Local Spotlight: Queen Street Grocery

Nestled in the heart of Harleston Village lies an alluring little callback to a simpler time. Serving as one part convenience store, one part brunch destination, and one part neighborhood meeting spot, Queen Street Grocery is a quaint embodiment of Charleston’s distinctive charm.

Tucked inside a historic building that matches the welcoming aesthetic of the neighborhood, the grocery is a perfect midpoint between the Charleston Battery, Colonial Lake and the world-famous shopping on King Street. Coming up on almost a century of operation, it has seamlessly meshed into the fabric of the Charleston community in a way that has earned the respect and adoration of its neighbors.

Funky, vibrant works from local artists splash color onto the walls inside, while a series of chalkboards boast the crepe and sandwich offerings of the day. A small wine cellar is tucked into the back room, and complimentary dog treats and water greet the fuzzier patrons at the door.

Stop by during brunch, and you’re likely to find the place bustling with happy neighborhood faces. Come a little bit later, and you’ll be greeted with a glass of water and a friendly resting place. Charleston can be flamboyant and magnificent, but it also has a unique sense of community. Queen Street Grocery serves as a warm reminder of that side of the city.
