A popular Charleston sandwich spot has opened a second Lowcountry location.

Bodega, a Charleston staple serving New York-style sandwiches, benedicts and other brunch fare, has opened in Mount Pleasant at 414 W. Coleman Blvd., according to a news release.

The restaurant will offer the same menu items and brunch-focused mains served at the downtown Charleston location.

Beginning as a weekend breakfast pop-up out of Uptown Hospitality Group’s King Street hotspot, Uptown Social, Bodega pays homage to the neighborhood bodega and specializes in Manhattan-style sandwiches, breakfast and lunch fare, and beverages, the release stated.

The Mount Pleasant location will boast new features like a drive-thru and an expansive patio for al fresco dining, the release stated. Like the original Bodega, the new restaurant will feature an interior dining room invoking a distinctly New York vibe with graffiti and colorful accents.

“Growth has always been our goal,” said Alec Gropman, director of culinary operations and partner at Bodega, in the release. “Watching Bodega evolve from an Uptown Social kitchen pop-up to a mainstay on Ann Street, to a second location opening in Mount Pleasant, has been so inspiring for our team. We’re excited to expand Bodega’s footprint and continue sharing all that Uptown Hospitality Group offers.”
