Man’s best friend is welcome at this whimsical little bakery where he can crunch on his house-made doggie cookie while you sip your latte in a cozy courtyard banked by ginger lilies. The brainchild of pastry chef Lauren Mitterer, WildFlour serves up all manner of mouth-watering bites, the menu ranging from double-chocolate brownies and cinnamon-sugar-dusted snickerdoodles to savory scones piquant with pesto and studded with sun-dried tomatoes and double-cream quiche stuffed with figs and prosciutto. Sticky Bun Sundays are one-day-only affairs of buttery brioche dough overflowing with a nut-packed caramel that would make a pecan pie proud. 73 Spring St., (843) 327-2621, www.wildflourpastrycharleston.com
