"We got drawn in to Gala Cafe & Bakery by the large, delicious- looking coconut cake someone raved about. It turns out this was actually their weakest link, but fortunately the other things we bought were excellent. The almond joy dessert is rich and flavorful and just delicious. The pear amaretto cake is amazing and would be just perfect with a cup of morning coffee. As mentioned, the coconut cake - skip it. Dry, extremely sweet, barely any coconut flavor. Portions are huge (good for splitting). Service is friendly. Ambiance is charming. Parking is extremely limited."

"Charming café in the Old Village of Mt Pleasant, with an outdoor patio. Perfect lunch spot after a walk to the Pitt Street Bridge park."

"The most adorable cafe in Mount Pleasant!!! Stopped in this morning before leaving South Carolina and I’m so glad that I did! The staff was incredibly friendly, the coffee was so good and the pastries were delicious! I wish I had discovered this place earlier on, on my trip because I would have been there everyday! The area sounding Gala Cafe and Bakery is absolutely amazing, so stop by, sit on their porch and enjoy the area!"

"Adorable little cafe & bakery nestled in a charming little sea town. Beautifully presented desserts and delicious coffee. A little too sweet for my tastes, but still a wonderful experience. Sugar lovers would be in heaven!"

"Doesn’t quite hit the mark. Staff was nice and location is great but food and coffee was not good. Egg and cheese sandwich was actually egg casserole (with hash browns) that was strong on onion flavor so I had to send it back. Just name it Egg Casserole and Cheese Sandwich?? The replacement quiche was covered in cheddar cheese which made it greasy. And the coffee is flavored. To get regular black coffee you have to get an Americano. As for vibe, the decor is hodgepodge (maybe southern?) and music was hard. The location in a cute village and the nice staff were the saving graces."
