Gaulart & Maliclet (Fast and French)
A locals' counter in the middle of the lawyers' end of Broad Street, open since 1984. City Paper's Charleston Classics list says the cafe 'doesn't get half of the praise it deserves' after more than four decades downtown, and in June 2026 the paper called the lunch menu a steal for the historic district ... a vegetarian pizza croissant at $13.50, and soup with baguette and French cheese at $12. Most people know it only as Fast and French.
