I’ve written about Daps Breakfast & Imbibe a few times since its opening in the Westside neighborhood of Charleston, SC, I’ve judged a cocktail contest there, I’ve known owners Nick Dowling and Jeremiah Schenzel for years, and I’ve had plenty of meetings over pancakes, so in my mind, this breakfast and brunch spot is the very definition of a neighborhood haunt that feels like home. Speaking of definitions, the word “daps” means “feast” in Latin, and this is a place where you can feast on fruity pebbles pancakes while sipping El Maestro Sierra Sherry if you wish. It’s a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but its owners are seriously ambitious and just getting started.
