: "A pay what you can, farm to table, lunch buffet and coffee house that serves the general public and provides job training for a hand up and not a hand out."




The restaurant has a set buffet menu each day, and you can choose large or small portions.


On the day I went, they had pasta - with or without meat sauce - so I went without because it was a delicious garlic basil sauce.

The sides were salad, bread and rice pudding for dessert. This was a large size to-go.
