Gnome cafe is the newest addition to Charleston’s vegan dining scene. The Westside eatery serves 100% plant-based breakfast, lunch, and baked goods Tuesday through Saturday. Popular dishes include the hemp sausage biscuit, cinnamon pancakes, and Thai salad. Gnome is committed to sustainable practices by composting food waste and providing eco-friendly, reusable to-go containers. Additionally, the restaurant subscribes to Compost Now, which reduces food waste, improves soil quality, and supports climate action in the Lowcountry.
Gnome restaurant is a small, indoor space with a minimalistic interior. The walls are adorned with plants, and there is a small gnome statue peeking out from behind the pastry display near the front counter. There is a grab-and-go fridge with drinks and vegan specials, as well as several seating options throughout the restaurant.
The gnome cafe features a simple menu of breakfast, lunch, and dessert items that are made to order. It also has a selection of to-go snacks and beverages including coffee, tea, and kombucha. The food is delicious and it is a great place to eat for lunch. It is a little difficult to find parking though so come early if you can.
In this meat-soaked city, finding animal-free options can be challenging. While many fine dining restaurants will accommodate vegetarians and vegans during dinner service, choices are slimmer at other times of day. Gnome Cafe offers a tofu scramble, a smoked salmon bagel, and tempeh Reuben for those looking for a hearty meal without any dairy or meat.
The gnome restaurant is accessible by speaking to Gianne jnr, located on the 2nd floor[US] north of the Grand Tree. Players must be level 29 or higher to play this minigame, and it is recommended to complete the Grand Tree questline before beginning. The reward for each gnome food delivery is stored on a token, which can be redeemed at the gnome cafe to receive additional deliveries.
