Byrd's Famous Cookies 71 South Market Street, Charleston, SC 29401

"Very cute, historic cookie shop. Paris greeted us warmly, offered samples and made excellent suggestions for items within the store as well as in Charleston. Looking forward to enjoying our box of cookies with hot tea. Favorite flavors are lemon & almond."

"The promise of free cookies is sure to reel customers in! There were a variety of delicious flavors of cookies and various other dessert items when I visited. I’d definitely stop in again on my next visit to Charleston!"

"This place is great .there are 2 locations a block from each other .1 store has more then the other.definetly worth checking out.there salted peanuts are pretty good too.who knew I would love these small crispy cookie."

"Byrd's offers free samples of all their bite sized cookies so this is worth checking out. All their flavors are available at a mix and match scoop your own little truck in the center of the shop. This lets you get as many of each flavor that you want rather than having to get full sizes of everything. There are various gift box sizes and options available throughout the shop as well as some other assorted merchandise including mugs and even coffee. The scotch oatmeal cookies were my favorite and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the key lime cookies for someone who typically doesn't love lime. I wasn't completely blown away by the cookies themselves, but they are tasty."

"Love love that they have a sample cookie bar with an option to taste before you buy. However, allowing non service dogs in the store and them jumping up to get a cookie on the cookie bar is not acceptable. We actually left one location and went to the other one. The worker encouraged the owner by engaging in dog chit chat and by petting it - we didn't stick around to see if she washed her hands. Service dogs ... true service dogs are trained to not jump allover the place. We actually see the same owner and dog out somewhere else and it was jumping around there too. That's not how they are trained to act. Henry the dog is a fake service dog. We proceeded to the other cookie store as they have two on the same strip. We tasted and purchased a couple types of cookies. One was the pumpkin one and the other was a salted caramel. They were nothing spectacular but a nice treat."
