A Visit to Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit

Home » A Visit to Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit

Carrie Morey and Callie (her Mom) have been in the biscuit business in Charleston for ten years – supplying tender buttery biscuits via an on-line store and through outlets including Fresh Market. They opened their first shop in Charleston just over a year ago. Our Virginia-Highland Hot Little Biscuit is their second, and they are delighted to be here. I had biscuits for breakfast one morning a few days ago, and I’m glad they are here, too!

Carrie may be the only baker for whom the little shop on the corner feels luxuriously large. Their store in Charleston is only eight feet wide, including the kitchen. Our shop here has a bright show kitchen in the storefront where you can watch your biscuit being made. There’s also a counter to stay and enjoy biscuits, coffee and watching the passersby.
Biscuits come in seven varieties: buttermilk, country ham, cheese and chive, cinnamon, black pepper bacon, cocktail ham and shortcakes. And there is fresh made blackberry jam or pimento cheese to go on top. Biscuits come by the pair, hot out of the oven – crispy on top, tall and tender inside. Or you can buy them hot to go or frozen to use out of your freezer.

Judging by the many comments in our local social media, both before and after opening, Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit is already a stunning success. The neighborhood was buzzing days before they even opened for business, and after they did, there were lines stretching out the door.
