The Flying Biscuit Café will open its latest restaurant, located in the West Ashley neighborhood of Charleston, on Monday, Jan. 29.

Flying Biscuit Café West Ashley is the second Charleston area location for the all-day breakfast chain, which has been serving its biscuits and Southern-inspired meals throughout the Southeast for more than 30 years, a news release stated.

The new West Ashley Flying Biscuit Café, 2245 Ashley Crossing Drive, Unit 16, will also be the second franchise location for owner Summer Lee, who opened the concept in Greenville in 2019, according to the release.

“As the birthplace of Charleston, West Ashley is home to some of the city’s best neighborhoods and is full of history and beauty, making it the perfect destination for the Flying Biscuit Café,” said Lee in the release. “I’ve been wanting to open in West Ashley for several years, and I believe our Greenville location, with all its growth, newfound tourism and nearby attractions, has prepared me well for the next level here in Charleston.”
