The Co-Op Gourmet Sandwiches — Restaurant in Charleston

Well, I was strolling down Cannon Street this morning and passed by this new sandwich shop called "The Coop". I have always loved chicken, so I thought I would try it. Much to my surprise, there were only two chicken items on the menu! Very odd. Still, I ordered a 'Cowboy Chicken' sandwich. The staff was super friendly, and the ambience is quite lovely, but the chicken was deli-style, not an actual chicken breast, which is odd because I assumed they must have had a chicken coop in the back of the building (probably so patrons don't see the chickens getting slaughtered), so why would it be deli chicken? Also, I noticed on the bag (picture attached) they have a drawing of a Flamingo!! Like, who can't tell the difference between a Flamingo and a chicken? It looks NOTHING like a chicken. And the final kick is that they literally DO NOT HAVE FLAMINGO ON THE MENU, which left me scratching my head. Anyway, overall it was a very nice little place to get a sandwich, but the marketing is very confusing. Are you a chicken joint or a...

Co-op is a very clean restaurant with a friendly staff. We came in during the snow event and most restaurants were closed so they were slammed. The line moved quickly and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Five stars for environment and staff.

Sadly, the sandwiches were terrible. These may be the blandest sandwiches I've ever eaten. I'd give the food one star. My husband and I ordered the two most popular sandwiches and they tasted exactly the same, like nothing at all.

Charleston is literally a global foodie destination. If you're here, don't waste a meal on something that is tasteless.

Their smoothies are good. If you're on cannon and want something refreshing, I highly recommend you...

We at lunch at the Co-Op today. Walking into Co-Op felt like stepping into a secret society of sandwich perfection. The staff was friendly, the restaurant clean and smiles everywhere. Our order was out in a flash — fast enough to make a drive-thru blush.

And the sandwiches and salad? Every bite was delicious — the sandwich fillings layered so perfectly they could have been designed by an architect, the salad was fresh, and the red wine and vinegar chips made me want to stand up and applaud.

Friendly, fast,...
