If the lines at Lost Dog are daunting, head two blocks over to Black Magic Café, a colorful eatery that serves up “healthy with a twist of naughty.” Sip on a smoothie or loose-leaf tea while you await your veggie-packed omelet, biscuits and gravy, or buttermilk fried chicken. It’s a feel-good locale where the kitchen staff are all smiles, and unsolicited horoscope advice might just make your day.
Open daily, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. 103 W. Erie Ave., (843) 633-0025, blackmagiccafe.com (opens in a new tab)
